The cottage is a charming tea house with a shabby style. The soft colors, the ancient objects, the lovely details (hearts…) give to this place a cosy, peaceful and Bristish atmosphere. The cakes are homemade and savoring. I tasted the waffle and it was very tasty. The tea comes from the Dammann Frères tea house. I degusted the delicious vanilla black tea. Besides, it is well located, it is near to the Bon marché (famous department store in Paris).

The cottage is located 8 rue de Commaille 75007 Paris.

Sadaharu Aoki is a reputed Japanese pastry maker. The Japanese flavours (black sesame, matcha…) add a Japanese touch to French pastries (eclairs, puff cakes, Opera…). My favourite pastry is the black sesame eclair. It is delicious!

I tasted also the matcha puff cake and It was very tasty. Matcha is a traditional Japanese green tea which is made from powdered green tea leaves. Besides, i savoured a delicate genmaicha tea (Japanese tea made from roasted tea leaves and toasted rice).

I went to the Aoki’s shop located 56, boulevard de Port-Royal 75005 paris. There are others shops in Paris.
