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

I used to really love this spot a few years ago! The quality has since deteriorated imo. I've gotten choux twice in the past few months from here and they've been merely okay. They used to have a sipping hot chocolate that was the absolute best but it seems like they may not carry it anymore as when I called they had no idea what I was talking about. read more

Looove getting pastries from Choux, especially their choux and canelé de Bordeaux. However, I recently noticed their pastries have gotten smaller. It's disappointing because, despite the great quality, the reduced size makes them feel overpriced . Sad it's time to find another French bakery in the city! read more

I came here because I have a 25% off coupon from Dining Advantage. The worker called her boss and said they don't accept any coupons and that it's a scam. I'm writing this review to let others know not to use Dining Advantage coupon here, even though I got it through a T-Mobile Tuesdays Reward so it doesn't seem like a scam. I bought 1 hazelnut cream puff for $4 anyway. It was extremely small portion and I finished it in 2 bites. It was very yummy, but thought it was overpriced for how small it is compared to Cream Papa and other places. The pictures on Yelp make it look like regular size when it's close-up, but it's actually baby size and even smaller than a muffin. It was a to-go only operations and had 3 people working there. read more

I'm a sucker for a sweet treat and this place really hit the spot for me. I've seen this place on my friend's Instagram stories recently and have been wanting to try them out for a while. I hadn't anticipated on the pastries being so small as each one was literally bite size but so cute. We opted for the set of 4: vanilla, matcha, earl grey, and salted caramel. I will say I thought the pricing was a little higher than what it should have been but definitely worth a try if you're in the area. I unfortunately will not be back for that reason alone. I thought the cream in each pastry was light and not too sweet which is always nice. It tasted very fresh! The person helping us was very nice and patient as we took a while to choose our flavors. I was hoping there would be seating inside to enjoy our pastries but that wasn't an option. Parking was limited but there is free parking down around the block. Neighborhood is safe and clean making it the perfect place to take a stroll. read more

got 4 financiers and 2 cream puffs -- they are the perfect size for a little treat or a gift! all the flavors were delicious but I liked the texture of the cream puffs more than the financiers. the financiers were a bit dense but they may have been better fresh (I kept mine for a bit). the shop is tiny and takeout only, but service is fast. they have a variety of small treats! it is pretty pricey but I haven't seen a similar concept in the city yet. read more

One of the highlights of my previous review of Choux was "dry pastry". I picked up another box of pastries today (hoping the last time was an off-day) and planned on having a puff at home. Instead I had (2) while I was walking home. They were amazing. - The chocolate puff's chocolate cream reminds me of authentic French pudding (zero bitterness, all rich chocolate flavor) - Vanilla puff may as well have been named "Crème Brûlée puff", its vanilla custard is amazing. Both pastries had a small piece of chocolate on top which made a typical "fresh chocolate" cracking sound. A part of me wishes I did not go back because Choux could become a serious dessert addiction. read more

I lucked out and got in on a "Too Good To Go" here for pick up on a Saturday. My box included 3 raspberry financier cookies, a sugar Brioche, and a savory cheesy puff. For $5.99 it was a great deal. Sadly there was no cream puff in the beautiful box - which is what I really wanted to try here, but To Good To Go is a crap shoot and you get what you get (at a savage discount). The pickup was super speedy and I still got it all in an adorable box. Will definitely try here again, if no cream puff next time, I will bite the bullet and pay full price. :) read more

This place is located less than a block from my gym, which makes of these cream puffs my indulgence after a hard workout session. The staff is super elegant and sweet. The puffs are really outstanding. The raspberry and passion fruit were my favourites (even though I haven't seen passion fruit there recently). I tried now every single puffs they have and need to experiment more ordering other menu items. I really recommend these little delights read more

This place seems quite famous in San Francisco, but personally, I find it mediocre. The cannele tastes a bit oily, and the outer layer isn't crispy. After air frying it for five minutes and letting it cool, it tastes much better. Price-wise, it's also quite high . read more

Very cool little shop on Fillmore, with a nice mix of Choux bites. Parking is very tight just don't double park on Fillmore, and you should be alright. As for the shop it's cute just order at the door, fyi you can see the Choux pastries through the window glass. As for my box it contained a large chocolate that was rich but not overly heavy, 4 of the Financiers that were some what substantial, and 2 light Choux. The box presents well, and as of this posting I have enjoyed the large Choux, and one of the Financiers. A small box can be a nice treat or gift, but yea it's not cheap :) read more

I ordered their cream puffs and brownie as a birthday gift for a friend. The cream puffs with ganache filling were delicious. The ones without the filling were a bit dry but still very good. The brownies were delicious, too. They came in a cute birthday box. My friend usually doesn't eat a lot of sweet stuff, but she definitely enjoyed these. I recommend giving this place a try. read more

