Patisserie Angelique in Bournemouth

Has reopened after COVID and now there is Susi who is running it with her German delicacies, i.e. Prezel Buns with fillings which are lovely and gorgeous cakes, one of them being Poppyseed and Blueberries with a Chocolate icing which was so yummy with my delicious Flat White Coffee and all very reasonably priced. It is opposite Iceland in Westbourne open Monday to Friday. There is a little eating area at the back which is delightful in the warmer months.

Lovely welcome as came through the door. Nice seating. Music playing. I had a Filled Prezel Bun, German Poppyseed Cake with blackcurrants and 2 Flat White coffees. Everything really tasty and not too expensive.

Our work group all had a takeaway from Patisserie Angelique and the cakes are absolutely amazing. Would highly recommend to anyone visiting Bournemouth or anyone local. 10/10 guys thank you very much!

Wonderful, warm welcome and great coffee and pastries. Lovely garden at the back which is particularly nice on a summer's day.

Forget the rest. This is the best. Patisserie Angelique is not your bog-standard British patisserie. It is genuine. Unlike the overwhelming majority of the so-called patisseries in the UK, where all the products are made in some distant factory, all the exquisite pastries, cakes, wraps and croissants etc, are produced on-site at Patisserie Angelique by Phillipe Daniel. Phillipe is a French qualified pâtissier and glacier. His pastries are to absolutely to die for. Where else can you find that in the UK outside London? They even take commissions for bespoke cakes. In addition to the pastries etc you can also have a standard British breakfast. The frontage is not large but it goes back quite a way. An added bonus to the marvellous food is that Phillipe and Toby are a treat in themselves. They have a personal touch, friendly, relaxed and there is a slightly gallic atmosphere about the place; all of this is hard to find these days. Saturday morning is ‘Patisserie Angelique day’ for us – a coffee and a pastry. We would not miss a trip there on Saturday morning for the world. After a visit there you come away thinking that the world is a nicer place.

Two older guys were on duty on the Saturday morning we visited and I think they were a couple. One French and the other English they flirted with all of the patrons in a charming way and everyone was laughing and smiling. Our coffees were perfect and I had a tarte au cassis which was the best I’ve had in years. A Westbourne must!

Visited with my mum and son this morning and were blown away by the friendly service as we enjoyed pastries and coffee in the peaceful tea garden. The owner went out of his way to make my little boy feel special and breakfast here felt like a real treat. A perfect start to our day!

We were just passing by and a very friendly gentleman said that we should come in! Well why not? We are so pleased that we did. It was cosy and warm, it had interesting features, such as two trains running around their tracks. The cakes looked amazing but we had just had a large hotel breakfast so couldn't manage one. The cappuccino was delicious. However, most of all the ambience and the conversation with the proprietor and many of his customers were so fab. We will definitely go back when we are next in the area.

Dropped in here for cakes and coffee, all lovely, pleasant surroundings and good service, and not very crowded.

A lovely visit , coffee, tea cakes, and redcurrant flan was very nice very helpful and friendly staff, please do not pass by without going in for a sample

Yesterday we made our first ever visit, but I'm sure it will not be our last! The tea garden at the back is lovely, the coffee was good and the pastries delicious; we can thoroughly recommend the Tarte Amande and the Coffee Eclairs. As if the name were not enough, the continental charm was enhanced by the two delightful ladies who served us, one from Spain and one from the Czech Republic! We look forward to another visit for coffee next time we are in the area.

I was walking past this little place I just stopped to look at the menu and a charming chap who runs says to me great breakfast as he poked his head out. I thought I would give it a go, the restaurant is lively in its self and a little cozy but the amazing part was he said if you don't want to sit in here pop outside so I walked to the back and it was like Narnia a lovely little cubby hole out back complete with fountain water feature. The coffee and food is amazing but for sweet relief this little garden out back just made this for me. So happy to discover this and will be coming back

Have been here before several times for coffee and mille feuille which has always been very good ... but sadly this time visiting for lunch was disappointing. The croque-monsieur was not freshly made. In fact seemed stale! (and/or, possibly re-heated). Also the quirky train track above us was just plain annoying - never noticed it before as we’ve always chosen the outside seating (at back of cafe). Would return ... but only for the patisserie (and would definitely chose to sit outside to avoid the silly train noises).

