Every time I find a place like this, I leave tremendously upset that I hadn't come sooner.
This is my second time visiting Mg Patisserie this week and there is something undeniably special about this place. It's a small cafe- tidy and well-loved. Their selection is what you'd expect, and a few things you wouldn't expect but befitting to a two Michelin star pastry chef.
To my delight, the chef was in today- I decided to have "The Rude French Man" and their cinnamon roll. All with a hot coffee, naturally.
The "Rude French Man" is a hilarious misnomer because the chef is warm and friendly. The sandwich itself was delicious. Melty cheese, perfect medium yolk, thick smoked ham, buttery and flaky croissant. The fresh spinach provided a welcome respite to the richness of the sandwich.
The cinnamon roll might be the best I've ever had. I did a happy little shoulder shake as I was eating it- not too sweet, light, hundreds of layers, and not doughy.
With a Starbucks right next door, I couldn't help but watch their customers and think how jealous they should all be at the experience I was having.
A few honorable mentions: The pineapple upside down cheesecake is a religious experience, and their chocolate chip cookie is a texturally decadent delight.
Overall, couldn't give a more glowing review. I will absolutely be back, hungry for more.
