PAUL

Paul is like a charming French café that gives you a slice of Paris right in South Kensington. Anne hailed their hot chocolate as the best in London, while Lonnie gushed about the flaky croissants and jewel-toned macarons that could turn even the most stoic into a pastry fan. But don’t get too excited—Philip found it nightmarish for vegans and vegetarians, and Alicia had a less-than-stellar experience with rude staff and unclear ordering.

Still, if you’re not picky and just want a good pastry in a cute setting, you might just find Paul meets your fancy. That said, be prepared for a bit of a wait if it’s busy. It’s a mixed bag, but with the potential for delightful treats if you play your cards right.
