After my lunch at the French Bistrot I decide on a coffee here. Walking into this cool and tastefully decorated Patisserie, I leave the stifling Summer heat at the door. I can take a seat and relax as we have table service. I order a large (Merlo) Cafe Latte that comes with three shots. Unfortunately, the Signature Scones are unavailable on weekends so I opt for a Croissant with butter and jam.
*My Cafe Latte is exceptional. Served hot and strong, this coffee is full flavoured and smooth. This is my best Merlo Coffee this year and it rates a perfect 5!
*The Croissant is warmed just enough for the butter to melt and with a dollop of Strawberry jam it is simply delightful. My best Croissant for the year and it rates a perfect 5!
A staff member declined my request to photograph inside this cosy Patisserie, the scrumptious cakes and pastries. Thus, I am only able to share photos of my food and beverage. I compliment the Barista for my great coffee and I thank the young waitress for her caring service. Highly recommended!
For over a decade the food has always been fresh and tempting. I recently had a Bailey's cheesecake that was the most delicious, melt-in-your-mouth cake that only the C P B could serve. I am returning as often as I can to indulge in another. This place has been a favourite of locals and visitors for a long time and the selection of mouth watering cakes is unsurpassed in Brisbane. I take my overseas visitors there all the time. (If I were to complain about anything, it is that there is no table cloth or even a place mat. Only serviettes and if the standard were raised a napkin would be great.)
I visit cream whenever I am in the area and want a sweet fix. You can't go wrong with freshly baked scones. The breakfasts are not out there with "fancy health foods" which I like, just your standard bacon and eggs, It is an all day breakfast as well. Personally I am not a big lover of the coffee that they serve. You can tend to wait a little so if you are in a rush best to get take away. I find the staff always helpful and nice.
