Jean Pierre Sancho

Had coffee here with a friend this morning … she had the lemon tart and I had the caramel slice. (I wanted to get some macaroons before I left but I forgot, so disappointed, they looked amazing!!!)
Both the coffees and the cakes were lovely, the staff were friendly and they coffees were quick to come out. Very pleasant sitting area. Will definitely be back!

FRENCH KISSING
Gave them a second chance because i had a voucher from the entertainment book and they were a bit better this time round. Tthe french guys serving provide much better service than the girls, important when you dont want attitude with lunch. great work lads.
Vouchers in the entertainment book are, 2 for 1 already made baguette or sandwich
2 for 1 hot choc
2 for 1 hot drink
2 for 1 box of macaroons
I like getting my lunch baguettes here on a Sat/​Sun but it’s always hit and miss. no matter wht time you get there. The guys serving will go down stairs t get some if they have run out, the girls won’t, they say they are 2 busy. So I don’t go anymore.

I visited the Hay Street store a couple of years ago and wasn’t a fan however visited again this morning and was really impressed with the range of patisserie cakes, macarons and sandwiches. I ate a white chocolate and apricot brioche. The coffee was excellent, strong and worth returning for.
Lesson learnt, always give places a second chance!

One of my favorite coffee spots if I am ever in the city! Service always feels very genuine as a majority are French which makes for a very cool experience! The passionfruit or chocolate macaroons are to die for! I have only eaten here once but had the quiche and my word was it a nice big portion and so tasty!

I’m a regular patron and have tried almost all their pastries, baguettes and quiches. The pastries are awesome and are the best I’ve found in Perth so far, the baguettes are huge and the quiches are always yummy and come with salad!
The restaurant has a lovely quaint atmosphere with beautiful wooden furniture. It feels like you really have been transported to France! Lunch-​time can get very busy and packed with office workers which equals a slightly long waiting time but it’s well worth it.
Have yet to try their cakes as even the individual ones are quite costly however they do look beautiful and so I probably will in the future. All in all it’s a lovely spot that I will continue to visit regularly!

I have had very mixed experiences here; I love their fresh bread, great croissant and tasty treats; however their coffee and table service leave a lot to be desired.
The space too always feels cramped even when half empty and has little or no atmosphere going for it. I will continue to patronage them as one of the best bakery’s in the Perth CBD.

Jean Pierre Sancho Boulangerie Patisserie is certainly polished. This befits an establishment that has carried off the illustrious title of «Best Bakery in Australia» on more than one occasion. Despite the flash and the hype and the huge bag of baked goods I carried out of the store, I came away from my visit feeling a little underwhelmed.
Now, let me get this straight. I love bread. Carbs, to my mind, are most certainly NOT the enemy. Bread and I, we go waaaay back. I’d happily play the Doctor Watson to Sherlock Holmes if Holmes was, in this case, say, a nice, crusty baguette. We’re THAT close! I’m pretty easy to please when it comes to bread and baked products. I feel that this disclaimer is required when you consider the minor gripes to follow in this review.
After my visit to the patisserie a few days ago you can all expect whatever international governing body deals with the use of similes to make a major announcement concerning the redundancy of «like a kid in a candy store» and its replacement with «like Mike in a bakery». I purchased a bacon and leek quiche, half a dozen, variously flavoured, brioches, a sourdough loaf, a white loaf, a piece of chocolate tart, and a rather exciting looking lemon tart. Suffice is to say, I had a fairly broad spectrum of product to sample.
Over the last couple of days I consumed some of my swag. The brioches were OK, but that’s fine as I’ve always had a fairly problematic relationship with that particular bread. The lemon tart was the real highlight. Delightfully gooey with a sharp lemon bite and a really excitingly textured pastry crust. The chocolate tart was similarly excellent. Perhaps a little dense for my preference, but delicious, nonetheless. The loaves were fine — nothing I’d make the drive to Perth CBD for at the drop of a hat, but clearly good quality. The quiche was probably the most significant disappointment. Leek and Bacon? It sounded like someone’s far more interesting take on Quiche Lorraine, but, unfortunately, the thing was very bland. I found myself wanting to commit the cardinal sin of salt and peppering a product from an award-​winning French bakery!
Jean Pierre Sancho was a lot of fun to visit and they have some exciting stuff on display. The cakes and tarts, from what I have sampled so far, appear to be excellent, but I can’t quite get the hype about the overall experience. Rather impressive, yes. Best in Australia? Hmmmm.

