Banette

Decent variety of French style foods which compliment well with a coffee.Fast service, friendly staff, excellent location and a very clean, minimal aesthetic. Perfect meeting place.The indoor seating is limited but also includes power sockets for laptops and USB ports for smartphones and tablets.

We visited here after following the signs up from Riverside Drive. Located along Montague Road, with a choice of indoor or outdoor seating under the footpath awning. Fast and friendly serivce with a range of pastries and rolls. All looked good, we chose health slice" plum pasteries. Good coffee

Their product is very good. Great croissants. Good coffee. Good eclairs. Good bread. But, unfortunately, FOH staff let the place down. And they are not like the friendly staff (nor a reflection of the charming and affable manager) at the Rosalie store. Here, they are quite inefficient - especially on coffee. And the terminally miserable bloke working here makes it a chore to visit. A smile is not too much to ask. Suggestion to owner, with the vast competition along Montague road, and the fact this store appears only to ever be just busy enough, I would think bringing some of the professional French hospitality and charm from the Rosalie store to this location would be instrumental for survival. Perhaps a little staff swap for a while might be a good idea.

We bought a 12-pack of mixed cakes and a 24-pack of mini donuts for three people in our office celebrating birthdays. The service and staff were lovely and the cakes and donuts amazing. Our whole office wanted to know where we’d bought them, so I’m sure it won’t just be me who’ll be back.

The coffee I had here was very good. The pastry for the quiche was nice and flaky. The pink crockery is very pretty.

A very disappointing experience.I stopped in for lunch as I haven't returned since January. I thought I'd repay a visit but after this experience, unfortunately I won't be returning.The customer service was extremely poor and the staff were very rude.The coffee was one of the worst I've had. It was really burnt.On the other hand the food was okay, but still over priced.

Highly recommend! The perfect sweet for my Mother’s Day the pastry is cooked beautifully and so fresh!
