This French patisserie in the far east of Camberwell has been on the radar for a while and I was pleased to get there at 7.45am this morning to see the freshly baked batch in the top shelf of their refrigerated cabinet. At $5.80 the price is a bit steep, though typical for a French style bakery in the suburbs. The mille-feuille styled slice looked the part but missed the mark with flavour. It's pastry was the hero; three layers of crumbly, buttery flakiness, but sadly the creme patissiere lacked real destinction and was sparsely applied. I thought the decorative, silky icing might add some vanilla to the mix, but again I was left wanting. Mrs B also applied herself well to the two eclairs and especially appreciated the espresso shot that was delivered for her efforts!
