Where to buy bread cakes chocolates ice cream Angers

It's not just ice creams and sorbets that are sold here... With some twenty flavors, each more delicious than the last, Olivier Onfroy is first and foremost a merchant of happiness! A true artisanal ice-cream maker, as expert in classic flavours as in the most original. We fall for his lead recipe, but also for the rose, violet, tiramisu, peach-hibiscus iced tea, rhubarb or peanut and fleur de sel flavors. All served in cones, jars or to-go tubs (remember to order in advance!)

Established since 2012 in Saint-Georges-sur-Loire (store and workshop), Anthony and Isabelle Begou now offer their chocolates to a city-center clientele who should soon be hooked on their sublime morsels: Gianduja, fleur de sel, coconut, crêpe bretonne, arabica, ginger, rocher... the recipes abound! Or 100% homemade tablets, to which are added delicious fruit jellies and, in fine weather, equally successful ice creams and sorbets!

Anne-Françoise Benoit has won countless awards for her talent and audacity! Succeeding her father at the head of the family business, she now offers more than 70 creations, all made from the best cocoas, from Venezuelan Otucan to Peruvian Illanca, via Brazilian Macae. Purists may prefer its dark chocolate bars or ballottines, but the milk recipes are full of inventiveness! The Caramandes®, silver medal winner at the 2017 World Chocolate Awards, is a must-try in the region. A must-try!

Since 1920, the family business Le Roy René has been delighting us with its specialties straight from the South of France, in Aix-en-Provence. Directly inspired by our Good King René, who would have received at his third wedding, according to the legend, a smile-shaped confection, commonly called today calisson, a mixture of crushed almonds, candied melon placed on a sheet of host, topped with an icing. The proposals are not limited to this one specialty, we find all kinds of nougats (pistachio, black, white) or shortbread cookies, or fruit jellies, all manufactured in a traditional way, to preserve the traditional know-how.

This square of caramelized nougatine coated with a blue chocolate imitating slates has celebrated its half-century of existence. In this shop-workshop, it is also available in the form of Petit-Beurre, Easter eggs, or in a dark Quernon version, with a dark chocolate coating. Don't miss the other specialities, exquisite chocolates made with ganache or praline, Mouchoirs de Cholet and others around Cointreau, macaroons, soufflés, morello cherries...

Benoît is not only renowned for its chocolates, but also for its macaroons. Here, the famous almond cake comes in a wide range of flavors: vanilla, chocolate, coffee, rose, praline, caramel, tea, raspberry, blackcurrant, pistachio, lemon... There's something for every taste. And let's not forget the other delicacies on offer: chocolate pastries, tarts, cakes, jams, marrons glacés, calissons or coffee and hot chocolate, as the place also doubles as a tea room. A moment of delight not to be missed!

Always bouchées presented in beautiful boxes, offering a wide variety of products. A rich variety of semi-industrial chocolates of good repute with perhaps still too many pralines in the range. For the fine days, the ice of the house will seduce more than one papilla, with a rather classic but very tasty scent. Sorbets, cream cream (Belgium obliges!), Yogurt (more dietetic)… For those who prefer melting textures, Italian ice creams are generously served. We are here in a quality industrial chocolate, nothing to do with the low prices of the large distribution, but we are still far from the artisanal finesse of the real chocolate makers in Angers.

On the side of the pastries, always the original religious à with pistachio, exquisite cannelés to taste with the coffee, or the true Italian panettone, this brioche with candied fruits and orange bark. At lunchtime, sandwiches made with the good bread of the house await you. In addition, the bakery is open on Sunday morning despite its opening on Monday.

Colors, flavours and especially an incredible diversity of products: the reputation of this small shop of rue Plantagenêt is not any more to make.

The story of Mei Narusawa, a Japanese woman who moved to Europe to learn the art of baking and pastry-making, is a beautiful one. Formerly an employee of the small Carmes bakery, she now runs her own boutique. A store bought from the Carmes bakery, and a must for all lovers of good bread. From sourdough bread to walnut bread, from seeded cobblestones to corn bread, there's nothing wrong here. Delicious viennoiseries and pastries too: cannelés, Madeleines, fondants, brownies...
