This charming cottage-inspired cafe is home to freshly baked pastries and cakes. Its flaky and buttery croissants are a favourite among customers. Try the Croissant Aux Amandes, a classic creation topped with powdered sugar and sliced almonds. Or, go for the savoury sandwich-style option with the ham and cheese croissant. Those who enjoy tarts can dig into the lemon meringue tart layered with zesty lemon curd and almond sponge and decorated with lemon whipped ganache. Wash these tantalising treats down with a cup of coffee or tea.
