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!

Patisserie Pascal is certainly a treat for the eyes. It's a little bit tucked away, so when you…read morecome across it you'll feel like you've found a treasure. 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.

We had tea and scones that were pleasant enough but the service was a little slow and I wasn't sure if the cakes had been made on the premises.

We ate it cold later on ...omg... it was Thanksgiving in every bite. Wished we would've known it was going to be so delicious! We would've ate it when it was still warm. The ladies at the bakery were delightful. Worth the walk over in the rain & puddles. Delicious is an understatement.

The croissant was a little disappointing, but the Easter biscuits tasted really fresh and the spice level was perfect. There can be a long line mid-morning but it's a lovely spot.

You can order online or just pop in to see what you fancy. They are the ideal thing to order for a large garden party or even a picnic. The milkshakes they produce here are so amazing! I am absolutely hooked on them, especially the chocolate button ones. If you fancy something savory then try one of their paninis, they taste just like, if not better than the ones you can get in Italy!

I can happily attest to the fact that this was not the case with the bagel purchased from Patisserie Valerie. I had sufficient salmon coverage and the counter lady warmed the bagel up just the right amount so it didn't become over chewy when cooled down. Sat in a table outside, but wasn't able to access the free wifi - guess its range is only limited to the diners eating inside?

I didn't think we needed more cake, but my friend was SURE that we needed to try at least one of their tasty treats!! The main problem is, everything looks so good- how can you choose!? We asked the staff who told us their seven (!) favourites. The best options included a peanut butter and jelly éclair, passionfruit cheese cake, chocolate ganache heaven...I could go on... They have good cake options!! Why you should visit: - It is a cute little shop - Their cakes are gorgeous - The ladies behind the counter are *so* sweet! In the end, they even gave us recommendations for decent bars...so we ended up with cake AND wine. It was a good Saturday.
