Pastries Desserts & Sweets Café Afghan Ice Cream

Review Summary

Miss Cream Roll Café, Pâtisserie et Crème glacée is praised for its delicious cream rolls that are light and fluffy and for desserts that feel freshly made with a good flavor range. Decor is beautiful and the atmosphere warm, with friendly, attentive service mentioned by many reviewers. Drinks and milkshakes are described as rich and satisfying, and the overall experience is considered among the best for cream rolls and pastries. A common caveat is that the space is fairly small with limited seating, making it less suitable for large groups. While the menu is tempting, there is a note about limited dairy options for coffee, with only cow milk available. Some items like a biscuit were described as dry, and one Afghan dessert did not measure up for comparison, but these are relatively minor compared to the overall high praise. Overall it is seen as a cozy, charming spot worth a visit to try more cream rolls and ice cream.View restaurant profile
