Choux - A variety Box of 8 Cream Puffs - Bakeries Near Me - San Francisco, California

I first came here on Valentine's Day and got a rose and lemon choux. This second time, I ordered a box of 8 via an Uji Time pop-up. The box had canneles, matcha raspberry financiers, matcha cheesecake cream puffs, and earl grey tea cream puffs. Everything was good but my favorite were the matcha cheesecake cream puffs and earl grey tea cream puffs. They were soft, just the right consistency and chewiness, and sweet but not overly-so. Each bite had depth. I also appreciated the packaging (kind-of like the overall aesthetic I noted when I visited their physical store.) I will be back--these make great gifts for others as well as for yourself! read more

If I could give this place 6 stars, I would!! I was apartment shopping in this neighborhood and happened upon this little gem of a place. I joked with the owner Deanna...we both laughed, then she lamented about the other "yelpers" who wouldn't get the joke but take it wrong. (It was a simple "I'll be back in a second," then I said "one" kind of joke) I then felt compelled to read through some reviews. Some people just like to give less than perfect stars because...they had to wait too long, or they thought they would get more for their money...or they were just in a bad mood or didn't get someone's humor. I want to say to those folks...lighten up people!! It's not right to give bad reviews to a local, small business for these trite things! My personal experience here was def more than 5 stars. It's a small walk-up door, with the most delightful, kind and funny owner. And don't even get me started on the pastries!! We walked around the corner and couldn't wait to eat one...(I ate three!), it was like pastry porn! Soooo good, literally the best I've ever had. And the cutest boxes and MOST flavorful...I can not wait to come back! It was also very much worth the money, not that expensive at all considering the artistry and I know how much work and ingredients go into these amazing packages of happiness. Thank you Deanna for an amazing (and funny), and delicious experience! read more

Choux - Assorted Box of 8 Cream Puffs - Bakeries Near Me - San Francisco, California

Dainty pastries that are worth a try if you want a bite sized dessert. Each item was less than 2 inches wide - very tiny. Almost all the items were displayed in the front window, except the cream puffs. Cream vs puff ratio was perfect. Not overly sweet. I also tried the brownie (not pictured) and it was just ok. read more

Choux - TOP: Apricot Financier, Hazelnut Cream Puff; BOTTOM: Chocolate Cream Puff, Canneles - Bakeries Near Me - San Francisco, California

I found this place because I love this little neighborhood and used to go to Cafe du Soleil down the street a lot before they closed. I never though much about cream puffs because I'm more of a cookie person but I was really impressed with the taste and quality of the choux cream puffs here. I like anything bite sized because it's cute and then I can try a few different flavors or just have a small treat without overdoing it. The cream puffs have a burst of flavor and taste like they have fresh quality ingredients. Despite the fact I'm a chocolate fiend my favorite flavors were the fruit ones like raspberry or lemon. The space is very small and it seems like they do a lot of takeout business for bigger orders. The bakery is more on the expensive side but I think it's worth it for a small treat. read more

Missing Paris and been seeing the Choux SF IG ads so decided to give it a try and spent $50 and I am super disappointed at the quality. I am willing to spend money on quality, but this place is over priced without the quality and portion. This place originally deserve a 1 star, but their customer service is good so I gave it a 2. My friend got some other items later and said it was fine. Inconsistency is an issue. Food wise - average of a 1 and 3, still a 2. 1 Star - going into the trash bad 2 stars - bad, but I'll still take a few bite 3 stars - average 4 stars - good 5 stars - excellent, memorable The bite size cream puffs were underwhelming. The canneles were quite brunt on all 4 of the bottom and burnt some on the top. l find it unethical that they even sell that?? ($12 for box of 4) Bread pudding was dark and burnt. The cheese puffs were small and barely any cheese. Knowing how it taste now, I wouldn't even get it for $1, let alone $4. Olive & rosemary bun is really this small bun the size of the palm of a hand - $5.25. I think money is better is better spent at B. Patisserie or Arisca read more

I saw ads for this bakery on Instagram and on Facebook and decided to give it a try. I knew about choux from watching the Great British Bake Off and wanted to support a local business. I ordered a dozen cream puffs over the phone and picked them up on a Saturday afternoon. Parking can be pretty difficult around this area so it would be wise to come with another person so that they can circle around the block while you pick up your order, or even just turn on the emergency blinkers for a couple minutes. I ordered the vanilla, chocolate, raspberry, and hazelnut flavors. I love that the chocolate flavor tasted distinctly different than the hazelnut, which I was initially worried about. The hazelnut flavor definitely had a nuttiness and a less pronounced chocolate-y flavor compared to chocolate. The vanilla and raspberry flavors tasted wonderful too. I loved that all flavors of filling were just right in sweetness, not too sweet! Appearances wise, they're beautiful, which is why a box of choux would make a great gift for someone. Texture of the pastry wise, it's not my favorite. I like that it's thin but it's soft (could just be the nature of choux) whereas I prefer my cream puff shells to be on the crispy side. Overall I give this place 3.5 stars, rounding up to 4 in light of the pandemic. Would I come back to buy more choux for myself? Probably not. To be fair, I only tried their choux; they serve other types of pastries as well that may be better than their choux. Am I glad that I tried these at least once? Yes! Are they worth the price? Hmmm I think so. They're a little pricey but not the most expensive dessert. Would I recommend that you try these if you haven't already? Absolutely. read more

