We got two cakes: macadamchoco and le tout fraise. Both were really great options to satisfy different tastes.
I prefer more indulgent desserts so I really enjoyed the chocolate one. I loved the mix of nutty flavours and textures. The crunchy prailine base tasted incredible with the smooth chocolate mousse. The glaze was so shiny and the touch of gold shimmer was beautiful.
The strawberry is great if you like lighter cakes. Delicious jam sandwiched by vanilla sponge cake. Wasn't too sweet and the fresh strawberry toppings was a nice touch.
Must be the best kept secret of the patisserie scene. Have never seen them get mentioned in any top cakes & pastry lists from all the "lists" sites, but this is my favourite place on the North Shore for cakes & treats for special occasions for many years. Location wise unless you live in the immediate area, it's really out of the way (probably a good thing for me, otherwise I'll be here all the time). The cakes are lovely, nothing too fancy or out of the ordinary, but solid varieties with slight differences done well. Quality are consistent, yet to come across any duds. Friendly service. The best thing is it's "local" prices, I got 2 individual cakes & an eclair for under $15, you can't even get 2 at a more prominent cake place.

The best baguettes and croissants in town.
Having breakfast here is such a delight.
Get in early or you won't have any breads to buy.
Although the main lady serving can look quite grumpy and arrogant she is quite nice!