I discovered Choux through a TikTok video of unknown gems in the city. I happened to be in the city on Valentine's Day and swung by about 10 minutes before closing, figuring if they had anything left, I'd get a couple things to try. Much to my surprise, they still had a decent selection available! They were sold out of the hazelnut and salted caramel cream puffs, but had just about everything else. So, naturally I got one of everything! Stand out faves were the passionfruit and the lemon cream puffs. Everything was tasty and fresh but those are the two flavors I will absolutely be back for. I did get a coffee and a passionfruit merengue, and only cared for the coffee one. The passionfruit one had little to no flavor sadly. read more

Got a box of canneles and every flavor of choux. The boxes are additionally pretty classy and would make a great gift. The canneles were custardy, not too sweet, and a delight. The chewier, caramelized bottom crust being the highlight. The choux is different from your usual cream puff- much softer and a higher cream:crust ratio and can be finished in 2 bites. Flavors are not too overpowering. The store is takeout only with no seating. Orders are taken and given at the door and is generally very fast service. Only downsides are that it's just a bit pricy at $29/box (of 8). read more

I only ordered their cream puffs and I honestly wasn't expecting them to be so good! I found this store from yelp and decided to stop by. Parking is street only which may be difficult. The store front is literally just a store front. You cannot go in you just order at the door. I ordered a box of 4 cream puffs. 1 vanilla, 1 salted caramel, 1 raspberry, and 1 lemon. I only got to try the raspberry and lemon and they were so good. Very tart and not too sweet at all. In fact the lemon one actually tasted like a key lime pie! Super delicious and fresh. Overall I will be stopping by here again at my next SF trip. It's definitely worth it! read more

Choux offers delectable, bite-sized cream puffs that are a little too easy to eat. We picked a box of choux as a post workout treat and we're immediately struck by the perfect presentation of each puff. Pâte de Choux is a par-cooked egg-heavy pastry dough that expands exponentially when baked, thus giving way to a hollow interior perfect for custards and creams. But what sets these apart is the craquelin topping (a sort of baked cookie crust) that helps these maintain a crisp bite even after being filled with luscious pastry cream. Our favorite was lemon which was filled with a zingy lemon custard and topped with a teeny tiny meringue. But, you can't go wrong with a chocolate mousse filled puff either. I have a soft spot for crackly cannelé, which is a Bordelaise baked custard with a glassy caramel exterior, and the woman at the front gave me a free sample! She was super helpful in picking our flavors as well. I can't wait to try the other flavors! read more

Dropped by to grab some cream puffs and a cheese puff. They also had meringues, financiers, which we didn't try. The cheese puff was good but nothing special.. Maybe it should have been warmed up? The cream puffs were tasty! However they were quite pricy and if I were to be totally honest, only a bit better than one I've had from grocery store. They had a nice variety of flavors but I almost felt like I was paying for the experience of ordering from a cute stand. read more

I got two small tarts (4 inch diameters), aPumpkin Biscoff Tart and the Pear Frangipane Tart. They were both very well decorated and looked amazing, but I felt that the taste was quite plain and underwhelming. Perhaps I had hyped up the shop after wanting to try it for so long, but it's not something that I would crave or go out of my way to buy for myself. Their selection of baked goods is very beautiful and make excellent gifts though, I would definitely buy again for the convenience of ordering online and for the selection if my friends and family enjoy these baked goods. read more

Fast quick service! We got the lemon and hazelnut choice (cream puff). Favorite was the lemon that was zesty and creamy. They do a good job of packing in the cream into a cute little pastry so the proportions are matched. My only reason it's a three star is because of the price. $4 for a little cream puff is a lot so if it was maybe 2-3$ I'd be more willing to go back-- a croissant is more filling and worth about the same in SF or a larger dessert/ice cream. read more

This place is such a hidden gem! I originally saw their cute cream puffs on Instagram, how pretty and colorful they were caught my eye. I happened to be in the area today, so I thought that I might as well try it! And it was amazing--would definitely come back again. My boyfriend and I ordered the pesto bun, 2 cheese puffs, a sugar brioche, a berries and almond brioche, 2 hazelnut cream puffs, and 2 vanilla cream puffs. He LOVED the pesto bun so much he couldn't stop thinking about it afterwards. I thought the cheese puff was pretty yummy (although a tiny bit dry) and the cream puffs were so good as well!! I liked the vanilla one more than the hazelnut just because the cream was lighter and fluffier but both were honestly amazing. We haven't tried the brioches yet, but we're very excited to. Ordering was really simple, just walk up to the door and they'll take your order there. The menu and glass cases for pastries are all by the windows so you can easily pick out what you'd like. The lady who helped us was also super nice! Not to mention too that the bakery smelled wonderful just from the door. It's a bit out of the way for me to regularly go but I'd definitely make the trip for their pastries! read more

