A really lovely loaf of focaccia!

I like how they spiced things up a little by adding truffle into your traditional focaccia flavours of garlic and rosemary. It worked out surprisingly well because the truffle smell and taste were subtle - you can smell it but it doesn’t overpower the scent of garlic and rosemary and the taste comes through almost as an aftertaste. Even when I heated it up in the oven for a few minutes, I still smelled garlic and rosemary before the truffle hits you.

I also enjoyed the full chunks of garlic in this, which were soft and sweet. They added a layer of texture and definitely extra flavour.

I ate mine with a slab of slightly salted butter on top, which was just excellent! It also paired well dipped into some extra virgin olive oil.

Definitely one to grab if you’re wondering what to get from Maison Sucrée!

Easily my favourite pastry from the bunch I tried at Maison Sucrée this morning.

Chocolate puff pastry AND chocolate chips? Yes please! I heated this up in the oven for a few mins and it came out super flaky and crispy while the chocolate chips had melted just enough to get that gooey texture.

Despite being double chocolate, this wasn’t overly chocolate-y (but I do love chocolate so I wouldn’t mind it if it was anyway). It wasn’t overly sweet either, as the bitterness from the dark chocolate helps to balance out the flavours.

Could have easily finished this off myself if I didn’t have 6 other items from this bakery to try at breakfast! This is the item I would come back for again and again.

Doughnuts that live up to the hype!

This is a box of 6, where my aunt picked 5 Cinnabombe and 1 Basil Cream & Rhubarb.

I really liked the Cinnabombe because it was simple yet hit the spot as a sweet treat. It’s light and fluffy on the inside, so you can really indulge and have a full one (or two!), and the exterior is coated in cinnamon sugar, which wasn’t overly sweet. This tasted lovely both at room temperature and heated up in the oven.

The Basil Cream & Rhubarb was a slightly heavier dessert, as they really do not skimp on the cream filling. Unfortunately, the one I got missed out on its shot of rhubarb jam, so we only tasted the basil cream, which I found refreshing. When I posted a cross section photo of said Basil Cream & Rhubarb doughnut, the team at Sourbombe were quick to point out that it didn’t have the rhubarb jam in it, which would explain why I didn’t taste any rhubarb. Their customer service was great and they apologised for this but I enjoyed it nonetheless!

Would definitely try more flavours in the future, but will be sharing the filled ones, as they are a more filling treat vs the Cinnabombe.
