Le Patissier Anglais in Cotswold

Procured a few divine looking cakes with crazy brother, and saw the last remaining quiche… O WOW! Quiche? It’s quiche ? Probably, no certainly the best quiche I’ve ever consumed. The balance, the texture, the flavour… quite amazing. Thank you

The pastries at Le Patissier Anglais are perfection. The lemon tart was exceptional. Arrive early for best selection.

We stopped in and got various pastries: leak and cheddar pie, lemon tart, etc. All were delicious. The owner, chef is humorous.

Will likely visit again if passing and in the area. Welcoming little place. Cute take away boxes. Pats looked all so tempting on display. Prices reasonable. Chatty owner. We then only chose a couple and he made a snap comment (-1*) which we all found amusing that he read and obvs misread. Unfortunately our tart split during the journey so didn’t get an appealing photo at home. Tasted nice and tart still, so maybe just a one off. Idk.

Le Patissier Anglais strawberry & raspberry fruit tarts were a gift from the owner of Rustique Country, just around the corner. Packaged beautifully in a gorgeous box, these pastries looked far too pretty to eat...but eat them we did and they were EXQUISITE--the best we've ever had! If you haven't been, this patisserie MUST be top of your list when visiting Stow.

Well what can I say? Such an amazing owner / chef. The best patisserie I have ever had. Michelin star can’t wait to go back again.

A friend took me here and boy their cakes and puddings are so so yummy. The owner himself is very friendly and very jovial too. We had a good laugh whilst he sort out our orders. My friend ordered loads for her friends too. What a lovely gift for your best friends. I believe this patisserie is very popular locally and you have to order in advance if you don't want to be disappointed.

We found this lovely Patisserie whilst visiting Stow. The cakes are freshly baked daily and are absolutely delicious. Reasonably priced and great customer service, we had a lovely chat with the owner.

If you need cake...well this is the place to visit. The cakes are so soft, moist and melt in your mouth. Really well priced too, in London the same quality cakes would easily be twice the price!

We have waited a good year to visit this place Having visited the local area several times we always end up missing out...Not today!! We walked in late afternoon and the owner was present, the main man himself, really happy to have met him What a true credit he is to the profession and I am so very happy he continues to show of his true passion and skill. The patisseries which he produces daily are simply divine...The passion and flair for his subject is second to none and this certainly shows in the quality of goods he bakes each and everyday Not many people like him with love and passion and I think he is a true gem and credit. We are grateful to experience the tastes and to have met such a wonderful person We always believe food will taste amazing from the way it looks and this is certainly true from what we have experienced today What a friendly man, we spoke at length about moving into the area, the prettiest village of Naunton, taking the plunge and his years of training in France and we are so lucky to have received excellent customer service.I want everyone reading this post to take the plunge and visit this shop and buy buy buy as you will not be disappointed with the amazing creations and flavours. We will definitely visit again. Honestly not many chefs display the enthusiasm or care as this man... Thank you so much for making our vacation a gastronomical experience (not to mention the fact we have just devoured 5 cakes between two of us...ooopsieee!!) We need to try the focaccia....the baked custard, the Black Forest thingy, the rhubarb and custard tart.... and more....we will be back later this week.....see you :-)

What a great local business! During a mini break we wandered past the shop and doubled back to look inside. So many delicious looking things with really knowledgeable staff who are clearly really passionate about what they do. We grabbed two frangipane tarts to take away, one plum, one fig although we were tempted by the whole range. Both delicious. We’ll definitely be returning next time we’re in town. Thank you!

Por recomendación de un ciclista entusiasta que ha andado en bicicleta de esta manera, visitamos Stow on the Wold en busca de esta encantadora pastelería.Compramos una deliciosa selección de pasteles que incluía milhojas, tarta de frangipane de higos, tarta de natillas, etc. y sin duda fueron los pasteles más deliciosos que hemos tenido y ¡volveremos antes de Navidad! !

What an absolute treat!! A must if you are visiting The Cotswolds. The best cakes and pastries I ever tasted in the UK. Including a specially made batch of Paris-Brest cakes.

