This long-established pâtisserie-chocolatier is charming: attractive window boxes, prettily displayed cakes, jams and sweetmeats, and an array of handmade chocolates from France and Belgium. The simple menu lines up soups, sandwiches and ice-creams, and the staff are friendly (even doing impromptu magic for bored children). Hot chocolates are piled high with whipped cream, but the teas show less expertise: the cakes (lemon, carrot, chocolate, scones - no surprises there) proved dry and dense, and the chocolate chip cookies were inedibly heavy (even turned down by a sweet-toothed five-year-old). Long gone are the days when Londoners swooned for anything vaguely French, especially when there's better baking to be had in nearby East Dulwich and Herne Hill.
