Preacher's Patisserie

Lady Lawson Street's a bit of a culinary dark horse, and Preacher's Patisserie is exactly why you should be paying attention. This is where you'll find proper French patisserie done right—the kind of croissants that shatter in the right way, tarts that taste like someone actually cares, and coffee that doesn't taste like an afterthought. The café's compact and unpretentious, which means you're getting genuine skill without the faffery. Whether you're grabbing breakfast before heading into town or settling in with an espresso and something buttery, there's a real sense that these folks are doing this because they love it, not because it's trendy.
