Gorgeous cosy Pastry shop. We adored the speciality Honey Oat Latte perfect on a rainy day. The pastries were divine, light and airy delicious.
We absolutely loved the desserts from this place. The macaroons were so flavorful and delicious. The passion fruit one was literally a flavor explosion in our mouths. Alex, Toby and Matti inhaled their pastries and couldn’t stop moaning about them. Our dear French expert, Louise, was amazed by their quality.

In the ever-changing but always interesting coterie of Stockbridge shops, set in the usual Gallic style of such artisan bakery and pop-in, sit-down, you're-in-Paris, often cramped establishments, what we were looking for was here in Raeburn Place, No.278 to be precise,👍"La Barantine."
Efficiently operated by at least two girls (perhaps of The Auld Alliance) exuding the vague impression of prim but p.c. trainee head-mistresses demanding customer behaviour adherence to the lockdown-release rules ... Or Else.
However, my wife and I were won over by their fare, their manners and their modus operandi. Coffee and Croissants were baked, served and duly first class. For gourmet cake lovers, their selection was lovely, varied and vast. Our bill was both as expected and delivered with charm. 💕 We shall seek to return in summer.
I did look up the name and found it baffling but somehow reasonably appropriate: Vis ... No one seems sure what la Barantine means. ... It certainly is the name of an aristocratic family; also some dwelling places in France ... and an asteroid.
