This is a long overdue review. This happened a while ago....and I just put it Out of my thoughts bc I was going to write a 1 star review.... Some salesperson with French accent and I don't want to say the proverbial...the French are snobby...but it's so try. I waited at the front (and let me tell you the store is freakin' small)...her back was turned to me. Didn't even acknowledge me. It's so small, how can she not notice, right? Waited a few minutes and then a few more... and finally I got some service but there was this attitude. That alone would have made me never to return if it weren't for those damn cream puffs. Luckily I went back a few weeks back and this time the salesperson was amazing. Loved her attitude. The first thing was, she keeping petting my dog...There wasn't a line so I had a good time letting her just flirty with my little puppy but when it was time to order, she was so nice and patient as if I was the only person coming to her shop. She put together a small box of 8 puffs. And they are so beautiful in their well designed box. Did I mention that, I love the raspberry flavor. it's sweet and tart. The vanilla is a classic and it remains my favorite. The lemon is too tart for me but I do think that some people will like that. The yellow circle on the top is immaculately done. There is also a hazelnut. After she boxed it she presented it to me. When I said that one of them looked a little "smaller", she immediately replaced the puff so that they all looked very even and gave me a little instruction. Since I have a sweet tooth, she suggested some pate de fruits; good idea. I am giving it a 3 because of my previous experience so I hope this makes sense. Glad that I didn't just give up after the initial bad service. read more

Pricey but absolutely delicious! Definite worth treating yourself to a box every once in a while.

i had my first try on this today when I saw the reviews from here. So I ordered 3 boxes of 4 pcs each choux and 1 (4pcs) gluten-free and canele'. It was good but not much of really a "wow". A little bit pricy though bur it was worth a try. The packaging was great. The contact people was really friendly though. read more

I got a few of the mini creme puffs with different flavors today. I loved the matcha one especially. Came with a cute white chocolate wafer on top. Also had a caramel flavored one too. These are best eaten right away since they're cream filled, so it will get soggy otherwise. I've ordered from here via Doordash for a host gift, and it was a hit too. Beautiful packaging. read more

Worth the splurge when I'm feeing something sweet. They know what they're doing. Great attention to detail - the cream puffs are not only darn aesthetically pleasing but also unique and witty (the warriors/matcha toppings) while tasting so, so good! read more

Choux is the cutest hole-in-the-wall spot in Lower Haight, so adorable it's almost out of place in Lower Haight. They serve a handful of cream puffs, of which 1-2 are seasonal, a choux-nut (cream puff donut), and pastries (they look like mini danishes). The matcha chouxnut was a bit overwhelming because of the frosting but delicious, the custard was luscious and complemented well with the raspberry filling. Hands down my favorite was the hazelnut cream puff, could not stop eating it. The chocolate was a second favorite, but I prefer the richness of the Pacific Puff's. As expected, this puts Beard Papa's to shame. Salted caramel was good as well, I really don't think you could go wrong with any of the cream puffs. My least favorite of all was the danishes, probably because I'm a sucker for the cream filling and it didn't have it. read more

This place is tiny- a little door with a entrance counter and window display for walk up service (or call for delivery) only. The delicious smell of butter and sugar wafting to the sidewalk is heavenly and the pastries are great! Don't miss this! read more

Such delicate little angels trying to tempt you through the display case. Choux was my friend's suggestion for dessert because let's be real, they're adorable. They're mini sized and able to be gone with one bite so how could you not want to try some cream puffs? It's definitely not like Beard Papa's because these are much more smaller and not overly filled with the sweet cream. They also come in a larger variety of flavors depending on what time you come through. Located in the Fillmore area, Choux is a bit hard to get to due to parking. Parking is all metered around the streets till 6pm Mon - Sat so be aware as you venture here. We came through on a Saturday afternoon around 2pm and was able to get parking around the corner because of the amount of construction going on and the deceiving signs. Service was alright. There was one lady working when we came in and she gave us a good amount of time to figure things out. I ended up spending around $18 for a box of 8 due to redeeming a reward for one free cream puff. Overall, it's a fun idea. It's more sophisticated and Instagram worthy, although probably not into getting all the time just because some flavors are more up top than others and a little too sweet. Sometimes a plain vanilla or chocolate is enough. read more

