The best chocolatiers Angers

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!

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!

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...

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.
