French pastries + a good cup of coffee - the perfect duo.
When I first walked in, I was immediately enticed by the aroma of freshly baked croissants! We were the first customers around 12pm on Sunday so it was nice and quiet. The space itself is bigger than I expected - about 20 seats, a middle section with tea & chocolate, and the main counter with the display of treats. Love the clean simple space - white walls, light wood and dark grey accents on the banquette, pillows, and mugs.
We ordered Almond Croissant, Apple Croissant, Lemon Tart, Matcha Latte and Cappucino for a total of $21. Then we added 2 Oolong Macarons at $2.50 each. And then after an hour, the Mont Blanc were ready so I ordered one to go, along with a Hazel and an '8' Pastry - another $18.
Almond Croissant - look at those beautiful fine lines! Quite buttery and flaky. I like the almond filling inside, wish there was more of it! And of course, I love the wood serving board.
Apple Croissant - I like the finely sliced apples
Lemon Tart - I never order lemon desserts, but the beautiful pale yellow with flecks of green caught my attention. While the shortbread crust was a bit too hard for my liking (but then again I guess it's supposed to be hard), the basil-infused lemon filling was the perfect level of sour-ness and creaminess. So simple, ended up being my favorite of the day.
Finally have time to try this place after my friend told me about it three months ago. Since then, popularity has skyrocketed on instagram and I even read their feature in Ming Pao magazine introducing the barista-pastry chef team along with the interior designer co-owner.
