Summary
A “Soho institution that should be experienced” – this French teahouse (est 1871) offers “wondrous pâtisserie and very good tea (in teapots) in the most charming, if somewhat ramshackle, surroundings”. It’s a “window on Soho”, so “just sit with a delicious cake and watch the world go by”.
Summary
“Still unique” – this ‘Patisserie Francaise’ in Soho, opened in 1871, and, run (slightly “eccentrically”) by sisters Michelle and Tania Wade since the late 1980s, seems ever-more precious in a world of ubiquitous Starbucks and Costa Coffees. “I’m always a bit shocked at the prices, but the quality is top notch”, and it’s “surprisingly good for quiet conversation”.
Summary
This “unique” Soho treasure opened over 100 years before the current tea/coffee house craze (est 1871), and “there’s nothing else like it”. It’s “cramped and not cheap, but serves authentic French pastries and real tea” – and “the best goodies are still cooked on the premises”.
Summary
“So oblivious of trends and fashions”; “there’s nowhere else like” this “eccentric” Soho treasure (est 1871) – “just a great place to sit for a really good, big cup of black coffee and a croissant or cake”.
