This little cafe is a dream. From its gorgeously cute fit out to the HUGE variety of cabinet…read moredelights, it is the perfect spot to sit and soak in the hustle and bustle of the atmosphere and treat yourself. With delicious staff, who always welcome you with a smile and an exciting menu that puts the Tartan Rose spin on old classics, the only wrong decision you can make here is to not go early enough and miss out. This places cabinet sells out fast ... and if you have ever tried to get Tartan Rose Cake at the market or a wedding you know what I mean, it moves like it has legs ... so go EARLY to ensure you get the whole selection, or not if making choices is not your strong suit, either way, it will be well worth the effort. Did I mention how good the coffee was and the fresh flowers on all the tables?? The only thing I love more than indulging in the mouthwatering treats and chatting with the delightful staff is knowing that by doing so I am supporting a local small business in its first year of operation and boy, what these guys have done in a year is incredible. Keep up the amazing work Tartan Rose, let everyone eat cake xox

I was abroad for several months already, and I was badly homesick. Every single French person would tell you the same thing: what they really miss when they're abroad is French food and especially French bread and bakery. (also saucisson, and cheese) One day, some friends of mine showed me this very special place. I was skeptical first, because you can't find true real French bakeries abroad easily. Usually you find croissants which don't taste like croissants in France T___T! I'm not saying there'nt good, just saying that they taste different. But when I came closer I could see the little sticker on the door "Artisan boulanger". Startled I yelled :"no way!!! It's a real French bakery!!" A huge smile on my face, I ordered croissants, pies, Florentins comme à la maison! They taste just like the ones I could buy in France. Such a good quality, such a delight! (*o*) I deeply recommend this place for all those who like French food or for those who just want to have a little taste of France.

They have a very extensive selection of items so study the menu carefully before approaching the counter as to not hold up the very long line that tends to build out the door. They also offer free sparkling water. On our 2nd visit I discovered they had Belgian Thick Hot Chocolate which is very similar to the ones we always order at Scopa on Cuba Street in Wellington except they don't offer the adult version. Their freshly baked sour dough bread was excellent as well. Overall an excellent cafe, great atmosphere, large portions and excellent customer service. We will be back.
