Isha Patisserie Leicester

Reviews

   The place looks lovely, but to charge £9.95 for a cake is rather exorbitant, and then to find out I had been charged £1.60 extra because we prefer cream in our coffee of which only a drop was used . When I received the bill I thought I was in London! I'm not suprised the place was empty. Response : Firstly the full order was repeated back to me but prices were not repeated back to me, we didn't look at a menu I just pointed out a cake with no clear pricing. I did not try to return an item that was partially consumed we only used 1 pot of cream the other was untouched as you can see from the picture added Secondly the patisserie item did not leave your side of the counter before I questioned how much it had cost and asked for a refund , and rightly so when a bill comes to over £17, for just 2 coffees and one cake As for the cafe not being empty there was no one sitting outside or inside downstairs maybe all your customers were upstairs . I would have had more respect if you hadnt been so untruthful in your response and such a response from a business owner I find shocking, no apology no nothing just lies .

   Wow - this looks great. The place is great, the cakes look great on display, the service was good. It ticks every box. The prices I was happy to pay as the cakes look the part. This is just my opinion. Spanish latte was overly sweet. The lemon meringue was foamy. Although it was peaked it was like bubbly wet egg white inside. It wasn't as stiff. The red velvet cake slice was not red velvet. It was like a dense chocolate slice. There was more cakes on display and maybe I picked the wrong ones but if I'm in Leicester again who knows I may pop down for another try.

   We have been visiting Isha in fosse park since it opened, we have always been treated lovely every single time. The standard of the cakes are very good and never change. Irene is the best, very patience she also laughs at my silly joke. If you aren’t sure which delightful cake you want, she will always help you out. This is our quiet oasis in a noisy food hall

   Whilst shopping in fosse park myself and my partner decided to visit Isha Patisserie and was attracted by the beautiful decor. The whole place was absolutely gorgeous and such a vibe. The drinks and cakes were incredible and tasted unreal. The staff were lovely. My only issue (which is completely my own fault to a degree) was that for two milkshakes and two cakes we paid £31, which I thought was a little steep. Noting that the prices of the drinks were listed however the cakes in the window were not and I was so shocked when the lovely cashier was adding up the bill noting strawberry tart at £9 each, I am by no means trying to complain as had I of known this before I would’ve purchased within my means, but maybe for a critique the transparency of prices should be listed next to the cakes. Thank you so much.

   A beautiful hidden gem at Fosse Park! Isha Café has such a cute and calming vibe, perfect for a peaceful break while out shopping. The soft music, elegant decor, and warm atmosphere make it a lovely place to unwind. I had a gluten-free brownie and a latte, both delicious and well-presented. Phoenix served me and was so kind and friendly, really made the experience feel special. I also love that they offer halal, gluten-free, and vegan options, which is so thoughtful and inclusive. Will definitely be back again!

   The moment my teenage daughter and I found out that in Fosse Park (Food Central) a new patisserie would open (in December 2021), we were both very excited and couldn’t wait to give it a visit. We were tired of going to all these traditional Café chains in the city that offer the same drinks and boring food items. I always found that in Leicester there was a lack of unique, creative and first-class pastries. There are 6 things I particularly love about Isha Patisserie: 1) The ambience. It’s very colourful and the flowery design of the interiors makes you stay there longer. Also, the chairs are very comfortable and look posh. 2) The space. It’s very spacious and you can choose where to sit: outside, inside, or upstairs. Upstairs is always our favourite area though. As a customer you know, you will always find a place to sit, that’s reassuring. 3) The food items. There is a wide selection you can choose from (from pastries to tarts and cakes and other sweet goods). They all look mouth-watering, are very creatively and freshly baked, and presented nicely on original rectangular plates. Among our favourites are: chocolate hazelnut praline, pistachio layered cake, mango and passion fruit cake and the fruit tarts. They are soft, sweet, of the right portion, full of flavours and just appetising! And one aspect that customers should not underestimate is the food hygiene rating that a Café has. Isha has a reassuring “5”, something that I pay always attention to when eating out! 4) The drinks. There is again lots of variety (coffees, lattes, hot chocolates, teas, and cool drinks). I love coffee, therefore for me it’s always Macchiato or Cappuccino! However, the hot chocolate and the peach iced tea (particularly refreshing!) are highly recommendable too! The portions are big, they taste delicious and are presented in lovely cups/glasses in an original way. 5) The friendly staff. I still remember... the third time we visited Isha Patisserie, some of the owners remembered my daughter having enjoyed pastries there before. Ever since, we are regular clients, and they always greet us with a smile and some warm welcoming words. Occasionally my daughter even gets a free brownie/cookie. Let’s be honest, every customer wants to feel special, remembered, and welcome, isn’t it? That’s exactly how we feel every time we step into their Café. 6) The take-away box. You might think the design of a box is unimportant, but it does make a difference. When we take pastries as a take-away, I can see how my daughter holds the box with pride. It’s eye-catching and not just one of those plain white or boring brown cake boxes that you get elsewhere. And if you want to surprise your loved ones or friends with some pastries, it looks lovely when gifting it. Some people might argue that Isha’s items might be a bit pricey. Well, consider that the pastries and drinks you order are tasty, that the surrounding ambience is posh, that staff is quick and kind in serving you, that you spend quality time with people you appreciate and create moments you will remember. The interiors are indeed so lovely that you can’t leave that place without taking some pictures! I would definitely recommend this patisserie to everyone who wants to try something new. Well done and a BIG THANKS to Isha Patisserie for enriching Leicester with some more uniqueness! Looking forward to more visits in the future.

   Delightfully delicate cakes and a range of drinks served in a beautifully styled interior. There's very little like this elsewhere in Leicester so definitely worth a visit. Plus all the staff we spoke to were absolutely brilliant - warm and friendly
