We can't recommend any of them because they are all addictive.

Different flavors: aniseed, almond, pistachio, lemon, plain and a delicious melting sensation on the palate. A real treat. Everything is made on site in the small laboratory, so it's very, very fresh. You'll appreciate the texture of the madeleines, the bits of chocolate, the flaked almonds and the pistachio powder. A gourmet marvel you won't want to miss!

Far from stopping at sweets, Sassoun also offers a range of salted snacks, bites and cheese or meat snacks on order if necessary. Their Lahmajoun is a real delight (it is also called Armenian pizza).

After discovering the small lab on rue Sainte, we fell under the charm of the beautiful pastry shop - tea room opened on place Daviel, between Hôtel-Dieu and montée des Accoules. An elegant facade and a few tables, a modern interior that highlights sweet and savory creations. Gluten-free and lactose-free, sometimes vegan but always 100% organic. It is aesthetically beautiful and gustatively good. A good nose to the preconceived ideas about alternative pastries. New tea room for 2023: 122 rue Sainte, opposite the lab, what a success, bravo!