Authentic French pastries - what’s not to like? It’s customers are mainly pensioners but it’s got a nice friendly feel and a good lunch menu It’s a huge improvement on the homogenised Starbucks et al

This place was so good we went twice in one day! Seemingly run by a French family, it had a certain flair that is hard to describe. I had some quiche and salad for lunch and it was delicious. I will have to come back to sample some of their other pastries. Such a nice change from the usual chains.

Pleasant place to go for a coffee and light meals. The french pastries are made fresh on the premises and are to die for. No parking.

This delightful cafe has a hint of France about it but is a relaxed place for coffee and a snack. A breakfast of scrambled eggs and smoked salmon on brioche was very sufficient. The staff are very friendly. Lots of nice pastries to take away. The loos are down a flight of stairs and there’s no lift. No parking of course unless you’re lucky on the street outside.

Whatever you order to eat and drink it's top notch. Easily the best cakes in the area and good coffee - difficult to find elsewhere.Friendly helpful staff and a lovely little garden at the back. I've been going for years and will continue. Highly recommended and appreciated.

Having visited twice this week I have to say how much we've enjoyed both the actual food and excellent team service.We also have taken away pastries yum yum.Breakfast today was lovely and it's good to be asked about any sauces required before the actual food arrives and being given pepper and salt millsEarlier in the week had a lite bite lunch guide, which was also great.Had good chat to Toby,and also the wonderful staff.Their attention was great without being intrusive, asking if everything was ok,and then clearing and asking if we fancied anything else.I noticed they do BYO and no corkage charge, although the coffees good!Looking forward to my next day off for another visit.

We popped in just before closing time, but still had good service ,not rushed and my moka cake was lovely.I know all the cakes are homemade so if we want a choice need to get there earlier or phone to reserve.

Though predominantly a patisserie, Toby and Philippe look to provide something for everyone. Philippe the pattissier makes the most fantastic cakes and pastries that really melt on the tongue. If you want some cakes for a special occasion, you cannot go wrong here.Toby is your host and he knows most of his customers by name. He is passionate about his customers and wants everyone to have a great experience. In addition to the cakes and pastries, they provide lunches and english breakfast. In addition to the regular items on the menu there are daily specials.All meals are prepared to order so though it can take a few minutes longer if always comes hot and fresh, like other establishment which tend to overuse the microwave.One of (if not THE) longest established cafe in town, for a good reason.

Popped in for quick drink as we were feeling rather hot, opted for a milkshake and after a rather long wait for it was really disappointed, just a drop of cold milk frothed up, Cakes looked rather nice though

Lovely back shaded terrace. Average tea and coffee. Excellent genuine French patisserie. All spoilt by very poor service. The place seems understaffed. Would return, but not in busy periods.

It is always a pleasure to visit this patisserie - although I think they are better for cakes then meals. Cakes sell out quickly but it is possible to phone ahead and ask them to put your favourite aside for you. It is so nice to see a genuine independent patisserie with great cakes and friendly service.

My friend and I visited for lunch. There is a good selection of light meals including quiche and croque monsieur. I would have tried the French onion soup but the weather was too hot! The pastries are lovely and such a good selection. My friend, who has visited France many times, said it was the best tarte aux pommes she had ever tasted. Quiche and pastries do sell out quickly.We sat outside on the terrace and they have made a great effort with the flowers in pots. The waitress was friendly and the service was good. The ladies toilet was very clean.We will definitely go again.

Good coffee, tempting pastries. Not one to visit when you are on a diet! Staff always pleasant and helpful.

This quirky patisserie offers lots of tasty offerings. Their chicken vol-au-vent is amazing as is their Black Forest gateau. In fact, all their pastries look scrumptious. They offer lite-bites either savoury or sweet. Some cakes sell out quickly as they are freshly made. Well worth a visit. Lovely coffee.

