I hate giving out reviews with less than 3 stars, especially to bakeries here in France. However,…read moremy husband and I were disappointed with the macarons we bought here. Although most people associate the macaron with Paris, it was originally made in Saint-Emilion. According to local legend, the macaron was created by Carmelite nuns who wanted to use almond flour as the base because it was filling. Macarons here are slightly different because the recipe uses freshly ground almonds instead of the drier almond flour used in most macaron recipes. This recipe results in a denser macaron. The macarons we bought here were very expensive and quite stale. I understand that we arrived during the off-season and during a time when the country was still under a form of lockdown (people from outside of France could not travel here), so they may not have been as fresh. However, the price should have been accordingly adjusted for an item that was less than fresh, which is customarily done here.

Really small shop. Can only for 10 people max. There are known for a type of macaron you can only…read morefind here. Taste exactly the same but has no color or cream. It was larger and covered with nuts. I thought it was spectacular. If you're near and want a unique culinary experience, this is a place to visit.! Not so humbly submitted, Michael C.

The patisserie has nice choice of french cakes, tarts and pastries. There is also a wide choice of single origin pralines to choose from. We ended up buying a few pastries and they were really good. The chocolate eclair was to die for :-) Prices are reasonable here and staff friendly. Happily come here again.

We stopped at this patisserie to grab food before canoeing down the Dordogne River! This was a…read moregreat place for our needs as we were looking to pick up salads and sandwiches. The sandwiches are pre-made and they were pretty good. They had the usual variety of Jamon, salami, cheese, etc. I thought it was good not great. They also had tartines which are open faced sandwiches. We got a cheese, chicken, and mushroom tartine that was cold--essentially like eating cold pizza but good. They also have a wide variety of sweets here that all looked delicious although we did not buy. Even though I thought the savory food was just ok, this place is well air conditioned and was open when other places were closed! Definitely a cute place with nice staff. Also, i double checked the address and I do not believe the picture shown in the banner on Yelp is the correct photo of the place--I am attaching a photo of the outside that has glass windows/ doors and a gray overhang. Would still recommend going here to grab food before the river!

You'll find the "traditional" baguette (my favorite) still warm, displayed amongst a variety of baguettes and freshly baked breads. The breakfast pastries (as we Americans like to call them) are divine. Simple, delicious and always fresh. The "pain aux raisin" is a favorite along with the traditional croissant and the heavenly almond croissant. Get there early and you'll see all the fixin's for the sandwiches freshly prepared and waiting for your selection. I've never indulged in their dessert style pastries though they too look inviting. I'm too busy shoving bite size pieces of warm baguette into my mouth to give it more thought. Lucky me, this little jewel is located just at the end of my street! I've experienced warm baguettes at all times of the day. You will not be disappointed if you pop into Le Pain d'Elise!

At €1.90 each, they're not cheap, but this was the best one I've had in Bordeaux. The outside has a nice caramelized crust, the inside is still moist by not too dense, and it's not overly sweet. They have other things in the shop like nice chocolates, chocolate bars, desserts, madelines, sables, etc. I would definitely recommend this place for a canele in Bordeaux.
