Aux Merveilleux de Fred in Kensington and Chelsea

Delicious buns, croissants, and sandwiches. Egg sandwich and chicken sandwich are both amazing. Excellent coffee. Meringues and especially the pistachio meringue confections are out of this world . Very friendly service.

The almond croissants here are FANTASTIC.

Tasty meringues, friendly service

Again. Ok I suppose. Small. Mostly takeaways. Good food. But not to sure

A very enjoyable patisserie. We tried almost all varieties of delicious cakes. You can taste each of them with peace of mind.

The croissant and chocolate bread were very fresh, warm and delicious. It smelled like butter.

Been a regular customer for over 11 years but the quality of their coffee and the service has gradually less impressive.

The "cramique" (brioche) with raisins was nice enough, 8/10. The staff are nicer than cakes.

Absolutely delicious pastries — so fresh and full of flavor! The staff are incredibly kind and welcoming. Such a lovely place, highly recommended!

A must-try place. Not only sweets but also various savory delicacies. All very good. Chocolate chip sandwiches, dumplings, cheese and jam sandwiches and much more. There is the possibility of taking away but also eating at the tables inside. Courteous and welcoming staff, there is also a very nice Italian girl.

Well I thought that for a “French” bakery they would have at least had caneles on offer!? But there were no caneles there, furthermore, they didn’t even know what caneles were! So clearly, it’s really an English bakery disguised as “French”. Cette boulangerie n’est pas français!

Absolutely delicious, loved my experience here. I ordered a latté, as well as a chocolate-almond croissant, both of which were perfect. Great coffee, great pastries, nothing to complain about at all! Would absolutely recommend.

This place is a joke. 2 times entered with my girlfriend, said hello and the (same) employee not even bothered to say hello, second time (today) she even turned her back to us . Sometimes stereotypes are just reality:)

Hermosa pastelería europea que es encantador para entrar a tomar un bollo de té o un café. El personal, sin embargo, no podía dar un higo si aparecías o no. Recibido por un '¿quieres algo', prepara la escena para que sigas volviendo. . Los pasteles están floreciendo bien.

The pastries are great but somehow feels like they are not on the same level as the ones sold in the brand’s patisseries in Metz. To eat in the prices are higher, which seems a bit funny considering the atmosphere to eat in isn’t the best compared to so many other places across London – you have to listen to the radio coming from the kitchen, there are no customer toilets, and the general vibe to sit in is a bit… weird. Coffee quality can be improved too.

The best pastries in London, mark my words. Their brioche sandwiches are also divine!

Delicious brioche with chocolate chips. Warm too !

pain au chocolat simply perfect!

Not a proper seating area. Too expensive and not a relaxing environment

I ate a delicious pain au chocolate and croissant here and the coffee was great! Really friendly service ❤️

La comida era genial, pero el servicio era deficiente Hice mi pedido y le pregunté a la persona que toma el pedido 3 veces sobre la mermelada Cuando llegó mi pedido le faltaba la mermelada, la persona que traía mi comida dijo que no pedí mermelada ya que no estaba en el pedido, entonces procedió a intentar cambiarme por su error Fue solo cuando le dije que reembolsara todo el pedido que me lo ofreció de forma gratuita

Extremely good pain au chocolat

Wonderful brioches and the croissant is pretty decent too. Coming from Lille, France this is a classic and I'm glad it's around so I can indulge from time to time.

I came to try the very viral pangocciolo that is becoming popular on TikTok and I swear it's delicious, worth all the money spent (£5.40)

Possibly my favorite patisseries in London. Husband and I stop by here almost every night during our stay in the city and we always get the mini and waffle plus other bread. Their bread is light and very tasty. We tried the brioche too, pain du chocolat, tuna sandwich and egg sandwich and all of them were extremely satisfying. The staff was all very friendly and helpful.

Wonderful in every sense of the word. I wish I could take him with me to Saudi Arabia every day and have breakfast and dinner with them

Fantastic and authentic French style croissant! Can't fault this place.

Come for the excellent chocolate brioche but perhaps don’t stay. Seating is limited and service at is somewhat erratic.

The cramique reminds me of my childhood bread. Also tried the white chocolate biscoff

I can smell the high-quality butter. My favorite bakery in the world. The navettes are amazing. They’re so soft and delicious. Take a bite of their croissant and you’ll never forget!

Tomamos un muy buen café y un capuchino, acompañados de una especia de factura con pasas realmente grande, que estaba bien. Precios normales para Londres, atención muy cordial. Y el lugar es muy agradable en en Leadenhall Market.

