Pastries

Great pastries (and coffee !) are the backbone of any Italian or French bar. Be it for a continental breakfast, a lunchtime treat or with an afternoon tea, we have a great variety of eye-catching and mouth-watering pastries and cakes.

We go to extraordinary lengths to source and use superb ingredients, be it top quality sultanas from Australia, non-treated oranges and lemons from Sicily, vanilla powder (as against compounds).. a lot of extra work, but we think you will agree that it is all very worthwhile.

Take a dessert tray home for your dinner parties, drop in for those croissants when you buy the Sunday newspaper, or nibble away with a great cappuccino or tea. House specialties: fruit tartlets, ricotta cookies or marzipan. Our brownies are also worthed a trip. 

"You don't get tired of muffins but you don't find inspiration in them."
George Bernard Shaw

Why are our muffins not gigantic ?  Super-size muffins are obtained with more fat and more sugars. We avoid using the so called “vegetable oils”, 90% of times these are “palm oil”, a cheap oil, rich in saturated fat, this extend the shelve life of many food products. Not ours.
