Where to buy bread cakes chocolates ice cream Congo Brazzaville

An integral part of the Pontenegrin landscape, La Citronnelle is an unmissable meeting place - usually for business - and a good haunt for newcomers to the city. Above all, it's a very good bakery-pastry shop, with a wide choice of viennoiseries and cakes. The establishment also serves fast food for savory cravings. Its terrace on the avenue allows you to observe the hustle and bustle of the street, even if the general hubbub doesn't facilitate conversation: in this case, prefer the inside and its large air-conditioned room.

If you miss the traditional jambon-beurre, push open the door of this chic, black-clad bakery/pastry shop, where you'll find crusty baguette bread and a multitude of viennoiseries, each more appetizing than the last. Le Pain de Sucre also attracts crowds for its variety of cakes and pastries, as well as its artisanal ice creams, produced to the highest standards. Two small eateries allow you to sample all their products on the spot, at no extra charge. Very pleasant welcome.

Jean-Maurice Ouakatoulou, a former biochemistry student who studied in Cameroon and Japan, had long had the idea of making his own chocolate. Now he has his own small factory in Pointe-Noire! In the adjoining boutique, you can buy delicious 100% Congolese chocolate. Let yourself be tempted by his original chocolates, such as whisky and amarula. He also sells aphrodisiac sweets, cocoa powder and spreads.

It's the place to be for Congolese families and Westafs to come and enjoy an ice cream at the weekend. The ice creams, although industrial, are tasty and delicious. There's something for everyone: strawberry, mango, yoghurt, chocolate, salted butter caramel... The establishment also offers hamburger menus and inexpensive Asian formulas, as well as pizzas and meat brochettes. The place isn't very big, but you can sit in the small interior room or on the terrace overlooking the city's main boulevard. Friendly welcome.

Close to the Moungali market, this establishment, part tea room and part snack bar, is a good option for a drink and a sweet or savoury snack outside the city center. With a good choice of sandwiches and other snacks, dripping pastries, fluffy crêpes and decent croissants, it's hard to resist one of these sweet treats prepared on the premises. Occasionally, a terrace overlooking the "tar" of Avenue de la Paix is set up for customers. The welcome is not always pleasant, too bad!

Like its big sister in Brazzaville, the Pain de Sucre bakery-pastry shop delights lovers of French baguettes, viennoiseries, cakes, artisanal ice creams and espresso coffee. Popular with Pontegrin families and expatriates alike, it's a popular spot for breakfast and snacks, where the temptation of the tempting shop window is easily tempted. In Pointe-Noire, the establishment boasts a large, shady, leafy terrace, a pleasant place to relax. A smiling welcome and a competent team.
