A Sweet Pastry In Paris

Which Should You Buy?
Akro Bake is a truly divisive one, this. Half the population reckons it's the ultimate lemon gourmand: fluffy, delicious, full of zing. The other half can only smell lemon cleaner. If you can get past the first blast, it mellows into a genuinely comforting, edible scent. Otherwise, it's a hard pass.
This ZARA cheapie is a divisive one. Fans adore its buttery, tart lemon pastry charm, often grabbing backups. Detractors can't get past a perceived synthetic lemon cleaner opening, finding it artificial and cloying. If you like sweet gourmands, it's worth a sniff.
