Where to buy bread cakes chocolates ice cream Aix-En-Provence

Shanty cookies is a crazy and humorous idea that crossed the mind of an Aixoise of Indian origin: to decline small messages on pure butter cookies. Since the very beginning, first in her apartment and now in her manufacturing premises in Vitrolles, Shanty has been producing her pure butter cookies in an artisanal way, plain or with different flavors such as lemon, chocolate, hazelnut... From the dough to the parcel sent by her, she does it all! Give her your message to print, a logo, a drawing: our favorites: "mommy is busy, sweetheart", "looking for a rich brown guy" or "I declare you my laziness"... and now in mini format for a funny aperitif!

Meilleur Ouvrier de France, Maître Chocolatier, Pâtissier Confiseur, Philippe Segond continues to diversify his activities. For example, his signature is to be found on the fabulous dessert menu of the Japanese restaurant Koï. We love his gourmet creations, especially his chocolates in all their presentations, in small cakes and mignardises, ganaches, pralines, creams, entremets, bonbons, tablettes, truffles... In his laboratory, he transforms and blends the finest cocoa vintages, sublimating their intense aromas by marrying them with lime, passion fruit, fleur de sel... At Christmas, jewel cases of chocolate sweets compete with festive logs; at Easter, eggs and barnyard poultry make our little ones sparkle with envy. You can enjoy breakfast in the tearoom, with real fruit juice squeezed on demand or a pastry. The atmosphere, like the service, is very pleasant. A gentle break.

This is one of the city's oldest pastry shops, dating back to 1870. A tempting window display and generous pastries with just the right amount of sugar and butter. Whether you come here for melon confit, calissons, biscotins (hazelnuts surrounded by a butter cookie), olives de Provence (almonds surrounded by flaky chocolate) or a tarte au citron (exquisite), you won't be disappointed. The cannelés are extra special, as is the pompe à l'huile, one of the thirteen Christmas desserts. Special mention for the galette des rois. Béchard's frangipane has that little something extra... hazelnut cream, it seems. Too bad, kings only come once a year!

Welcome to this beautiful artisan bakery and patisserie. Everything is made on site, in the morning in the lab: breads, croissants and other special breads like apricot-fig bread, focaccia, focaccia and natural sourdough. A beautiful, transparent space. We're already licking our lips behind the storefront, where loaves of bread are set out on bales of hay. Inside, exposed beams and an open-plan laboratory blend the rustic with the modern. A few tables to enjoy the lovely setting and take a gourmet break. Take a bite of these delicious raspberry croissants, or try the sweet palm and caramel knot.

Farinoman - Benoît, in real life - Quebec baker, crazy about flours and breads, puts poetry, humour and love in his loaves and baguettes.

A provence reference in the area of gourmet gastronomy, the family sign was founded in 1780. As a Pastry Master, the Best worker in France, Philippe Segond put his creative talent at the service of this house from 2013 to 1982, he made his fame beyond our borders. This artisan craftsman has launched a new challenge by creating his new eponymous brand and new recipes.

Calissons also make us always melt pleasure…

The calissons of the Confiserie du Roy René are among the best in Aix. Founded in 1920, it brings together the factory, the Calisson Museum and the shop. On direct sale, small calissons high in colour and flavour as well as a whole range of "spreads", cooked in a cauldron and combined with the famous Calisson du Roy René cream! In spring, home-made ice creams. Take the opportunity to visit the museum free of charge and observe the workshops where these sweets are made.

This bakery at the bottom of rue Espariat is an institution for the people of Aix-en-Provence. Kneaded, shaped and baked by the 100% artisan baker, the bread is soft and crisp all day long. The viennoiseries are delicious, and breakfast can be taken on the premises, with two tables set up in the window. We also recommend the pastries. Provencal specialties such as gibassier and pompe à huile are served at Christmas time.

