Christophe elicits mixed impressions, with pastries and bread frequently praised for flavor and quality, especially croissants, and a wide range of desserts and Danish pastries described as excellent, though one cake glaze was deemed greasy and in need of a rethink. Beverages are generally well received, including good coffees and a London Fog, but coffee can be a bit bland for some. The levain crusted pizza earns praise for its simplicity and taste, and the overall vibe is calm and pleasant, making it a good spot for breakfast or a casual visit, even though a few find it noisy and not ideal for work. Service ranges from quick and friendly to uneven, with occasional misses like lack of a water glass. Prices are seen as reasonable by some and expensive by others. Taken together, Christophe offers strong pastries, solid drinks, and a welcoming atmosphere with opportunities to improve coffee balance, service consistency, and value perception.View restaurant profile
