Croissants didn't arrive for a long while and when asked, were delivered quickly to table. Looked like croissants were hastily microwaved as they were all soggy; disappointment. Ordered chicken quiche but given bacon instead. Mentioned to staff and got a shrug; another disappointment. No need for a revisit.

Went back later in the day and waited to order and pay quite a while - they're a bit slow here (and both times wasn't particularly busy). I ordered two sweets, beautifully created, and very nice and sweet patisserie items. One had a delightful little macaron on top. I also ordered a plain croissant that was nice and fluffy inside. My cappuccino came out fast and was a good coffee, though no latte art. There's a lot of hype over this place due to the beautifully created treats, just be prepared for the wait.

My favorites are the Salted Caramel Tart and the pastry with chocolate chips in it, although I can't remember its exact name. The Chicken Sandwich is fantastic, and everything else I've tried there has been excellent. I highly recommend this place.

It's a nice relaxed atmosphere with chill music, and the croque monsieur is definitely not healthy, but it tastes delicious! You should definitely give it a try :)