The Roelandts family has been passionately running this fine gourmet chain since 1967. The chocolates are handmade to the highest standards in Puyricard itself. The collections follow the seasons, and each year new creations enrich the palette of flavors. While chocolate is Puyricard's trademark, the company also offers calissons, confectionery - the marshmallows are a delight - and ice creams and sorbets. The production workshops can be visited in Puyricard, where workshops are organized for young and old alike.

There are the emblematic Marseillaises and then there are the Aixoises... The navettes, made by Laëtitia in the lab adjoining the store, are different but just as good as their cousins. Flour, butter, eggs, orange blossom: the ingredients are the same for this long, tender, boat-shaped cookie, a commemorative symbol of the arrival of the Saintes Marie on our Provencal shores. Laëtitia adds her biscuit-making touch, and also makes macaroons, almond croquants, canistrelli and olive oil cake.

Here's an address that smells like good bread kneaded and baked in its own bakery by an artisan baker. Here, everyday bread is a real treat! Country bread, grain bread, salt-free bread, gluten-free bread, sandwich bread, regional pastries, for lunch or a snack at any time of day, with sandwiches, quiches, pizzas and even seasonal salads... But also some sweet treats with pastries, fruit tarts... Building on its success, the bakery has opened a second store a little further up the road, at number 5 rue Jacques de la Roque.

A new bakery and pastry shop in the heart of Aix between Cours Mirabeau and Place d'Albertas, a challenge today? Lionel, pastry chef for 27 years in a gastronomic restaurant, opens here with his wife Martina a boutique of artisanal products; organic breads, artisanal pastries, quality snacks, everything is made from sustainable and controlled agriculture, that is to say, as local as possible and paid at its fair price. A requirement of ethics and taste without counting the heat of the reception and the service for the more particular orders. Do not hesitate, everything will always be very good and very original. We love it and we run there!

Opened in 1830, the Brémond confectionery is Aix's first and oldest calisson factory, located at the time on Cours Mirabeau. Brémond calissons are distinguished by their aromas and textures: candied melon, crushed almonds, candied orange and lemon, and the melting/cracking properties of powdered sugar. The company also produces other sweets, including the famous olivettes, chocolate almonds, candied fruits and marrons glacés, as well as savoury products, oils and tapenades. A treasure trove of local gifts!

This lovely boutique, reminiscent of old and sparkling cottage, opened in 2004 to sell candy. Sylvie, the candy of candy, also offers other gourmet products and a ice card in summer, a fast catering card in winter. In summer, it sells homemade ice creams (Alpine ice) with delicious flavours - gingerbread, purple, liquorice, water-de-rose, lychee, cinnamon (of race!), caramel butter salty, pêche - and textured mint/lemon, coca-cola, strawberry/banana… And also fresh seasonal fruit juices, to make full vitamins. In winter, Sylvie gets to the stove to prepare waffles and pancakes, but also add fresh sauces to accompany a selection of pasta. A pleasant boutique in one of Aix-en-Provence's most bandwidth streets. Novelty 2012: lavender ice.

Milling baker Pierre Ragot, already renowned for his bakeries in Marseille, is now offering his artisan natural sourdough breads, with their varied and subtle tastes, in Aix-en-Provence. Committed to sustainable agriculture, he grows his own ancient varieties of wheat and bakes his breads daily from fresh flours. Alongside the emblematic Saint-Honoré loaf, you'll find farmhouse breads, molded breads, cereal breads, dried fruit breads and chestnut honey breads. On the sweet side, we concentrate on the essentials: croissant, pain au chocolat, british brioches, an old-fashioned tart with seasonal fruit and a flan without pastry that's not to be missed!

What a temptation to discover the true Liège delicacy: the waffle. Dorian has taken on the recipe of two brothers from Liège who established this concept in Toulouse. The waffle is available in classic, cinnamon or frangipane dough. You can of course add caramel, whipped cream, cherry, strawberry, banana or ice cream, but let yourself be tempted by the special compositions: the ardéchoise with chestnut cream and whipped cream, or the fondante: a real treat. Go ahead, this beautiful Liègeoise has risen to the challenge with flying colors!
