Where to buy bread cakes chocolates ice cream Caen

It's really great to have a bakery open 24 hours a day! At La Huche caennaise, you can pick up your bread at 3am if you like! Just a stone's throw from the port, you won't want to miss this electric blue storefront. Is it a case of crazy opening hours, three shifts or time running out? This is the address to remember, offering fresh bread and other delicacies to everyone, from Thursday morning to Sunday, whatever the time of day. What's more, the products are very good. How's that for a good plan?

51 years old, and it's still with the same greed that we stop in at La Brioche chaude! Taken over at the end of 2021 by Anne Raffin, the store has had a major facelift, but has retained the recipes that made it such a success. The queen of the store, the brioche in all its forms (brioche bread for savoury dishes), is as soft as it gets and well worth the detour. And that's not counting the mouth-watering breakfast menu. New since March 2024, the restaurant is a member of the artisan bakery association, so you're welcome to try its delicious breads! Bonus: it's open on Mondays!

Quentin Rambaud, a young 24 year old pastry chef, has opened this tempting store. Here, it's a return to simplicity, no more fuss and too many ingredients. No more than three flavors in his cakes and it's perfect. We like the Paris-Caen, which made the success of the address, a gourmet alliance between the macaroon and the famous Paris-Brest. The Pavlova and the Madagascar vanilla flan are sweets to be tested urgently! We also like the fast execution of orders and the idea that in the nice days the ice creams will be part of the party!

In eastern Caen, in the "leavening sun", Pain Vivant is making its mark on the bread-making landscape. Here, Diego passionately blends boldness and tradition. Boldness, in his determination to work almost exclusively with short-distance suppliers, and in his choice of long fermentation. Tradition, for his wood-fired oven and his own mill, but also for the use of home-made natural sourdough. Our breads, brioches and viennoiseries have a taste for authenticity. Don't miss the vanilla flan or the New York rolls!

Stepping through the door of this family-run bakery for the first time is almost a guarantee of a return visit, and not just for the warm, friendly welcome. Indeed, the breads, pastries and viennoiseries are well worth a trip away from the town center. In the bakery, artisanal production is not an empty word. No frozen foods here! If we had to choose just a few of their little marvels, we'd have to mention their lemon meringue pie, their melt-in-the-mouth cookies or their large caponière.

Opened on the initiative of the APAEI (Association des Parents et Amis de Personnes Handicapées Mentales) in Caen, the store is run by disabled workers and sells products made in ESATs and CATs. Fine chocolates, cookies, coffees, jams, honey, caramels, fruit juices, beers, wines and even organic soaps and cosmetics share the space. You'll also find a range of baskets to choose from. This is a place where beautiful things happen, where you learn a lesson in life: enjoy yourself while opening your mind to others.

What a reputation and what quality! We're crazy about this great Normandy house, founded by a family of chocolate makers from Granville in 1946. 70 years later, they had the bright idea of opening another store in Caen! Three generations of craftsmanship and a genuine passion for chocolate from father to son. Cédric has taken up the torch and is bringing a fresh approach with original, innovative recipes. Ganaches, pralines and specialties such as Rocs de Granville and Normandises are yours for the taking. Let yourself be tempted!

Here is a great original concept! Camille, a young dynamic woman with a passion for history, wants to make you discover historical pastries with a staging and decorations that make you travel in time. From the ^XIVth to the ^XIXth century, the range is wide and allows all the fantasies, you will discover forgotten recipes (or not!) which were at the time the chic of the chic. We explain to you why the ingredients appear and disappear, the spices are home-made and the lady has a garden of medieval plants! Yum!

There are places that go unnoticed, where you don't even push open the door! This bakery is a perfect example. Here, Charlotte and Pierrick give pride of place to the art of the homemade sandwich. Their experience in fine establishments enables them to offer a varied selection of sandwiches. Even traditional dishes have their own sandwich version. The bakery also offers divine viennoiseries, including the squirrel's nest, and organic breads with original flavors.
