Prestige Patisserie - Review - Tottenham - London - The Infatuation
"Prestige Patisserie is a home to some of the best sweet treats in London. The cafe is also on an industrial estate in Tottenham, that could double as the set for any ITV cop drama. But between the charming little water fountain by the till, the urban Eden nature of the rustic plant-filled garden, and the lip-smacking zest-factor of the passion fruit cake, it’s easy to blot out the sound of the neighbouring mechanic’s spark plug and reversing delivery trucks. photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch Pause Unmute This place is the sweet, caramelised child of a Bake Off: The Professionals husband and wife team who have a fancy patisserie past and it shows. Even if you have incredible self-restraint, this is not the kind of place you come to for one singular perfect cheesecake brownie. It’s the kind of place you come to for one singular perfect cheesecake brownie, followed by a genius apple crumble tart hybrid, and a cumin-loaded lamb sausage roll. Due to its location, it tends to be kind-of empty, but stop by with a few friends for maximum sugar hit potential at the weekend or for a solo sweet treat in the midst of a bad week. The sassy one-eyed cat that wanders around the tables will keep you company. Food Rundown Medovik Cake A Prestige Patisserie signature. It’s deliriously sweet with a honey, nut, and cinnamon flavour that’s reminiscent of only the best baklava. photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch Apple Crumble Tart The fancy vanilla bavaroise lovechild of its distinguished parents—apple crumble and Mr. Kipling. The shortbread to homemade Bramley apple compote ratio is perfection. For good—sorry, genius—measure, it’s topped with caramel and has a subtle but spicy nutmeg aftertaste that will give all winter crumble enthusiasts the tingles. photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch Passion Fruit Cake We all like throwing around the word ‘moist’ like an impassioned window insulation expert when cake is involved, but in this case, it’s true. The sponge is so air-light that it lets the sharp, syrupy passion fruit curd do all the talking. photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch Vanilla Cheesecake Brownie The butteriness of the vanilla chunks offer a much-needed break from the intensity of the dark chocolate brownie. Still, it’s Bill Gates rich—one to share. photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch Lamb, Mint & Cumin Sausage Roll A savoury reprieve that will please any concerned dentists, this puff pastry pièce de résistance has a no-holds-barred spicy kick of cumin, garlic, and chilli. One to order if you’re stopping by for a proper sit-down affair. photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch" - Heidi Lauth Beasley
