Mimosa Patisserie  

This is the first time I post comments in public about a shop....

I went to buy a mango Napoleon for my mom since this is her favourite dessert. As soon as I walked into the shop, I was already dumbfounded by the response I received from a long hair woman. The way she presented herself in front of a prospective customer was quite unique, or should i say she is just plain rude!!! 😡😡😡 Is she the boss or just an employee? either way, this is a disaster as her rowdy behavior worked pretty well in driving customers away. 😡😡😡😡😡 This is not the way to do business and I don't see any reason why I have to pay her $30 for a cake. It was such a humiliation and i will surely not going to recommend this shop to anyone!!!!

the person that pick up the phone needs to learn some basic manners.
you'll assume that saying "bye" before hanging up the phone on ppl is just basic mannerism for a city like Hong Kong.

I called to order 2 full sizes napoleons, I asked for the actual measurements for the full size cake, i need to make sure it'll be enough for 30 ppl.
the person that picked up the phone b!tched back that they only sell by pieces now and it's 30-31 dollars so it'll cost me HKD930 for 30 pieces.

HKD930 for a napoleon birthday cake for 30 ppl.
and they can't even deliver to just 2 streets down from their shop in Tin Hou.
give me a break.

Not just the overwhelming price, but their sh!t attitude is enough to drive my business to else where.
Amigo, Agnes B all do an amazing napoleon for a quarter of their price.
Such a rip off.

ordered 17 dozen of cakes for celebration of promotion
芒果拿破崙 is really good
people who delivered the cakes were helpful and well mannered
cakes delivered in good condition.

The sales lady, I assume she might be the owner, is really impolite, bad face, not helpful etc. The poorest service I have even seen. It seems that I am begging for her cake and not paying for it.......interesting.

Tried the Mango Napoleon . Mango is always my favourite! The puff pastry was still crispy even after a long way from Tin Hau to Mong Kok. The custard cream was not too heavy , just quite slightly sweetened !

because this was birthday cakes from my friend , i dont really know about the environment , price n service . Overall, I would say I loved it anyway!

I've the same experience as 小肥童 several months ago。I arrived at 6:30pm and the Napoleon was out of stock at that time. The "lady" told me cake will be available at 7:00pm. I asked if she can reserve 2 pcs for me and I promise to return at 7pm. Her answer is NO because they do not accept short notice order. I left immediately witout looking back.

I see no reason to return again. Plenty of choices everywhere!

As following the suggestions, I tried out the Mango Napoleon first time here and really it tasted delicious. The fillings were full of fruit and custard and he napoleon was also really crispy. I would definitely recommend this and go again (I still need to taste the strawberry one!) It was also worth the 30 dollars to buy this!

Also, the shopkeeper lady was actually not that bad tempered and impatient and I reckon she was quite polite, she said thank you to me afterwards and answered my questions...

MANGO NAPOLEAN CAKE x 6 pieces.
Crispy layers, smooth custard, fresh mangos.
Most importantly, the SWEETNESS is perfect.

Last year when I had this cake, it was way toooo sweet!

THIS TIME, PERFECT. great improvement!

Definitely will recommend this to anyone!

Mango Napoleon
taste quite good, although more fruity will be better.
made too thick. it's better to keep the overall height < 2 cm... easier to put into mouth, there is no need to make so big.
price is very low for the overall quality. ($23)

Other Cake
not taste yet, but the outlook is not attractive.

5 of us went into the shop and started calculate how many Mango Napolean we needed. However, we didn't see any Mango Napolean in the display, so we asked the lady "how many Mango Napolean you have" and we got a reply "just tell me how many you need, i don't need to tell you how many i have" in a really rude manner.................

i was going to lose it and just throw out all the $$ in my pocket to buy all napolean she had. BUT when i have a second thought, I don't want to let her insulting me and then make a fortunate.

After this incident, the Napolean is tasteless!

What a pity!

芒果拿破崙
I just want to announce:
I sincerely recommend this.

It’s one of the nicest mango napoleons I’ve ever tasted.

My friends went to my new house and brought me these cakes.

Both "macadamia nut" and "strawberry" mousse cake taste great. My wife thinks the macadamia nut taste much better than the strawberry one beause it really taste like eating macadamia nuts.

The box looks simple but quite pretty. btw, I don't know how much does it cost.

I was determined she doesn't like me.

Contradictions live within us, and all we struggle through are a way out -- yes or no, black or white, and to a foodie's mind -- have it or not have it (the latter being having it LATER, or ANOTHER TIME). It's a matter of choice, and today instant gratification won over. I walked through the familiar networks of restaurants and eateries, with a spring on my step, arriving at the old arcade, landing at the steps of the familiar shop. It was 5 minutes after opening time.

Lady: What do you want?
Me (observing the empty fridge): Napoleon (in my polite voice)
Lady: Can't you see there aren't any?
Me: But when you open you never put them in the fridge (Our eyes met, she knew I'm not a first-timer)
Lady: How many?
Me: 2 please, small ones (with fingers showing her the size)
Lady: Ours is not that big. Ours is...
Me (interrupting): I would like two pieces, please, however big they are.
Lady: We don't have it. Come back later.
Me: How much later?
Lady: LATER.

30 minutes and a visit at 'Wah Sister' across the street. My returned marked my spot at the end of the line. The sales lady was smiling and greeting the ladies in front. When it was my turn, her face turned ashen yet again. She was determined to make me beg for it. I ran through the same routine above, and when she gave ma bone chilling cold stare for one last time, I stepped out and turned around, she was smiling cheerfully with the others. Was that a bad-service nightmare, or did I just entered another void in the parallel universe when manners don't matter?

The napoleon, layered and 'freshly made', was nowhere nearly as good to be called a mille-feuille. The layers had that crispness..It had the buttery flavour but didn't go all the way. The pastry cream was smooth and custardy, but somehow didn't go well with the ever so light pastry. The top layer though, was crispiest among all different layers. I bought two pieces, and I stopped in the midst of the first one...

I looked back at the receipt and realized how much I paid for this, and I am not convinced that what I got is not I paid for. The Napoleon wasn't bad, but the entire experience isn't entirely good to deserve a smiling face. I may not have eaten all the Napoleons in the city to know which one is the best, but to say that this is a good one because everyone seems to think so is inaccurate and a challenge to my integrity for someone who loves to eat like anyone else on here. The service truly is bad, and I can only hope the lady at the shop has put all her efforts into every Napoleon that was made for the business, and left the worries to be projected to the next person who provoked her with kindness. That's how I comforted myself for the rest of that afternoon.

There have been quite a number of bad comments about 女職員 or老闆娘. I will not doubt their words. But I just want to say my personal feelings about her.

I have bought cakes from Mimosa three times. each time , I saw the女職員 or老闆娘. I personally find she is a nice, reasonable and even thoughtful lady. It is true that she does not have much smile, she is very blunt, she might not be tactful but she is genuine. She is definitely not the kind of lady we usually see at some bakery chainstore who are forced to wear fake smiles and speak with 高八度 聲線 all the time.

Anyway, it has become my favourite cake shop. I think it is better than Vanilla. The拿破崙, cashew cheesecakes and the brownie cheesecake are excellent!!! Yet, to me, their chocolate related products such as Chocolate fudge, tiramisu and coffee gateau are not as great.
