Chouquette

Dropped by last Sep on a whim after watching a movie across the road. We wandered in just past noon and found stock level on the low side (only really one half-filled cabinet) though I have no idea what’s typical. In any case we selected: * almond croissant (croissant aux amandes), $6.80 * croissant suisse, $5.50 - croissant dough, custard, chocolate chips * butter knot, $3.50 - knot of caramelised croissant dough The suisse was more wifey’s choice, and we picked the butter knot for the boy, whereas I had my eyes on the almond croissant. I first tried this about a month prior when a group of friends got together to try a selection of almond croissants from different bakeries. It came in a close 3rd out of the 5 our group tested and a second tasting has confirmed that ranking in my mind - not the best/our favourite, but not a bad option particularly if it's your local. - - - - - Edit/response to owner: yes the actual visit was 5 months ago. The vast majority of my reviews are posted after the fact - some are later than others, and will usually go on IG first (up to a few weeks behind real time depending on my backlog), with Google reviews to follow at some later time (could be the same day as IG, or sometimes much later / when I get around to it). Apologies for the confusion and I have updated the above to indicate the visit was from Sep 2021.

I popped in the other day for a loaf of wholemeal sourdough and it was delicious! Brought fiancé today to sit down and we had a wonderful time. Croissants are amazing, and the mille-feuille was just right - not overpoweringly sweet. Coffee was great too. Owner is super friendly and despite how busy it can get you really get a welcoming, really authentic feel when you sit in. We're planning on a croquembouche for our wedding and were beyond delighted to see one through the kitchen window having just been made. Brilliant. Definitely recommend. This will be a regular haunt for us now.

Ah what a find! We were on a little hunt for some light brekkie spots and thank Google for bringing this up. We had 2 items each - husband got the pain aux raisin + classique baguette, and I got the chicken&leek pie + strawberry tart. Despite the size it appears like on these pictures, all items were pretty light eats, just perfect on a Saturday morning. Quick service and amazing smiles from all the staff, and we were just beyond happy with the whole experience. A must-try if you're after some French bites/brekkie 🙂
