What mickodoherty likes about Patisserie Valerie:
I absolutely adore this restaurant during the summer months. The outdoor seating is perfect for relaxing and enjoying a cup of coffee. The food is top-notch, especially the cakes and pastries which are all incredibly delicious. The staff here are extremely courteous, friendly, and always ready to assist. This is my favorite cafe in Cambridge because of their professionalism. Out of all the cafes in the Grafton Centre... View all feedback. What MichaelMacartney doesn't like about Patisserie Valerie:
Paid two visits recently. First was not brilliant as staff very disorganised. Having said that on the way back different staff, different service and great food. Had the full English which was promptly served and delicious! View all feedback.

We have eaten at many of these bakeries and enjoyed them but this was a let down. Service at the counter was slow and the cakes were dry and didn't seem fresh....

Visitors to this bakery were generally let down by the service and food quality, with dry cakes and subpar coffee being common complaints. However, some were pleased with the high standard of food and service, especially enjoying menu items like bruschetta and pecan tart. Price was a common point of contention, but the pleasant atmosphere and adult clientele were noted as positives. Despite some mixed reviews, many found the experience worth a visit, especially for those looking for a change from the more popular fast-food options at the service station.

Don't expect any French authenticity from this bakery other than its name. The pastries are lackluster. I recommend trying Maison Clement on Hills Road for trul...

Everyone gravitates to Costa at these services, where there is frequently a long queue. Stroll across the atrium to Patisserie Valerie where the quality and ser...
