Stayed in a nearby town for a few nights. Always came to this town for dinner (Le Nathlo). Saw this…read morebakery while walking around and gave it a try. Brought back some patisserie: Raspberry Tartelette, raspberry mousse, a custard slice, something with coconut and of course a small chocolate tarte. All looked very nice, greatly created. Taste-wise it was all really fine. But compared to the best bakeries on this Road Trip not on par. It lacked a bit that special something. Creme/Mousse all tasted similar, on the sweet side more than on the flavour side. Just could have used more fruit, chocolate etc. than just cream and sugar. Don't get me wrong. These were enjoyable desserts for a good price. And they look very tasty as well. Nice and good - but not outstanding.

Welcoming cafe and coffee shop in La Rochelle. It does not look like much from the outside but the…read moreinside opens up to two more seating areas. Both times I visited a very friendly young man greeted me and was helpful with their food choices. One unusual tart (to me) was a beet tart. I tried it and was surprised that it was slightly sweet - I thought it would be savory. It was very good. Their coffee is amazing as well, they carry decaf and have alternate milk options. I'm eating a pumpkin tart right now and it is hands-down delicious. Give this place a try!

It was explained to me that Paris-Brest was a famous dessert, and that it was the specialty of this…read morebakery. It's beautiful, but unlike most pastry I've had in France so far, it's very, very sweet. Like, make my teeth ache sweet. The other pastry I picked up to try with it was the standard local sweetness, so I'm not certain if the sweetness is part of the actual allure. The people inside were really friendly and helpful. Either way, I may try other items from here in the future, but definitely no more of their specialty dessert.

I've been in and out of this cafe for coffee, tea, and the occasional vegan wrap. It's all been…read moregood, nothing really to comment about, until today. Today I tried their Tarte St Marcellin. It's spinach and ricotta cheese on a very flaky bagel shaped (but not bagel-like) pastry. It's delicious. It doesn't look like there's much going on with it when they present the dish but cut it open and it's stuffed full. Did I mention the pastry is wonderfully flaky? I could eat this every day!

The coffee is excellent and the few items we've tried - like their avocado toast - was creative and tasted good too. There is outdoor seating available on nice days and as it's on a busy corner, there is a lot of fantastic people watching to be done. We really enjoy this cafe.

There is seating outside to people watch, or inside to stay out of the rain and use the free WiFi. The tagline for this cafe is "cookies and coffee shop & girl power" which is something I adore. I don't know if this is a good or bad thing, but when I miss Starbucks, I come here and hang out for a little bit. It's nothing like a Starbucks but I think the clean, welcoming atmosphere is the same.
