Default 2007-12-08 - REPORT : A French Cafe called "Le Temps d'un Gateau" (Cake Time)

2007-12-08 : Opening of the first French Cafe "Le Temps d'un Gateau" (Cake Time)
2007-12-08 : Ouverture du premier Café Français "Le Temps d'un Gâteau"

Le Temps d'un Gâteau (Cake Time) is an idea of Marion.
This young and active lady came to China with
Damien her boyfriend.
Marion is not the kind of lady staying at home or spending days going shopping. She already knew that she would have to start something...
As Marion likes cooking pastries and knows quite a few recipes, came the idea with Damien to launch a French Cafe.
But to open such a business in any foreign country is never easy.
Hopefully they met Ling who helped them by taking care of all the administrative tasks and hassles.
Finally on December the 8th "Le Temps d'un Gâteau" was born.
Just a few minutes walk from the 2 famous foreign residences Central Garden and Century City, the place is easily accessible.
Coincidence it is located almost next to another new residence called "Les Champs Elysées"...
Le Temps d'un Gâteau is the first French Café in Ningbo and we wish them great success !

Thumbs up Absolutely delicious!!!!

Hello there,

I'm living just side across the street of this place (beside of the river building apartment) and you have to try the apple pie, what a taste really. Coffee is so good too, I'm so happy about this place near to my home, just 3min walking to there. You have to get there!!!
