PAUL Bakery & Patisserie

I have been anticipating this place for so long and finally they're open! Beautiful place, such great ambience. As soon as I got a table inside, I directly head for the pastry display section. Man, wasn't that a sight!! (sorry I didn't take a picture :p) So, after some thoughtful consideration, here are what I had:

Charlemagne Dinde / Rp 60k

This is basically a cold turkey and cheese sandwich. The bread was a bit hard and crispy, which is still fine for me. Tasted nice, but nothing really special.

Canele / Rp 25k

This one, sad to say, is a let down. I was intrigued because the waiter said it has rum in it and that this is one of their best selling product. But, for me it tasted just like bika ambon!! I didn't get the slightest hint of rum :(

Millefeuille Mangue / Rp 50k

Such a fine piece of pastry! Crispy pastry, fresh mango filling with real mango bits! Perfect level of sweetness balanced with freshness. Thumbs up! 

Eclair Cafe Natur / Rp 40k

The eclair was good, but not really good. For me, the icing on top was a bit too sweet and the filling didn't have enough coffee flavour. But the texture of the eclair is not too soft, which is a good thing.

Cafe Au Lait / Rp 45k

Well, nice coffee, but nothing extraordinary

If you like pastry, you should definitely visit PAUL. Their showcase was such a sight and I bet you will have a hard time deciding what to have! However, my visit would have been so much better if only the service was better. I don't know if they're lacking in staff or what but I expected a much better service. Hopefully they will have improved their service on my next visit!
