Tasty Pastries

Name: Citron Vert avec Biscuit Noix de Coco
Seller: Patisserie Mottier Vincent
Rating: I'm in Lime for more (8.0/10)
Review: A coconut and lime meringue with a green jello-like coating, and an extra burst of coconut in the center. You really need to like lime for this one as it's the dominant flavor, followed by sweet coconut notes. The biscuit crust is crumbly and lends a nice base.
Citron Vert avec Biscuit Noix de Coco
Name: Crème à l'Orange
Seller: Patisserie Mottier Vincent
Rating: Orange-tastic (8.5/10)
Review: A light, creamy treat with a nutty cake base, a flavourful orange coating, and a hazelnut chocolate centre. This confection is the perfect balance of light and sweet, especially if you’re a fan of cheesecake-like cakes and orange flavouring.
Crème à l'Orange
Name: Éclair au Café
Seller: Patisserie Mottier Vincent
Rating: Eclair-rific (7.0/10)
Review: A delicious coffee-flavoured-cream-filled pastry. As far as eclairs go, this was a tasty treat, so long as you're a fan of coffee. However, the coffee flavouring did become a bit rich by the end, so make sure to eat it with a refreshing beverage.
Éclair au Café
Name: Pain au Chocolat
Seller: Patisserie Mottier Vincent
Rating: It's choco-lit (8.0/10)
Review: A classic pain au chocolat. This pastry was baked to flaky perfection and had just the right amount of chocolate filling. We recommend heating it up for a few seconds in the microwave for added goodness.
Pain au Chocolat
Name: Pastry aux Pralines Roses
Seller: Patisserie Mottier Vincent
Rating: Muffin' compares (9/10)
Review: A muffin-like pastry filled with pink, candied pralines. We believe this was a special treat only made by our favourite baker during Easter, but we wish she made it all the time!
