I'm glad this place is not closer to me. It would be very dangerous. The place is tiny, but the bright display of choux and canelé, and the smell of caramelized sugar, definitely draw your attention. While i enjoyed the two choux I got (raspberry, salted caramel), I absolutely loved the canelé. I tried both the original and the matcha flavors. Both were delights from the first bite to the last. Just wish they had been bigger! The crunchy shell was a great contrast to the soft, creamy, and rich interior. The young French gentleman running the till was a total sweetheart. He was happy to share his recommendations, and seemed genuinely proud of the products. read more

Ordered catering from this spot for a company event and they were amazing! The owner went above and beyond working with our business to make sure everything with our order went amazing. The dubai chocolate choux and the chouquettes were a huge hit. They had many gluten free and vegan options, and everyone got something they enjoyed. Thank you Chouxsf! read more

I called at 445pm, the day before an event where our org needed a dozen pastries customized with our logo. Looking at Choux's website, everything looked gorgeous and classy. Sophisticated and pretty. I spoke to Kat who recommended the Birthday Box - a lovely little box containing 12 delicacies. I emailed her our logo and she was able to assemble this adorable presentation of her creations with our logo sitting atop of each one. And the best part? They were delicious and our staff appreciated the extra care that went into the preparation. Thank you so much, Choux! read more

We were on the best pastry hunt in SF and found this hole in a wall spot @ the nice Fillmore area. We got lucky and found immediate parking so that always helps. We tried a little bit of everything and liked most of it except for the lavender choux as it squirted all over me when I took the first bite and not sure if that was supposed to happen, they didn't warn us. The actual store is super tiny and just order via the window and the pastries were tinier than it looked on the photo we saw, just like the store itself but friendly service. We tried the Choux, Financier and I forgot the other one but all great except for the mess on one of them, not cheap for sure. read more

We ordered cream puffs from Choux for Valentine's Day. A box of 12 for friends and a small box of 4 for us. Every single one was incredible. My wife's favorite was the caramel. I'm partial to the hazelnut, which had this deep, almost praline-like flavor. Our friends loved 'em too, and their kids demolished the rest before anyone could grab seconds. My research research tells me Choux female-owned and founded by a pastry chef trained in Paris. And boy, you can definitely tell. The cream puffs are light, the fillings taste fresh (not overly sweet), and the boxes have a nice design without trying too hard. If you're looking for the best cream puffs in San Francisco, a last-minute gift, or just something special for a gathering, this is it. Works for adults and kids equally well. We'll be ordering again. read more

Went for the first time after a recommendation from a friend! A very cute and quaint place - fyi it's a small shop with no indoor seating as it's pretty much just an order counter. They have a variety of flavors and treats you can mix and match. Each pastry is $4 but you do get a small discount the more you buy. (I bought 4 items for $15) Hazelnut choux: 10/10. My personal favorite. Delicate, nutty and decadent. Lemon cannele: 9/10. Delicious and mild. Not too sweet with a nice chew! Yuzu coconut choux: 9/10. Delightfully tart and sweet! Not too coconut-y which I was relieved about Matcha cannele: 6/10. Was okay but a bit underwhelming. While they're a bit pricey for the size, I like the smaller bite-sized pastries as it's the perfect amount to get a sweet fix. read more

Choux is a great grab-and-go spot when looking to get some pastries. It's a small shop, so you basically order at the doorway and take everything to go, as there's no seating area. The pastries were around $4 each when I visited, and the nice perk is that they offer you a discount the more you buy. I got four canelés for $15 instead of $16, and it was delicious. The box you get is also very cute. Service was good and very quick. Would recommend! read more

Choux is such a cute little store. No seating and you just order in front of the building. It's hard to find good choux in the city. They come in a lot of classic flavors. I would eat them fresh or risk having them turn soggy from the filling. I do wish they came in more unique flavors as there are so few choux places in the city. Also bigger ones because these can easily be finished in two small bites. read more

Choux is counter order only. I wish there was at least a bench or some stools outside to enjoy my cream puffs without having to take it somewhere else. Lots of flavors to choose from but I got the seasonal flavor (totally blanking on what it was). $4 for 1 cream puff that's literally just 1 bite is kind of steep but worth it for a once in a while treat! I like that it's not overly sweet. I think this spot would be good for gifting or to treat yourself. read more

Cute little pastry shop on Filmore that sells financiers, meringues, caneles and cream puffs. I tried their caneles and I liked them but I wished they were more crispy on the outside.

