| - I stopped in to pick up a few treats and stayed for a cappuccino and a brioche. The coffee was delicious, and the brioche (topped with icing and filled with raisins) was one of the best I have had. Though at first I was disappointed that it was a bit small, the taste was incredible. The ratios of bread to icing to raisins was perfect and I think the size was perfect, actually. The donuts looked delicious also, and next time I want to try one. Another patron was eating a salad which looked very good.
I took home a small box of cookies to have with my afternoon tea, and they were all great. The earl grey cookies could have been a bit more flavorful. However, the taste of earl grey, or similar flavor profiles like lavender or rose, is also easy to overdue, and I would rather have too little flavor than too much. The other cookies I got were playfully decorated. I especially loved the chocolate 'bisous' cookies.
I will definitely come back for a coffee and a snack. DFEF has a wonderful atmosphere - nicely decorated, clean, and quiet - and is great for getting some work done.
I would consider purchasing one of their exquisite looking cakes, but perhaps only for a special occasion since they are a bit pricey. Still, you get what you pay for, and here you are definitely paying for high-quality foods that are expertly prepared.
