Aux Merveilleux de Fred in Kensington and Chelsea

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☀️

This was a walk by gem find... from the outside.. it just looks like any other fancy pastry... but if you go closer you get attracted to these little domes that just look like love ! We got a praline and a chocolate.. and they are cutely packaged in cute boxes ! Perfect amout of sweetness without it being sickening... 1 is enough... the meringue and cream fit perfectly ! 🥰

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

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.

The pain au chocolat is ridiculous. The best I ever had. It doesn’t have two skimpy chocolate bars. It has a great big glob of dark chocolate ganache. Warning: these are addictive! Also available at the Kensington high tube stop in London.

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

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.

Get the chocolate brioche bun!!

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.

Fantastic and authentic French style croissant! croissant is comparable to La Maison D'isabelle in Paris. Can't fault this place.

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

Superb café, well represented beautifully clean. Professional and courteous staff really nice pastries reasonably priced. Well worth a visit.

Croissants are not great not terrible

فنان وغاري ويستحق التجربه والقهوة فنانه والمكان صغير داخل بس لازم تجربونه

5* - truly best brioche I have ever tried and the girl that served me today was so sweet and friendly. Great coffee too and reasonable prices for such good quality. I’m very happy I walked past and will definitely come back 😌

The almond chocolate croissant was so yum. The brioche too. I also found their prices more reasonable than other bakeries in the area. I found the hazelnut merveilleux a bit too sweet for my tastes

Cant really understand the high reviews on this venue. Mediocre quality of ingredients, ridiculous portions and extremely poor execution. Meringue was sandy and pan au chocolate was completely deflated. Probably and old relic of the past. Definitely to avoid

Wow beg steal or borrow a cake from this fantastic French bakery it's my absolute fav place in London run there u won't regret it

a total joke... had the goats cheese and fig sandwich. seems like they forgot to add the cheese as there was only the smallest amount and overly sweet fig jam... for this price should we not expect more and also fresh figs? or is this acceptable ? service was with a smile but let down by the joke of a sandwich. for a few pounds more you are better off going a few minutes away to Paul bakery where they do a wonderful brie cheese baguette ( which has the cheese you can taste !! ) and other pastries made on their premises too offering much better value for money and also French quality.

Stopped after walking by and seeing the chocolate brioche bun. It was fantastic, light and airy.

One of the best almond croissants I've ever had! Friendly service.

I walked here each morning during our stay in South Kensington for coffee and croissants. Take away service was quick, with coffee made to order. My wife was happy to enjoy breakfast in our hotel room. There is a nice variety of baked goods and we loved everything we tried. The coffee was excellent too.

Good French bakery with soft buns and sweet meringue

Great customer service from Giulia, she is really the heart of this patisserie

I recently had the pleasure of visiting a French bakery and I have to say, it was an incredibly enjoyable experience. From the moment I walked in, I was blown away by how cute and charming the place was. The interior was beautifully designed with a touch of Parisian elegance, making for a truly delightful atmosphere. But the real star of the show was the baked goods. In particular, the chocolate brioche and meringues were absolutely amazing. The chocolate brioche was soft and fluffy, with just the right amount of chocolate to satisfy my sweet tooth. And the meringues were light and crisp, with a delicate sugary flavor that was simply divine. Overall, I would highly recommend this French bakery to anyone looking for some delicious baked treats. So if you find yourself in the area, be sure to stop by and try the chocolate brioche

For croissants, pain au chocolat and other baked French treats this is the place we love to go. We love our visits here and usually buy a selection of bits to eat then and for later on. Friendly staff and easy parking outside (single yellow line) on a Sunday.

delicious no doubt. no photo coz the bread already in my tummy

Absolutely delicious pastries made fresh on the premises. Prices are aligned with location but in general good value. 4 stars since only a handful of tables available inside tucked in a corner. It would be nice to have a bigger space to enjoy the marvellous food and drinks here.

Best French bakery in the area! Everything is freshly baked

Love the chocolate cramique, especially when freshly baked and still warm. The texture is so light and fluffy, delicious! The meringue dessert (merveilleux) are also nice and light, even though I am not the biggest fan of meringues, I quite like these :)

Good vibe, good coffee and good service, recommended

What a joke! Can’t pay by cash. If you’re tourist like me with the wallet full of pounds avoid this place. They don’t accept legal British physical currency only electronic version. Where this country is going 😒

One of my first obsessions when I first moved to London in 2015. The Incroyable is a classic and my new favourite is the Sans-Culotte. An easy decision any time I want to buy someone close a birthday cake - delicious, light and indulgent!

I go often to Aux Merveilleux de Fred for some takeaway treats and I have to say, I am always absolutely blown away by the quality of the baked goods. From start to finish, my experience was fantastic. The staff was incredibly quick and attentive, ensuring that my order was taken and processed efficiently. They were also very friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. But the real star of the show was the baked goods themselves. Everything I tried was simply fantastic - from the croissants to the pastries to the cakes, everything was expertly prepared with high-quality ingredients and a lot of care and attention to detail. The only thing to note is that Aux Merveilleux de Fred does not accept AMEX, so be sure to bring an alternative method of payment if that's your preferred option.

The brioche is great, but the meringue is too sweet.

My wife’s favorite(I also like it). We cannot walk by without stopping. Pastries are incredible as are the variety of Navettes. Service is always friendly and helpful.

Yum! Pastries were light and not heavy or doughy. Loved everything we had

Merveilleux with white chocolate was fantastic

I couldnt be happier to have a local place like this, always a friendly face and the best pastries in Town.

That the food is amazing - is one thing. It's always fresh and the most delicious you can find in London. But the service is what really makes a difference!!! The ladies that work there are so professional, so warm and always have a personal touch. It is really one of the best spots on anyone's list in West London. Well done. And thank you

Friendly staff. Nice meringues and good coffee. I expected availability of basic stuff like cutlery and tissues and better cleaning of the place though.
