Located in the centre of Cambridge, this Patisserie Valerie is decorated in the signature red and dark wood café brasserie style. Offering up beautifully presented cakes, pastries and French patisserie, theses sweet treats are sure to put a smile on your face before you even get a taste.
With five classic cakes that have become Patisserie Valerie’s signature slices, you can pick from strawberry gateau, double chocolate, black forest or the mille-feuille and baked cheesecake. This comes on top of other flavours that vary depending on the day and the store you visit.
The cake slices are sized to be the perfect portion for one person. However if you still haven’t satisfied that sweet craving after one, why not try one of its tarts or eclairs? Go for the coffee or double chocolate éclair and don’t forget to Instagram this baby because it’s very pretty. For a fruity treat, the raspberry and strawberry tarts are worth a try too.
Although predominantly focusing on the sweet stuff, it also has an all-day savoury menu with classic brunch dishes, sandwiches and heavier evening meals to pick from. Because it is French inspired, there are, of course, the classic French snacks of croque monsieur and grilled croissants with a choice of fillings.
As well as being a fully functioning café where you can eat in, it also has a personalisation service for its celebration cakes. Go online and choose everything from flavours to size and decoration, pick it up in store just a few days later and you’ll be perfectly prepared for whatever celebration you may be having. For when you aren’t so organised and need a cake in a rush, it has pre-made ones you can buy at the counter. No matter what the situation you can always rely on Patisserie Valerie to have you covered.
