The Great Eastern Food - Johannesburg

Visited the store in the Post office centre in Illovo this afternoon for a ladies high tea. It was a perfect choice. The centre is not too busy but central and easy to get to with ample safe parking. The store is pretty and quaint. Pink and white stripes adorn the walls along with various picture frames. We were served a variety of sweet and savory options. There was a special vegan assortment prepared especially for me as well. We sampled various hot drinks, juices and teas . Everything was delicious, served in the prettiest crockery with excellent presentation. Friendly attentive service.

I love to order cakes from this patisserie as they are to die for, especially the apple and walnut cake, cheese cake and red velvet. I was a bit disappointed with the selection of cakes when sitting at the bakery. <br/ <br/ They didn’t have any of the above cakes available to order per slice and there selection of cakes was small.<br/ <br/ We settled on a lemon tart which was nice and a slice of a biscuity chocolate cake, which was ok.

Intimate and cozy. Brilliant service and treats are mouthwatering. Good hide out for a good and long conversation with an old friend. New spot found.

Truly deserving of this rating! The staff are always smiling and are really talented bakers! Everything is beautiful, some even in the simplest way! Petite and sweet are the perfect combination here!

Always love the treats at The Patisserie. Tucked away in the post office centre Illovo, there's limited seating inside and some tables in the passageway outside. Lunches are good and light quiche or tasty chicken pie with a small garnish salad. The real reason for our visit was a birthday treat. My children enjoyed selecting their cakes macaroons from the treats on display. The cheesecake brownie was slightly dry and disappointing but the coconut cake, carrot cake, macaroons and lemon tart were delicious! It's quite pricey for what you get but one of the few patisseries in Jhb that's consistently good