Waitress was lovely here but hopelessly overworked. We waited an absolute age for our dinner and four separate couples who came in after us received their food and had eaten and left before we had even got ours. When we did our giant vol u vent was tiny. We had 2 new potatoes. 3 carrot batons. 1 piece of broccoli. Very, very expensive for what was a tiny lunch. It was greasy and cold. Yuk. Not a visit to be repeated I'm afraid. Restaurant was cold but the loos were lovely and clean and staff were lovely.

Just a lovely little Patisserie, small frontage but when you enter the shop goes back a long way. Popped in with my Husband for a Coffee and cake one morning and have since gone back a few times now, the Cakes are exquisite, the Coffee beautiful and the whole ambience is friendly, clean and so welcoming. The owner Toby is such a nice guy and we noticed he speaks to everyone and always says goodbye when they go, his little dog who is so well behaved wanders around the shop and everyone knows him. This place is on the top of our list for the places in Westbourne for Coffee and cake along with Breakfasts and Afternoon teas.

If you want a cheap breakfast there’s always Wetherspoons. However if you want a fairly priced breakfast that’s cooked and served with real care then this fits the bill a treat.

Appearance of the restaurant and the menu give the distinct appearance of a true French bistro. However, the poor service and just acceptable quality of the food quickly destroys this illusion. The food is OK for the price but represents a quality that, unfortunately, was acceptable in the UK some years ago. The service was chaotic and slow although the staff were cheerful. On previous visits this location has always been packed. On this visit, a weekday lunch time it was nearly empty. I suspect our experience was not a one off but I have no proof of this.

This is a real gem. It’s surprisingly much larger than you first think, as it has a courtyard out the back in addition to the seating outside the front as well. The coffee is smooth and the hand made cakes, which are the creation of one of the owners, are delightful. The other owner is more front of house and will happily sit with you and pass the time chatting about whatever topic you like. Apparently, they’ve been in business for quite sometime and you get the feeling that the whole of Westbourne knows who they are, thus creating a relaxed and friendly atmosphere.

This is a bijou cafe. No visit to Westbourne is complete without a visit here.My favourite cake I'm not divulging as everyone will go for it and they'll be none left for me. The coffee's lovely. The outside courtyard small but tasteful.The cakes are all made fresh daily. There are other savoury offerings but I only go for the cakes!! The owners are very friendly. A chilled vibe. A little taste of France in a foreign field...

Was in Westbourne this morning and had a list of errands to fulfill. After I had accomplished them I needed something to eat and a coffee to go with it so I ambled into this restaurant (I had seen it when I moved down 6 weeks ago). I was greeted warmly and asked if I was taking away or eating in. I was definitely eating in.I noticed mouthwatering pastries but wanted a sandwich. The breakfast finished at 12 but it was 11.45 am so I asked for a bacon croissant which they had run out of so I had a bacon sandwich which was nice and tasty with a Machiatto. I spied a garden at the back which I will sit in the next time.Service was quick.Next time I will try a pastry.Plenty of seating too.

We've always been disappointed when Patisserie Angelique is closed for annual holidays, as we then struggle to find anywhere who makes cakes and pastries to their standard. After more than 20 years in Westbourne, their food remains in a league of its own.

This is a friendly coffee shop but we use it for desserts and cakes. You can order them pre-made and then use for a party. It's also impossible to walk past without popping in for cake to eat at home. Stunning!

One of the few places I don't mind going in on my own. Had avacado and prawn salad. Presented well, and tasted delicious. Good service and good value for money. Second visit in two weeks. Friendly staff.

First visit, nice people and place, unfortunately the baguette, although tasty, was far too small (6") when you consider how many portions you can cut from a French stick! We had scones to follow which tasted on the dry side and would have been better if they had been served warm. Can't comment on the other cakes which looked delicious as we didn't try them and I think a lot of people go for just tea and cake.

Hooray for good, strong decaf with real flavour! My husband's "normal" coffee was great too. The service was good and it was comfy, cosy and quiet. We didn't try any food.

