| - Mmmm cream puffs!
This name, cream puff was a bit baffling. I couldn't imagine a WHOLE shop dedicated to one single pastry! A whole shop that does a sweet croissant, cut in half, and filled with whipped cream?
Then I find out this place makes (fresh daily) sweet pastry balls, iced or plain, and filled with your favourite filling!! Ohhhh, you mean profiteroles!
So, now I love profiteroles & cream puffs... and especially Cruffs.
I went around 6PM on a Sunday... the fridge of specialties was almost bare (good for them, not for me) but a friendly man pointed out a few options, and explained the filling flavours.
I chose 2 with a Coconut flake topping, and one plain cream puff. I stuffed the Coconut, with more Coconut... and the plain with Chantilly Cream & Strawberry.
O M G.
At the time of my visit, the flavours they had available were Strawberry, Vanilla, Coconut, Chantilly Cream, & Chocolate. According to their website they also offer Vanilla, Vanilla Rum, Lemon, Hazelnut Chocolate, and Banana. I can't wait to try the lemon. Zing!
5 stars for prices. 4.5 stars for location, parking, general aesthetics. 5.5 stars for great staff. 5 stars for quality of delightful little cream puffs.
I'm planning a friends wedding this summer, and just as the mini cupcake towers were all the rage 5 years ago - I predict cream puff towers at weddings all over town this year...
Cream Puff dress - check!
Cream Puff cake - check!
Sounds like a match made in heaven to me...