My friend and I decided to grab a sweet treat and Choux was nearby. We ordered the raspberry, honey lavender, and hazelnut choux and 1 cannele. The raspberry choux was tart and had a nice raspberry flavor. The hazelnut choux was similar to eating a ferrero rocher and wasn't too sweet but still had a nice flavor. The honey lavender had a stronger lavender taste and was floral. I think overall I preferred the raspberry and hazelnut choux than the honey lavender but all were solid options. My favorite was the cannele. It had a strong vanilla flavor and you could see the vanilla bean coating the cannele. It was sweet and the texture was spongey and slightly dense/ (which I didn't mind). The texture was a mix of a custard and a cake. I would definitely love to come back and try their matcha cannele too! The worker there was patient and attentive. The location is in a window pickup so no seating at all. However, there are parks nearby to enjoy your desserts at. read more

Choux is such a delightful little bakery! Everything here feels special-- beautifully made, light, and full of flavor. Their gluten-free brownies are my absolute favorite--rich, fudgy, and so satisfying without feeling heavy. The cream puffs are just as dreamy, with the perfect balance of crunch and cream. It's the kind of place that makes you smile the moment you take that first bite. You can really taste that joy and dedication in their desserts. A must-visit spot in San Francisco! read more

I don't write a lot of reviews but this cute pastry bakery truly deserves 5 stars and a shout-out. The little pastries are amazing! I got a box of four for me and my partner. My favorite was the salted caramel one, closely followed by the hazelnut one. The choux are perfectly crunchy on the outside and creamy on the inside. Wonderful flavors and not too sweet. I'm from Europe and it is hard to find authentic European food but this is so authentically French. We got a coffee at a cafe down the street to enjoy with the choux. We also took a larger gift box to bring to a birthday party and it was a big hit. Will definitely gift these to friends and colleagues again. My highlight was to briefly chat with the owner and her partner. I found out that the bakery has always been woman-owned and they seem like a really awesome team. Really sweet, fun couple! read more

Store is a counter order. Staff is friendly and provided recommendations on the baked goods. All the pastries are on display which is really cute. Hazelnut cream puff: tastes like hazelnut faintly but filling is too acidic. Pass. Raspberry cream puff: really scrump, raspberry filling tastes like real fruit and not artificial Vanilla cream puff: cream has a weird curdled consistency... like when you overheat an egg custard and it becomes part scrambled eggs. Could use a lot more vanilla. Meh. Matcha canelé: tbh I just don't like canelé, they're too hard and I don't like the consistency inside. (this is more of a me thing, try the canelé and see if you like!) Maybe I should come back in the morning and see if they taste better fresh. My sister who I ate them with said the pate choux is too thick. read more

Very cute hole in the wall bakery! We ordered a couple of choux and canelé to try (lemon and raspberry choux and matcha and regular canelé). The raspberry and lemon choux were so tasty, not too sweet and the punch from the lemon was perfect! Also the canelés are quite a difficult dessert to make but well done with a nice light spongey and chewy texture. I preferred the original over the matcha as it was more classic but both were nice! Service was also fast as the shop was not very busy but just keep in mind there isn't anywhere to sit down. read more

While the service and tiny storefront was rather underwhelming, the choux themselves were extremely delicious, better than other choux I've had around the city. It's also wonderful that they have such a vast selection of flavors, allowing even the larger boxes to have a great amount of variety. read more

These are so cute and so aesthetic, but kinda pricy for the size. It was definitely way smaller than I expected (from looking at the pictures online vs in person). One big bite and it's gone....so if you want to share, make sure you only take tiny bites lol. FYI, there's no where to sit/walk inside the store. You order by the entrance. We got their raspberry, hazelnut, lemon, and salted caramel choux. They were all pretty good. The outer layer was thin and has the perfect crunch. Lotsa cream, so the flavor is pretty obvious. read more