Recientemente ordené una Tarte Tropezienne para disfrutar con algunos amigos franceses de visita. Fue absolutamente delicioso y con una excelente relación calidad-precio. Nuestros amigos franceses lo disfrutaron tanto como nosotros y no pudieron ser lo suficientemente elogiosos.¡Muchas gracias, Carl y esperamos con ansias la próxima entrega pronto!

Very accommodating in organising cakes ordered by my daughter in Cheshire for her Dad's birthday, collected by Mum. I like this place.

Maravillosa colección de tentadora pastelería característicamente francesa hecha todos los días por Carl para comer o para llevar después de probar su espléndido café. También te hará llevar platos cocinados a la orden. Ha vivido en Francia y ha aprendido mucho de Albert Roux. Carl te mantendrá entretenido con su fondo de reminiscencias y le encantará escuchar tus propias historias de Francia. Tiene tiempo para todos los que entran en su tienda única. Celestial.

We had a lovely time drinking coffee and eating patisserie and chatting to the proprietor. Very friendly and great food. Very entertaining conversing with other customers popping in as well.

Wow ... would definitely agree with the previous posts. Lemon meringue tart and cream Miulle fuille. Carl was so hospitable. Had coffee too , nice and hot. Had to get 2 more cakes to take home too.... 😁

Just moved to the area and paid a first visit to Le Patissier Anglais today. The Custard Pie and Millefeuille were out of this world! Can't wait to go back and sample other things. Thanks, Gary and Bev

Fantastic cakes (though “cakes” seems an inadequate description). Beautiful looking but without sacrificing looks for taste. Wish we could have visited more. How one person makes all of this, then talks enthusiastically to people all day, is beyond me.

Wonderful cake/desserts that melt in the mouth served with a very good capucinno. Service is friendly and very helpful. Perfection!

Bueno, mi esposa y yo estábamos pasando por Stow y decidimos que teníamos que entrar de otra manera, de lo contrario sabemos que nos habríamos arrepentido unas millas más adelante.

Tropezó con este diamante de una pastelería mientras pasaba por Stow. Fue una absoluta delicia ver las creaciones de pastelería y pastelería. Sabían divino. Creo que mi marido se habría quedado encantado durante horas. El café estaba recién molido y fue el mejor que he probado. Un crédito absoluto para Carl, volveremos.

A chance encounter with a Stow resident led us to Le Pâtissier anglais, which was a real revelation.

Happy to find Le Parissier Anglais. We had a great welcome from the owner and enjoyed the cakes that were lovingly made together with a welcome cuppa.

What can I say about this amazing little shop. The cakes, tarts and well al the treats baked on the premises not only looked amazing but our chosen delights did not disappoint. DO call in if you do nothing else passing through Stow. The little cake boxes in which your cakes are carefully places are works of art as well to save and keep.

Supreme quality patisserie,creative ,hand crafted...do not miss this hidden gem if you are visiting the Cotswolds .

Amazing patisserie. The cakes are incredible, stunning to look at and to taste. A real artist, and very lucky to have in the Cotswolds

We can’t call ourselves regulars but we have had a few cakes from LE PATISSIER ANGLAIS in stow on the wold. We tend to try a different one each time we visit and every one has been top notch. We have even had a birthday cake made, that was also excellent. We like to get Carl to describe every cake in detail even though we’ve already chosen one on entry. The hot chocolate is very good. Highly recommended.

On recommendation, we ordered a cake for 12 for an 80th birthday party two days before Christmas and a dairy free alternative for one. Both were fabulous, and very reasonably priced based on what I was expecting to pay for the artistry and thought that went in to them. Would highly recommend and if only we lived closer, we’d be regulars. Thank you for helping make the party perfect.

Cakes and coffee are nice. Been a few times. One of the many places in stow on the wold we enjoy. 4 stars for sure.

My family live in Stow-on-the-Wold and we are regulars. The desserts are exceptional and Carl is a wonderful host. We order large desserts when we have friends and family over and are never disappointed- always a show stopper! :)

I now visit Carl and his wonderful Patisserie once a week for a coffee and hand made delicacies. beautifully made and melt in the mouth...sheer indulgence!

