Le Choux - Review - Notting Hill - London - The Infatuation

"Le Choux’s counter is a recipe for panic buying. You’ll see the namesake choux—with more fillings than you could dream of—lined up uniformly, like the curated bookshelf of someone who definitely doesn’t read. But before you reach that part of this Ladbroke Grove counter, there are indulgent cakes and trays of cookies fresh out of the oven, their wafts of butter clouding your judgement. It’s all a bit overwhelming. Our advice? Focus on the airy, yet firm choux in incredible flavours like passion fruit that tastes like a Solero in a bun, or apple crumble that delivers the comfort of the warming autumn dessert in two small bites. If you’re a cookie fan, you should also get the well-balanced milk chocolate and sea salt one. Le Choux is more of a takeaway bakery than somewhere to sit down. But there are a couple of benches out front where you can watch the bakers running around through the big windows into the kitchen. So get a couple of choux buns boxed up, and be on your merry way. photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch Pause Unmute" - Rianne Shlebak
