I had the most amazing tart ever in Bordeaux, the city best known for wine, well at least to most…read morepeople. However, to me, this will always be best remembered as the city with the "the most awesome tarts evah" since even after spending 3 days here, the moment that stood out to me the most was eating Le Buro des Possibles' desserts!
Though this place was amazing, unfortunately, I couldn't give Yelp credit for this visit. This place was too under the radar as despite having a 5 star rating, it only had 3 reviews and was located in a small quaint street away from the center. So in most cases, I would've probably never found it. But I've been lucky on this trip, as in this case, a store associate down the street happened to direct me to this cafe when I asked for a good pastry shop. And thank goodness she did because little did I know that in only a few steps this little spot would blow me away.
Get them tarts and you'll see why. Their orange cream/chocolate ganache tart and lime tart were amazing with all the flavors spot on! I also liked that the crusts for both held their integrity despite being a mix of Graham cracker and Speculoos which added an extra layer of flavor to the tarts. At 4.5EU a piece, they were a steal and left me feeling full in the belly and, most importantly, full of happiness. Days after, I'm still talking about these pastries with my dad who visited the shop with me and anyone else who comes in contact with me. Though I was hyping up their tarts to the max, I can't forget to mention their teas. I got their The Des Posibles while my dad got the Mis'o Green (disclaimer: it's not related to miso in flavor whatsoever) and they were lovely! We received a whole pot and not only where they fragrant, but they were such a great compliment to the tarts which were on the sweeter side.
The space was a nice spot to relax as it was comfortable and perfect for any hipster looking to get some work done (I think they rent out some space in the other part of the cafe?) haha. The shop owner working there and her daughter(?) were both very sweet and helped give stellar recommendations in and outside of this cafe. I say also outside the cafe because since we just so happened to be looking for a dinner spot for later on, we asked the locals where the best eats were as it worked out so well for us previously! The owner was a super foodie and was able to point me to a few of her favorites (I shall write about La Tupina later if I don't forget) in which we ended up visiting and enjoying very much! And because of all of this, taking a break at this little cafe with my dad will always be something I'll remember from my short trip to Bordeaux. I hope that others who visit this city pays a visit to Le Buro Des Possibles for a nice afternoon snack/break and a tart they won't forget!
