Octobre

It is easy to see why one visitor, who came looking for a cream bun, considered it a speciality: the one they bought was packed with cream. It has been described as having a classic flavour, making it a good choice when you want plenty of filling. The croissant bought on the same visit was praised for its refined flavour, with neither the wheat nor the butter overpowering the other. Another visitor enjoyed the buttery aroma that lingered after eating it. Pairing a cream bun with a croissant could be a nice way to try two different kinds of bread.

For cake, the swan-shaped choux pastry is especially eye-catching. One visitor reported that theirs was filled with fresh cream, custard and strawberries. On another visit, someone found banana inside, suggesting that the fruit combination may vary with the timing of your visit. Those who prefer tarts may enjoy the bright, sharp acidity of the lemon tart, as one customer did. With bread alongside its cakes and baked goods, Octobre suits both a stop for a sweet treat and a visit to take home a pastry with some bread.