Their chocolate chip brioche is just excellent 😍

It became almost a habit to pass by to them. The Brioche’s ones but definitely once it’s fresh made.

The most delicious chocolate brioche I’ve ever eaten - would go out of my way to visit again

OMG, get the sticky buns!! Several. 🤤

The pastries were delicious. We got the brioche, pain au chocolat and pain au lait Nutella.

Please put music on. Staff talk inappropriately around customers.. they were talking about how they were on their periods.. foul

The waffles were made with rum, the brioche was huge and sprinkled with grains, and even though I wasn't waiting long enough, I ended up ordering a cappuccino inside. There is a takeaway only shop at High Street Kensington station.

I love this cafe very much. Good vibes 😎 Their cappuccino and chocolate cramique were very nice and tasty. I also tried their signature-merveilleux mini version🥰🥰Both chocolate & coffee were yummy!

Very nice place,good food,delicious coffee and friendly staff ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💖🙏🏼 Thank you

È un forno francese dove tutto è di ottima qualità!! Fanno quelli che noi chiamiamo pangoccioli, eccezionali!!! Sempre caldi, sia grandi che piccoli,.... sono veramente una goduria per il palato come le altre cose!!! 😋😋... Accettano solo pagamenti con carte di credito. Consigliato vivamente per iniziare bene la giornata!!

The almond pain au chocolate is thr most decadent almond croissant I have ever tasted. Beautiful pastry.

Lovely tasting pastries. The price is high but the taste is good, definitely worth it as a treat ! The seating was great when I visited, however I can imagine not everyone will always be able to be seated. There are only three tables. I also heard one member of staff say to customers that a table was reserved and not to sit on it. I would say advise customers to go in knowing what they are going to order as a queue will form behind you and the waiting staff work at speed. I don’t think there were any toilets. The seating could fit a child but is not very kid-friendly in that there is not much space and limited seats available.

Excellent pastry, I highly recommend the spherical brioches with chocolate chips inside. They are truly exquisite. The cappuccinos and espresso are also up to Italian standards, very good. The open pastry shop then, from the rest, a really nice atmosphere. Highly recommended!

everything looks so good, I had a chocolate chip brioche and it was delicious

A truly fantastic pain au chocolate

Simply the BEST croissant I’ve had so far in London - both quality wise and price wise speaking! Popped in on a Saturday morning. The croissant was just fresh out of the oven. It was so flaky, buttery, light and airy in the best possible way. You can really taste the butter in every bite. And £2.6 for a great croissant in central London is not bad at all! Would recommend going there early in the mornings when the pastries are the freshest. Highly recommend - not a bakery to be missed!

The best cakes and such helpful staff

Little gem! Absolutely fantastic taste and fresh pastry every day. Prices really amazed me for a second, worth every penny! Coffee is good as well, if you are local it’s a crime that you missing this every morning! Thank you guys, you made our day☀️

Delightful bakery with pleasant staff. Great for desserts and pastry treats to share or to enjoy while on a walk in the park.

Este fue un paseo por el hallazgo de gemas . .. desde el exterior . . se parece a cualquier otro pastel de lujo . . pero si te acercas te sientes atraído por estas pequeñas cúpulas que parecen amor ! ¡Tenemos un praliné y un chocolate y están lindos empaquetados en cajas lindas! Perfecto para la dulzura sin que sea desagradable. . . 1 es suficiente. .. el merengue y la crema encajan perfectamente ! 🥰

I did not expect the chocolate meringue and cream cake or whatever it’s called to be so delicious, it really was out of this world for me, I will try all the others now, I said to myself that everytime I please the shop I will get something, that’s going to cost my waist.

El dolor del chocolate es ridículo. Lo mejor que he tenido. No tiene dos escatimadas barras de chocolate. Tiene una gran mancha de ganache de chocolate negro. Advertencia: ¡estos son adictivos! También disponible en la parada de metro de Kensington en Londres.

Excellent pastries - dangerously tasty.

If there lower than star, I will put the girl in the picture treated me very badly. I asked for a coffee. She said we don’t have, and then after me, an old man came, which look like her and she gave him a coffee. while I’m watching she didn’t care that was super rude and gross I will never come again and will never recommend this place to anyone

Get the chocolate brioche bun!!

Got a white chocolate Meringue for desert at home( serving 6). Too sweet. It‘s the taste of pure sugar. If you are like me, who doesn’t like very sugary pastries, you’d hate it. But I guess it’s made as it’s supposed to. Just don’t expect any special taste. It’s just sweet.