We adore the French pastries, cakes and gateaux here, they are just wonderful. We find the other offerings less enjoyable, but ok.

Time was this was a 'proper' French patisserie that would have survived in France. No longer, with a much restricted choice and not quite the quality. Still a good alternative to the chains if you never went in its heyday. Good coffee.

The first time I came here, I was with my mother, who wanted to show me this great little cafe she had found, with fabulous cakes. She and I had really delicious cakes and left with a good impression of the cafe. Apart from the terrible art work on the wall! Lots of black and white photos- very arty, but who wants to eat decadent cakes whilst sitting next to a massive photo of a starving, homeless person sleeping rough?They could really do with changing the artwork on the walls!Back to the cakes.. the cakes are really good. The cream tea is rubbish - don't bother. Unfortunately, when I took my husband there, to show him how wonderful it was, it really wasn't. It was 4:30 and they closed at 5, but the staff were solely focused on closing up. There were no cakes, which is why we went for the cream teas. Mistake: mediocre scones, minimal (stingy) cream and jam. So, indifferent, disinterested staff, no cakes, dreadful cream teas. Quite frankly, I'm not inclined to give it a third try. There are other nice cafes in Westbourne and I'd rather go there.

The owner of this cafe is french and he makes wonderful cakes which are a delight to look at as well as eat. Basic lunches are offered between 12 - 2, the portions are on the small side and overall very bland. It is a pricey cafe, but you can take your own alcohol with no corkage charge. It seems to be popular with the elder generation who want a small lunch and nothing too fancy. There is an outdoor seating area for warmer days. The staff are friendly but always appear rushed. The coffee served is Lavazza which is bold and strong.

Patisserie Angelique has just started doing Fine Dining on certain nights of the week. The menu although not large has a choice of 2 starters, followed by a soup, then a choice of 2 main courses, followed by a palate cleanser then a choice of 2 desserts. We were a party of 8 and the food was served promptly and was flavoursome expertly prepared and cooked by their chef Christian Ørner. Everyone in our party enjoyed the food and there was a good atmosphere. he pric fo the 5 courses was great value for money. We certainly be going back again.

Best place for proper French patisserie in Westbourne but the coffee unfortunately doesn't match up. Still worth a try though.

We went to Angelique for lunch and ordered very simple food - sandwiches and salads. We waited a long time for our food. The waitresses apologised saying that the chef (the owner) was overrun. I find this surprising as most of the people in the café were just having drinks and cakes served from the counter and there were few diners who required food to be prepared in the kitchen. I actually felt sorry for the waitresses as they took the complaints from the customers yet it was the chef (who is the owner) who was responsible for the slow service. Also the food was very disappointing - basic and small. I wouldn't rush back here.

This is the second time my partner and I have visited the fine dining evening and once again we were impressed by the standard of both the presentation and the cooking; Chef Christian is a great cook. We were a party of six and each and everyone enjoyed the experience not only of the food but the lovely relaxed atmosphere. If you want fine dining at a reasonable cost of £30 for five courses this IS the place to visit. New menu being prepared for February - we are certainly going to give that a try!

Angelique is a patisserie by day and a restaurant which does fine dining several nights a week. There are 5 course if you include the palate cleansing course, and you take your own wine, which is a big plus-there is no corkage. The cost of the meal is £30.00 per head with a limited choice of food, but with a vegetarian option. All the food that we had was beautifully cooked, very fresh and hot; the main course being a choice of hake or guinea fowl which were both good. The parsnip soup that we had was delicious as were the starters and puddings. There could have been some bread with the soup which would have helped to bulk out the meal a little, but otherwise I couldn't fault the meal. I would recommend trying Angelique, I think you will be pleasantly surprised.

The new venture by this Patisserie is certain to be a great success. The excellent five course dinner, for a very modest sum, was superb and much to the credit of the Chef.The restaurant is intimate and very friendly. We came away having had a thoroughly enjoyable experience and will certainly be going back very soon.

