About this place
The first thing to catch the eye at griotte is its white croissant, made with Calpis butter. Diners have remarked on how its buttery flavour opens up with each bite. Its delicate layers and buttery aroma make it a natural match for coffee. Some reviewers describe it as a popular item, so if it is on your list, you might want to stop by earlier in the day.
For something more substantial, consider the Poulet Champignon, filled with grilled chicken and sautéed mushrooms. Diners have found it generously filled and satisfying, making it a good choice when you want a single piece of bread to make up your lunch. The focaccia with wholemeal flour has a rustic wheat flavour and a savoury edge. Visitors have also come across versions with aubergine and tomato, or edamame and cheese—worth a look if you are after something with a filling. For a sweet option, try the Griotte, named after the shop: it is described as pairing rich chocolate with the tartness of cherry, a dessert-like treat alongside the savoury breads.
The breads are made by an owner with a background as a French chef. You can take them away or enjoy them with coffee in the basement dining area. Some visitors note that seating is limited, so taking your order to go may be the better option if you would like to avoid waiting for a seat. Payment is cash only.