Pretty good french desserts! If you're looking for a sweet dessert thats not too heavy, this is it! We got to try their canele, choquettes and choux. Do not be fooled, the dark color on the canele is not chocolate. I should've asked but didn't so was a little disappointed it was no chocolate. The choquettes was interesting, its like an empty cream puff so not sure who this is for but like the best part is the cream! So to no surprise, the best thing there was the cream puffs. Next time, we'll stick to those. Wasn't a big fan of the other stuff but that might've just been personal preference. read more

Parisian delicate pastries resembling mini cabbages sure to tickle and dance your taste buds. Airy, crispy and light can easily be eaten in one bite. Take a pass on their dull caneles. Faint notes of rum and vanilla came through with a tender custardy interior. One dimensional as it lacked pronounced gentle sweetness with a dark thick burnt caramelized chewy exterior. Love passionfruit and chocolate as both flavors marries well into one harmonious adult profile. "Ben" or their Salted Caramel Custard was perfect. Not too sweet and delectably creamy. These little beauties can be shared. Would have liked food grade liners in their mini boxes to prevent the occasional sugar crumb trailing. Prices are on the higher end. Always good to try new patisserie shops. read more

Choux was recommended to us by a friend from France so we decided to check it out. Four of us arrived at this cute walk-up window/store front and were delighted to see such a selection. We ordered a variety of items and decided to eat one before continuing on. Nope - we all four stood right there on the sidewalk and consumed them ALL! Then we bought more to take home! They were absolutely fantastic! We had many flavors including chocolate, vanilla, lemon and canelés. I just returned to SF for a week and went out of my way to go to Choux again. This time I stuck with my personal favorite: the lemon and more canelés. I am already looking forward to my next trip to SF. The owner and her staff are very friendly and happy to answer any questions. I highly recommend this place. read more

As a Parisian in San Francisco, I'm always looking for some of my favorite pastries in the area. And two of those are chouquettes, and chocolate choux. Choux is very known for both of these. The Chocolate Choux: it's absolutely delicious. A problem I have with American pastries is the amount of sugar they have, but that is not a problem here. The choux was lightly chilled, the pastry was soft, and the custard was dark and flavorful. Would definitely get again. The Chouquettes: my biggest disappointment. Not only were they overpriced (you can get 12 chouquettes for $1.50 in France!), but they were also dry and not soft. There wasn't much flavor, and it was all around disappointing. Although this is one of the only places in the Bay that sells them, I wouldn't get again. tldr: get what they are known for, the choux are outstanding, the chouquettes not so much. read more

I read about Choux from a food blog that raved about the boutique bakery. Consequently Choux has been on my radar for a while since I love French pastries. I had an impulse to go on a foodie trip to The City, and you better believe that Choux was #1 on my list! I arrived at 11:45am on a Saturday. There was only one other customer in front of me in line, and she was just finishing up with her transaction. I came in at a good time as customers started queuing behind me. You place your order from the door, and then a staff member boxes your items and brings the POS system to you for completion of payment. I believe the woman who was holding down the fort that morning was the owner of Choux. She was very kind and friendly, and I admired her resiliency. She mentioned to me that their bakery had just gotten broken into recently. As if things weren't already bad because of the Covid environment, this had to happen to Choux too. Yet there she was keeping up with a great attitude and adapting to the situation so she could continue to serve the community. My heart goes out to them, and I'm really glad that their spirits are still high. Now on to the food. Where do I even begin? Choux had mini cream puffs, canelés, challah bread, brownies, sweet and savory brioche breads - to name a few. I settled for a box of 4 canelés, a box of 4 financier with assorted flavors and a box of 4 cream puffs with assorted flavors. Everything I tasted was as fantastic as they looked. It was hard not wanting to try every single thing off the menu, but in hindsight I should've gotten the Choux Weekend Box, which was a sampler of everything. Canelés are among my favorite French desserts, so I was really pleased to find that Choux's were up to par. It's all about the crunchiness of the carmelized crust and the softness of the inside. I noticed little specks from the vanilla bean and got super subtle hints of the rum. The canelé was everything I wanted it to be. I got vanilla, lime yuzu, matcha cheesecake, and earl grey mini cream puffs. They were all good in their own right, but I will say that the matcha cheesecake was my favorite - followed by the lime yuzu and then earl grey. Vanilla was the most basic but still enjoyable. I liked that the pâte à choux was really delicate and not too thick and doughy. The custard filling inside each one was creamy and flavorful. Lastly, I got salted caramel, nutella, apricot, and raspbery matcha financiers. Choux's financiers were the best I've ever had. The cakes were moist and buttery, and I loved how strong the almond flavor was. The 4th one was a special made matcha flavored financier. I appreciated that they brought the matcha on the forefront rather than make it an undertone. read more
