"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" - Rianne Shlebak
"Patisserie and choux pastry atelier Le Choux gives its Galette des Rois pride of place in its glass-fronted Ladbroke Grove shop window, as part of Franco-British pastry chef Abigail Scheur rotating cast of seasonal and festive bakes. Alongside a traditional Galette des Rois boasting intricately layered hand-laminated inverted puff pastry made with Wildfarmed flour and Normandy butter, it will also offer a “Galette des Reines,” or “Queen’s Pie,” as a nod to the all-female team. This will contain a layer of housemade gianduja alongside the classic frangipane; the fève will be a mini super-heroine figure. Whole galettes are available for pre-order in two sizes, to serve 4 or 8, while individual pies, without a fève, will be available at the shop throughout January." - Emma Louise Pudge
"Patisserie and choux pastry atelier Le Choux occupies an expansive glass-fronted shop with an open kitchen on Ladbroke Grove. There are six flavours of cookie from Abigail Scheuer, and the hazelnut gianduja cookie spliced by whole roasted hazelnuts and rivulets of free-flowing gianduja spread is the original best-seller. For special occasions, Le Choux even offers a giant cookie cake that feeds 8 while retaining the precise look and feel of the smaller cookies — crisp on the outside, soft and fudgy in the middle." - Emma Louise Pudge
