This little gem recently opened little over a month ago, and there have been rave reviews from the locals so I felt it time to sample what Jo Jo's has to offer.

Jo Jo's is reported to be the only shop in Scotland to be Certified in Authentic Danish Pastry Production. This is an accolade that many aspire to but those in the past have fallen short.

With this in mind, I had high expectations on entering the quaint little cafe, and the aromas as you walk in are spectacular as they make your mouth water with anticipation. I ordered a custard Danish and Banana Muffin which were on display on the glass counter top, looking colourful and particularly appealing.

The muffin was sublime, very light and moist with a glorious banana frosting. A massive hit!

But onto the main event. The custard danish, a classic pastry that takes years of practice to get right. The pastry was elegant like no other, it was light and flaky, the perfect consistency, and the custard was of the highest quality! I was amazed at how the flavours were so simple but so effective and I will definitely be returning, with recommendations in hand!
