TC Patisserie

Thank you for turning out to the market in freezing, snowy weather on 3rd January. We bought the bacon & cheese and salmon & asparagus croissant, lemon meringue ball and raspberry tart. All were absolutely delicious. Thank you for baking delicious food😋

An exquisite chocolate tart! Today I visited Beverley for the first time and tried the most incredible chocolate tart (I hope, I remember it's name correctly)! Everything about it was perfect: the chocolate literally melts in your mouth, and the shortcrust base is of the highest quality. If, like me, you ever find yourself in this town, you absolutely must visit this place! I’m now regretting that I live an hour away, otherwise I’d definitely work my way through the entire menu! 😅 Bravo to the pastry chef! You are truly a master of your field!

This establishment is in Lairgate and frankly quite easy to miss because it is very small. However, my daughter and I loved it. We only went in for coffee and cake but we were made very welcome and the service was both cheerful and efficient. It advertises itself as “a taste of France” and that is a very accurate statement. It really is very authentic French patisserie and there is a very good choice too. We had fruit tartlets and they were certainly fruity, tangy, tasty and quite large. The pastry was superb. The coffee was smashing too. Two coffees and two tars came out at £10 .50 which was very reasonable. I was unaware that they also offered breakfast, lunch and afternoon tea as well as take-away food including home-made chocolates and celebration cakes. There are even speciality evenings monthly. I am returning with the family to try afternoon tea and I’ll report back shortly. This café is frankly a little gem, easily missed but don’t! Speciality Evening Meals Having noticed that speciality evening menus are also put on twice monthly, we tried one in February. The full cost of the meal was £29-95 per person, and you reserve a table with a £5/person deposit. You book your choice of dishes in advance. Vegetarian options are available if you ask. The establishment has no licence to sell alcohol, so you can bring your own wine but water is provided free and you can buy soft drinks. We indicated that we would be rather late arriving but you can start your meal anytime in the evening up to 8.00 pm. It was a smashing experience. There was a friendly atmosphere. It was warm and cosy and the service was quick, considerate and efficient. We had canapes on arrival, followed by tasty chicken liver pate. Two of us then had the fish duo roulade served with a creamy parsley sauce whereas my other daughter had opted for the pork fillet stuffed with brandy- soaked apricots. These main dishes were beautifully presented and delicious. They were followed by a smashing assiette gourmande. We finished with tea/coffee and petit fours. Extra tea/coffee was available if required. There are not many tables, so an evening can soon be fully booked. We have now reserved for March and nearly missed out although the proprietors indicated that they were prepared to put on extra evenings if there was enough demand. Speciality Evening Dinner Again! Its Speciality Evenings, twice or thrice monthly are absolutely smashing and such great value at £29.95 per guest. You get, for instance, canapes on arrival, a starter, main course, desert, coffee and petit fours. To give you an idea my daughter chose French onion soup and loved it. I had a delicious fish risotto and for the main course veal or duck were on offer. Cheesecake or chocolate mousse was available for dessert. All the desserts were beautifully presented, very tasty and the service was friendly and very efficient. We cannot get there early but were still able to eat from 8.00 pm. Menu details for the next few months can be picked up in the patisserie if interested. The afternoon tea is delicious, substantial and very good value. The sandwiches were superb, the bread fresh and tasty. I liked the Coronation Chicken and Smoked Salmon with Cream Cheese particularly. You can order alternatives if required. There were no scones which was hardly surprising but both the savoury and sweet croissants were delicious, as were the cakes. You can have either tea or coffee. The tea was excellent and we were provided with welcome additional hot water and milk. The service is friendly and first rate You cannot book a table but if you arrive after 2 pm, you should have little problem getting a table. Christmas treats At Christmas we were tempted by some wonderful extra goodies. Beautifully presented, rich, indulgent and best shared cakes in the shape of Swiss chalets, candles and baubles. Treats to brighten up Christmas . All day breakfast : extensive menu, very tasty and good value. Recommend the bacon and egg breakfast basket

We just had morning tea for two, which was an amazing experience. Lady behind the counter was very friendly and attentive and couldn't do enough for you. Authentically decorated tea shop is absolutely welcoming, warm, and quiet. I had white chocolate and raspberry meringue, which is delicious and fresh. Definitely, l will visit again and taste other pastries!

Delightful place, small but perfectly formed with lovely, welcoming and helpful lady behind the counter. It was nearer the end of the day and the sun had gone in, so my photographs could only capture what products were remaining. I had thought it was take out only, but apparently you can dine in. I got tempted by the cherry scone, the lime and chocolate tart and the amazing looking, stacked, chocolatey meringues. Yet to try them, but everything looked delicious. Shall definitely revisit when back in Beverley.