Take Out during Covid 19 Overall: 8/10 Choux Cream Puffs Box (4 pieces): 8/10 OMG this is soooo delicious! I had the asian style choux before but I don't really like any of them. However, the filling for these choux is too die for! The only downside would be the price. It is so expensive to pay 13 dollars for 4 tiny tiny choux...It is expensive even in the SF standard! read more

Choux cream puffs are sooo good! They really are the perfect gift for a girlfriend or any occasion. They're pretty small, so definitely get a box of at least 4. Choux has a bunch of flavors so it will be easy to find something you'd like. The workers are also extremely friendly! read more

Spending a day exploring the city and after lunch in Hayes valley wanted to try a little something for dessert. Found this place on yelp and was intrigued by the French cream puff idea. The shop is small (really for take out) and the cream puffs are likewise bite sized for $2.75 per price. There was a variety of flavors including a seasonal pumpkin one. We tried four different flavors and they were all good. The presentation in a gift box as well as each cream puff being perfectly crafted makes for a great hostess gift. Parking is a challenge. read more

The first time I tried it at a festival, it was awesome. I could never forget! But then the second and the third time I tried, the quality went so bad, especially the last time, my friend and I can feel that the choux was NOT fresh at all!!!!? read more

Definitely buy these for the cream puff aficionado. The lemon reminded me of lemon pie. Hazelnut. Some sort of cinnamon. Got 4 for $12. Nicely boxed but gone in 5 seconds. Pop taste swallow.what a tiny place to turn out these tasty bites. Check their times before going. read more

I really want to give it 3.5 stars but bumped it up since it won't allow that. I bought the birthday box for a friend's birthday. In theory it was a cute idea but definitely not as vibrant and clear as the photos. The first disappointment was that it did not come with a candle as advertised. I even double checked with the woman at the shop before leaving. I could have picked one up on the way had I known it was not in there. The idea was to have a birthday candle lit upon presentation but instead we just had the plate full of pastries. The last disappointment was that the items definitely did not seem fresh as one would hope for from a bakery. It definitely presented as been in the refrigerator for long period. read more

This is the cutest boujie hole-in-the-wall store. We went on a weekend afternoon. They were almost out of everything, and I could see why. The most buttery financiers! The creamiest choux fillings! I did find it a little on the expensive side. Worth one try for sure. read more

Cute little pastry shop away from the busy part of Fillmore street. I stopped by on a Sunday afternoon around 2pm, and there was no line at that time. They had a variety of cream puff flavors available, as well as meringues, gluten-free brownies, "choukies", among other items. I ended up trying: Perry (Hazelnut Custard, Milk Gianduja, $2.50) & Laura (Acai Berry Custard & Raspberry Curd, $2.50) [https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=O0SfXg20DWaJYAAXFP9fOw&userid=76vIFZcC7owykCBjMfGVXg, https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=bPlSAzIO07NrjLalwj9GWw&userid=76vIFZcC7owykCBjMfGVXg) -Perry (Hazelnut Custard, Milk Gianduja, $2.50): Just ok- the hazelnut flavor was too light. Skip! -Laura (Acai Berry Custard & Raspberry Curd, $2.50): YUM- this was definitely my favorite flavor that I tried. The acai and raspberry flavors were perfect, and I loved the lightness of this puff- highly recommended! -Choukie (Cookie Butter & Pecan): Just ok, since the choux pastry is too dense in cookie form. I also couldn't taste much of the cookie butter, and didn't like the pecan in here- skip! The presentation of the cream puffs is amazing, but the flavor didn't quite match up to the looks of the puffs. I would still come back to give the other flavors a try if I were in the area. Parking was easy to find on a Sunday afternoon since there was plenty of street parking. read more

I first saw Choux through Instagram ads and the pastries looked so good. I couldn't resist and ordered the Choux Weekend Box to share with friends. Our box came with one challah bread, four choux cream puffs (irish cream, raspberry, chocolate, caramel), one almond bun, one ginger bread cake, one cannele, one financier, and four strawberry jam jellies called pates de fruit. It's a little different than the description on the website that said we were going to get a meringue, and maybe a lemon cake or bread pudding instead of ginger cake. The ones we liked were the raspberry choux cream puff and middle of the challah bread. The rest of the choux were stale, and we only knew it was stale because the raspberry one was crispy and delicious. We were super sad that the signature pastry the store is named for were stale and not tasty. Also the challah bread was very dark, most of the bread was dry except for the part right in the middle, so we think it's either old bread or over baked. The other desserts were okay but nothing we would want to buy again. Overall for the price and distance we traveled for these (we live in the East Bay) it was not worth it. I had really high expectations, especially for the choux but was sadly disappointed. read more

