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.

They have a lot of original and unique flavors like "crème brûlée ", "poppy" or "Kouignamnan" We took a double in a homemade cone : strawberry and carambricot ( mix of caramel and apricot ) It was delicious and perfect ! The waffle cone was really good too ! Ils ont de délicieuses glaces ! Le choix e parfums est large et varié, et certaines sont plutôt originales comme " crème brûlée", "coquelicot" ou encore " Kouignamnan " Nous avons pris une double dans un cornet maison : fraise et carambricot ( un délicieux mélange de caramel et abricot ) C'était très bon et parfait ! Le cornet gaufré était aussi excellent

This is THE BEST ICE CREAM PARLOUR I HAVE BEEN TO IN MY LIFE SO FAR…read more There are about 80 different flavours, all of amazing quality. I sampled 10 different scoops in one day (about 5 were just mine!) I can't talk this up enough. I'm an ice cream fiend and this is the most amazing place to visit and definitely the best in La Rochelle, which has a lot of good ice cream parlours already ;-)

This review is just for the canele. There are a couple of local chains that focus on caneles , but…read moreI had read hat David Capy had one with a nicer outer shell. 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.

Bien sûr, l'été, l'établissement est pris d'assaut par les touristes en quête de fraîcheur et de gourmandise. Comme tous les goûts sont dans la nature les parfums des glaces oscillent entre la classique vanille chocolat et l'original malabar. Entre sorbets ou crèmes, le choix peut vite devenir cornélien.
