Aaaaah, my new coffee place, love it, love it, love it. And the salmon ficelle, brilliant :-) . The staff are so friendly and smile as they go by. It can get a little crowded, but negotiating the corners is part of the charm. Love sitting outside and watching the world go by. Keep up the good work.

Been coming here on and off for years! Genuine and authentic. We mainly go for brunch as we have our dog with us and just mould ourselves into one of the outside tables and watch the world go by. You MUST try the salmon quiche – huge slices and not expensive ($5). The pastries are fresh (have never noticed a lapse in quality over the years) and coffee hot and flavoursome (I HATE getting lukewarm coffee). Beautiful french music always playing.

It really is THE place to go on a balmy Sunday morning. Yes – It does get very busy, but if you can put that issue aside and get a good place to sit, you’ll enjoy every minute here.

I’m a Barista and I had my second best coffee ever at La Tropezienne. The croissant was also great!! It was last week though.

My coffee was done by a tall conversationalist young looking Barista.

The letdown was the rest of the staff. Hopeless!! Never smiled, not even a ‘hi’.

I know that it is quite exhausting working under pressure and a backlog, however customer service comes first!

The only thing missing at the cafe is a better touch of management…

Love the place and the atmosphere. Food good and a variety to cater for young and old.

If you have a sweet tooth, it is the place to visit.

Only negative is the occasional over done coffee or food not as well heated as i would like. But these are rare occasions and always fixed by staff

The staff are friendly and nice. A good way for me to practice my terrible french ;)

Nice little place for a coffee. Hard to manouver around the counters with little space though. The french stick sandwhiches are so yummy and I love the chocolate eclairs. It’s a shame that the savoury food is alway gone by about 1pm with the lunch rush. You would think that given they run out every day so early they would make more………

It must be a great cafe, but it’s a disastrous bakery.

Huge disappointment … twice. And for the very last time, I can reassure you.

Two and a half years ago we ordered a birthday cake for my then 3 year-old daughter. We wanted some very average (by NZ standards at least) edible sugar figurines on it (horses). Instead of admitting that they are not experienced in this field we ended up having PLASTIC TOY horses pushed into the cream.

We waited two and a half years and then we gave them another chance…Wanted a nice but in fact simple European cake, the so called Dobos cake. For this one the caramelized, crunchy top gives its real unique appearance. Instead we got a chewy cake with rather hard sponge-like layers and a dipping top with honey taste. It’s a disaster. They should admit if they are not experienced in some fields of their profession, that would be fine and respected. But to pretend to be experts and take up any order without a clue how to properly make it, is an assault on good taste.

Sunday breakfast for us tends to involve a stroll to La Tropezienne. Amazing food and helpful staff.

I totally agree with you regarding the quality and ambiance of the restaurant . We and friends are regular visitors. There is however a huge problem which I want to bring under the attention of visitors. One of the co-owners is a rude and arrogant person and it is sad because the personnel are friendly fast and efficient. Be prepared to be confronted by this man should you have a complaint , request or suggestion.

I can only agree with all what is written here, it is a real taste of France. I am from Germany and I enjoy to be sometimes a little bit in Europe :-)
