How we read reviews →Tucked-away CBD laneway patisserie famed for its not-too-sweet strawberry shortcake.
A petite, quaint laneway patisserie with limited indoor seating and a few outdoor tables; several reviewers describe a strict eat-and-go culture, with staff enforcing a no-laptop, no-lingering policy even when the shop isn't busy.
Fresh-cream cakes made in-house, a halal-friendly strawberry cake noted by one reviewer, complimentary lemon-infused water, no card-payment surcharge, and custom birthday cake orders.
French patisserie technique (choux pastry, St Honore, mille-feuille) praised as genuine by a self-identified French reviewer who compared it favourably to pastries at home.
Mixed: one reviewer called a $100 six-inch strawberry cake poor value and flagged repeated small price rises, while most single cakes and tarts are described as reasonably priced for the CBD.
