Oree Boulangerie

I walked in on a Tuesday at 3 pm, the two staff there were courteous and helpful. My chocolate eclair was very tasty, filled with creamy chocolate, and the dark chocolate on top adds some bitterness to counter the cream. If anything, it’s be nice if the pastry be puffier, floor & table be cleaner, and priced a bit more reasonably for the reasons above. All in all nice neighborhood bakery.

Oree is a great bakery - from the raspberry tart to the stuffed French croissant, it’s delicacies have been crafted to near-perfection. I especially recommend the Nutella croissant, which is basically a croissant with a flaky shell and a doughy inside, and then somehow Oree chefs managed to make Nutella burst out when you bite into it. If you walk into Oree, you can’t miss the Nutella croissant: it’s a regular-shaped croissant with a chocolate-brown strip swirling around the croissant. The raspberry tart is also very delicious: a perfect fusion of gentle lemon curd, fruity raspberries and a soft yet flaky crust. It’s a mystery why this bakery is rated quite low - hopefully, this review will upgrade it’s standards, since it deserves at least a 4.8 rating!

Needed a quick breakfast whilst in London this weekend and Orée fitted the bill perfectly. They had lots to choose from, both sweet & savoury, including pain au chocolates, raspberry, almond & chocolate croissants, croque monsieur’s ready to toast and much more, but I chose 2 Madeleines. They were buttery, light, vanillary and delicious. Both washed down with a rather excellent Earl Grey tea. Breakfast never tasted so good! 🤩

I love lots of fresh/roasted fruits in cakes so Orèe is the place to go for me for fresh cakes, pastries and tarts. We often get them for our departmental leaving dos at the hospital which is refreshingly different from the supermarket boxed cakes. I find it healthy as well and have tasted quite a few different varieties. The tarts with pears and apricots are great but a tad sweet. I also prefer the ones which are cream based and less sweet, depending on what I fancy at the time. Located conveniently on the High Street,great place e to visit for coffee and pastries. They have a deli bar for sandwiches too. If you want a pastry with a difference, do visit Orèe.

Every time I've been to the Cineworld across the road, I've seen this café and wanted to go inside. Today, I finally managed. 😊 My friend and I shared the Chocolate Lovers pastry and an almond croissant. The almond croissant was good and not overly sweet, but the Chocolate Lovers pastry was delicious. The dark chocolate coating melts in your mouth as it mixes with the chocolate mousse and crème brûlée. You start chewing and discover the layer of crunchy praline that gives the whole pastry a beautiful hazelnut flavour. 🌰 The best thing is when your friend decides that they prefer to have the almond croissant and you finish the whole thing instead of sharing it. 😍🤤 The only downside, in my eyes, was the Monmouth coffee which I find too acidic. What a shame when you love having coffee and cake together. 🙄 The service was alright, though not great.

High quality cakes, sweets and vinosserie, sandwiches are amazing and it's a nice place where to sit and have a coffee or lunch alone or with friends. Lemon tart is my favourite but the raspberry tart was also amazing. I had a toast with salmon that tasted really nice and my friend an omelette that was good but needed a bit of salt. But my favourite goodie was the gluten free cookies, they tasted amazing and they were perfect, soft in the middle and crunchy in the outside, you don't feel they are without gluten. I want to go back and try more of their products, maybe on my next trip to London.
