I felt spoiled for choice but I drove there knowing I MUST have the French onion soup and it was fabulous. Then I took the crepes with pear and maple syrup - Yum!!

Provincial French inspired decor with in a double level barn. Book ahead as it's popular and you might find yourself without a table. I normally have two crepes. One savoury and then one sweet. It's a bit of a drive down the A38 and if you are going from Birmingham you will have to go up to the next island and double back on yourself. How am I the only yelper to have reviews this? You really must try it! Oh and there was very little in the way of a phone signal! So it's a challenge to check in.

Aubrey's creperie is an adorable little cafe tucked away in the west arcade, opposite an awesome…read moresecond hand book shop. The feel of the place is european yet homely, with mismatching chairs, bare brick walls, outside seating and cute traditional china for their delicious teas. On our most recent visit, I had a "zesty orange" crepe - that's caramelised banana in an orange and cardamom sauce, topped with mascapone cheese - and it was absolutely delicious. My partner had caramelised apples with cinnamon, sugar, creme fraiche and honey on her crepe, and wouldn't stop raving about it. They also do great savory crepes and the entries on the specials blackboard are always worth a try! Considering it's a crepe, and probably not a substitute for a meal, Aubrey's is not inexpensive. It is, however, a delightful and delicious experience, and the staff are fantastic too.

It's crepe, with chocolate and strawberries, nothing can beat it…read more You smell the store before you even see it. The chocolate scent really made me hungry. The line can get long sometimes, especially during the weekends. I hope the wait could be shorter, but honestly there is nothing the staff can do either to speed it up.

We found this city centre creperie by accident, not design, in the hunt for a good savoury lunch…read more The menu looked perfect and all three of us agreed instantly to go in. It's been a heck of a long time since we were last in Chester. In fact, there was no such place as Starbucks or Costa and a Frappuccino wasn't even in the language it's that far back. Starbucks, a second wave coffee provider, was only venturing into Canada when we were last there. Creperies too were places you'd find only in Brittany and Normandy. The great British public would have eschewed, nay nay, pooh - poohed the very thought way back when. But all change; doncha just love it that the only constant is change? Having enjoyed many a good savoury and sweet crepe - doesn't everybody enjoy a good crepe? - in Brittany and Normandy with calvados and crisp, light, sweet cidré we knew done right it would be tasty. So I had the crisp bacon & maple syrup crepe (just over £5) and being moi (well we must nod to the French) I had only one question. Is it maple syrup or that artificial flavoured sugar rubbish pretending to be maple syrup. The reply was instant and welcome: the real Mc Coy. Great. I did have a moment of weakness mind as there was a goat cheese choice but I stuck with bacon. My companions chose an all day breakfast crepe and a Mexican chicken crepe respectively (just over £7 each). We all had cappuccinos (large at under £3 each) and Welsh sparkling water (£1.8), none of yer Perrier or Badoit here, just right too. The service was darn good. The food was tasty, light and perfect - ooh la la - as our French cousins might say. The coffee was alright and more third wave but I'd prefer a much more punchy coffee, but disappointment aside I'll leave it five star for the great service and tasty food. It might even take us back to Chester one day, but I did notice a divine looking (and smelling) Yorkshire pudding sandwich shop, so it might be there next time - now you certainly won't find one of those in Normandy or Brittany, vive la difference.

My friend tried the savoury chicken crepe which he said was a little tasteless and i would have liked it a little more crisp, there was also a pathetic rotten looking iceberg lettuce on the side which looked rather unpleasant and i didn't eat. But the contents of the crepe was nice. The shop is very very big, maybe even too big. There is a small kids play area which is good to stop small children running around the shop for fun! But it can be full of kids and mums which is annoying if you want some peace and quiet. It was fairly clean, but not to my standard of clean. We were given a knife, fork and spoon held together with damp napkins, which looked cheap and nasty. I had also ordered a beetroot smoothie and was repeatedly asked if i wanted it made with frozen yogurt or soft serve. I wasn't sure what soft serve was so i asked the waiter to explain himself and he just kept saying its soft serve. i had no idea what it was. Then my friend pointed out its like a Mr Whippy van style ice -cream. Why couldn't he just say that? So i chose frozen yogurt. The smoothie was nice but i would prefer to have it with our any frozen yogurt or soft serve. There is a lot of choice with savoury options, a small selection of cakes, lots of different toppings for the pancakes, crepes and waffles. Price wise i think its very expensive. We had 1 Crepe, a small black coffee and smoothie for £14.00. Even for Harborne that is slightly too high, especially when this is aimed more at parents with children. I would return if I got a craving but I wouldn't rush back. Overall what I had was nothing special.

Don't get me…read morewrong, I like a treat every now and then, but I don't get the sweats if I haven't eaten chocolate in a few hours or crave sugar every hour to keep me buzzing... However, I do have a dark secret and that is my ice cream addiction. I can't put a finger on when it started, but just the sight of ice cream makes me turn into a hyper child pulling on my dad's sleeve to persuade him to buy me a Feast or a Mr Whippy. As soon as I saw the first photos of Paradice being added to Yelp, that was it - I HAD to go. A trip to Harborne for work was planned and I knew a trip to the Gelateria had to be a part of the day. After doing some work in Boston Tea Party in the morning, an ice cream was just what the Doctor ordered after my massive lunch as an afternoon pick-me-up. The venue is just up from the Junction and has entrances on both sides (both Vivian and High Street) and is bright, airy and large. One side has a small children's soft play area (to keep the kids busy) and the other has a selection of booths and chairs for visiting groups. After a long look at the selection (which is rather generous to say the least), I opted to go for the (now) legendary "Hello Kitty" mixed with cola millions flavour in a medium tub (£3.40). The gelato is lovely. Light, fluffy and packed full of flavour - it dances on the palate (even when it's long gone). I didn't feel aggrieved at the price for two scoops at all (and if I had, had more of an appetite might have opted for 3). The staff were friendly and helpful from the moment I walked in. I was offered tasters of different flavours to try before I chose and you could sense that they love their jobs (which is important, especially in the service industry). I will definitely be back to try more of their selection. I believe their Ferrero Rocher flavour is already calling me...

Both the food and the service are very inconsistent. It is a shame, as I think this place has great potential, however the standard has really gone downhill on my last few visits. It's very continental European, and the staff all speak broken English and have that miserable, Eastern European, couldn't care less attitude toward customer service. You can expect to wait in a long line to order your food, then sit at an uncomfortable table which hasn't been cleaned or cleared of dirty plates. Then expect a long wait for the incorrect order to arrive at your messy table. I think the success of this cafe is propped up by the large population on Eastern Europeans in Northampton. The poor level of customer service just wouldn't cut it otherwise.