Loved my chocolate cake and drink. Exactly what I needed and perked me up. Will def come back. Thanks

Truthfully this is a cute location but the food i had was anything but amazing. Avocado and prawn salad was so plain, the welsh rarebitt was equally simple.The coffee was just OK.

Whilst having only visited this Patisserie a couple of times, on each occasion I was served lovely coffee, a lovely pastry, and very pleasant service. I shall go again.

To be honest we usually go to another tea room which has always been our favourite. It was closed and we tried this delightful place. The girls serving at table were charming and there is a lovely sheltered out door space which is uncommon in westbourne. Lovely tea and pastries for a reasonable price and the lunch menu looked very inviting.

Had a wonderful cake and coffee here. The choice of cakes was amazing> The ones that we tried tasted wonderful too.

Just wonderful, go visit and enjoy!We stopped here for coffee and pastries, and found a lovely little walled garden at the back of the cafe, so relaxing. Amazingly friendly and attentive staff, and your order's taken at your table too. I had a chocolate eclair and I didn't want it to end!

Popped in to pick up some takeaway cakes yesterday, after noticing the tempting window display. We picked the macaroons and meringues. They are the best we have ever tried (and we have tried a lot, coming from a family of professional chefs and patisserie experts). Just made an extra trip into Westbourne right now to buy another boxful, I fear they are addictive! There are lots of great cafes in this little town, but do stop by, you will be delighted with what you find.

A wonderful selection of Cakes and Pastries unrivalled in Bournemouth. Excellent tea and the service is exceptional. For a chain it really does have the personal touch

Having met the owners on the beach a couple of days before we dropped by for morning coffee and cakes.Service is genial and attentive and whilst coffee is good the fresh cakes are excellent. We went through the cafe and sat outside at the back in a non smoking section, where we chatted to visitors and locals.A pleasant digression before returning to the high street and down to Marks & Sparks!

This was our second visit to patisserie Angelique and once again we were delighted , the coffee was delicious and the choice of cakes and pastries on offer were mouthwatering - the best I have seen outside Paris!I and my partner had a rum baba each and they were delicious .Well done to this lovely cafe ! I can't wait for my next visit

Patisserie and the cakes are superb we had a Non Autorise and a Mille Feuille served indoors or on the outside terrace area. Friendly and good quality and a high standard of cleanliness.

Table service by friendly staff, an outside area for sun and smoking, lots of specialities home baked. Pleasant and friendly and very clean.

Went in for a cooked breakfast - actually rather stupid as should have realised that the French do not do that sort of thing. Sausage and bacon really dry and probably cooked a day or two ago. Tomato and mushrooms had a bitter taste like fried in axle grease. Scrambled egg tasteless and runny. Baked beans great but hard to get those wrong. Toast was OK (no choice of bread offered) but just plonked on top of the food, not on a separate plate.Orange juice was a glass of ice with a sip of orange in there. Total rip off.

I had a very nice coffee and a pastry here. The choice is amazing, I really did not know which to choose they all looked so nice. Service was friendly and efficient. My only gripe was I asked for a large cappuccino but it was what I would call a small. A small must be very small.

Found the waitress to be very friendly and went out of her way to make us comfortable.This cafe has more to it than meets the eye on the high street. It has a garden room and a conservatory with outside heaters and a water feature.the prices are reasonable and the menu offers a wide choice of lunches hot and cold.An ideal meeting place for friends and colleagues at lunch time or coffee time/afternoon tea.I certainly will go back as places like this are few and far between

I have visited the cafe before and the freshly made food is always good unfortunately the mangeress could do with some training in customer service. It would be lovely if she smiled and whilst I had lunch she was training someone in a loud voice. Shame as the food is good.

The food here is excellent freshly prepared meals and Pastries to die for, all freshly made daily on the premises.The staff and owner always very warm and friendly,with good old fashioned service that makes this establishment so welcoming

We were exploring Westbourne and enjoyed a relaxing salad at Patisserie Angelique to fuel our 20,000 step anabasis. The patisserie sadly had to be restricted to two mini-eclairs. Fast service, good food and very helpful staff and proprietor

Pastries are very good, but enjoy the chocolate éclair. Nice little coffee stop. Selection changes daily.

