As Grolet points out in his post, the shop located within The Berkeley Hotel in Knightsbridge, will mainly offer the pastry chef's signature trompe-l'oeil fruit as well as pastry flowers, which the 30-something year old also offers in his Opera, Paris store. On one of his Instagram photos, we also see that Grolet will offer London customers his famous hazelnut, lemon and vanilla flowers. We can already imagine the queues that will form in front of the shop.
In the meantime, here's a reminder of Grolet's inspirational dishes:
