Parfait Paris

A Westfield UTC counter for French pastries, macarons, cakes, crepes and coffee.

What people go for here

UTC customers value the colorful pastries and macarons, but branch-specific feedback is notably mixed on drinks and operational reliability, including midday shortages and an isolated failed cake pickup.

  • Macarons
  • Energy chiller
  • French pastries

Worth knowing: Some items sell out or become unavailable by midday. Specialty coffee and matcha receive mixed feedback.