Bought cakes to take away this visit black currant mouse deliciously fruity not bitter like blackcurrant can be & silky smooth

Return visit to this charming little 'heavenly dessert and cake' experience in the Cotswold. The chef is as charming as ever. The cakes and hot chocolate were just perfect. Will be back!

Visited on a busy Saturday morning with my husband and daughter. We were greeted in a very welcoming manner , had a lovely chat about Amsterdam and Greece and the pastries were so good that we took more home to have for tea !

Visited today with my husband after seeing such good reviews - they did not disappoint!! We shared a white chocolate and raspberry mousse cake and a dark chocolate dessert with gold leaf. Both were out of this world. The Owner was lovely and took time to chat to us, recommending places in the local area to visit and eat. Cannot recommend this highly enough, cant wait to go back tomorrow!!

Best Cakes etc that I have eaten in a long time, can't wait for our return visit at Xmas to sample some more.

Discovered this delightful little place on a day visit to Stow on the Wold. All the cakes, pastries and quiches are made by the owner Carl, a very talented and friendly young man. My husband had a custard tart and I had a lemon meringue tart , both of which were extremely delicious. Everything can be boxed and taken away or you can of course stay and eat on the premises over a lovely cup of tea or coffee and an interesting and amusing chat with Carl.

We went in just for a quick cup of tea, but the cakes were so tempting we couldn't resist. The proprietor was very friendly, sharing local knowledge and tips on places to go. Dog friendly too!

Very friendly and welcoming place, fantastic cakes and coffees. Owner is enthusiastic and passionate! Highly recommend!

We stumbled across Le Patissier Anglais online when we ordered a cake for our daughter’s birthday before our arrival in Stow. The owner Carl not only made an amazing cake, but he delivered it to our hotel before our late arrival. When we went to thank him the next day, we learned that delicious pastries were just part of the charms of his shop. The pastry shop consists of a single room, where he makes the pastries in full view. This is a real bakery — the pastries are all made onsite, by the owner, using ingredients delivered to the shop from local suppliers — and we tried treats right out of the oven. Carl was incredibly friendly, funny and helpful with suggestions for our visit. He seemingly knows every one in the area, and every suggestion he made for our visit was a winner. We ended up stopping by every morning before our daily adventures to say hello and try another treat. Thanks Carl for being a highlight of our trip!

Having been told how I should drink my coffee and having pots banged about I sat feeling very uncomfortable and unable to drink the coffee that had been made for me. If you don’t want people to sit in for a coffee don’t offer it. Don’t worry I won’t be returning, much as the cakes looked delicious I couldn’t have eaten one if I’d tried. Good manners cost nothing, but the bitter taste of poor service will last a very long time.

Walking around the Stow i saw fantastic pastries in the window and decided to buy few. Eating them at my daughter's house i felt like in the heaven :) They were divine as well as a birthday cake my son in law ordered here for my daughters birthday few days later.

Carl the owner has a flair for divine pastries, quiche etc. I so wish I had found him earlier, but our time spent with Carl was delightful. Nothing but wonderful food.

Truly great cakes are served up with a warm welcome, accompanied by dog-walk advice, pub recommendations and even impromptu wine tips when we bumped into Carl in the local wine merchants! Is there no end to this man's talents?

Passing through Stow and called in for a coffee, expecting the all too familiar CostaPreta froth to go with the obligatory granola or muffin. Not a bit of it! The coffee was sublime, the focaccia was simply superb and the patisseries on offer ( all of them created by the lyrical owner) were light yet filling, sweet but not sugary. In short, a great establishment, an engaging experience and a credit to its extremely talented owner/baker. I shall return. Keep up the bon travail monsieur.

We stopped for pastries twice at Patissier Anglais - it was a nice change from the typical English teas (which I am by no means disparaging). Very good chocolate confections and fruit tarts.

We stopped by Stow on the Wold, on our last day in England, when we walked past Le Pastissier Anglaise. The chef there was ready to explain every cake in the cabinet with such passion and enthusauim, you could tell he loved what he did! we had the Tiramisu and the chocolate Eclair and it was delicious! He not only was super friendly in talking about cake and his work, but he was also so helpful in recommending spots for us to visit with out time in the Cotswolds! His recommendations were so worth it too! Thank you, for your amazing cake! We loved it!

