AUX DELICES DE SAINT-JEAN
Read moreLocated rue Saint-Jean, as indicated by its name (please note, don't mistake it, it's the last right by going to the bridge), this pastry bakery actually reserves some delights, as its name also indicates. Start with bread: if you like cereals, the norlander is to test absolutely (it looks like vollkornbrot, but less tassé). Chopsticks, cereals or simple versions are also excellent: It would be a wish! Another wonder: the macaroons (certainly in the head tiercé of the best in Caen!). On the side of the pastry side, even if you don't play the card of refinement with regard to aspects, it's tasty and the little side of the "home made has its charm". If quiches and other pizzas also suffer from an unlikely aspect, you can make an option on sandwiches. A good plan for a small break, including at lunchtime, because there are high tables. If you are bored, you can always watch passers-by and other car drivers Rue Saint-Jean…
BOULANGERIE JOLIN

For dinner on Saturday evening, salted fours (puff dough is all in finesse) and let them know that they are chocolate makers! Moreover, for receptions it is also an address to remember: small furnaces, salted and other pastries, make your choice!

BOULANGERIE LS VIVIEN
Read moreWhat a stack! Vivien Le Sénéchal took over this bakery two years ago and remodeled it in his own image, whether it be the decor or the products and their quality. Here everything is fresh and homemade, from the mayo to the chicken cooked on the spot to the salted butter caramel. We recommend the zebra bread (with coal and corn) as beautiful as good or the macaroons. As for the croissants, they are to die for! Listening to his customers, he adapts to their requests to concoct new recipes like this cookie without hazelnuts or almonds. At the top!
