My go-to for the best eclairs in the city. Rich and creamy, not overwhelmingly sweet. They carry 2 flavors - chocolate and coffee - both are a non-negotiable after an MCA visit. Their baguette sandwiches are worth a shout, especially the goats cheese and capsicum. It gets busy inside, so best is to get takeaway and enjoy it in the park or embankment nearby. The packaging for eclairs, macarons and other cakes is cute and very presentable for a sweet gift 💝

STOP! If you are trying to find the best coffee in the rocks/circular Quay area, aren't you lucky you found this place. I work in the area, I have tried several cafes and now I do not go anywhere else. The coffee is perfect from morning to afternoon, I know because I'm a twice a day kind of guy. It's the perfect strength bean too, the flavour is rich you feel the caffeine but not so much to have anxiety and jitters. The staff are incredible too, always with a smile, and looking to brighten your day with their infectious good mood. The biggest mistake I made was tasting their food, now I want to try everything they have... It is delicious! Whether it's a sweet treat, a savoury snack, or a sandwich for lunch, they've got you taken care of. I couldn't recommend highly enough!

A lovely French cafe with a charming backyard that feels just like a cozy home garden. The coffee is excellent, and the pastries are freshly made in-house and absolutely delicious.

Was strolling along near the cruise ship terminals and stumbled on this gem. I came in 30 minutes after opening and they were still stocking up on their goodies. Everything I got was delicious. The salmon quiche egg texture was perfect. The cruffin had a nice custard with a crunch to it. The ham and cheese croissant was heavenly. I would have ordered everything on display if I could.

The shop has outdoor seatings at the front and back. I’ve ordered cakes from this patisserie a few times now, and they never disappoint. Their cakes are not only beautifully presented but also taste amazing—light, rich, and full of flavor. It’s no surprise they’re well known and loved by many. Each visit has been a great experience with friendly service and a lovely display of pastries and sweets. It's definitely one of my go-to places for special occasions or just a sweet treat. Street parking is expensive.
