Misleading Ordering System & Terrible Customer Service - Avoid!…read more I had an absolutely awful experience with this company. Their ordering system is completely misleading, and their customer service is even worse. I ordered a cake with several extras--an inscription, a cake topper, and balloons. When I received my order confirmation email, it clearly listed all the extras I had selected. Naturally, I assumed everything was in order. Fast forward to when I received my cake--none of the extras were included. When I contacted customer service, they told me I hadn't paid for them. But if that were the case, why on earth would the confirmation email list them? This makes absolutely no sense. If they weren't included in my payment, the email should not have listed them--it completely robbed me of the opportunity to realize the mistake and amend my order in time. Instead of acknowledging their mistake, customer service did nothing but blame me. They told me I should have checked the total amount paid. But why would I question it when the confirmation email listed everything I had selected? That's beyond misleading--it's outright deceptive. Their only "solution" was to give me an email address to send feedback to upper management, which is utterly useless when I now have to go out and buy another cake last minute. No compensation, no attempt to fix their mistake--just defensive, dismissive, and unhelpful responses. Avoid this company unless you want to be misled, blamed for their mistakes, and left scrambling at the last minute. Disgraceful.

I love the Brits tradition of afternoon tea. It's such an comforting ritual, that same sort of…read morefeeling that I have when I have my morning coffee. My husband and I both ordered the cream tea, my tea being darjeeling. It's loose leaf tea steeped in a lovely porcelain pot, accompanied with milk and sugar cubes plus 2 scones and an assortment of jams, clotted cream, and other spreads. Now, I am no tea aficionado so I couldn't tell you if it was good quality tea, etc. but what I can tell you is that I loved the experience of it. They have some delicious looking pastries and cakes displayed in the window, enough to lure you in. Prices are cheaper than The Grand Cafe and service was spot on.

I'd been looking to try this place for months, with it's fancy looking pastries and super French…read morevibe. I was hoping and expecting to be able to have French quality again after having super flaky, melty croissants in France. I was a little disappointed, but still glad this place is near me and doing well despite being surrounded by a bunch of coffee shops. What disappointed me were the stalwart basics: both the croissant and pain au chocolat had extra tough and hard exteriors. The dough was way too dense. The bottom of the croissant layers were not able to separate and had an unpleasant doughy taste. The pain au raisin didn't taste remarkable at first but at the very end the buttery, custardy flavor finally hit my taste buds, which left me wanting more. The apricot pastry was also nice, caramelized almonds and a crunchy flaky base. Though I have to say all the pastries were over-baked and over-browned, likely one of the reasons for the tough exterior. Maybe I'll be more impressed with the bread the next time I visit.

Pascal and Debbie run this friendly patisserie, tucked out of sight away from Abingdon town centre…read more However, it is well worth seeking out, as this place is an absolute gem. All the cakes and pastries are made on site by Pascal, and all are far too tasty for their own good, and very reasonably priced! I personally love their almond croissants, which I daren't eat too often! We asked Debbie and Pascal to make the cake for us for G's 40th birthday - they did an absolutely fantastic job, as you can see from the picture provided. Absolute 'genocide by chocolate', for a very reasonable £40! I can't recommend this place highly enough. Lovely people, amazing cakes. If they did coffee and had seating, you would never get me out of it!

There are so many tasty and beautiful treats on display that you will be spoiled for choice. There's cakes and biscuits and savoury items too - my hubby loves the cheese and ham croissants for lunch if we're out and about. And there's chocolates too what more could you ask for? Well, it would be nice if they stuck to their opening hours. Several times we made a special trip there, only to find the store was closed when it should be open - and there was no note in the window to explain the closure. That aside, if you're looking for fancy cakes and chocs in Abingdon then they are certainly worth a visit.

I've already got my eye on ones to recommend to any friends who look remotely like they might get married one day. Their speciality is big cakes, so wedding cakes and birthday cakes. They have some standard designs which can be modified to suit individual needs (such as the classic 3-tier wedding cake with various flowers on top and frosting round the edge), but their best ones are individual ones or unusual ones. They usually have some amazing chocolate ones on display, with huge chocolate roses or a heap of handmade chocolates piled on the top, but they swap displays round regularly so it's great fun looking at new arrivals, whether they're a snowboarding cake, or a wedding table cake with customised guests, or a couple in a jacuzzi. The absolute best thing is that you can watch the decorating in progress, as it's all done facing out by a window. It's really hypnotic watching someone craft a little marzipan bride or write a birthday message on a cake in piping icing. They also sell all manner of cake decorations and mini cakes for special occasions, as well as the best range I've ever seen of those cute little yellow chicks you get at Easter.
