Jonquils Bakery & Cafe is one of my must-see stops
This eye-catching bakery specializes in 3D layered geometric desserts - their apple is particularly making the rounds on instagram.
This place is crowded! Part of it is I am there later in the day on the weekend, but even so it seems really packed.
This also unfortunately means that the menu selection is limited (for example the last apple is bought before I get to the counter…I got pictures of it in the case though :p )
I’m not sure if the menu rotates, or if once they sell out for the day they sell out, but the selection did feel very limited compared to pictures I’d seen online. (Maybe both?)
It was also odd that the pastries in the case did not match what was on the store’s menu/billboard. So you didn’t have much time to decide between being able to get close enough to see the case and ordering.
Moreover the floral teas they advertise on their website were not available- which is sad since it’s half the reason I wanted to come here.
Still I’m able to try at least two of the desserts and get a white tea.
I got a mango raspberry tulip & ‘passionate love’
Passion love- dark chocolate mousse. passionfruit coulis dark chocolate crunch chocolate sponge
Tulip- mango mousse raspberry coulis vanilla crunch orange sponge
The tulip was quite good. The passionate love I had high hopes for, it had passion fruit filling, and lots of chocolate- but was honestly not great (didn’t even finish it!)
To add to the annoyance of it all I was eating this outside on a very wet table since there simply wasn’t space inside- and I didn’t want to wait for something to open since I didn’t even have a tray to hold these confectionaries on.
Glad I got to try this place all and all, but I’m not sure I can recommend it to anyone. Maybe if you’re able to go when it’s less crowded and don’t mind being surprised by the selection?
