  Choukette is one of Brunswicks iconic cafes serving up immaculate French delicacies in a small comforting setting. Located on Sydney road with only 3 tables out the front Choukette gets very busy as people stop in to grab pastries to go or dine in for a light bite to eat.

  Upon entering this adorable French cafe late afternoon the lunch rush had been and gone and there was only a few other customers relaxing enjoying the peaceful atmosphere. Taking 2 steps inside I was immediately confronted with a huge assortment of sweet treats behind the cabinet, from cakes to pastries, sorbets and tarts AND if that wasnt enough hot pies and savoury sandwiches are also available leaving one spoilt for choice.

  We grabbed a seat towards the back of the cafe near the drinks station and had a quick glance at the surprisingly large menu for such a small eatery. The order at the counter deal ensures the line moves quick for those in a hurry with takeaways but table service is also on offer. As I placed my order I was greeted by an overly friendly waiter who informed me that the pastries where on offer 2 for 1, a deal I simply could not surpass. I ordered my usual long black and cappuccino along with a rhubarb and pear danish with the added in bonus of a chocolate and cream filled croissant. I was given a table number and waited in anticipation.

  The coffees arrived in a timely fashion. The long black was average, slightly watering and bitter but still remained a slight touch of acidity. The cappuccino was much better thick and creamy with a perfect frothy top. The pastries were clearly the highlight though. Buttery, flakey pasties, pulling apart with ease revealing a fluffy centre easy to indulge in. The Rhubarb and pear danish had a generous apart of fruit and wasnt to sweet. The chocolate and cream filled croissant was packed with hard decadent chocolate with swirls of cream throughout.

  Choukette is the ideal location if you are in need of a quick cheap bite to eat or kill time escaping reality and letting your tastebuds experience a touch of authentic French cuisine. The freshly baked goods are excellent but the coffee can be improved but overall its easy to see why this little cafe is so popular.

  Mon Dieu! Choukette est aussi proche que possible d’un vrai caf franais. Exceptionnel.

  A fairly unassuming cafe until you walk through the door.
  Friendly, almost homely atmosphere and excellent customer service skills.
  Everything made on premises with passion, detail and skill.
  Hard to beat for quality and price.
