French patisserie since 1871 with éclairs, croissants & art
"In our former lives, we were part of Soho’s Paris commune and we sat in Maison Bertaux all day consuming vast quantities of choux pastry as one of our many lovers compared our eyes to the Seine at night. Is this entirely factual? No. Has Maison Bertaux been a sugary Soho constant since 1871? Yes. The epic hand-piped éclairs come in nostalgic paper cases, the paris-brest is deliriously rich and nutty, and there’s a sweet little tea room that’s perfect for people who love Nancy Meyers interiors." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, rianne shlebak, daisy meager, sinead cranna
"A sugary Soho constant since 1871, Maison Bertaux specialises in cakes and fancies. The epic hand-piped éclairs come in nostalgic paper cases, the buttery, slightly crisp croissants are supersized, and there’s a piano next to the till. Next door to the grab-and-go counter, there’s a sweet little tea room that’s perfect for people who love Nancy Meyers interiors and gossiping over a rich double-decker paris-brest." - jake missing, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna, daisy meager
"Society needs to accept that sugar is a respite from every online article that teases a four-day work week. If you agree, you’ll love Maison Bertaux. It’s the ideal place to start lunch with a pizza-goes-to-Paris Dijon slice and end it with a selection of choux, tarts, and fancies. There’s a sweet little tea room and pavement seating if you want to sit down for some quality time with the epic hand-piped éclairs, but you can also grab-and-go and they’ll tie your takeaway box up in pink ribbon." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna
"Sugar is timeless. As is Maison Bertaux, a blue-and-white breton stripe-clad French patisserie that’s had a sweet treat mentality since 1871. The hand-piped éclairs come in kitsch little paper cases, there’s an old piano by the till, and drinking a frothy coffee out on the pavement seating in the sunshine can only be improved by loudly claiming you’ve never, ever been to Pret. Taking one of the super-sized croissants to Soho Square is also a very good way to add a little ‘je ne sais quoi’ to your lunch break." - heidi lauth beasley
"What To Get: Hand-piped éclairs in paper cases and a rich double-decker paris-brest. Time Capsule Factor: The cakes and fancies at this sugary Soho constant look and taste like they’re from a time when dainty measurements were a faux pas. Sit out on the pavement under the blue-and-white awning if you want to feel all cafe society or opt for the tea party setting inside, complete with Great British street party icon, bunting." - jake missing, sinead cranna, heidi lauth beasley, rianne shlebak
