★★★★★4 months agoTheir signature breakfast was heavenly, 10/10! So fresh, great quality ingredients merge perfectly together, I enjoyed and I'd come back for this! 🥐

★★★★★2 years agoGreat French patisserie. I had a chocolate caramel with nuts. It was absolutely 💯 👌 I will have it again and also try something new. It all looked lovely, but I had already eaten enough that day. So next time. The staff were really nice and we had a laugh together. The atmosphere is very relaxing. The place is very clean and tidy, and next time I will spend time there with a coffee and relax 😃