Choux (shoo) me the goods! I have been waiting for days to find out how cute these short and sweet pastry puffs tasted. I admit; I hardly shake off the fact that I still have my sweet tooth for sugary mini munchies. But, I always have what it takes to control my sugar intake. My purpose for my casual visit was to have a full dozen... no, all eight different kinds of puff pastries to share with my family and friends. From the right side to the left clockwise: hazelnut, mocha, chocolate, vanilla, salted caramel, PB& J, lemon, and raspberry. The raspberry goes to my brother, chocolate to my dad, lemon to my mom, and salted caramel for me. All of us were satisfied with the puff pastry we had. If I were to say which mini sweet is cuter, I still say the macarons. Puff pastries were amazing, so I might come back for another. A takeout-only women owned business must be the keeper for Lower Haight. Service with a bright smile! read more

Choux is a tiny French pastry shop located in the Fillmore area where they sell their popular cream puffs. Unlike the typical pastry shops, you order through a stand and the servers grab the pastries from behind for you. The service is quick and the pastries look amazing for parties. Each cream puff cost almost $4 each and is little. I ordered them for a wedding engagement surprise party and they looked great. I tried both the raspberry and lemon ones. The cream puff fruit flavors are strong but it does not leave me craving for more. They just add a lot of colors and make the dessert table look super fancy. Cream puffs are definitely smaller in person than in pictures. The canele tastes good but Dangelion Chocolate makes it better. Cheese puff is the only savory thing I tried here and it is quite tasty. Overall, I would recommend getting the cream puffs for parties! read more

I've seen this shop a few times when driving by and decided to stop in after having lunch nearby. You order at the door in the front. I got a box where you can choose any X items for a set price and picked up one chocolate cannelé and three choux (chocolate, hazelnut, and taro). The choux were all fairly small, as you can see in the store, with a very thin and soft crust. The fillings had a nice amount of flavor without being too sweet. The cannelé was light, a bit chewy, and moist--almost like a chocolate Vietnamese honeycomb cake, though without as much of the honeycomb texture. Overall, everything was pretty good, but I would have liked a crispier shell, and a bit expensive for what you get as well. read more

Delightful bite sized bits of heaven! We tried the following: Peanut butter chocolate cream puff Chocolate cream puff Vanilla cream puff Raspberry cream puff   Canelé Salted caramel and raspberry jam financiers Everything was delicious. For me, the raspberry cream puff had incredible raspberry flavor (though all were very good) and the canelé was outstanding. You really can't go wrong with whatever your favorite choice might be. Pricey but worth the occasional treat for yourself or as an elegant gift. read more

I LOVE canelés! Was ecstatic to find this sweet little spot that has two delicious types. My only regret was only getting one of each. My mistake as I got two from another shop earlier in the day and didn't wanna be greedy. From now on, will always be greedy. While not the cheapest, totally worth it. Most of the ones Ive had are about 1$ cheaper a piece but who cares when they're this good. I might try some of their other stuff one day but I don't know if I'll ever get my fill of their canalés to not spend my whole food budget on em. read more

Heavenly tasting and cute single bite French cream puffs. These aren't too sweet. I wish they had places to sit down inside. I would snack on choux and drink coffee here all day if I could. The presentation is good, and you pay for it. Each choux is ~$4. If I lived closer, then I would go every month to try their monthly flavor. I always buy a raspberry choux whenever I buy a box. I like the raspberry flavor out of their regular choux flavor selection. Their last special monthly choux flavor was earl grey. That was decent. I wish I had gotten the matcha choux instead. I also tried a pistachio flavored choux that was the February monthly flavored choux. I hope their monthly choux are testing the waters for more permanent choux flavors to put on their permanent menu. read more

Tiny storefront where they have a table right at the door so you can order french pastry (ie., choux, chouquettes, canneles, financiers, meringues, etc) to go. No seating available. We decided to get a box of 4 choux (lemon, hazelnut, chocolate and seasonal-think it was called strawberry orange?). These choux are bite size. Choux review (4/5): The choux pastry itself was primary a vehicle for the cream fillings and was not crispy and didn't have any flavor at all. It might be because we didn't eat them right away and they had been at room temperature for about 4 hours. The fillings were a generous amount within the petite choux so that you could really taste the specific filling and have the flavors linger on your palate. Our favorites were lemon (zingy and tart lemon) and chocolate (rich and decadent). The seasonal choux (strawberry orange?) was our least favorite--tasted like rose water and rose water is not my thing. Hazelnut was good. read more

Looove getting pastries from Choux, especially their choux and canelé de Bordeaux. However, I recently noticed their pastries have gotten smaller.
