VILLA BUENA

Raspberry is a popular macaron choice, while cassis is also recommended. VILLA BUENA focuses on baked goods, with macarons and cakes available to take away. One customer wrote that the cassis macaron was so delicious it changed their impression of macarons.

The galette is another tempting option. One customer enjoyed its buttery aroma and crumbly texture, finding them a pleasant surprise given its simple appearance. The lemon cake, “Limon,” pairs a sponge with a refreshing tartness and sweet-and-sour white chocolate. Another buyer singled out the crisp icing on top and the sponge’s delicate, crumbly texture.

Some customers visit at weekends for the croissants, which come in plain, cheese, bacon and chestnut varieties. One person who tried a croissant baked with prosciutto wrapped around it enjoyed the way the ham’s saltiness and savoury flavour complemented the buttery notes. There are reports that the croissants had sold out by early afternoon or evening, so if they’re what you’re after, it may be worth asking the shop about reservations.

There is no seating; the shop is mainly for takeaway. Its stated opening hours are 11:00 to 18:00, and it is closed on Tuesdays. Payment is cash only.