WOW! my 2 grown kids and I went to England and France, 5 days each and the BEST FRENCH BAKERY we found was a little place on the square in Stow-on-the-Wold, in England. Carl makes amazing pastries. He is a great host, who explains his wonderful creations as you shop. I can't enough about how good his pastries are. We, actually, talked about turning around on our drive, about an hour after leaving Stow. If you go to the Cotswolds...go to Le Patissier Anglais and visit Carl. He is a champion baker.

Here is a place where the English owner is the patissier. The cakes are simply the best , and we came to stow again today with a view to making a pilgrimage to this venue. About ten or so kinds of cake are made and they are works of art, almost too pretty to devour...but we did! At about £3.25 a cake they are a bargain! Today there were little passion fruit mousse cakes, little lemon meringues with thin crispy bases, sharp lemon and a torched but soft and pure meringue. Heavenly. My husband ate a pear and almond tartlet and there were also ones with rhubarb, as well as a bombe made of blaccurrants and blackberry. All looked divine.Fresh quiche is made daily along with brioches, and when they are gone, that is it.! Come early or phone ahead to reserve something. The patissier also does canapés and dinner parties to order....if I lived here I would use this service.

What a great experience. Made fresh daiky, a wide choice of patisserie,. Very friendly atmosphere, coffee and tea as well, if you wish. Delicious

Visiting Stow for the Cheltenham Festival and bimbling about the town in search of a set-me-up-for-the-day coffee I wandered into Le Patissier.

We have been here a couple of times now and enjoyed your different mouse creations

Delicious quiches and patisseries. They have to tried to be believed. A little bit of France in the Cotswolds.

Popped in whilst on holiday on a damp afternoon but warmed straight away with the welcome we recieved , Proper hot chocolate and the coffee my wife had was one of the nicest cups she has ever tasted. Well the patissier,s were 5 star,my wife had passion fruit mousse and I had raspberry and almond tart, they were both sooooo light and tasty, the owner was a delight to talk to and we will return before the week is out.

We popped in the small anglais patisserie with our daughter and had a really nice conversation with the owner. Talking about "god and the whole world" (we would say in german) and especially about patisserie tools. It was very funny and interesting.

My wife and I popped in for a coffee. This shop being the only one I was able to access in my wheelchair. We were served by a man who gave me a nasty look for moving a bench to get my wheelchair up to the table. Then gave us both a nasty look when we didn't buy pastries. He was miserable and rude! I will not be going back. I have enough problems without being made to feel I'm not good enough for his shop.

We weren't hungry but the pastries patisserie chef Carl displayed on the glass case were simply impossible to ignore. It's one thing to taste something delicious, it's another to savour food (cakes, pastries and bread, in this case) so lovingly created and proudly served. Highly recommendable.

Stow on the Wold has an abundance of coffee shops and tea rooms but Le Patissier Anglais is a real gem. It may be small but it is absolutely perfect.

Made the most of the beautiful summer weather today with a drive up to the beautiful Cotswolds.

The small patisserie, reminiscent of ones in France, offered beautifully designed desserts with creative touches and great taste, all innovative and a breath of fresh air to the usual fare offered in all restaurants and bakeries. The owner was friendly and affable and we loved to chat and find out about his extensive background leading up to owning his own shop where he does everything from scratch using all local products.

We came across Le Patisserie Anglais whilst visiting Stow on Wold and I'm so pleased we did. The guy that runs the cafe is lovely, the food was beautiful and delicious. If I lived here I would come all the time.

A little bit of Paris in Stow-on-the-Wold! We enjoyed an excellent double espresso and a perfectly made cup of tea alongside a selection of beautiful little desserts/cakes. Lovely venue, friendly host. Reasonably priced. Worth a visit.

This patisserie is one of a kind--the pastries are delicate, the texture smooth, the flavors intense. We were so taken with quality of the quiche and the desserts that we visited this shop three times. An added plus is the personality of the chef, warm and inviting, chatty and fascinating with an impressive background in fine dining. An experience not to be missed.