Just a heads up since it's not listed anywhere on their website or on yelp: gluten free has to be ordered a day in advance. I've gone a few times in person and picked up GF pastries but today I showed up at opening time and was told they no longer carry gluten free on a day to day basis and it must be ordered in advance. Such a shame they don't want to inform their customers of this change. read more

Went to visit a friend who lives a couple blocks away and we were craving some dessert. Choux was the first to pop up on Yelp nearby so we decided to come check it out. I'm not usually a person to go for cream puffs, but these are on another level. Their flavors are amazing (Salted Caramel is great, and Lemon which tastes EXACTLY like a lemon bar). I'm no baker (but I do watch a lot of Great British Bake Off) that I can tell these Chouxs are pretty much baked to perfection. The choux itself has a very thin puff layer and are FILLED with custard/cream. My friend and I split each Choux and even when you cut them in half the cream doesn't spill out and holds it form. We also got out of curiosity two Financiers (Nutella and Salted Caramel flavor). I believe it's essentially almond flavored marzipan? Which was ok, my friend didn't really care too much for the almond flavoring and I probably couldn't have more than one being that it was pretty dense. Though what I will say is how they baked/caramelized the crust of Financier was phenomenal, which made me want to continue eating them. It's definitely a little pricey, but you can't beat the quality. They're boxed and packaged very nicely too so they're a perfect dessert to grab and give as gifts as well! read more

After an early dinner at Hot Zushi, I checked yelp to see what dessert spots were nearby. I booked Choux forever ago after seeing their stuff on instagram. The little cream puffs did not disappoint. They are pretty pricey. I imagine their rent is not cheap. The chounut was delicous and so much fun to eat. I shared it, but I think I buy one for myself next time. Every cream puff I tried was delicious. I've made cream puffs at home many times, but I was impressed with how cute they made them. read more

I've been eyeing this place for the longest time. I've always been curious about what a canele was and how they tasted. And I finally decided to come here to try it! I came here once around 3ish one day and they were sold out, so finally a couple months later I decided okay! Stop procrastinating. I will preorder for pick up. Super easy. Gave them my order number and I was all set. $12 for 4. These tasted like sweet potato and was a little on the sweeter side. After all the videos I watched with the outside being crunchy, I was disappointed how the exterior wasn't. That was all I was looking forward to. The inside was like bread pudding? That's all I could describe it as. Haha. Overall, the taste was good but the texture was just okay. read more

Watch out, I'm getting ready to rave about the deliciousness of these cream puffs. These are absolutely, positively some of the best cream puffs I have ever had in my entire life. I'm no choux puff connoisseur, but wow these were just so good. I would honestly describe these cream puffs as little slices of heaven. They all had such rich, developed flavors wrapped in a light fluffy shell. I had a really hard time figuring out which ones to get because the flavor combinations all seemed so appealing. I mean, at $2.50 a pop, the price wasn't dissuading me from buying too many :P I'm a complete chocolate fanatic so the sophie puff really stood out to me. The chocolate was well balanced, not too sweet, and had a great texture. Service was great and the overall look of the bakery was super cute. My only regret is that I did not get more cream puffs! I suppose I will have to return for another adventure :P read more

Choux is a small piece of Paris in the Haight district. The creme puffs would be a perfect addition to any birthday party, ladies night, or picnic in the park. Get there early for they sell out those creme puffs quickly. They were making more fresh chouxs for display case when we arrived. They have so many wonderful flavors to choose from. The citrus flavors were delightful from the creme puff selection we had in our box. My favorite was the lemon tart which has a small quote in the box. "Its whats on the inside that counts" The detail they put in their pastries truly shows they appreciate the small details. One bite of their pastries took me back to walking the on the rues of Champs-Élysées. Merci Deana for your hospitality! B patisserie has some competition.We will be back soon. read more

Their passion fruit meringue really stood out to me! I was hesitant to try it since passion fruit flavored food is usually too tart for me. I liked how when I bit into the meringue, the inside was chewy and it looked like it could've been intentionally made with a bit of jam inside or maybe it was slightly under baked, either way, it was so good! You could customize the the cream puffs and have a printed logo as the decoration if you want to order it for catering. read more

