Patiserie Andreea F.
Have you ever stopped in this little bakery located in the northern part of Calea Victoriei, very close to Piata Victoriei? I think I've walked past this bakery hundreds of time before actually entering in the shop, wondering if my belly would get positively rewarded or not. However, I recently got the opportunity to give it a try, rushing from a meeting to another, allowing myself to take a 15-minute lunch break. First reaction? Andreea F is a 'Patiserie fina artizanala', and you have the proof when you see the quiches and croissants displayed in front of your eyes. It looks like it was made at home, and the nice smell confirms it. Second reaction? The colors of the pastries want you to order some more. After a couple of seconds of hesitation, here I come, ordering a combo "quiche - pastry" (and a croissant too, but that remains between us). Getting out of the store, I found a bench where to enjoy my lunch break, far from the noise made by the cars passing by. Conclusion? Give it a try and you'll thank me later.
Calea Victoriei 222, București 010097, Romania
