La croisée

The choux pastry here is filled with cream so generously that there is barely any space left inside. Visitors have singled out the custard flavour. The pastry itself is on the thicker side, and some would have preferred a crisper texture, while others praised the quantity and taste of the cream. Even a single choux pastry can leave different impressions, depending on whether the pastry or its filling is what appeals most.

Another eye-catching choice is a cake inspired by Katsushika Hokusai. One customer who bought Rouge, modelled on the Red Fuji, described the fruit as prominent and the cake itself as delicious. Its striking shape also makes it an appealing option to take as a gift. Mont Blanc draws its own fans: visitors have described its cream as light and soft, and said the fragrance of brandy paired well with coffee. It is worth considering if you are looking for a cake to enjoy alongside a cup.

Everything is chosen at the counter and taken away; there is no dine-in service or delivery. Some reviews report that the selection was limited by the afternoon, so go earlier if you would like to choose from several cakes. Payment is cash only.
