Karl Felipe Patisserie

Beautiful deserts at reasonable prices. Excellent service, you need to add this place to your bucket list and try at least once, not only are the pastries beautifully created they are also delicious

Tidy premise and nice staff. Creme brulee was delicious and we liked the base. The raspberry egg was good. Beautiful presentation.

Beautiful food for a special occasion. These are a work of art and taste delicious.I cut them in half to share the enjoyment.

A quick visit to this Waikanae patisserie was well worth the visit. The baking and latte were excellent as was the friendly service. Highly recommended if you have a sweet tooth and enjoy French patisseries

Tiny place but it has nice desserts. The egg one is hard to transport without it falling over!Side note, the name needs to be updated on Google maps (Felipe not Felice).

This patisserie is amazing. Everything so clean and sparkly, a warm smile and friendly greeting sets the tone before you eyes settle on the exquisite treats on offer. Truly they are works of art and they taste as good as they look too. It makes it so hard to choose. There are also croissants available and the almond croissant I had to day would easily be the best I have ever eaten in my life.

Here we have a lovely little shop that is tastefully decorated and feels like a special place to visit. There is really not much to see when you enter though. A drinks fridge, a display case and a coffee machine is pretty much it.But have a look at the display case and you will be impressed. The cakes are tiny pieces of art, full of fun colours and shapes. You may want to just get one of each to find out what they are like, but then you'd see the price and rethink that option.In many bakeries you could probably pick up a slice, cream bun or custard square for 3-4 dollars. These are not your run of the mill cakes though and a price of $9.50 each reflects that. And I would not object, except...Food for me needs to satisfy 3 senses. Sight, smell and of course, taste. There is no doubt these cakes satisfy the sense of sight. However, because they are all covered in a sugary coating of some sort, there is no smell until you tear them open. And sadly, for me at least, there was very little smell even then.My biggest issue though is the flavour, or lack of it. I find this consistently with French patisserie. Sugar is not flavour, and most of the time, sweetness is all I get from fancy French cakes.Of the cakes I tried (and to be fair, I didn't try them all!) only around 10-20% of the cakes had any flavour. And by that I mean that only the small centre of the cakes had flavour while the mousse cake outsides were colourful but just sweet.So, bottom line, if you want real flavour, this is not for you. But, if you are a fan of French style patisserie and want to be wowed, you can't go past Karl Felipe.

Cute little place with meticulously crafted sweet delights and coffee. Just look at the beauty I had today!If you're fancy to please your eyes and taste buds definitely it's your place. I wish they offer a high tea menu and croissants.

Wonderful desserts - slice of heaven in each. Bought 6 different to share with friends for dinner and how perfect, we each got a taste, and it was perfect amount for dessert after a big dinner ! lots of comments on how beautiful they look (who wants to break into it, they are each a piece of art) and just perfect sweetness, flavour ! took me back many years ago to sitting in cafe in France..... keep us the wonderful service too (service with a smile!). Will be back and sample more delights !

Sophisticated yummyness! The treats here are an absolute delight. Staff incredibly lovely too. Will definitely be visiting again.
