This was my first time visiting patisserie Valerie and I wasn't disappointed. The service was great, staff friendly. We had cake,coffee and tea with a toasted teacake.the cakes were delicious and so pretty. The teacakes came with plenty of butter and were very tasty. The only reason I gave 4 stars was because the coffee could have been better. I ordered a flat white which came with half of it in my saucer and was just luke warm. Also it was a little watery? To me the coffee makes or breaks a place. I am still glad I visited though.
A great selection of cakes and drinks for a lunch time catch up.
Friendly staff and always a nice experience.

We were up at Cribbs Causeway doing some shopping and we stopped at Patisserie Valerie for a coffee and a snack. There are quite a few places you can have a coffee at Cribbs, but what I like about Patisserie Valerie is that it is table service. So we sat at our table and looked over the menu. The place was busy, but the service was excellent, and we didn’t have to wait long to order.
My first choice was an apricot danish, however they had run out. So I went with my second choice, which wasn’t a pastry, but Valerie’s Welsh Rarebit. Our food arrived promptly, which was nice, especially as the place was quite full of diners. Valerie’s Welsh Rarebit was toasted bloomer bread topped with a poached egg, tomato chutney, cheddar, mustard & served with a side salad.
I don’t think I have ever had Rarebit before, so I was interested to see what it was going to be like. This was a nice cheesy toast dish, the mustard was subtle and added warmth. The poached egg was perfectly cooked. I liked the tomato chutney, which was on the side, I did think it was a little too sweet for me. Overall it was a really nice light meal.
I think one of the reasons I hadn’t ordered or had this dish before, was that usually I am looking for cake, or a full meal. Valerie’s Welsh Rarebit for me is more of a snack, or a light meal.
Alongside I had a flat white, not the best flat white in the world, but it was a good coffee.
