About this place
One diner’s account of the melon parfait describes red- and green-fleshed melon served with strawberries and blueberries. As they ate, layers of whipped cream, ice cream, sponge, and custard came into view, with more melon inside. Even alongside the cream and ice cream, the fruit’s sweetness came through clearly, making this a dessert to enjoy one layer at a time. Another diner, who ordered a strawberry parfait on a different day, praised the balance of sweetness and strawberry tartness and found the portion too large to finish alone. A cake or tart may suit a solo treat, while a parfait is worth considering as something to share.
The fruit-topped assorted tart pairs fragrant, moist almond pastry with whipped cream that leaves a light finish. Strawberry options include a tart that highlights the nuttiness of almond cream, as well as versions with a cocoa pastry shell. The strawberry mont blanc tart layers custard, raspberry jam, sponge, and strawberry cream. One diner enjoyed it alongside a chocolate cake and hot coffee, and wrote that they were able to take their time. Coffee and hot café latte are available, making a cake and a warm drink an easy way to pause.
You can eat in at the café or order takeaway. Gift assortments of baked sweets may include strawberry financiers, three kinds of madeleine, sablés, and florentines, among other treats—a useful range to browse after enjoying a fruit dessert or when choosing a small gift. Availability varies with the season and supply, so check with the shop if you have a particular item in mind.
