The best pastry shops Brest

Octopus is an exclusively plant-based patisserie, a first in Brest, and even in Brittany! The idea behind this project was Galaad's desire to rethink traditional pastry recipes to create cakes that could be enjoyed by everyone, including vegetarians, vegans and allergy sufferers. As a result, you'll find no milk, eggs, butter or animal gelatin in the pastry chef's entremets, made from natural and organic products, with no additives. Lemon and chocolate tarts rub shoulders with refined fruit creations, evolving with the seasons, as well as pumpkin brioche, buckwheat muffin and hazelnut croquant, for a gourmet moment.

In this soberly elegant patisserie, located not far from Rue de Siam, you'll find original creations that will make your mouth water! On the sweet side, you'll enjoy their famous choux gourmands, as well as refined revisited pastries, made to the rhythm of the seasons. You'll also fall in love with the unusual viennoiseries, such as the salted butter caramel puff pastry. You'll be able to buy good bread, whether dried fruit, gluten-free or plain, prepared with professionalism and certified Label Rouge. A range of savoury snacks is also available to eat in or take away. For the pleasure of your eyes and palate!

A true Brest institution, this top-of-the-range patisserie, run by Philippe Lallemand and his wife, has been offering a variety of entremets, petits câteaux, tarts and macaroons for three generations. You can opt for a family version, for 4, 6 or 8 people, to order. For special occasions, petits fours and pièces montées are also available. Here's a glimpse of our suggestively-named delicacies: "Royal Chocolat", the house's signature dessert (flaky praline, almond cookie, light chocolate mousse), or "L'Alliance" (calisson cookie, chocolate ganache, duo of mandarin and praline mousses). Craftsmanship and family tradition since 1923!

You'll find this cookie factory in Brest at one of its three locations: rue de Lyon in the city center, at the commercial port or in Guipavas. Terre d'embruns offers delicious "baked today" cookies and sweets: kouign-amann, tartelettes, sacristains and palets bretons, all made with natural, local, quality products, ideal for putting together your gourmet basket. Each boutique also has its own tea room, where you can sit down for lunch or a snack, or simply enjoy a cup of coffee.

A pink façade, an American diner atmosphere and doughnuts as beautiful as they are delicious... no, this isn't Greta Gerwig's Barbie movie, it's Grandpa Donuts! To satisfy both sweet and savory palates, Morgan offers tasty and highly original recipes. For lunch, treat yourself to a tomato mozza or an egg & bacon donut, and for a snack, why not try a chocolate or caramel donut, or more original flavors like pecan praline?
Here, donuts are entirely homemade: the dough is as melt-in-the-mouth as a brioche and as delicious as a doughnut... all you have to do is give in to temptation!

Tasty is a patisserie that lives up to its name: you'll find sweet creations as tasty as each other! Fanny and Etienne welcome you to their small boutique, with its sober, elegant decor that enhances the pastries on offer. On their menu, which varies according to season and inspiration, great classics such as lemon meringue, black forest and chocolate tarts rub shoulders with original creations. As tasty as they are beautiful, the cakes are made with fresh, local produce. And if you're feeling peckish, our praline, caramel and brownie cookies will melt your palate!

Hoomiz is the story of two friends who have become cookie queens! We all have our little Proust's madeleine, but who doesn't love cookies?

After an initial adventure selling their products online and in markets, you can now find them directly in their boutique at the foot of Jaurès, a true gourmet paradise! It's the perfect place to try out all the flavors on offer... And just as well, the variations are as numerous as they are delicious. Even if it's not snack time, there's no time like the present for a treat!
