This place has really delicious, uniquely flavoured French macarons and pastries. Some of the flavours today included salted peanut butter, earl grey and milk chocolate, banana crunch and cookies and cream. I'll definitely be coming back. read more

I can't visit Sydney without coming here. I've been to different Laduree locations around the…read moreworld. This one is located on the third floor of Westfield right by the escalators in the high-end shops wing. They have a small cafe area. They have have candles, perfumes, books, bags and of course, the perfect macarons. I picked up a box of macarons in my favorite flavors + the new flavors: lime basil, chocolate coconut marshmallow and chocolate Peru (which replaced chocolate Madagascar). They're about 4AUD a piece. For Laduree macarons, it doesn't even matter. Perfect shell, great fillings and flavors.

I decided to go in and check it out and saw they had unique flavours, so I decided to get three flavours to try. Got the unicorn, which is just vanilla, only because I got this for someone, so of course I didn't get to taste this one. Mango, Passionfruit & Macadamia - good, but I tasted more macadamia than mango and passionfruit. Pandan & Coconut Custard - thought it was great they offered this Vietnamese flavour and thought this was good as well. I wish they offered more flavours, but I would say I still prefer Laduree passionfruit more because I actually could taste it.

Offering the usual selections of bread, Zumbarons, Zonuts, and cakes as the rest of the chain. A selection of Zumbarons were chosen as it was bought as a gift for friends and easy to transport in their handy boxes. Service was a bit so so. As it was a slow time and not much passing trade and since we were taking a bit of time deciding on what flavours to get, the original server didn't end up serving us and went somewhere else to start sweeping. The other server eventually came over after we waved her down.

The passion fruit seeds (at least that's what I hope it was) cut his soft palate, and he was suddenly in so much pain. I checked his mouth and there was a huge 'blood bag'. We rushed to the Macquarie Uni GP and was told that he had developed oral hematoma from the food that he just ate. He had to be on liquid diet for 48 hours, and though the condition is not life threatening, hewas in constant pain for a week. I would give them a zero star if I could. And their PR response to the whole issue was just appalling.

Great custom made cakes, cupcakes and bites. A nice location to take the time to sit for a bite and a coffee. Menu also extends to Toasties, bagels & croissants. Friendly staff & service.

What a wonderful service and friendly staff will be back for sure Thank you Kye for the great service
I've had this place bookmarked for years. Maybe I'll try their dessert tasting menu someday, but…read morejust the regular desserts I tried were nothing spectacular. And on a late weekday afternoon, they were sold out of the drinks that caught my eye. The desserts are fine, but some of the prices are so expensive that I don't feel like I'd miss out on much if I didn't get them. The average price seemed to be $28 for a dessert smaller than the size of my palm. While some of the flavors were more unique, based on the ones I tried, they weren't actually good combinations or just blended together so that you might as well be eating one flavor.

After eating dinner somewhere else, my friend and I stopped at Koi for dessert. We go there only 30 min before close, so there weren't a lot of desserts left. We tried two of them - a pandan cake and a mango dessert. They were both beautiful looking, but don't recall being blown away by the taste. And it was very expensive. I thought to myself that it was not what I hoped. But I'll give the benefit of the doubt that maybe at the end of the night all they have the less popular desserts left. Next time I'm there, I'll give it another shot.

Stopped here and ordered the Waffle Benedict and ohhmyy... it was the best waffle Benedict I had. The waffle got a soft crunch and not sweet but savory taste. The portions was a good size.

The Coffee Mocha was delicious though adding an extra shot of espresso to it made it much better than original mocha. The chocolate was overpowering the coffee without that extra shot. No complaints there because I like hot chocolate too, just wanted more on the coffee side. Place was nice and clean and the service was good. Definitely recommend it.

You should always save room for dessert, but our full bellies where not going to stop us from trying this. It was a quiet night, which was convenient for us as there is a good section to choose from, and we both like to take our time when making important and life changing decisions, like which two cookies to choose and which ice cream to place between them. Very sweet and rich to the last bite, obviously. The chewy biscuit, when bitten down upon, forced the ice cream to be squished out of the sides. So be prepared and have an entire tissue box at your disposal. Scrummy and yummy. Don't miss out.

Overall it's a tiny place but there are plenty of spots outside to sit and enjoy your food and coffee. I ordered the ham and cheese croissant and a latte. The croissant was delicious, a perfect breakfast. The coffee was hot and perfect on a chilly morning and had just the right amount of milk. It was so good I ordered one to go, with an almond croissant. It was the best decision made on this trip. The almond croissant was out of this world, maybe it was the powdered sugar, or maybe it was the fact it's rum dipped. Either way it was amazing and will be my new breakfast go-to. Don't miss out!

We were kept well updated though. They were also kind enough to bring us little chocolates and hand made truffles while we lined up.

The panini was alright, had a little too much bread action going...the same can be somewhat said for the shake. The shake itself was great, the tella ball was just OK...didn't taste much like a doughnut and the nutella/bread ratio was off, unless you were eating straight from the middle. All in all, diabeetus.
