They use only use regional whole milk, and their fruit ingredients represent 60-70% of those sorbet and ice cream flavors; plus, everything is organic.

They also have an adjoining small cafe area that serves up crepes and coffee. Credit cards are accepted.

My daughter took me to this shop for praluline brioche. At first glance of it, I was thinking what…read moreis so special about this. It just looked like a large round piece of bread with red pieces in it. She insisted that we get it and promised that it would be amazing. I said ok and for a large piece, the amount was 12.70 euro. I thought that was a little expensive for bread, but she said "Mom it is worth every cent." Because I was visiting her in Lyon, I said fine, still apprehensive about it. We took the loaf and my daughter could not wait to eat it for after dinner treat, so we walked over to a bench looking at the Saone River in Vieux Lyon to have a bite. She opened the beautifully wrapped package and handed me a piece. Wow, it was so buttery, sweet and delicious. Incredible! I couldn't believe how good it was. One bite lead to another, until we ate 2/3 of the loaf. Please note that this is suppose to be shared with at least 4 to 6 people. We totally ruined our appetite for dinner eating this decadent brioche. I let her know that we she comes home for Christmas to bring me back two loaves. It is a must eat!

Given that I have an endoscopy at Christmas time to evaluate whether or not I am going to be able to get gluten free food on prescription, I need to eat from gluten from now until then. Despite being apprehensive about all the tummy troubles I may encounter, I have to admit that I am also looking forward to eat a few of my old favourites, and try some of the local cuisine which would have previously been off limits. So, first thing I eat with gluten turns out to be a croissant. The second thing-cookies. I was walking through Grenoble, tired and low on sugar, when I spotted this cute little shop which specialises in cookies, but also sells a few scones and brownies. I really love places which specialise in a certain product, it usually means that the quality is very good. So I went in, felt a little overwhelmed by the choice of cookies available, and eventually settled for: One dark chocolate and ginger, one white chocolate and citron, one salted caramel. The cookies are disappointingly small if you consider the price, each little mouthful costing 1.10 euros. That's the kind of money I would expect to pay for a refined little macaroon with pistachio cream, not a rustic cookie. Nevertheless, I bought it. Surely it's worth a try? I bought the cookies home, had the white chocolate as an afternoon snack, the other two as a pudding after dinner... I must say, I was disappointed by the stodgy consistency, lack of chocolate and mild flavour. I expected a real bite in the dark chocolate and ginger, but it was surprisingly dry and quite lacking. The white chocolate tasted strongly of citron, but I couldn't taste the white chocolate. The salted caramel was quite nice, still stodgy, but okay really. Not worth the price though. I doubt I will be returning to Adélaide cookies, not when there are so many other lovely places in town which serve up gourmet patisseries, cookies which are loaded with chocolate and satisfying crepes. If you want the best cookies in the world, I would recommend going elsewhere...

Similarly priced to American artisans, and that is to suggest most items topping 3€ each, it was largely with a focus on novelties as well as recommendations before personal favorites that the order progressed, a total bill of 20€ yielding seven items which were boxed and bagged as we discussed dining back across the Atlantic, suggestions for local spots offered and appreciated despite a dining agenda that was already jammed packed. Taking items to a small park in order to enjoy, parking no doubt a hot commodity before meters engaged at 9:00, it was with little hesitation that first bites were taken of each warm donut and although the yeasty brioche-style base was absolutely immaculate, all but the dark chocolate frosting featured an 'off' mouthfeel that came off almost waxy, the sweetness nowhere near that of versions served stateside and not at all on par with Donuts Factory, a place to be visited later on the eating tour of Lyon. Moving on to the "don't call it a cupcake - cupcakes are frosted" muffin, suffice it to say that French cocoa studded with Valrhona's dark chocolate chips is likely to upgrade anything being done with food coloring and Hershey's throughout most of the American South, and although a dollop of cream cheese frosting may have upped the ante a bit it really wasn't needed in the setting of such high quality ingredients, the same to be said of a crispy-rimmed chocolate chip cookie dense with nuts amidst a soft center and the best-of-the-morning "Nymy" that featured a puddle of ganache amidst a cocoa base with streaks of caramel, toffee, and hazelnuts making each bite a new experience waiting to be found.

I walked by this place and saw all the beautiful meringues on display, and loved watching the pastry chefs work their magic with the mixers, making each dessert, and going inside and smelling all the sweet sugar and freshly baked goods. After reading all the rave reviews, I decided I wanted to try this and we got the praline flavor. The meringue is basically the base of the dessert and then it's topped with a chantilly cream which is really fresh and then it's topped with nuts or chocolate flakes, depending on the flavor. We got the praline one and it was topped with almonds and hazelnuts. While everything was really fresh and the pastry was light, it was just really sweet. Neither of us were really craving more, and we were glad we had only just gotten one to share. I can't remember the exact price but it was somewhere around 2,50-3€. For me, I'd much rather have an ice cream or some other kind of French patisserie. The desserts here are certainly unique and you probably won't find things like this elsewhere, but just not for me. I wouldn't come back here nor recommend it.

I also got their macarons, which were a bit smaller, but they're about half the price of Seve down the hall. Macarons are a little softer here if you prefer that style (I personally want mine to hold up a bit better). In addition to standard flavors, they had some interesting flavors: - Speculoos - Banana and ginger The other patisserie items were super pretty, but I didn't get to try any of them. They would definitely be nice to being to someone's home as a host / hostess gift.

Small in size, and in a way 'overcrowded' with confections crawling up to the door plus two glass cases featuring macarons and plated desserts sitting to the right and at the back of the store, entry to Chokola is perhaps an intended case of sensory overload as notes of cocoa and sugar permeate the air, the guest at first seemingly left alone to take it all in and peruse the options but later a bit disconcerting when the staff barely acknowledges a "bonsoir" or request for assistance at the glass jars containing caramels just a few meters away. Undeterred by the ennui, largely as a result of being impressed by the craftsmanship shown in almost every concoction from tablets of chocolate to classic desserts given an upgrade through whimsical inspirations, it was finally after approximately ten minutes of gathering and boxing that 29.45€ was exchanged for nine different selections, and taking the items to the street for consumption later on the first bites of caramel proved a bit less flavorful than expected, the vanilla version a far better investment with a good melt and plenty of butter, a similar flavor profile found in the Butter Caramel macaron while the rest of the small cookies ranged from a jammy and delicious strawberry to Pistachio that was too sweet and almost 'gummy,' the latter likely a result of having sat in the case for too long. Enjoying the rest of the items after dinner while relaxing alongside the river outside the hotel, suffice it to say that by focusing on favorites there was little chance that Bouillet was going to fail in impressing a prone palate, yet as much as I anticipated enjoying the trio selected there was no way to anticipate just how good each of the three items would be - the fully saturated baba using a meringue-like topping to temper the alcohol while both the tarte tatin and St. Honore saw a traditional preparation placed atop a flaky butter crust, the former absolutely packed with caramelized apples while the balls of stuffed choux and light cream rested on a crème caramel that poured forth just seconds after fork cracked the base.
