What a sweet place to visit on a sunny day! This small scale coffee/tea shop serves desserts with a wow: the pastry is absolutely georgeous and the scenery is unique: from the small lawn one has a great view on the only lighthouse Le Touquet still has. We tried the brunch including one of the best pastries ever eaten: they're light, good looking and they taste like they look: absolutely deliciuous. Still hesitating?

The place is tiny and the pastry looked wonderful sadly it didn’t taste like it looked. Given its France and you can run into a bakery in every corner I did expect something more nicer and better taste given the price and place. My wife threw away her share and preferred what we got from the n cut village

We popped in at 9:30 AM on a Sunday—no brunch menu yet, but plenty of seating. Huge plus: they kindly offered the brunch menu for the kids while we ordered from the regular menu. By 10:30, the place fills up fast, so if you're after the brunch menu (starting at 10:30 or 11 AM), plan accordingly. Food? Fantastic. And if the weather’s great, the outdoor seating—or even the view from inside—makes it even better. Definitely a win!

Lovely place with excellent food, and gorgeous patisserie! Very friendly and helpful staff who were very patient with my middling French! Best croquembouche I’ve ever had! We will definitely be back on our next visit.

Very good atmosphere as we were positioned towards the seaside, good during the summer. The desserts were also delicious!

Popped in for a drink on a coldish winters day, accidentally had fabulous pastries. We had intended getting a coffee in the Westminster Hotel, but this seemed much friendlier and I’m glad we did.

Super nice lunch, nice choice of out of the ordinary salads and lovely home bakes pastries. The brunch looks very nice but didn't taste it. Good choice of tea. I took a salad 'coup de boost', a green tea pear litchi and a citrus pie with orange and grapefruit. My partner took gravlax salmon and a lime cheesecake. Everything was super tasty, freshly made and the service is good.
