Mum's Birthday Celebration at Ben and Lynette (B&L) Maison Patisserie

Pastries and cafes are mushrooming in Ipoh recently and one of the must visit cafe in Ipoh is Ben and Lynette Maison Patisserie or also known as B & L in short. As the place seems to be special, we decided to have our had our mum's birthday celebration in this place during the weekends.

The place has chic interior and vintage looking furniture with cozy ambiance; making it a suitable place for special occasion and catch up session with family and friends. We visited the place during evening session for dinner.....it was not too bright inside but I really like the Mediterranean lighting which makes the place cozy and not too dark either - just right.

The place has only self service and menu is not given to the customers. Just walk straight to the counter and place your order after deciding on the meals and drinks from the giant menu on the wall just opposite the counter. Since it is self service cafe, there is no service charge - but the waiters or waitresses are there just to clean up the table mess and serve the foods and beverages. The thing that I don't like about Ben and Lynette Maison Patisserie is that it do business with cash terms ONLY. Given the high price tag of the food and drink, I feel that they should at accept credit cards.

It's a self service cafe

I will leave it to my next post to blog about the food there; which I can say overall we actually like the food despite the small portion. The coffees that we ordered, definitely nice and different from the usual coffee chain that we have like Starbucks.
