I usually love, love, love Laduree. But maybe that's because I've only ever tried their famous macarons. The other day, I visited the Laduree shop in Covent Garden and ordered the Covent Garden breakfast set. Hate to say, I was terribly disappointed. The bread was hard, the hot chocolate was too thick I had to use it as a dip rather than a drink, and the pan au chocolat was nothing special. The best part of the meal might have been the lemon cake, but our waiter had accidentally served us this - it is not actually part of the set. Therefore, I'd say forego the breakfast and just go for a cake or macaron.
I do have to comment on the ambience though. The seats are plush and comfortable, and the pastel green colour scheme makes you feel as though you were in Sofia Coppola's Marie Antoinette set.