I tried a couple of croissants from here for the first time last week and they reminded me just how delicious a genuine croissant can be. Oh my goodness, they are divine.
The pastry is simultaneously soft and flaky. A golden, flaky exterior that shatters when you bite into it, giving way to a light and tender interior. The pastry just melts away on your tongue… craving one of these right now!

I don’t normally get the privilage of being in the city in the morning as I work in the Midland area. SO seeing as I had to head in for a conference for the day I made good use of the opportunity for a quick early morning pitstop for an espresso and pistachio macacon.
My espresso was the perfect temperature and the chewy gooeyness of my macaron made a perfect start to my day!

Anyone who has enjoyed the mouth-​watering cakes, bread and pastries in Paris knows it can be tough to find authentic versions of these things here in Australia. JP Sancho delivers on all counts and has delicious quiches which make for a great lunch or light (early) dinner. Recently I discovered that they even sell whole cakes at reasonable prices (perfect for morning tea at the office) — pick from whatever is in the display cabinet on the day or order 24 hours ahead if you can.

While I can understand a couple of the negative comments posted here, I wouldn’t come to this joint for lunch anyway and I would be disappointed if the staff were anything less than misanthropically aloof. As such, I’ve gotta say this is a kick arse French Patisserie. Every cake in their display looks (and is) delicious, but amongst my pals this place is famous for their life-​alteringly tantalising macaroons. They also make great coffee, so this is the perfect place for a spot of afternoon tea. I like to combine a stop here with a spot of record shopping at 78’s.
Actually, now that I’ve typed it, that sounds like a great afternoon. I’m going to do that tomorrow.

Ok, let me start by simply saying macaroons, they are unbelievable. I would even go as far to say perfect, that crispy outside and the creamy middle, oh wow the sensation. That is no way near all they have to offer, that have an amazing range of different breads, sour dough, rye, wholemeal.
The breakfast menu is just insane! A delicious crispy french stick roll full of delicious ingredients and it was $ 8! I couldn’t of been happier.

Awarded and recognised for its coffee which may be divine… I had a very average to CRAP experience at the well and truly head up their ass place excuse my French oh ha. Jean Pierre smells like a yeasty stale bread night mare. The lady at the counter was very rude when I asked about available food– it is not my fault that the prepared meals looked terrible and naively I expected something more, there wasn’t. The $ 10 focaccias were boring so were the $ 8.95 salads which were let down by presentation. This place gets points for their fair trading and organic ingredients but all in all it’s very pretentious with no ground to stand on when it comes to effort to impress customers. The food is boring hence why I only ordered a coffee because of curiosity not support. It is also crammed with yuppies won’t be going there for a meal-​ever.

I come in for their fresh baked bread every week. They have the best rye bread, which is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. In addition to the rye bread, they have many other varieties, including bread with olives or bacon baked inside. They have a slicer on-​site, so you don’t have to muck about it at home. Definitely the best bread I have found in Perth so far. Their coffee is also wonderful, and they have a full selection of desserts, croissants, and sandwiches. They are also open on Saturday in downtown Perth, which is great because so many places in that area are closed on the weekend.
Their bread though is above and beyond. I’m so happy I found this place. If you’re in the area, stop by for one of their many samples.

This little gem is famous for their baguette’s, pastries and coffee. The café is very trendy and the furnishings give it a very luxe feel, it’s like a little taste of France yet more modern and fresher. The menu has a great variety or cold foods, warm foods and sweet foods; the salad I ordered to takeaway was delicious, fresh tasting but the chicken was a tad dry. I have to say, the staff are a lot friendly than any you would actually come across in Europe!

I went to Jean Pierre for lunch recently and left with mixed feelings.
The venue itself is very nice: delicately furnished and a little bit posh. The staff are friendly and the service is good.
But I was, rather surprisingly, a little disappointed in the food. The brie cheese and ham baguette I ordered tasted like it had been sat in the fridge overnight: cold, dense, not at all fresh. I had been to France some years earlier and heard through the grapevine that Jean Pierre was the one place that could compare, and so far I was far from convinced.
And then we ordered some bread and brioches to take-​away, and WOW, the quality here was evident and beyond anything I could have expected. I definitely recommend Jean Pierre’s to anyone, but maybe go for the freshly made take-​away items over the refrigerated baguettes.