I really can't understand what the carpers are complaining about! Frankly, if you go to a French pâtisserie to eat a full English breakfast, you have to be a bit stupid anyway — especially as there are other establishments nearby that specialize in that sort of fare!The cakes and pastries are delicious, and it is a realy bonus being able to enjoy one with a cup of tea or coffee in a relaxed (if rather cramped!) setting.Charming staff, with an endearingly human scattiness.I would certainly recommend this place wholeheartedly for their core products; I wouldn't go there for the other items, so can't comment on those.

Light meals and French pastries etc. I particularly like the fruit gateaux. Very welcoming and efficient.

What a shame this charming patisserie is declining on service.They have lovely coffee ( rare to find these days) and great little bites...love the macaroons..although of late getting smaller for the same price. Not a big cake eater so try to opt for a smaller sweet treat. Have been many times but their service is very poor lately. I am big on customer service and work in the industry. I would NEVER ignore a customer...just give a quick word to put them at ease if busy..with a smile. Last few occasions it has been lacking. Today walked out. Was overlooked service after having seated myself in their glorious conservatory for near enough 10 mins. Another couple came in and were served immediately...How rude...Makes you feel not very good as if you are not important enough. I made a comment and (normally nice/friendly) waiter snapped at me..saying I had not been waiting that long!!! Does that matter!!!I would have thought the point was that I was seated before the couple.Another time waiting to pay (at counter) was completed ignored whilst proprietors talking to clients...Poor waitrose running back and forth trying to please...

Had Lunch here today, lovely food & authentic French customer service. Sat outside in a wonderful eating area, an absolute delight & would recommend this place to anybody ! 😀

A bit dated in decor, with a repetitive and irritating door bell alert, but this only slightly distracts from the good food and good service of this cafe

I found myself in Westbourne early today and needed a coffee. I saw that this place was open and went in and ordered a coffee and croissant You sit in, out the front or in a nice terrace at the rear. Very friendlyAnd the coffee was excellent!Next time I'm in Westbourne this is where I shall stop

Lovely cafe, a terrace out back filled with flowers all well kept. A great selection of fresh cakes/patisserie and great staff.

Posto fantastico! Un piccolo angolo di Francia in Uk. Il titolare è gentilissimo, così come i camerieri. Le brioches sono sublimi, specialmente quella alle mandorle. Il caffè è decisamente buono, per essere in Inghilterra. La colazione qui, la mattina, è obbligatoria!

Great coffee, French waiter was very helpful & professional, Emmenthaler & ham baguette very tasty. But why no fresh orange juice? Pleasant little terrace out the back.

This place pretty much covers all tastes and I like sitting outside when its warm .., Not good for my weight but what the ****

went in for some of their scrumptious patisserie, but was let down by what they are doing at lunch time by serving roast dinners, fried fish, etc. which doesn't match their patisserie selection and the place ponged of greasy cooking. Please drop this ridiculous idea and go back to what you are good at. Not now recommended.

Always great coffee and pasteries here made on site by Philippe every day. They do excellent cakes to order. Will always be going back

Oh dear - what's happened? This used to be so enjoyable, and arranging to meet a friend here mid afternoon I was confident it would be good. Sadly, not so. The service was all over the place. We were badgered to order by several staff before we had even properly sat down - and then when we had ordered my friend had an interminable wait for a pot of tea let alone the Croque Monsieur she had ordered. (I had already drunk a large latte before her tea arrived and the food arrived even later) We reminded them twice about the order. When the food finally arrived it wasn't good. No one bothered to ask how the food was, either.Better service and food nearly everywhere else in Westbourne. I won't be going back.

I've got a bit of a thing about Macaroons at the moment, and the ones at Angelique are amazing, so delicious, never eaten in so can't comment on staff or ambience, but can rate the Macaroons and almond croissant - Scrumptious

Used to enjoy coming to this cafe when two Chinese lads were waiting there. They are long gone I think. Service was unfriendly and seemed almost to much trouble. Now the friendly atmosphere has changed. The cakes are nice but oh so samey. Plenty of other Cafes to enjoy in vibrant Westboune.