A cute little cream puff boutique. Whereas Beard Papa goes big, they are basically like a 2-bite ordeal, which is perfect to try a few different flavors in one go. The cream filling here is especially artisanal. Chocolate Choux: A classic cream puff filling. Thick and intense chocolate cream pairs so well against the firm doughy shell. Kinda glad this was a small bite because a Beard Papa sized puff would be too overwhelming. Raspberry Choux: Very refreshing. Appreciate how it was heavy on the raspberry instead of merely being lightly flavored raspberry cream. It was almost like the fruitiness/creaminess of a good sherbet, but obviously not frozen. Pistachio Choux: Very good. Didn't taste like the fake pistachio ice cream. Was more like pistachio version of marzipan. Similar to the pistachio paste I've had in a some random European chocolates. Lemon Choux: If you like lemon curd, this is for you. Tons of creamy lemon curd filling. Not really my thing, but I still appreciated it. read more

Cute little shop to pick up some quick desserts at, for some reason in the pictures I assumed each choux would be the size of a muffin but when I got there they were like brownie bites (tasty ones). Ordered (Favorite to least favorite): Canneles - First time having a cannele but this may have set the standard, the outside was crispy but the custard inside was still creamy and I'd hate to say but I didn't order enough of these Salted Caramel Choux - I'm not that big on sweets so the salted caramel is the winner for me between the three choux I bought, not overly salty nor sweet Passionfruit Choux - Both tangy and sweet, and initially I thought it may have been the lemon (which is also supposed to be recommended) Hazelnut Choux - Rich and nothing spectacular read more

After 8 years I finally tried it. It's so good. Never get the chance to go check the store in person yet. I ordered via DoorDash. And all I can say the best cream puffs!! I called the store to personally thank them for the goodies and for being extra with their customers!!! Will definitely order in the future, or maybe tomorrow! read more

Choux is a solid 3.5 stars in my book. I ordered a box of 4 choux pastry/cream puff since I wanted to try a few of the flavors. I ended up ordering passion fruit, vanilla, hazelnut, and raspberry. I found the actual pate de choux to be a bit too dense for my liking, but I found the pastry cream to be superb. Each one had a really good flavor. My favorites were the hazelnut and passion fruit. Overall, I'm not sure I'd come back again to try their cream puffs, but their other selections of financiers would definitely be something I'd want to try in the future. read more

Amazing. Saw an ad on Instagram while we were in SF. We had other dessert plans for the day, but after seeing the pics we had to try here. We were so glad we did! It's a tiny place in a super cute neighborhood. There were couple of people in front of us, but it went fast. When we got to the front, we knew right away we wanted the cinnamon brioche and when given the flavors of cream puffs, decided on lemon, lime, cookies & cream and raspberry. Everything was incredibly delicious. The lemon one was my fave. So lemony. I loved the little meringue on top too! We also witnessed an incredibly rude and entitled customer. She felt with them with so much grace. She was incredibly kind to us. Thank you so much, you made our day! We will be back the next time we are in the city! read more

Choux had a booth at the Bastille Day celebration in San Francisco. My friends and I were really curious to try these little pastries out as they looked beautifully delicious. We got a box of four to share and they were decadent pieces of heaven. The raspberry cake and creme brûlée cream puff pastries were my favorite. The pastry tastes like a Madeline and is so rich and buttery. The creme brûlée was so creamy and light. A box of 4 of these were $11. Not bad as they were so tasty. I would get them again if I lived closer! read more

Choux - Raspberry, Nutella, chocolate raspberry, and vanilla - Bakeries Near Me - San Francisco, California

So overpriced for what it is. I tried their mixed box, and I have to say I was thoroughly unimpressed. Don't get me wrong. The cream puffs tasted fine. Nothing to write home about, but nothing wrong with them either. I just can't justify the price tag for 4 tiny cream puffs. Sorry, I haven't gotten to the financial independence level that I'd shell out $15 for 4 bites of cream puff. I'm glad I tried it, but definitely won't be coming back. read more

This lovely pastry shop is named around cream puffs! A Choux, pronounced ''shoo'' is a french of cream puff." le choux à la crème -- French cream puffs. The puffs are yummy and light. Perfect for small gifts. read more

