They have so many options for bread and pastries and sandwiches and everything I've tried is insanely good, particularly their baguettes and chocolate croissants. The staff is so kind and welcoming and I can't recommend this place enough!

Fantastic croissants and chocolate croissants comparable to the elite Le Pains de Idees in Paris…read more Their baguette, one of the many varieties, the long one I tried was a basic one but a lovely one. The Madeline's were lovely too. A nice bakery to say the least. My favorite element would be the ovens and the conveyer belt you can see behind the counter with the bread going in and out. Reasonable prices, excellent selection and cute location. Can't complain. We went in November on a Tuesday morning and there was no one in the shop, a few patrons arrived after us. If there was a line for this I definitely wouldn't wait, it's not that good. However I'm under the impression that this is the best bakery in the central historic part of Bordeaux.

Lucky for us, this boulangerie was just a 2-minute walk from our AirBnB during our recent stay in…read moreBordeaux. Located right next to the Saint Michel cathedral, it faces the open square and is surrounded by several other cute restaurants and shops. There is no seating inside, but there is plenty of seating in the square. It's a popular spot so there is usually a line, but the lines moves quickly. Of course, order your daily baguette here (we did!). But in addition to their fresh baked breads, they also offer some pastries such as classic French croissants, cannelés, madeleines, and more. I found their prices to be extremely reasonable compared to other boulangeries in the area (we did our own boulangerie crawl), and the service was fast and friendly.

But they are even tastier. Apparently they have custard and rum inside but I couldn't taste either. Price is pretty reasonable at 6 for 6.5 Pain au chocolat was also fairly good.

I didn't understand the love of canelés until I had one in Bordeaux where they originated. Now they…read morehold a special place in my heart next to macarons and kouign amanns! I fell in love with the amazing contrast of caramelized chewy outside and the fluffy, eggy center. Not to mention they taste like the best vanilla cake with a hint of rum. There are two main canelé producers in Bordeaux with many outlets around town - La Toque Cuivrée and Baillardran. Having tried both, I preferred La Toque Cuivrée slightly more for their stronger rum flavor and better outside chew. It's also nice that the price is a third of the other brand. Both brands make canelés in a small, medium, and large size. After many taste tests (and some more for good measure), I found that the medium size had the best ratio of outside chewy crust and soft inside. Baillardran had notable visible specks of vanilla bean in their largest size and prominent vanilla flavor, but La Toque edged them out with their superior rum taste. Either way though, you can't go wrong. Now if I only I could find this level of Canelé in the US!

They mostly sell Candelés de Bordeaux with a few other pastry items on the side. The candelés were great! They are small sweet pastries with a crunchy sugary shell and a chewy center. Definitely a must try when visiting Bordeaux! We were able to get a box of 8 medium sides candelés for 4 euros. -- Service -- This is a walk-up window bakery. They do not have a public area inside or seating. They do accept credit cards and speak enough English to make a purchase without any issues. -- Location -- The bakery is located on the Promenade of Saint Catherine, near the Apple store. It is a great location for people staying near the many tourist areas or if you're shopping on St Catherine.