I came here on 40th Birthday where my family joined me and came to this place after a long journey. I had a fresh choux bun and coffee and another member had a quiche and we were impressed. Coffee was lovely, settings were great. The cakes were fresh and tasted like they were made in France. Service was great, we were served by Polish guy who was very pleasent and helpful. Loved the back part, real peaceful

Having walked into Bournemouth and just wanting something simple for lunch we spotted this establishment. My wife had one of their pastries and I opted for scrambled egg and smoked salmon. Both were good as was the service.

super lovely Westbourne patisserie with super lovely food and coffee and tea ,.Its a place you can to daily and be welcomed like a member of the family ! how this is so low on the rankings is beyond me

If you are looking for authentic french patisserie, stop looking, this is the place to go to!! I have been coming here for years, it has always felt like a home from home, and it is the place I go to when I feel nostalgic about France. Cakes and pastries are superb! If you have never been, YOU MUST VISIT THIS CAFE!!

Gorgeous French patisseries in the heart of Westbourne. Outside area is great in clement weather. Salads are delish.

Owner kept hovering over us. Kitchens not the best. "garden" is pretty although " orangery " was unstable surprised it passed building regs! food was overcooked, we will not be back.

Small frontage, but lots of room inside, plus a rear garden with dining under cover. Lunch specials range is good and high quality, and the range of cakes is superb too. Service is friendly and fast, so it's really hard to fault this lovely restaurant (disguised as a patisserie)

Well, it's not Patisserie Valerie, but worth a visit. Could do with an overhaul and bringing into the current day, but nice pastries.

I had been "let out" for the holidays! And shopping in Westbourne was the order of the day. Having arrived really early I was tempted by the window display or gorgeous looking cakes at Angelique and the fact that the sun was shining on the outside seating! A nice guy who turned out to be the owner welcomed me in, on his soap box about something so we had some banter, and I like that interaction with places I visit. So it was a good start...I ordered a croissant filled with scrambled egg and smoked salmon and a latte, both of which were lovely, the croissant clearly freshly prepared and delicious. This was early saturday morning and the clientele were obviously regulars. The owner was chatty to everyone arriving and leaving and clearly well known in the street. It seemed a really popular and well liked place. Im just glad I do not live nearby because I dont have enough will-power to say "no" to those gorgeous looking cakes!!

Friendly staff on the ball. Good choice of snacks and meals to suit any budget.We wisit quite often when in Westbourne.

What a super find! I had a very fluffy omelette, a big pot of tea and the pastries looked wonderful ... sadly not tried this time but I will go back next time I am in Bournemouth!Friendly service and I noticed great kindness shown to one of the elderly customers, (making sure his wallet was put away safely, coat button up etc..) which was lovely to see.

Really enjoy coming here for lunch. They do a mushroom and chicken vol au vent special that is to die for! Comes with new potatoes and veg.Staff always friendly and attentive.They have a small seating area outside at the back with heat lamps. Wonderful for spring/autumn lunch dates.

I pop along for a bowl of basil soup every now and then. The soup is freshly made and has a luscious consistency and topped with a dollop of garlic butter. Superb on cold grey days. This entitles me to savour one of the delectable french pastries also made on the premises. A slightly old fashioned atmosphere in a kind and gentile way.

I asked for a bacon sandwich, which was refused as it was 'Not on the menu', despite the fact two people at a nearby table were eating a full English breakfast.It seems for the staff and management of this eaterie, customer service is not on the menu.

Comi um quiche de vegetais delicioso!! Muito bom o ambiente e atendimento bom também! Não é caro, preço razoável!

Patisserie Angelique sells some really wonderful cakes and pastries. Everything is displayed well, tea and coffee are good, as is the service. There is a really cute tea garden at the back.I haven't eaten a meal here, as I have heard the food is nowhere as good as the excellent range of cakes.

A friendly place to stop for coffee and pastry, sit out the back on the terrace and sample the delights, you wont be disappointed
