Sugar hit in Waterloo
A casual afternoon tea brings me to Patisse for a sugar hit of Chef Vincent Gadan's cakes. By 3 pm it's unfortunately slim pickings from the counter display as most of the cakes seem to have gone for the day. The Opera Cake ($7.50) has the right amount of cake and chocolate for me which isn't as rich as the higher priced Valrhona Chocolate & Raspberry cake ($9). The Apple Tartin ($6) comes with a scoop of ice cream which hits the spot. The pastry is quite light although a knife would have made it easier to cut than using the fork supplied. The softness of the apple on top makes it very enjoyable to eat. My Hot Chocolate ($3.50) thankfully had a good depth of chocolate flavour which comes with the bonus of a marshmallow. If you want to be spoilt for choice then it seems it's best to visit earlier in the day.
Other visits to Patisse:
• 28 April 2012 - Cakes and Hot Chocolate
• 24 May 2011 - Croquembouche Masterclass with Vincent Gadan
SNAPSHOT REVIEW:
PROS: Quality cakes, Fair amount of seating, Free street parking
CONS: Most of the cakes and pastries had run out by the late afternoon, Some cakes seem a little pricey, Can be hard to find parking especially when Hillsong is on just down the road
MUST TRY: Visiting earlier in the day to check out more of the cakes

Just reading this has me drooling over his salted butter caramel macarons...
This looks so yummy. Would love to taste the Opera cake.
hi laura, i did see quite a few different macarons in the display. hopefully will try next time.
hi sophie, it's a classic cake which they seem to do quite well. i think you can also buy large ones to take home for a special occasion, or even just for yourself ;-)