Every town should have an authentic cake shop like this!

What amazing pastries. We shared one but given more time, we could try the full range of delicate pastries and cakes made on site. It was great friendly service too. Worth detouring to buy for later.

We stopped here for a bite to eat on a lovely day just because of the tables outside and were blown away by the quality of the quiche and patisserie available. The leek quiche was to die for and we'll pop back in again soon.

A high quality tea room where all the food is made on the premises and is cooked every day before the patisserie opens. Wherever possible all the ingredients are sourced locally by the owner who is proud of this fact and takes great pride in his baking. Initially we wanted a hot drink and had drinking chocolate which isn't made with cocoa powder but with chocolate, and it is delicious. We took out a quiche and a blackberry & almond pastry. We returned a couple of days later and did the same. In future whenever we visit Stow we will always visit this patisserie for our morning sustenance.

I have missed a couple of months visiting Carl due to work travel. This week reminded me how brilliant he is, both as a person and as an outstanding chef.

We visited Le Patissier Anglaise during our weekend trip to Cotswolds to celebrate my husband's birthday. I spoke with the owner Karl a day in advance over the phone and he advised that by the time we reach late in the afternoon, most of the desserts get sold out. He very kindly informed us of the next day's menu and offered to keep our chosen desserts aside until we arrive. We tried their Tiramisu and Dark chocolate Mousse cake. Both desserts were fabulous, especially the dark chocolate mousse cake was definitely one of the best I've had.

Always visit this charming place when we come to our cottage here in Stow . Pastries are sublime it's always a special treat to visit this lovely patisserie . The owner is always welcoming . We will be going there this week can't wait !

Stopped in for breakfast. We love a good espresso, and were not disappointed. Had the mushroom quiche which was sublime. Beautifully prepared. Spent time chatting with owner who makes all the pastries, and food. He is a very friendly, hard working gentleman, who loves presenting the french classics. Will be back next time I'm in town.

We popped into this patisserie twice and absolutely loved the pastries. On the first day it was raining cats and dogs outside so we had a hot chocolate to warm up. It was divine. Made with real chocolate. Mmmm. So we had to go back and have a second one a few days later.

As a resident of Stow finding this place has become my delicious downfall. I'm averaging three visits a week for my French fix and as a self confessed coffee snob I can say that's also up to same standard as everything else.

If I get there early enough then the quiches are delicious otherwise it will just have to be a brioche, pancetta or a desert

Excellent selection of freshly baked cakes and desserts. Loved the passion fruit dessert which was lite and refreshing but the tiramisu was heaven on a plate. Fantastic bakery.

if you like french homemade on the day cakes and quiches with some good coffee this place is worth the visit. Friendly yet unpretentious this patisserie knows his craft and if you are unlucky he made me sold out before the day is over!

The cakes here are worth forgetting all about your diet for! The owner has made his special birthday cakes for me and you really need to try one as far better than any birthday cake you can buy in shops. The owner is always very pleasant and has gone out of his easy to get me out of a sticky situation where I got the day wrong that I needed the cake! I was not let down and it was freshly cooked and decorated in 6 hours. I highly recommend you try here for a cake, you will not be dissapointed. Thank you so much for once again putting yourself out and saving my day. The cake was just so delicious, I cannot wait for the next birthday!

Having previously read reviews about this patissier we just had to try it whilst on holiday. We certainly weren't disappointed. From the friendliness of the owner to the scrumptious selection of patisserie on offer it was a fantastic treat. The attention to detail is outstanding and after having 2 selections with excellent coffee we had to return the next day to sample another 2 creations. We were even treated to an exclusive table out on the pavement. A must visit.

Stumbled upon this little gem yesterday and swooned over the lemon meringue and the coffee - absolutely superb. Had to return later to buy some pastries to take home. Had a lovely chat with the creator of these delights about our shared memories of Coventry. Shall definitely return. Well worth a long detour for any pastry lover!

Carl creates masterpieces, accompanied by a warm welcome. Le Patissier is a joy to have on our doorstep.