Omg love this place!!!! Best pastries and fun flavors. The have have so many flavors and we're so nice. They added a happy birthday sign complimentary which was so sweet. Great service, she had great recommendations and will be back when I need a sweet treat. read more

Oh my, what a real treat. Ordered 4 pcs of cream puffs & a brownie & meringue box for pick up, and grabbed a piece of carrot cake and a Nutella brioche bun from the case upon arrival. It's a teeny little spot but the lady at the door was very friendly in getting our order ready to go. The most delicious flavors inside of these cream puffs, and fully loaded. Definitely recommend the salted caramel flavor. Carrot cake was moist and perfectly cooked. Nutella brioche bun was everything I hoped it would be. Perfect amount of filling and one of the best tasting brioches I've had. Heavy amounts of care and attention to detail at choux, and everything tasted as good as it looked. read more

I ordered a salted caramel cream puff expecting it to be large cream puffs like from Beard Papa (that doesn't exist in SF anymore :\) but then they were SO TINY! You know when you pay for something and because of the price you expect more(?) but then HOLY SHIT. That salted caramel cream puff is so freakin' good I ain't even mad. read more

This is one of my top pastry places in SF. Delicious tiny little treats that are very precisely crafted. Affordable as well - would recommend getting a box of 4 and trying all their flavors. read more

Hole in the wall bakery that specializes in choux pastries- cream puff topped with a thin cookie disc called craquelin. During covid you line up on the sidewalk and order at the door. The size is tiny for the price, you could pop one in your mouth and eat it whole. They do have unique flavors and holiday flavors but nothing stood out for me. Also, it was on the sweeter side and I prefer pastries that are less sweet. In March there was Irish coffee flavored choux that was pretty good. If I'm nearby I would try their monthly specials but wouldn't go out of my way for this. read more

Gave this place two tries. One for regular trying out and one during the Mother's Day special. I remembered it as pretty tasty but the Mother's Day special kind of ruined it for me. For 40 bucks half of the box was over the top sweet merengues that was not enjoyable and most of my cream puffs contained vanilla flavor and chocolate. For a "spring" flavored as advertised I was slightly disappointed that the looks was better than the taste. Probably not going to order again for a while and Going to stick with beard papa. read more

"Roses are red, violets are blue. Sugar is sweet, and so are Choux." When I got home from work, I got a text from the shop asking if I was still picking up my order. I had completely forgotten about the order I initially placed for Doug to pick up. I apologized and promised to be there ASAP. She replied and assured me that she would wait for me. By the time I got to the store, it was already 30 min past closing. I felt awful for keeping someone at work, especially the day before thanksgiving. I wanted to offer tip but my wallet wasn't with me. So I said the first thing that came to my mind "Do you have venmo?" She looked rather confused and told me that I had already paid. I said it was for the great hospitality. She refused with a grin and said it wasn't needed because she owned the shop. I wanted to do something for her and asked what I could do for her. She smiled and said "Just be nice to somebody else". My heart was so full that I teared up driving home. Store is closed from Thanksgiving Day to Dec 1, but you can place order online for Dec 4 pick up or delivery. https://chouxsf.com/ read more

I was in San Francisco and I was craving pastries. I saw this store on Yelp. I've tried the Lemon cream puff and it was sooo goood! I definitely recommend this business. I shared other flavors with my friends the S'mores, Chocolate and Caramel and they all loved it. The presentation is beautiful, the box is very pretty. These would make a great gift too! I'll come back! read more

I want to start off by saying I lived by this place for a year and I finally went when I moved away and I REGRET IT NOW! I should've been going every month for a treat!! The cream puffs were all amazing and so were the pates de fruit. My one qualm is that there was no list of the flavors and I had to ask for it. The lady that was helping me just told me the flavors of the pates de fruit which meant they didn't even have a label or anything on their box? And for the cream puffs, they did have a little booklet for the flavors but some of them are seasonal so I didn't know some of the flavors. Wish they could have it written down so I didn't have to remember which one is which. But, I can overlook it since it's all delicious. read more

Fairly small cream puff pastries which although is pretty good, does not necessary seem worth it for the price. We got almost every flavor here but our favorite was definitely the lemon and the apple surprisingly. The hazelnut and pistachio were both misses that I thought would have been good based on the way they looked. Overall, I was recommended this place and although it's okay, I don't necessarily think I would come back here. read more
