DD had chocolate and raspberry and said the raspberry was the best. The macarons were very soft and fresh. I love pistachio because it is not overly sweet. Service: quick and efficient. Ambiance: we entered the door just for the macarons but I believe there was another door to eat at their cafe.

Not the friendliest staff, kinda rude actually…read more Though the macarons looked delicious, it appears that is their main seller. They do not have many other French goodies, and they especially do NOT have caneles.

I recently ordered a cake from Patisserie Valerie on 20th November for a colleague's birthday…read morecelebration on Tuesday, 26th November. Before placing the order, I attempted to call them to confirm an estimated delivery time but couldn't get through. Despite this, I placed the order knowing they don't deliver on Mondays. Today (21st November), I called again to try and confirm the delivery time, only to be told it's handled by DPD, and they couldn't provide any specifics. Frustrated, I requested a refund since I couldn't rely on their vague process. Shockingly, I was told I could only receive 50% of my money back because it wasn't within their two-week refund policy - a policy that's literally impossible to follow when I placed the order just the day before! I asked to speak to a manager (Jen) to see if an exception could be made under the circumstances, but of course, she was "unavailable" - how convenient. This entire experience has been appalling. From the lack of clarity on delivery, to the inflexible refund policy, to the unhelpful customer service, Patisserie Valerie has been a complete letdown. I will not be ordering from them again and cannot recommend their service to anyone. Avoid the hassle and take your business elsewhere. A very disappointed customer. Rating: (if I could give zero stars, I would).

First time having tea time ever, and what a perfect place to have it! We were denied at another…read moresecret tea spot as they were full, but glad we came upon this place! We were seated in the back, and asked for a tea menu. Two separate pots of teas, ranging from Earl Grey to English Breakfast Tea, we both went with Earl Grey. Milk and sugar given. We thought the 14 pound/per person set menu only allowed us to pick one thing from each menu, but in fact, they give you 2 of everything! Bottom tier was the finger sandwiches, ranging from smoked salmon to cucumber sandwiches, 10 in total for 2. Yum! Smoked salmon was my favorite! Then onto the scones, which they give you 2 plain and 2 fruit ones with jam and clotted cream. So I normally don't like scones since they're hard and dry, but these are fluffier and lighter like biscuits. The clotted cream is AMAZING. It's supposed to be like a butter spread, but almost like a light cream cheese, but better. So delicious. Smear that stuff all over the scones and add some raspberry jam. Definitley the winner of the food here. Lastly were desserts which we tried one bite of, ranging from carrot cake to chocolate eclairs. These were just so-so, especially after the wonderful clotted cream. I will probably dream about this stuff until I have it again.

Thanks to Yelp, I found the branch of Konditor and Cook bakery closest to the theatre. The entire staff was very helpful over the telephone and via email as well as live chat. They delivered an elaborately decorated Curly-Whirly cake to the Globe right on time. My daughter and the other members of her troupe all agreed it was one of the best tasting cakes they'd experienced I am looking forward to visiting the store next month when we visit our daughter in London. The only reason I didn't give it five stars is because it was somewhat pricey with dollars vs. pounds. I would recommend this bakery for any American who has someone overseas in London and needs a cake for a special occasion.

I like this place because of their variety of pastries and they are all fairly priced. Anything from salty to sweet is available. They have all the standard espresso drinks and complimentary still water. I order the sausage roll along with a large cup of latte. Everything can be reheated in the oven if desired. Within 5 minutes my order was delivered. The latte art was poorly constructed but that wasn't a big deal for me. I'll take a good tasting cup of latte over a bad cup with a beautifully etched leaf on it any day of the week. Free wifi is another plus especially for a tourist without a international SIM card. Get yourself a pastry or coffee and Facebook all you want.