Freshly baked every day, Carl's patisseries are a delight especially with a lovely cappuccino! Really worth a visit.

イギリス人のパティシエールが一人でやっているカフェです。ケーキやパイのテイクアウトのほか、店内でいただくこともできます。

Welcoming friendly owner serving excellent coffee and the most amazing cakes. They are a thing of beauty, all perfect and a feast for the eye. Freshly made daily by the lovely owner the only down side is trying to decide which to eat. Savoury food is also available...but I've never got past the sweet stuff :-)

Every time I go here the desserts, especially the mousse are second to none. Even better, the forcaccia takes just like it does in Italy, something you very rarely find in England. Great service from owner. Would definitely recommend

Yum,yum,yum made to order perfection. This was not our first visit , or our second, and it will certainly not be our last. There are cakes and there is Le Patissier Anglais

Found the shop by mistake one time visiting Stow. Excellent cakes. Now we make a detour if we're driving nearby just to get some more! Outstanding!

Delicious, fresh patisseries in a contemporary cafe. Competitive pricing. The absence of a step into the cafe was a bonus for someone pushing a wheelchair. Highly recommend.

Carl is undoubtably a genius. He makes the classic desserts with a lightness of touch and fullness of flavour that would be hard to top in France or Belgium. We have spent many happy times discussing baking, flours, temperatures and flavours while having a coffee. Or, just grabbing 4 different samples to take home (2 is never enough).

Great service with a smile and yummy treats. Worth a visit. If only it was closer to home! A great addition to any dinner party if you want to cheat.

What a great discovery! These pastries are as good as anything I've had in France and how refreshing to see it here in the Cotswolds! Definitely worth a visit.

We called into Stowe on our journey home and had a walk round the Square. Looking for somewhere for a coffee we came across Le Patissier Anglais. A very friendly reception from the owner who told us he arrived at 5am each day to prepare his pastries. Both the coffee and the pastries were absolutely excellent. There can be very few establishments in the UK which approach the same quality in my opinion. Very much worth making an extra effort to visit Le Patissier Anglais and enjoy the experience - and be prepared to want to take a box of extra pastries home with you.

My daughter and I had a wonderful day in the cotswolds. Tea in Broadway and the picturesque scenery of the village of Little Slaughter and the cotswolds in general is something to behold.

This is certainly my favourite place to visit in Stow-on-the-Wold. Chefs' creations are exquisite, each pastry hand-made that morning in his small and unpretentious shop. He is obviously incredibly well trained and a true artisan who is always very welcoming and loves to discuss his skilled work with his customers. It's very clearly a cake shop of the highest order and there are plenty of oily cafe's in Stow that would oblige the last reviewer. I'd like to thank Chef for bringing a little piece of Paris to the Cotswolds.

We called in for coffee and sampled two different pastries which were superb. We also took two more home plus a couple of savoury quiches which were also excellent. It has only been open for a couple of months but certainly offers the best and tastiest pastries and cakes we have had in Stow. Really excellent!

Earlier reviews have been spot on! We were only looking for a cup of coffee but how lucky that we keep walking around and chanced across Le Patissier Anglais. The low key décor is irrelevant. The quality of the pastries is so high that nothing else is important. The friendliest and chattiness of the proprietor and the obvious love he puts into his craft make the experience even more memorable. Nothing beats top class training and expertise which shines through.

We stumbled on Le Patissier Anglais whilst staying in Stow, and it immediately became a regular coffee stop!

Most unexpected to find such an excellent patisserie in a Cotswold Market Town. The cakes and pastries are all excellent, well presented and delicious. I have only bought pastries and quiches to eat at home, but it is possible to sit down with a cup of coffee and eat in situ. Bespoke cakes can be ordered for special occasions and for celebrations. I have ordered several cakes to date and my guests and I have been delighted with the results. Always a cheery welcome from the proprietor and it is a delight to shop at 'Le Patissier Anglais'.

My family and I agreed that the pistachio mousse we tasted today was exquisite. This is world class patisserie. We wish you every success and hope that your products reach as wide an audience as possible. Not seen anything as good as this anywhere else in the Cotswolds.
