    This was open on Sunday contrary to the listing. The inventory on Sunday afternoon was low. But…read morethe Earl Grey was good. The custard tarts were delicious with a light flaky crust. I'm not sure why they have waffle cones in the window but don't appear to sell ice cream. (Apparently they do have ice cream. I just didn't see it on the menu.)

    This was my second visit here and first time trying the food, you get enticed in by the spectacular…read morecakes in the window making it look like a french patisserie ( I think thats what they are going for, hence the name) the inside looks very much like other french cafe inspired chains (think Cafe Rouge), its not the biggest cafe i've been in but you can sit comfortably as long as your group doesn't exceed 4 - 5 people. There is plenty of staff wandering around and in fairness dressed quite smart in ties and waistcoats, i'm not sure if we were supposed to be seated by them but we just marched in a picked a place. I ordered the poached eggs on wholegrain toast (there didn't seem to be a choice of white) and a flat white; of course. My partner in dining ordered a croissant filled with gruyere cheese and button mushrooms and a béchamel sauce and a pot of tea. The drinks came almost instantly, it was a pretty good flat white and i liked the cup and saucer it came in; don't judge me I find it important how things are presented. The tea came on its own tray/chopping board that seemed to take up half of the table which proved a bit of an issue when the food arrived not 5 minutes later. No sudden movements please, nearly sent a piece of toast careening off to the next table. My poached eggs were cooked well, suspiciously perfectly formed and dome like as if created by some dark magic but runny inside so I was happy, and the toast was well - like toast I added my own butter. The croissant came with a side salad and was a decent sized portion, however the béchamel sauce made the pastry go stodgy, the sauce itself tasted a bit floury. Unlike other cheese and mushroom croissants this wasn't toasted it was a croissant that had be cut in half; had whole (not sliced) button mushrooms and cheese but inside then slathered in the sauce. Hate to say it but the Starbucks version is tastier and cheaper. With that all said and done, I would go back for coffees and breakfast. It's a nice alternative to the likes of Costa and Starbucks (we doth not mention Nero) and you can almost always get a seat.

    Patisserie Valerie - Tea 'board'. Loose leaf tea takes a bit longer to brew.

    As a coeliac you may question why I'm writing a review for a bakery, and sadly it's not because…read morethey are making amazing Gluten Free alternatives of their delicious looking cakes. I have a major sweet tooth, and whilst I can't eat their delicious cakes I can buy them for other people. So whilst I'm buying Danishes and tarts for the other half, I'm buying myself the freshly made monster meringues. Worth treating yourself to some freshly baked classics and great bread as opposed to a cupcake every now and again. It's always nice to find a good local supplier that means you can bypass the supermarket and grab something freshly and locally made with good quality ingredients. They are superbly located for the commuters from Snow Hill Station, you just need to remember its there on the corner of Great Western Arcade.

They offer fresh bread, cakes, pasties, sandwiches and a great alternative for a nice lunch. Although the interior is quite small and there are only a few seats I'd recommend the food here to anyone. You can also buy their items for home use. I bought a whole bread loaf!! Although you pay a little more, the better tastier food, an alternative to the big supermarkets, and you know that your supporting a local grocer's using local sourced ingredients, its a win win all round. Pay them a visit!
