Delicious plum danish that got better with every bite. I only wish I had more time in Takapuna to try more of their selection, I am certain everything would be good. Until next time!

Excellent variety of delightful cabinet food at very reasonable prices. My chicken filo was bursting with nice chicken and only cost $5.00. Good strong coffee. French atmosphere with French flair. Very popular, sometimes seating is limited.

Excellent food! Tastes exactly like the food in France! Very cute bakery and I always come here for my weekly loaf of bread. Not much seating though so be prepared to take away. There was some extra seating towards the back but on a rainy day the roof above that area is super loud. Also, as with the rest of Takapuna, there is not much parking, so you will need to walk at least a short distance to get here
