Excellent! I ordered 3 cakes for my birthday (St Honoré, raspberry cake and mille-feuille), all as beautiful as they are delicious (special mention for the St Honoré!). A lovely boss with delivery right up to the last mile, thank you again!

Very warm place and welcome, it's a pleasure to find a bakery making their own pastries (it's so rare these days) and their pastries are delicious!! The proumen and the django are by far the best cakes I've ever eaten, I highly recommend them!

I came this morning for the first time to buy a whole-wheat loaf. I was greeted pleasantly and with a smile. In the end, I also had a seeded loaf and was tempted by a Valencia. Their breads are very good. And the Valencia was incredible, a perfect blend of the sweet and tangy side of the clementine-based pastry. I highly recommend this bakery and I'll definitely be back!
