Choux is famous for its macarons, and used to be managed by the celebrated French chef Emannuel Mollois before his sad passing from bone cancer in 2017. It had been a while since our last visit and we decided to pop in for some takeaway afternoon tea following a brunch at the beach. As we arrived, the pastry chef was just transporting a huge and very delicious looking gateau to a client’s car – it looked amazingly good.
A note to anyone who does not eat egg: this wonderful patisserie does a "Joseph Cake" which is a circular mille-feuille type of layered pastry-cake with alternate layers of freshly made choux pastry and vanilla cream (fresh whipped and thickened without gelatine) augmented with fresh berries (raspberry, blackberry, blueberry, strawberry) and which is not too sweet either. This is visually beautiful, large and not too sweet. Has to be pre-ordered. I have ordered it many times and every time it is simply a hit. Not expensive. A true home-made, home-created beauty.
Really friendly service. Everything we had was amazing. No complaints at all. We ordered too much, our eyes were bigger than our stomachs but seriously hard not to buy everything in a place like this. My suggestion is share with a friend and try everything!
Lovely french baked goods, coffee pretty mediocre, staff seem interested if quite glib, nice spot to sit out the back. Overall good but seems to have lost a little of its sparkle in the last year ir so
What a lovely place!
Croissants are yummy! The coffee is good too (they must have changed coffee supplier or coffee machine in the past few months) . Good atmosphere. The staff is quite nice too. If you want to eat a French style croissant or pastry, that's the place!
Amazing ham and cheese croissants! So flaky and buttery! Winner for me! I also ordered the tart of the day - berries tart w/ a shortbread base. Quite sweet for my liking, however I'll defs visit again and try something else on the menu!
Today’s instalment comes from glorius Western Australia. The courageous and determined, Christine, from sunny Perth went to not one but three patisseries in search of éclairs. What an effort! Special thanks to her husband, Jason, and daughter’s, Isobel and Abigail for supporting their mum on her brave journey. Go team WA! Here is her story…
Go for the croissants. Avoid the coffee like the plague. but I only buy the croissants. 3 boys, back from surfing, crumbling, crunchy, cheerful. Take them home, fill with butter and jam, enter heaven.

Great macarons - fair price. Butterscotch macaron, enough said. But I'll say a bit more, the mango/lemon/tropical fruity ones are great and moist. Word of warning sometimes, some can be a bit stale, especially in the gift packs (just make up your own gift pack/box). If buying in bulk, probably buy one of each flavour to taste before you commit to a whole bunch.
Cannot thank the chef (Bryan) and staff enough for the amazing effort that was put in to creating the amazing cake and Bonbonniere for our recent wedding. The raspberry mousse cake had guests going back for seconds and the boxes of custom macarons were a beautiful end to the festivities. Amazing care and consideration, recommend Choux Cafe highly for any bespoke catering needs.
Absolutely fantastic. The coffee was lovely and the desserts were delicious! Reminded us of the local patisserie from my girlfriend's home town. The staff were very friendly and super helpful in aiding us in making our selection. Will definitely be back to try all the other desserts on offer!!
Beautiful and delicate pastries and macaroons are good for afternoon tea. The staff is very helpful too.
As a french person I can say the bread and pain au chocolat and croissant are very good. Nice little place but not many tables inside. You can leave your dog outside.
Really cute little cafe! Great food for cheap prices and cute deco. Can get a bit busy when everyone comes in for a coffee but defiantly worth it
Tragically it seems like Choux has closed. Please come back somewhere guys! Best croissants ever and super staff and venue. Shame this covid business is terrible. Will miss you
Excellent bakery. The coffee is delightful and the patisserie is beyond heavenly. So delicious
Blueberry Pastisserie was light and fluffy, not too sweet or heavy. Cappuccino was mild. Beautiful selection of patisseries and cakes.
