Reviews
Bummer that the Kouign Amann was sold out! Instead I had a Pistachio Croissant and the Everything Croissant – an adaptation of the Everything Bagel. The former had creamy and nutty filing surrounded by flaky pastry and a generous sprinkle of chopped pistachio nuts on top. The latter was a lighter version than the bagel but had all the bold flavours. Neither could be described as delicately balanced but were pretty good.
Sad on missing the Kouign Amann, I returned a second week. This time I was in luck and there was also a Fall Kouign Amann, so I took both for contrast.
The Kouign Amann sat in a pool of syrup? This was truly overpowering for me. The Fall Kouign Amann had dried fruits, but unfortunately by then I was too overwhelmed by the Kouign Amann to appreciate this one – it was just more sugary sweetness.
The rustic decor is warm and tasteful, which I really liked, but not the sound of the chairs screeching across concrete floors. Service was brief but sufficient. Conclusion: I’m still searching for that elusive bakery with delecate balance of flavours in this city.
Unfortunately, the service was not very good. The staff seemed a bit inattentive, and overall the operation didn’t feel particularly well organized. The seating area was also quite cramped, which made the visit a little less comfortable.
Despite these drawbacks, the café is still highly recommended. The excellent quality of the food and the wide variety of options make it well worth a visit.
That said, this store is no longer what it used to be.
This morning I was in an extreme rush for a meeting and stopped in to pick up my prepaid online order (online pickup is supposed to be quick and smooth). After I gave my name and explained what I ordered, the woman who appeared to be the owner/manager insisted—repeatedly and coldly—that I show the order details on my phone. I couldn’t pull it up immediately, and I questioned why it was necessary given I was clearly there for my own order and am a frequent customer. Her response, with an unfriendly attitude, was simply: “I just need to see it.” No courtesy, no empathy—just attitude. I eventually found the confirmation and showed it, but the interaction felt unnecessarily tense and humiliating.
To make things worse, my yogurt order was handed to me without spoons/utensils, even though I requested utensils in the order. How exactly am I supposed to eat yogurt on the go—use my hands?
Pitchoun’s prices are higher than other bakeries nearby. I’m willing to pay a premium when the experience is warm and professional. Today it was the opposite. I highly recommend not going unless you want to risk getting irritated by the lady owner’s attitude. I won’t be returning any more after 3 years’ visit.
Only note is that WiFi is only for an hour if you’re hoping to work here !
Pattiserie is more than delicious!
