Before Christmas, I went to Fait Maison for brunch and Christmas treats. I had previously eaten here in February for a late lunch (Lunch at Fait Maison, Gloucester Road), but I had never had brunch. The menu is French-inspired for a middle-eastern twist, and there are three branches in London. The one near Gloucester Road station is the easiest one for me to get to, so this was the branch I visited. I also visited during the summer in order to see their floral display on the shop front, and I posted these photographs at the bottom of the post.
I had the French toast for brunch, and this came with maple syrup, fresh fruit, and chopped almonds.
Fait Maison are one of London's prettiest cafes with a selection of beautifully-designed cakes and pastries and decorated with florals to match. For Christmas, the theme was brightly-coloured candy and candy canes amongst the flowers.
Their afternoon tea looks gorgeous as well, as you can see in the image below.
A photograph of a few of their pastries and cakes, inculuding an almond tart. All look delicious but too-good-to-eat.
I had a candy cane cupcake, which was cocnut and vanilla; I took this one home with me.
I had the little reindeer sponge, which was super-cute. I think it was a vanilla with a hint of toffee or salted caramel.
As promised, the summer shots are below with the whole cafe covered in pastel pink, blue, purple, and cream flowers...
...and a selection of floral pastries to match.
I recommend a visit, but do bear in mind that sometimes their payment machines do not appear to work, so you need to ensure that you have cash on you. And there's only a couple of cash machines in the area, and they tend to also not work all of the time. So, make sure that you have plenty of cash with you.