Lovely staff, nice place to sit. And great brioche with good prices. I recommend the chocolate brioche. Best fresh but also would be great toasted or dunk in hot chocolate/coffee.

A restful little place for a gorgeous coffee and a blackcurrant meringue which was unbelievably good. Smallish place and the quality is superb. Kind of glad I don’t live too close, it could become addictive. I highly recommend this pâtisserie, bakery & cafe. Scrumptious!

Delicious and crunchy empty croissant

The scones and savory cake I got were excellent, really high quality and really high price! Distracted service.

Absolutely delicious little merengue treats.

For a French person visiting London, it’s a real joy to come across this pastry chef! The chocolate chip raisin buns are so delicious! Order without moderation!!

Wow! I used to buy the Italian Navette many many times, it was always £2.95 per piece. Today, it’s up to £3.90. Wow! 🤯🤯 That’s 3.90 for a TINY piece of bread. The old price was quite steep already, but now it’s just crazy. Definitely the last time I purchased. Gotta buy elsewhere 🤷‍♀️

We had the pain au chocolat with almonds and it’s so good. The whole place smells delicious. We highly recommend it.

Pains au chocolat are 50% smaller than before for the price. Main cake got less and less meringue and get smaller too. Not going there anymore.

Ein schöner Laden im Leadenhall Market. Leckeres und frisches Gebäck. Preis-Leistungsverhältnis stimmt hier. Kommt vorbei.

Los merengues pequeños, con sus diferentes sabores, están riquísimos (2,10€) El merengue grande (1,75€), rectangular, no está bueno. Tiene abajo una película de merengue Duro y GOMOSO, que no puede comerse. Los croissantes (2,40€) están ricos de sabor pero son de mantequilla, no están crujientes. Para mi nada que ver con los croissantes franceses, crujientes, deliciosos, que yo busco por todo Madrid. Los baños, como siempre en España, sin mantener. Papeles a rebozar e inodoro roto. Adjunto fotos. NO volveré. Una pena...

Delicious and delicious from Le Mans to London to find a very friendly team and French know-how

Good products freshly made,I enjoyed the brioche is to die for.

Everything is delicious and tasty. The team is smiling and welcoming. Really recommending "Aux Merveilleux de Fred" and if you have this time, just take a seat and enjoy!

Tutto buonissimo....compresa la cupola con meringa e panna ricoperta di scagli di zucchero alla ciliegia. Dolce mai mangiato e direi ottimo

One of the places I always visit when going to London.

Honestly, you are going to die in heaven when you eat the almond croissant here! Lol because I definitely did! The pastry and coffee here are next level!!! You absolutely need to come try the pastry. It is flaky on the outside but soft and warm on the inside. Just soooo delicious! I also had their latter and hot chocolate, which are also really delicious. 5 stars!!!

The pros : very good products, freshly made, brioches were still warm from the oven. I recommend the brioche with chocolate, it was delicious. The cons : below average service, no greetings, one staff only at the counter despite a long queue extending outside the shop.

This place is small but beautiful. The coffee is one of the best Ive had in London. I ordered a coconut milk cappuccino. They serve hot chocolate brioche buns that are so wonderfully warm. We also got a coffee waffle but it unfortunately was dry and stale.

Quite a mice selection of pastries. All that we had were quite good. I admit the ones we had in Brussels were a bit better as the creme waffles were served warm and these were cold. Very hood, nonetheless.

Had 2 praline meringue and coffee cone cakes, an almond croissant, and coffee - it was all delicious.

We went to the patisserie for my birthday cake which I always purchase on 23/24 December each year. Prior for today visit I was there yesterday and had spoken to one of your staff. Apon entering the premises I was poached by an asian lady and I was discussing the size of the cake and the make-up of the cake. When your waitress Asian (who was excellent) showed the Cake to me I realized that it had too much white base ( murenge ). Both our waitress and the barman agreed on that and they called the manager who was insisted it was okay - and when I asked her to compare the finishing with the cake on the display she started telling me no to touch the cake even thus I didn't . I said to her repeatedly that - I am a regular and local for over 25 years and asked her if I could speak with the Italian lady or Bresilian and Australian lady who worked there but she laughed and told me that he's been manager there over 10 years. I agreed to order one with the waitress if they could make the cake make up nicer. Unfortunately the new Italian manager come to the till area and started again to lecture me about the size of the cake and told me if I want I could leave and she will call the security. We complained again and repeatedly said ( this is not the type of customer experience I always received ) but he refused to change the cake, because according to another gentleman who was shouting to me and calling me names and saying to back to your country. and your Manager supported this behaviour and make a lough about it. My wife came and pay while I was telling the English man to mind he's business and I can see the lady -manager mocking with all the people inside the bakery. The service was very slow response from the team because the place was not full but other customer where there and other came to wait and even Interfered in my order. ( I dont know is this because I was brown colour or is a custom to insult client and humiliate clients and of course the lack of professionalism from the manager ruined our day. For sure I will never visit the place again and I do not recommend it to anyone visiting. I will also make this experience available to my friends/familly/and the locals authority. From the insult that I received from the gentleman who was calling me bad names/its clearly a hate crime and when he repeatedly said go back to your country the staff and manager laughed.

