Ganache Patisserie

This must be the best-kept secret in the pastry scene. I've never seen it mentioned on any of those top cake or pastry lists, but it has been my favorite spot on the North Shore for special occasion treats for many years. As for the location, unless you live nearby, it’s a bit out of the way (which is probably a good thing for me; otherwise, I'd be here all the time). The cakes are wonderful—nothing overly fancy or unusual, but they offer solid varieties with delightful twists. The quality is consistently high; I've yet to encounter a disappointment. The service is friendly as well. The best part is the prices are very reasonable. I was able to get two individual cakes and an eclair for unde...

We got two cakes: macadamchoco and le tout fraise. Both were really great options to satisfy different tastes.<br/ <br/ I prefer more indulgent desserts so I really enjoyed the chocolate one. I loved the mix of nutty flavours and textures. The crunchy prailine base tasted incredible with the smooth chocolate mousse. The glaze was so shiny and the touch of gold shimmer was beautiful. <br/ <br/ The strawberry is great if you like lighter cakes. Delicious jam sandwiched by vanilla sponge cake. Wasn't too sweet and the fresh strawberry toppings was a nice touch.

I stumbled across this place looking for a cake shop to take a cake to a friends place. I was very impressed by a special white chocolate cake that I took away as were my friends, but more than that I was delighted to receive 2 macaroons for free at closing time from the lovely owner, who I'd been telling about my few years living in France. I was equally delighted when they touched my lips, because there are many places who tout they have the best macaroons, but these were simply the best I have had in Sydney hands down.

Didier Sockeel, formerly from La Renaissance, is the man behind this French patisserie in North Shore area.. His croissant is always sold out before noon everyday and probably the closest thing to a traditional almond croissant I've ever found (Originally it's a way to sell some left-over from the day before).. It's soft and had that cakey core with a slight crispiness on the outer top.. The frangipane filling was intense, abundant and moist where it thoroughly greased the takeaway paper bag.. <br/ <br/ Reserva una mesa ahora

Coming from someone who ordinarily doesn't really like to eat cake (unless it's a $4 Coles mudcake or a $90 opera cake), or will be absolutely content with a sliver; this cake is wow. It was rich, but not so rich that you're put off from eating it altogether. In fact, it's rich to the extent that you convince yourselves that it's not very rich, so you go for another mouthful but lo and behold you realise it was indeed pretty rich do you follow what I mean?

The cakes here are fantastic! Unfortunately, they melted quite quickly, but the flavors are truly delightful because they are made with real fruits. The raspberry flavor was a bit too sour, overpowering the sweetness of the sponge cake. However, I highly recommend this place to anyone who loves cake—it's a must-try! And for those who claim they don't like cake, I have to ask: really?!

I've been coming here regularly for almost 10 years. I think this is the best French bakery in Sydney for pastry and French baguette.The vienoisserie is of exceptional quality (croissant, pain au chocolat, snail, almond croissant) and I'm fairly sure made from all butter pastry.The coffee has improved significantly in the last few years.

I had a sneaky little chocolate cake before lunch, and I must say, the display cabinet here is fantastic—it was tough to choose what to try first! We ended up getting the cake, a friand, and a juice for just $12. Incredible value, and I would definitely recommend it! Reserva una mesa ahora

Local Patisserie. I live in the area so frequent this gem. Almond croissants are amazing, as are most of their cakes. Ask the staff what is best- they are very helpful. Bread sells out very quickly though, so get in early. Good coffee too :

The best baguettes and croissants in town.<br/ Having breakfast here is such a delight.<br/ Get in early or you won't have any breads to buy.<br/ <br/ Although the main lady serving can look quite grumpy and arrogant she is quite nice!
