The best bakeries Caen

A modern, airy bakery: the store really makes you want to come in, and you are always well received, especially by the emblematic Odile. You especially want to taste everything. The bread, the pastries, the pastries, the salads, the pies, the sandwiches, the nibbles, the little dishes in jars (hum, the duck parmentier !)... Here, the hardest thing is to choose. The little extra, Marcel is open on Sundays. Thanks to its success, a second shop has opened on the Place Fontette, opposite the old court.

At the Petit Futé, we like this bakery: artisanal production, organic bread with natural leaven, Olivier Gestin knows how to delight our taste buds with tasty recipes. From the traditional to the corn baguette and the country loaf, it's not easy to decide. Come in and you'll surely succumb! Even for a lunch, the choice will be difficult! And we are delighted to see it open on Saturday mornings, perfect for the little munchies when you get out of the pool!

Good bakeries are always a discovery, and with this one, we're on the verge of excellence! Freshly baked bread that smells delicious (the bûcheron and the nordique are to die for!), viennoiseries, pure butter brioches, but also a choice of savoury snacks for lunch breaks and, icing on the cake (in a bakery, that's not bad, by the way), oriental pastries, each more tempting than the last. All served with a smile, a kind word and sometimes, often even, a complimentary chouquette for the road. We want more!

A very good address held by two young passionate friends, Louis and Vincent put their heart into it with organic ingredients and a lot of brio! An oven, a kneading trough, leavening, a turn of hand and here is a nice range of special breads (Nordique, Richemond, Graines de copains) and pastries that will delight your taste buds! As for pastries, we focus on sobriety with classics (éclairs, seasonal tarts...). And we don't forget the small hungers with sandwiches and coffee!

What a stack! Vivien Le Sénéchal took over this bakery two years ago and remodeled it in his own image, whether it be the decor or the products and their quality. Here everything is fresh and homemade, from the mayo to the chicken cooked on the spot to the salted butter caramel. We recommend the zebra bread (with coal and corn) as beautiful as good or the macaroons. As for the croissants, they are to die for! Listening to his customers, he adapts to their requests to concoct new recipes like this cookie without hazelnuts or almonds. At the top!

A bakery that stays busy from morning till night - doesn't that smell good? Both literally and figuratively! It's one of the best in Caen! Everything is delicious, from the Tradition to the honey sourdough baguette and the gluten-free recipe. There's also a wide choice of sandwiches, grignettes (sweet or savoury mini-ficelles), pizzas, quiches... On the sweet side, we fall for their pink praline brioche every time! And the viennoiseries, tarts, etc., are a real "killer". In short, it's hard to leave with only your baguette under your arm!

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?

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.

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.