Ottima pasticceria francese. Personale veramente cortese e preparato. Le paste sono molto buone e fresche. Consiglio il cappuccino ... Veramente ben fatto. Alla prossima!!! Bravi!

Ottimo posto per fare una colazione veloce e molto buona. Servizio veloce e gentile, ambiente leggermente asettico ma credo anche perchè è prettamente una pasticceria d'asporto.

A speciality bakery with a selection of meringue bases products in a variety of flavours. Selection of sandwiches, brioches, croissants etc. Lovely hot chocolate and tea selection. An interesting experience. Only 3 small round tables in a cosy corner with confortable seats The staff was friendly

Sono entrata in questa pasticceria, attratta dalle vetrine dove sono esposti dei "pangoccioli", anche di dimensioni giganti. Sì tratta di panbrioche con gocce di cioccolato oppure con uvetta. Da italiana, conoscendo sia i pangoccioli commerciali, sia quelli artigianali di Roma, sia il panbrioche, non sono impazzita per questa variante, ma per carità è fatta bene (preferisco però la variante nostrana). Il negozio vende anche altri dolci, tra cui ho preso una cupoletta rivestita di granella di nocciola, fatta di una specie di panna, che però non mi è piaciuta molto.

For me one of the best pain au chocolate and croissant in London!

Absolutely the best in the world

Always the best brioches and sandwiches!

Very traditional French patisserie also in London. I tried the Le Merveilleux which is made with Meringue, chocolate whipped cream coated with shavings of dark chocolate. The atmosphere is really cosy and I also recommend their pastries, I heard the best almond croissant is right there.

Well known for these little cakes, they provide for a small and sweet treat. Prices are reasonable coming in at around £3-£4.5/piece.

The brioche (raisin and plain) buns are to die for. Quality ingredients that leave you satisfied without the sick feeling the cheaper ingredients used in other bakeries leave. Once I tasted their baked goods I couldn’t tolerate most commercial places’ products. Another jewel in the London gastronomic scene

I think this place is so overrated interme of taste and service. Do not waste your money and time.

My friend and I stopped by here for coffee and Merveilleux treats. They are fluffy merengue like desserts that are covered with almonds, hazelnuts and other toppings. Kinda tricky to eat, and a bit too sweet. We ordered two and came in a cute box. Fancy!

Amazing pastries and sandwiches! Well worth a visit

Sadly going downhill. Sandwiches used to be great. Now there is very little filling, too much mayonnaise (why mayonnaise in a mozzarella and pesto sandwich?), salty and poorly executed. Salmon very salty, skimpy and fatty fillings for egg, tuna, goat cheese. Also seems like the quality of the fillings are not as good. The brioche are noticeably smaller. Must be the cost of expansion but not a fan anymore. Looks better than it is.

We got the tiny sandwiches from here after seeing them in the window the day prior and they were so nice. The perfect amount and not bad value. Made fresh with fresh ingredients.

The almond croissant was so yummy. The raisin and chocolate cramique were so delicious. We also found their prices more reasonable than other bakeries in the area. We went to Aux Merveilleux de Fred in St Pacras station to get the almond croissant, but we were told they did not bake in that branch, so if you want to try the almond croissant, you should get to the this bake shop. It will be worth for sure.

One star. Food ordinary. Pity it looks nice. Non friendly staff.

This is a superb stop off for coffee and an amazing choice of cakes/pastries. Pavement tables and chairs in entrance to Leadenhall Market. We picked a nice day to sit out which was great with friendly service and good choice. Also good for takeaway all being prepared in front of your eyes under an amazing chandelier. Definitely worth a visit to snack or just to look through the window.

Nothing I write will be able to describe this place, I simply love everything, everything is very well done and very tasty, it's definitely worth visiting.

food was absolutely amazing and couldn't believe how good the desert wa, i really enjoyed the crossaints
