  Two eclairs went to divorce court, one said to the other, I want full custardy. I'll see myself out after this review. This place is all about the eclairs and choux pastry. A bit fancy, but only two tables. Which makes it become a take out place, which seems odd for what is a speciality eclaire cafe that has champagne on the menu. I got a bit of a surprise when it was time to pay for this afternoon treat. Let's just say it might be the most expensive eclairs in the country. Well we are in South Kensington after all. But so nicely designed and the ingredients and bake is supreme. I had the pink one which was raspberry flavor. I'm very confident in my masculinity you see, so I can comfortably order pink pastries and I'll even consider wearing a pink shirt. We also had a voilet flavored chocolate choquette and they gave us two regular choquettes for free. They are quite light, obviously because they are hollow inside.  The espresso was also good.

  Those eclairs from @maitrechoux !
  
  Expensive, but quite worth it.
  
  The space is tiny, it seems to be meant for takeaways. They just have 2 tables at the back. But after an afternoon at the museum, I just wanted to sit down and enjoy a coffee.
  
  The 2 lovely ladies at the counter were very helpful. They boxed up 4 non-fruit eclairs for me - vanilla, hazelnut, pistachio and coffee. They also made me a lovely latte.
  
  I brought the eclairs home for post-dinner dessert. I have to say the pistachio was my favourite. The coffee eclair however was a perfect finish. Lower in sweetness than the others, it's like finishing your meal with an espresso.

  OMG. Best pastries I've ever tasted. Yes it's expensive but the pastry chef is well known and these eclairs will be life changing. I took my first bite of the lemon one and I'm not joking I almost cried. Yes I know that's crazy. Worth the calories. Worth the money. I can't wait to go back to London and have 10 of these again.

  Amazing.  Phillipa was so sweet and helped explain the different types of pastries. She may have even let us sample a small one.  We stopped here 3.5 years ago right after it opened. We have talked about it ever since.  Coming back did not disappoint. We will go there a few more times this trip- for sure!!!!

  Completely not worth it. First of all, its an extra 2-3 pounds if you want to eat your eclairs and drink your coffee at the place... WHAT?? How can you justify paying 7-8 pounds for 1 eclairs..
  
  We got 2 to go and they were okay. The dark chocolate one had chocolate filling, which made it too chocolatey. It would've been better complimented with a vanilla filling. The hazelnut eclair was way too sweet..
  
  The presentation is great, but the price and taste is completely not worth it. I had a better, bigger eclair at the Borough Market. Skip.
