The best pastry shops Finistère

Octopus is an exclusively plant-based patisserie, a first in Brest, and even in Brittany! The idea behind this project was Galaad's desire to rethink traditional pastry recipes to create cakes that could be enjoyed by everyone, including vegetarians, vegans and allergy sufferers. As a result, you'll find no milk, eggs, butter or animal gelatin in the pastry chef's entremets, made from natural and organic products, with no additives. Lemon and chocolate tarts rub shoulders with refined fruit creations, evolving with the seasons, as well as pumpkin brioche, buckwheat muffin and hazelnut croquant, for a gourmet moment.

Tasty is a patisserie that lives up to its name: you'll find sweet creations as tasty as each other! Fanny and Etienne welcome you to their small boutique, with its sober, elegant decor that enhances the pastries on offer. On their menu, which varies according to season and inspiration, great classics such as lemon meringue, black forest and chocolate tarts rub shoulders with original creations. As tasty as they are beautiful, the cakes are made with fresh, local produce. And if you're feeling peckish, our praline, caramel and brownie cookies will melt your palate!

Since 2018, pastry chef Christian Kervoern has been officiating in Landerneau at his patisserie on rue de la Fontaine Blanche, right in the heart of the historic center. A true family affair, the little store is entirely dedicated to gourmet delights. Modern and inventive, the pastry creations evolve according to the team's inspirations. As beautiful as they are tasty, they bear witness to passionate, 100% artisanal know-how, and are made with fresh, seasonal produce and a minimum of sugar. Gluten-free and lactose-free cakes are also available. Also a tearoom, the address has a small room upstairs for a refined snack.

In the Pays de Douarnenez, the Boulangerie des Plomarc'h, run by Sylvie and Thierry Lucas for more than 20 years, offers typical Breton specialities. The small red front of this unpretentious bakery is nevertheless clearly visible. Connoisseurs will tell you that here you can taste the best kouign amann from Douarnenez, particularly melting and caramelized. Don't miss the traditional Breton cake, buttered and sweetened to perfection, or the Breton far!

In this soberly elegant patisserie, located not far from Rue de Siam, you'll find original creations that will make your mouth water!

You'll also fall in love with the unusual viennoiseries, such as the salted butter caramel puff pastry. You'll be able to buy good bread, whether dried fruit, gluten-free or plain, prepared with professionalism and certified Label Rouge. A range of savoury snacks is also available to eat in or take away. For the pleasure of your eyes and palate!

A true Brest institution, this top-of-the-range patisserie, run by Philippe Lallemand and his wife, has been offering a variety of entremets, petits câteaux, tarts and macaroons for three generations. You can opt for a family version, for 4, 6 or 8 people, to order. For special occasions, petits fours and pièces montées are also available. Here's a glimpse of our suggestively-named delicacies: "Royal Chocolat", the house's signature dessert (flaky praline, almond cookie, light chocolate mousse), or "L'Alliance" (calisson cookie, chocolate ganache, duo of mandarin and praline mousses). Craftsmanship and family tradition since 1923!

You'll find this cookie factory in Brest at one of its three locations: rue de Lyon in the city center, at the commercial port or in Guipavas. Terre d'embruns offers delicious "baked today" cookies and sweets: kouign-amann, tartelettes, sacristains and palets bretons, all made with natural, local, quality products, ideal for putting together your gourmet basket. Each boutique also has its own tea room, where you can sit down for lunch or a snack, or simply enjoy a cup of coffee.

Larnicol are pastries, such as Breton cake, Nantes cake, but also Torchettes® and finally a large choice of chocolates and other sweet treats. In the shop in Quimper, you will find chocolate creations with themes that adapt to the holidays and the seasons. Next to the shop, a catering service of savoury kouignettes garnished with salmon, Serrano ham, duck or foie gras and spread with onion confit, pesto or tomato tartar is open since the beginning of 2019. To be tested!

This house is adorned with the statue of Philomène, the dressmaker of this former haberdashery. A true Quimper institution, its reputation is so widespread that it has become a national benchmark. Macaroons are available in morello cherry, chocolate, caramel beurre salé, strawberry tagada, fig, lychee, Grand Marnier or vanilla-nougatine... Pastries, viennoiseries and ice creams are also available. We loved the Fresh Raspberry Macaronade with a light vanilla mousseline.

A pink façade, an American diner atmosphere and doughnuts as beautiful as they are delicious... no, this isn't Greta Gerwig's Barbie movie, it's Grandpa Donuts! To satisfy both sweet and savory palates, Morgan offers tasty and highly original recipes. For lunch, treat yourself to a tomato mozza or an egg & bacon donut, and for a snack, why not try a chocolate or caramel donut, or more original flavors like pecan praline?
Here, donuts are entirely homemade: the dough is as melt-in-the-mouth as a brioche and as delicious as a doughnut... all you have to do is give in to temptation!

It's the perfect place to try out all the flavors on offer... And just as well, the variations are as numerous as they are delicious. Even if it's not snack time, there's no time like the present for a treat!

Founded barely a year ago by young Victor Da Silva, this patisserie has nothing to envy the local institutions. At the age of 19, he has excelled in this field, which has fascinated him from an early age. As soon as he graduated, Victor decided to set up his own company to make his own creations. A feast for the eyes as well as the taste buds, it's a successful gamble! You can order your cakes directly from his website or by phone. You can also drop by the boutique in his laboratory, open every Friday. Don't hesitate to contact him even for your most original ideas: he loves a challenge and does it with brio!
