Oree Boulangeries Kensington

The sign in the cabinet was wrong on two items, which I questioned and the staff member promptly updated. No issue. The coffee was ok (not fantastic but ok) what really did stand out however was the customer service. 2 days ago another local business really let me down but Orēe in Kensington High Street restored my faith. The gentleman service this afternoon (finished his shift at 4.30- management please look up who this was). He was courteous, efficient friendly but most of all two things that fell outside his role he handled well 1. Compassion for a fellow human 2. A couple of ladies needed directions for transport, he could have fobbed them off but looked up and provided assistance. The staffing you have here is right. This area runs risk of being pretentious and impersonal but you have it right. Will be back for sure!!!

Need a coffee and something sweet or more substantial sandwich and or a good loaf of bread? A pleasant experience with a couple seats on the walkway to better enjoy the parade of people. The Madeline are large, lemony and perfect with an espresso. The chocolate chip cookie perfectly chewy in the middle and crispy along the edges.

First time visit today, nice and friendly staff. I got the impression that this cafe has loyal customers. Prices are reasonable for the area. Coffee was nice, the outside seating appears to be in demand from repeat customers. Interior decor is quite relaxed aiming towards distressed look which is quite cool. Double power sockets under the seats. I need to do another visit as I wanted to give 5 stars, however, the pastries we ordered today didn't hit the mark for freshness. Definitely worth another visit.
