Tasty fresh brioche buns however I noticed a few flies(bluebottles) flying around the pastries which should ideally be covered over. It has put me off going back to be honest. I did mention this but so far nothing as been done.

Updated to add: cramiques are good for a day post-baking and ship wonderfully to lucky loved ones abroad! Also: those cramiques are delicious and I cannot conceive of any carbohydrate more perfectly crafted

Love love this place, little fluffy coated meringues. The best thing is the view of the kitchen right in front of your eyes. Everything is made fresh and boxed, simply amazing.

What a pleasant surprise to find this very Parisian place in the heart of South Kensington. A boutique bakery specializing in Brioche buns and Cramiques –a meringue and whipped cream delicacy. They are delightful and deliciously indulgent. The Brioche buns come in small and large sizes and a choice of plain, sugar, raisin and chocolate chip. All are soft and airy and a wonderful treat with coffee or on their own. But the ‘piece de resistance’ are the Cramiques. Also in a variety of flavours from chocolate to cherry to hazelnut. The mini ones are addictive as you can just pop them in your mouth. The larger variety make great dinner party cakes as they look very special and grand. I did not walk out empty handed that is for sure, and I dare anyone to try! An appealing shop of elegant goodies.

A proper bakery! One where you can see into the actual kitchen which actually take up most of the space. And where the counter is actually less of a sales counter than a display of work in progress with assistants covering cakes in chocolate shavings. I discovered this weird little place on a walk down the Old Brompton Road the other day and was intrigued by the selection of bread rolls in the window. They are the other of the two main items on sale here — «cramiques» are sweet dense breakfast breads which remind me of Sunday morning treats growing up in Germany. The other are the«Merveilleux» which are available in celebration and individual cake sizes as well as mini mouthfulls. I didn’t actually try one as they look terribly sweet — a bit of internet research revealed that they are made of meringue and a variety of cream fillings. There are a couple of high tables and bar stools, so you can enjoy your treats with a cup coffee.
