La Barantine

It’s a nice cozy cafe right next to my work place which is a win for me! I had a take out for a hot chocolate and oat milk latte they both were amazing and price is reasonable as well. I asked for a customisation for my drink and the barista made it perfectly! Staff and ambience 5/5. Previously had their fruit tart which tasted great as well.

We had coffees and pastries sitting in, the service was good, every person working seemed to be focused on providing great customer experience which was refreshing for my parents who were visiting from France... We then had French patisseries to take away. They were good but the eclairs tasted like they were from the day before. The baguettes were very authentic. We didn't try the sandwiches but if they are made with the same bread then they should be pretty awesome as the fillings looked amazing.

You can find great authentic French pastry here ! Although I am not French, but as a foodie with high expectations, their quiche is really delicious, smooth custard with aromatic and warm pastry. I still prefer English scone than theirs tho, they don’t serve clotted cream 🤣 The coffee could be better, but it is compensated by the great pastry and macaroons. Do drop by this lovely place when you are nearby.

Absolutely wonderful patisserie in Bruntsfield. I had visited years ago when I lived in the area, and was delighted to return on a recent trip. The pastries are fantastic, both in appearance and taste, and staff are very friendly too. As we were finishing up our food, we were even offered complimentary macarons, which were superb. Highly recommended!
