I have heard amazing things about Patisserie Manon, which is why I'm completely open to trying it again and updating this review. However, this is just based on the one time I purchased desserts here.
I was here to pick up baguettes and dessert for a NYE's party. Here's what I got:
- St. Honore cake - the toffee was good, but the chocolate cream in the puffs tasted bland. The puffs were also kinda stale and the whole dessert just looked thrown together.
- Opera cake - for some reason it just tasted refrigerated and stale.
- Mille feuille - the custard in this dessert was so eggy, it reminded me of an egg tart (where it all starts to gelatinize) rather than be a creamy custard.
- Fruit tart - the fruit was good but the custard was also the same weird eggyness as what was in the mille fuille.
- Baguettes - THE SAVING GRACE. Delicious, but the size was definitely more American (bigger) rather than the traditionally thinner baguettes with flattened ends.
All in all, rather disappointing. However, the baguettes were delicious. The service of the staff was OK.
