Reviews Patisserie Joie De Vie

Evidence of covid social distancing still evident in partially worn yellow and black tape on the floor. It almost feels retro now we have forgotten about the lurgies! We devoured a delightful raspberry and pistachio almond tart. The moist, soft fruitiness of the raspberries played well against the almond base, which had bite on the outside and was soft on the inside. The chopped pistachios gave a third dimension and a bonus was that it was frosted lightly in icing sugar. Did you know teddy bears adore icing sugar! Staff is friendly with the woman wanting to hold me and a man speaking with me. *Update July 2023* Here again yesterday and had the apricot crumble. Yummy but it could of done with a touch more apricot at the bottom but was was, was succulent. I was wondering if there was liquidised apricot in the crumble itself as it had a reasonable fruity sweet moistness.

We discovered a charming local coffee shop/restaurant on a Sunday drive to Barnet high street, seeking a change from the usual coffee chains and hoping to support a small business. The front window of the restaurant was attractive, featuring a delicious array of pastries and sandwiches that immediately caught our eye. The large windows allowed plenty of natural light to flood the space, and the rustic decor added to the welcoming atmosphere. On a quiet Sunday morning, there were many available tables, though the restaurant did get busier as we enjoyed our breakfast. The interior was spacious and warm, but the only drawback was the harsh acoustics that made every sound echo throughout the space. However, the absence of background music made for a pleasant environment. The menu offered an excellent selection of breakfast and brunch items, including traditional breakfast fare, shakshuka, various paninis and sandwiches, and a tempting array of sweet treats. The prices were somewhat high, which may deter some customers. The service was efficient and friendly, and all requests were quickly taken care of. Although we had initially only planned on getting coffee, we couldn't resist trying a panini and almond croissant, both of which were fresh and delicious. Overall, we had a positive experience and would definitely recommend this lovely local coffee shop/restaurant. Next visits I hope to sample the crepe offering.

It's an amazing brunch spot on the high street! I highly recommend it and the staff are very friendly. My personal favourite is the scrambled eggs with smoked salmon, and the dressing on the salad is excellent. The coffee and homemade smoothies are delicious aswell.

Ive been seeing and passing this place whenever we go to high street. At last, we tried. It was a really nice place, good ambiance, exceptional service, courteous personnel and the food superb! And they serve Halal viands! We now keep coming back!

The crown jewel of my visit was undoubtedly the Salted Caramel Mille-Feuille. Each bite of this beautifully crafted pastry was a symphony of textures and flavors. The caramel had just the right balance of sweetness and saltiness, while the layers of flaky puff pastry added a deliciously satisfying crunch. It's clear that the patisserie's craftsmen have perfected this delicate balance with utmost precision. In addition to the Mille-Feuille, the bakery's assortment of other pastries is equally delectable, showcasing an impressive variety of treats from traditional classics to unique creations. The small size of Patisserie Joie De Vie is a charming element, lending the bakery an air of coziness and intimacy. However, it does mean limited seating. During peak hours, you might find yourself waiting for a spot or choosing to enjoy your pastry elsewhere. Customer service at the patisserie is generally commendable. The staff, while busy, are friendly and attentive, ready with suggestions if you're unsure of what to choose from their extensive menu. The ambiance in Patisserie Joie De Vie is welcoming, with a blend of rustic and modern aesthetics. However, given the bakery's popularity, the atmosphere can occasionally feel a bit crowded due to its size.

Great little cafe. We only popped in briefly for a hot drink and afternoon treat whilst passing through Barnet. The coffee was good and my son said his hot chocolate was really nice. There was a great selection of cakes and pastries and the menu says they do all day breakfast and other food. Looking around at what other people were eating, it all looked tasty. Not the cheapest food and drink, but it was good value.
