amazing array of cakes and pastries, deciding on what to have is always agreatdifficulty! today i had the salted caramel eclair and also some macarons.

lovely. i have been buying their cakes for many years now and they never fail to impress. it's also agreatplace for coffee & cake (seriously, the single serves are worth it just for the presentation alone - an exquisite miniature version, much nicer than your standard slice you'd get elsewhere), the staff are friendly, the decor luxurious yet cosy, and the pastries to die for (must try the almond croissant!)
just great!

sweets are amazing. clean bright place to visit.greatlocation under tree in middle of city. staff always seem under trained. often stressed and forgetting orders. culture of staff seems unhelpful though adds to experience...you have to put up with this to get access to the amazing pastries!! coffee pretty good.

le bon choix queen street was spacious, offering both inside and outside seatings. it has a glass case right beside the cashier that displays all the visually appetizing cakes.

for the sweets, i ordered the eclair, tiramisu, and miroula. all of them looks pretty and tasted great; it had the right amount of sweetness. however, the cakes did leave a heavy aftertaste, which was rather unpleasant.

for the savoury, i tried the mushroom quiche and the beef meat pie. both hadgreattexture; the crunchy and flaky outer layer, yet easy to cut. taste-wise, they were okay, but not overwhelmingly amazing.

overall, a nice place to have quick bites and nicely decorated cakes. might come back in the future to try out other menus offered.

good friendly service. not a crazy amount of selections but the quality is super good.greatfor morning brunch or a perk me up otw to work meal. the breads may look hard on the outside but are extremely crunchy and soft on the inside

a lovely little cafe in a relaxing part of the cbd. whilst the coffee is not amazing (but it is still decent), that's not really why i go there. the quiches are delicious -greatpastry! the cakes and assorted desserts are to die for. i get my occassion cakes here for family and friends and they are always loved. i strongly recommend the strawberry tart.

great food andgreatcoffee. had a chicken sandwich and it was really good and huge, could have saved it for dinner. only disappointed with the so famous donut, too sweet for taste. but overall really good experience.

a colleague and i stopped into le bon choix this morning and i walked out with a box of almond croissants (for lady meatball and to share with the office) and pain au chocolat (for mini meatball and to share with the office) as well as a full cream latte.

the almond croissants and pain au chocolate weregreatand bought me quite a bit of goodwill in the office.  both baked goods rated a 4.  the coffee was also surprisingly good - it too rated a 4.

at this stage, i think this store has overtaken the racecourse road (ascot) location due to its size, quantity and variety of products offered.

le bon choix remains a favorite of the meatballs family - especially if we can't get to new farm for the almond croissants at chouquette.

we hit le bon choix every couple months because my wife absolutely loves the almond croissants. my daughter likes the pain au chocolat and i like to pick up a baguette or boule to bring home. coffee is pretty good as well. i rate the hamilton location slightly higher for ambiance.

amazing. fantastic pastries, tarts, and desserts. wonderful breads. best ham and cheese croissants we've ever had - recommend bringing them home when you have guests and putting them in the oven.greatcoffee,greatatmosphere. can't recommend enough. very disappointed that you have to pre order a brioche loaf we were told. it's so popular you'd think you would have then in stock!!

the overall atmosphere of this restaurant is very comfy and clean, i like it very much.  i ordered a pie, cake and an almond croissant.  the pie and cake is really nice but i found the almond croissant is too sweet.  definitely a dessert shop i'll recommend and this will be agreatdating spot!!

cute little patisserie in the brisbane cbd. nothing too special but agreatarrange of cute cakes and treats. the service was hit and miss with mine being served in a box and everyone else's on a plate.

just perfect.
friendly staff, amazing coffee. a wonderful little gem in brisbane cbd. cakes are wonderful as are the sandwiches.greatservice.

perfect place to find a high-end dessert, cake or treat. especiallygreatfor a gift!

food is always top notch, delicate and made with finesse. it's on the expensive side, but well worth it. they have also just opened a store at garden city, so for all those south siders out there, definitely worth a try!

diana. just couldn't walk past here today without having my favorite almond croissant oh & also to check out the new outdoor seating area. everything good even the coffee has improved a little. those melt in the mouth croissant with just an edge of crunch & delectable marzipan filling are amazing though

diana. have had coffee here twice & is only just passable, other than that the cakes are to die for! love the almond croissant, but just wish their coffee wasgreat& would eat many more of their supurb pastries. also love the french atmosphere reminds me of a sidewalk in gay paris. have to add the baker /maybe owner tends to be be rather arrogant especially if you take photos!
