Top choice in Sunshine Coast
From the tarts and eclairs to the dacquoises (made with almond and hazelnut meringue), the calorific concoctions from French-born owner and pâtissier Jean Jacques are as beautiful as they are delicious. Jean's cult-status millefeuille (French vanilla slice) is only available on Thursdays and usually sells out by noon. Excellent homemade ice cream and sorbets too. Lunch bites include quiches.
Also opens on Tuesdays during the school holidays.
