Crème de la Crème

At Crème de la Crème, a shop known for its choux cream puffs, that signature treat also features in the parfaits. Seasonal versions combine the shop’s choux puffs and house-made soft-serve with fruit cream or sauce, yoghurt ice cream, choux pastry rusks, jelly and other layers. One diner who tried the peach parfait enjoyed how the flavours shifted from bite to bite, with a whole peach compote, pistachio ice cream, yoghurt mousse and choux pastry rusks among the components.

The seasonal parfaits change, so you could choose one centred on the fruit of the moment, or try the marron Mont Blanc with chestnuts, matcha, caramel ice cream and coffee granita. If you would rather have a smaller dessert, order a single choux cream puff; one diner noted that its cream was not overly sweet. It also makes a good snack with a drink.

Tea options include a green tea blend with a delicate rose aroma and Aqua Exotica, a caffeine-free blend featuring hibiscus, apple and mango. Coffee is available too. Stop in for a break, or take choux cream puffs away to enjoy later.
