Reviews


Located in the heart of the city, this cafe has unfortunately had a disappointing makeover with staff that need to improve their customer service skills. While some customers have praised the pastries and baked goods, others have been let down by subpar coffee and service mishaps. Despite the hit and miss experiences, the cafe's affordable prices and delicious pastries have garnered some positive reviews. On the other hand, the historic La Renaissance in the Rocks receives glowing reviews for its exceptional French pastries and desserts, with some customers calling it their favorite patisserie in Sydney. The cafe's tarte de citron and Monet dessert are highlighted as must-tries, with special mentions of its delightful outdoor seating area and welcoming atmosphere. Despite some minor flaws such as wobbly tables and inattentive staff, La Renaissance remains a top choice for those looking for delectable French treats in Sydney, on average, La Renaissance Cafe Patisserie has been rated as 4.5.
