Being the first high-street café in the UK to bring us French patisserie, you can be sure the group knows what it’s doing. Although you may know Patisserie Valerie as the place that sells beautiful cake slices, as advertised in its window, they all serve savoury food all the way from breakfast to early evening.
On the menu, you can expect to find all-day brunch favourites such as smashed avo, eggs benny and royal. There are also the French classics such as the croque monsieur and grilled croissants with a choice of fillings – great for breakfast, but also totally acceptable to be eaten at any time of the day. The sandwich and salad selection are also great for lunch-time cravings.
The most important thing on the menu (as we’re sure you’re aware) are the cakes. From its five classic cakes, which include strawberry, double chocolate, black forest gateau, mille-feuille, and baked cheesecake, to its celebration cakes, you’re bound to find something to indulge in.
It even makes cakes to order, so you can personalise each cake to your exact taste and preference, whether it be a wedding cake for 100 people or a small birthday cake for eight. All ready within a few days to collect in-store. In a rush? They have pre-made celebration cakes you can pick up on the day too – talk about life saving.
Afternoon tea is also available if you have a little bit of time to spend. Featuring a selection of sandwiches, quiche, miniature patisserie and, of course, cream tea at a reasonable price, why not give this classic British tradition a go at Patisserie Valerie?
When you think of French patisserie, it can often be seen as too fancy or expensive. At Patisserie Valerie, these stereotypes are crushed and made accessible for everyone.
