French Bread & Pastries

As we make everything from scratch, we are limited in time and space so, on a daily basis, we offer you a small quantity, but top quality, of traditional treats you would find in any French artisan bakery:

Baguette Campaillette

Croissants Pur Beurre* (Full butter croissant)

Pains au chocolat

Chouquettes

Financiers

Choux Chantilly

Fruits tarts

…

*Our croissants strictly come as they are. We DO NOT offer jam and/or butter with them as we don’t do that in France.

But don’t worry, once you’ve tried them, you will see the difference between our croissants (made with 2 types of the Best butter in the world (Isigny Ste Mère), 2 types of imported flour (Gruau T45 and T55)), finalist of Best Croissant UK2024 and semi-finalist 2025, and the croissant you commonly find in other places, that are supplied ready made from mass-production and using margarine instead of butter. Those have a really low cost of production, but very low food quality.

Our croissants have a specific smell, texture and flavours.

it takes over 30 Hours to make and are served at rooùm temperature as they need to cool down to get the right texture.

As per the Traditional way, we only make Almond croissants when we have left over croissants, as they MUST be made with croissants from the day before.

As our pastries are extremely populare and as we can only bake a certain amount, it is highly recommended to pre-order them.

We ask for 24H notice for up to 2 pastries and 48H for more than 2.
