The best bakeries Reims

A new page has been turned for the emblematic wood-fired oven, which has been replaced by Boulangerie Pauline. While the establishment has kept the famous oven that made its reputation, the windows now showcase Pauline Arrigault's magnificent pastry creations in an invitingly gourmet setting. From seasonal fruit tarts to pavlova and tiramisu rémois, each dessert is a real jewel, just waiting to be savored. As for the bakery, her husband Anthony, a baker from grandfather to grandson, takes care of the breads. You'll find timeless sourdough breads and new creations that go wonderfully well with home-made jam.

The latest addition to Stéphane and Peggy Kikel is the Garance bakery! A gourmet place named after their daughter, it is the perfect complement to their three other establishments in the Cernay district. After the bistro-gastro, the food bar and the caterer, all that was missing was a good address to enjoy a good sourdough bread and some sweets at home. Between a rich variety of breads, original pastries and gourmet viennoiseries, you will also find some savory pleasures, something to eat well or eat on the go at lunch time, generous sandwiches well filled, savory pies and delicious truffled croques.

It's hard to miss this charming boutique without window-shopping. A real institution in Reims, this period Art Deco tea room has been delighting young and old since 1923. Splendid glass roof, ironwork, chandeliers, mosaics, the Waida family has made this bakery-pastry shop an intimate, intergenerational place where the pleasure comes first by admiring the beautiful pastries and tasting a pistachio snail and cherries with delicious Valrhona chocolate chips. At lunchtime, we stop for a gourmet lunch break to taste generous omelettes, well stocked salads and the delicious daytime dish, to be enjoyed on site or taken away.

This famous address in the Halles district delights customers with its gourmet and original creations and its quality bread with a soft, finely honeycombed crumb, which is invited to the tables of the city's best restaurants. Chocolate lovers will not be left out and will find their happiness between the devils and the homemade spreads. We also fall for the house specialty: the iconic caramelized pie with its shortbread dough topped with a tasty ganache and caramel with fleur de sel, a pure delight!

This artisanal bakery offers one of the best butter croissants in the Marne thanks to the incomparable know-how of Patrice Madelaine. In the window, you will find beautiful pastries for gourmet breakfasts, but also tasty pastries and original creations such as the house speciality from Reims, not to be missed: the parvis de Reims, a sweet pink cake, with champagne marc and pink cookies, a delight!

Thomas Zajac and Honorine Herry have taken over the reins of the unmissable address on the corner of rue de Tambour and place de l'Hôtel-de-Ville, and welcome you to their pantagruelic bakery. A gourmet stopover that continues to delight epicureans with the same great recipes that have made it such a success. In addition to classic sourdough breads and other locally-flavored delicacies, you'll also find a sprinkling of novelties, with original creations like lemon tarts as light as a cloud, blending with the sunny scent of pesto, as well as heart-warming cinnamon rolls and Polish babkas.

There's a sweet smell that takes us back to childhood in Frédéric Lefèvre's brand new bakery. Back to simple values, here nostalgic people will have the joy of rediscovering the authentic flavour of their Proust's madeleine through a beautiful range of simple and greedy pastries, made with local ingredients: a whole milk flan flavoured with a vanilla pod, a beautiful range of eclairs, pure butter croissants with a nice flaky texture, without forgetting the essential, a quality bread, a 100% local baguette and special breads by the slice.

Every day has its own bread at La Panacée! In their unusual bakery, Julien Guillot and Marion Menu offer you a different kind of bread every day, 100% organic, naturally leavened and handmade. In addition to the classics, on their bread calendar you'll find, depending on the day of the week and the season, original breads made with buckwheat, rye, corn or ancient wheat flours, and low-gluten breads made with rice, spelt, flax, quinoa and even green lentil flours! And just for gourmets, don't miss fruit breads like Byzance with apples, figs and poppy seeds, a delight!
