I am mad crazy about visiting bakeries for tea and cake. I'll describe it as a hobby, if that…read moredoesn't make me sound like an absolute glutton. Anyway, my beady eyes spied this place on my way into Cheltenham when I was visiting for a wedding. The following day I scuttled out of the torrential rain for a cosy seat and some tea and cake. Disappointment number 1: seats are uncomfy and the space isn't very cosy at all This was pretty much immediately forgiven when I saw the gorgeous display of cakes and cupcakes and pastries and mini loaves and meringues and cookies. Yuuum! I was so excited! And indecisive! Admittedly to the point of annoyance, to which the staff did nothing to disguise. Settled on a red velvet cupcake for me and a strawberry cupcake for my boyfriend. Tea for him, macchiato for me because I needed a serious wake up after wedding craziness. Disappointment number 2: macchiato was not the teeny tiny espresso sized coffee it should be, but half a big cupful. Disappointment number 3: my red velvet cake was a) not red, but brown and b) stale. I didn't finish it. That's A Big Deal. Dec's strawberry cupcake had a lovely flavour but the fresh strawberry through the cake had made the sponge gloopy. Gutted. They sell nice cake stands and sweets and crockery if you're looking for a cute gift, which I was and I did purchase and the recipients were pleased.

But the main attraction for many will be the Butterfly Bakery-esque cupcakes that are lined up in a display cabinet. What's not to like?! I have to say that I was tempted away from the cupcakes by an individually baked lemon meringue pie. Oh deary me, it was the last one available but if there were more I would have smashed through a second it was that lovely. Chewy, just browning meringue on top of a creamy, sweet and very lemony base made to make your mouth water! The girlfriend went for Banana Cake which was moist and bananery - made of yum. We were impressed by the decor, which was modern, clean and functional. No cozy seats though, disappointingly, just tables for 2 or 4 and a raised bar along the window. Like I said, a cracking addition to an already well-serviced area of town where competition is stiff. Its uniqueness will, I'm certain, continue to attract people with kids, 'soccer mom' types and those with girlfriends with a weird cupcake fetish...

Thankfully someone realised this and has helped us out. La Parisienne is the real deal, no wonder as it is a French family run bakery.