This place is absolutely incredible and deserves much more recognition! Everything they offer is delicious, flavorful, light, and not too sweet. My favorites are the chouquets, which are perfectly airy and done in the french way. These are also quite hard to find across US bakeries. They also have several french patisseries that are rare in regular bakeries, such as financiers and caneles de bordeaux (both amazing!!!). The owner and staff are all so incredibly kind, and any visit to this very cute bakery is enough to brighten your whole day- it's done so for me countless times!!! Cannot recommend this spot enough :) read more

Overall experience is pretty good. I ordered online and scheduled pick up on weekend. 1. My fav is canele. They are not overwhelmingly sweet like other pastries. The texture is very fluffy. 2. Choux - I ordered a box of 4 and they pick the flavors, which can be hit and miss. Chocolate flavor is really amazing! I haven't tried other pastries yet. I will update my review once I tried those. read more

A family friend brought a box of these to a New Year's gathering. Needless to say, the entire box was practically licked clean by the end of the day. It was just that good. The exterior of the cream puffs were light, crispy, and sweet. The cream filling was to die for. Highly recommend!! read more

Addicting flavor! I got a box of 4. Size is small, but very tasty. Original is my favorite!

We ordered a delivery, and got multiple colorful boxes delivered, with: 8 cream puffs 4 canelé 1 Cheddar gougère cheese puff 1 Pumpkin Biscoff Tarte The cream puffs are really fun. The most outstanding was was the Lemon cream puff, but raspberry and the Biscoff cookie cream were also good. When you take a bite from the canelé, you will have an uncontrollable food moan. Delicious! Chewy and moist on the inside, crunchy on the outside. The cheese puff is also tasty, like a nice cheese börek, but it's too expensive for a crazy price of $4 per cheese puff! The Biscoff Tarte is very very pumpkin-y. Take it if you are serious fall season fans. read more

The reason for the one less star - they were out for most choux flavors on Saturday afternoon and said it would take about 20 mins to get the flavors of our choice. We were able to get the honey lavender and salted caramel. The custards were amazing. Delicately flavored. Lovely choux. This place is a must try ! read more

I really want to love Choux. I've been a few times over the past few years, but my last two experiences really were a let down. Choux is a small bakery in San Francisco with a single storefront. They specialize in "choux au craquelin", but also offer other pastries and pâte de fruits. The cream puffs are unique. The flavors are fairly traditional. They offer a lot of filling. Compared to competitors Choux does not fill to order. My cream puffs tasted great the same day purchased. But the morning after they were soggy and lacked the same depth of flavor. The price is high for what you get. If they were the same price and 50% bigger I'd be happy. My biggest complaint is the service. Over the past few months during the pandemic I stopped in as their door was open, social media said open, and website said open. When I asked one of the workers if I could order they said they were closed. Mind you it was midday. When I reached out online, they told me they are only open for a few hours on the weekend. My most recent visit last week the store front looked disheveled and a mess. They are not allowing employees to walk inside. Though mind you going inside would only be a couple feet until you reached a counter. The display looked nothing like the pictures. Cream puffs were tossed on a sheet pan and put into the display case. Looking around the bakery it looked disorganized. Yes, it's a working bakery, but even working bakeries can be clean. The service was mediocre. I asked what flavors they had today. And was told "lemon, chocolate, vanilla, pistachio". No descriptive words, no "with a candied hazelnut garnish", and no mention of anything they were making that would be out soon. When asked about pate a fruits she pulled down a glass jar that was hidden away and said "oh yeah I guess we have these". No label, no date, no sticker on the bag, etc. I ended up ordering a couple cream puffs. The cashier seemed out off since I wouldn't but 4 so they wouldn't move in the box. I just don't think Choux cares. read more

Ordered Choux cream puffs for delivery on doordash. I got a box of 8, in which they let you pick 4 flavors. I got the raspberry, lemon, cookie butter, and matcha. They were really cute and cane in a pretty box :) I really liked the matcha and cookie butter flavors, but would prefer if the puffs were crispier. They weren't too sweet either which I liked. Also liked how small they were that I could try a couple different flavors at a time! read more

Came back two weeks ago. Picked up my usual 4 fanancier and 8 of the caneles. The fanancier was great but every single one of the Caneles was burnt! Unsure of what happened or are they practicing cutting cost if they screwed up and burn things. Instead of tossing it. They sell it to a very unlucky customer like me. I don't care for business that trying to cut corners or rude or just plain nasty. So I am going to give them another chance in the near future. Don't get me wrong. I still like their pastries but with it being pricey. I am not going to keep on spending money for burnt food. Not ok and please be more careful and check your goods before selling it to customers. read more
