01 / ABOUT THE PLACE
About this place
There is a pleasing surprise in ordering curry for lunch at a cake shop, and that is part of FAVORITE THINGS’ appeal. One diner recalled a daily curry that was mild and mellow, with enjoyable textures from the chicken and vegetables. The menu’s butter chicken curry has a Japanese-style twist, with bamboo shoots. Other changing dishes include tom yum chicken pairing the sweetness of purple sweet potato with aromatic spice, and a minced-meat rice bowl with dill and cashews. With food specials changing daily—and the quiche filling varying from day to day—there is something to suit both a full meal and a lighter bite.
After lunch, there is good reason to linger over cake. A visitor chose “Coming Up Roses”, a fromage blanc cake made with rose and cassis jam; they remembered its restrained sweetness and refreshing tartness. The menu describes the chocolate orange cake as layers of chocolate and orange marmalade, with Earl Grey as a subtle accent. “Garland” is a choux pastry with chamomile cream and apricot compote. Choose between deep chocolate flavours and a combination that evokes floral aromas, depending on the mood of the moment. The brownies contain walnuts and pecans and are recommended with coffee. One diner praised the coffee for its clean, smooth taste, and enjoyed a moist, lemon-scented financier alongside it.
A diner who enjoyed Mont Blanc and coffee in the café recalled how the flavours unfolded: chestnut with a hint of red wine at the centre, a light brownie beneath the cream, and roasted almonds. It is an appealing choice for anyone who likes a little progression within a single dessert, as well as the pleasure of choosing a cake. Cakes can be enjoyed in the café or taken away, and the shop also accepts enquiries about whole cakes. Seasonal shortcakes and dark cherry tarts are listed as whole cakes, with some options available in different sizes or with a message plate by arrangement. Whether you are looking for lunch and something sweet, a gift to take away or a cake for a celebration, the menu is worth a look.
