Where to buy bread cakes chocolates ice cream Route de la soie

This elegant café offers a quality service and concocts all day long very beautiful pastries around a menu where a nice choice of teas and coffees, rare in the capital, stands out. Ideal to stop for a gourmet break if you are out and about in the neighborhood, but you can also come there to start the evening. The wine list is indeed well supplied and the place offers a perfect setting for a quiet aperitif. It is also possible to eat there, but the menu was not yet established.

With gluten-free, lactose-free and even vegan recipes, traditional ice creams with monstrously delicious flavors, and constantly evolving quality ingredients, Suso has established itself as one of Venice's finest ice cream makers since 2010. Stracciatella, coffee, pistachio, caramel, hazelnut, chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, lemon... here, the great classics taste exceptional. As the price of success, it's not unusual to have to wait 10-20 minutes to get to the counter. But it's worth it, and gourmets may well come back.

An "old fashioned" bakery as we like it. Without any pejorative sense of the term. First of all, we love the interior with its deceptively rococo decoration, the moldings, the large mirrors that contrast with the bustling atmosphere of the Place Jean-Jaurès, an alternative district if ever there was one. The terrace unfolds in the sun and is an ideal spot for your morning coffee, especially on market days, when you can appreciate the animation under your eyes. On the bakery side, very good homemade buns and pastries with some unexpected specialties like the poppy croissant. A marvel of delicacy in the mouth that we have never found elsewhere in the city. Just for that...

In a district of La Thib' that's home to a few gourmet nuggets, an all-green sign has blossomed with a simple name: Mado. Far from chain bakeries, Mado offers an artisanal, local vision while opening up to other cultures. It's not surprising that Charlotte - from Lyon - and Jacopo - an Italian - met in Argentina. It was a meeting that created sparks and wonders to savor: from organic flours, naturally leavened breads, golden and crispy that keep for a long time, flavored to perfection. And some of the best brioches and panettones we've ever tasted. Finally, the sublime foccacias follow the rhythm of seasonal produce. Mado, we love you big time.

At Populo, the new food court in La Joliette, sweet tooths won't have missed the tempting corner by Martin Flecher, a talented pastry chef if ever there was one. A beautiful display of tarts, strawberry tarts, lemon tarts and choux pastries. Already visually stunning, they're a delight in terms of taste and balance. We tasted the tart lemon tart and the praline flan, both perfect. The flan is also available in plain, praline or chocolate. Enthusiasts will be delighted. Whole cakes can be ordered.

The scent of bread and cakes fills the whole of Via San Barnaba, so let your nose guide you and hurry to the entrance of this famous pastry shop. In the window there is a display of puffy, golden focaccia, a typical Venetian sweet bun that is delicious for dessert or breakfast. But the other pastry shops are not to be outdone, especially in February, when crowds flock to Nono Colussi's to buy chiacchiere and other frittelle, the traditional carnival doughnuts.

Located in the heart of the Saint-Barnabé district, this new patisserie is run by Céline and Christopher, who are as passionate as they are friendly. A duo driven by a passion for doing things well and giving pleasure, you can feel it when you meet them or taste one of the pastries on offer here. Carefully crafted, light, low-sugar cakes without buttercream. Around 8 varieties of pastry to choose from. More on weekends. The choice will be made according to the 100% home-made production. The local clientele is already responding to the light-hearted talent of the house. With the use of fish gelatin, the cakes are suitable for all faiths. A superb address, generous, promising and talented.

Endoume's new ice cream parlour has just arrived, to the delight of young and old alike! First of all, we like the look of the store, with its sleek, modern and inspiring interior. A fine choice of flavors, including buffalo milk ice creams and "full-fruit" sorbets. Milk strawberry, vanilla pecan, caramellia, mint choco or pistachio, sorbets such as green apple, blood orange, mango, white peach or passion fruit. Handcrafted ice creams, sundaes and amazing 6 or 12 scoop boxes to take home. Quality and aesthetics, the kind of address that's been missing in this seaside neighborhood.

At the very bottom of the rue d'Aubagne, in the part of the Noailles district that is the most dynamic in terms of shops, a brand new ice cream shop has opened, bringing a sweet touch that was missing in the surrounding streets. Born from the adventure of three associates, Mahboule plays with the meeting between good ice cream and the Mediterranean. Like the flavors offered, pistacchiosa, caramel salt of Camargue, hazelnut of Piedmont or stracciatella ... The ice creams are from the Tuscan house Casalini. A treat! In addition to ice cream, delicious waffles and pancakes in winter. Nice place, clear and elegant with a grocery corner. It remains to be seen if the clientele of the neighborhood will respond but the project is beautiful.

As we love our craftsmen who perpetuate the tradition of a good bread, the one one would like to have every day on our table, crispy, golden, to the air mie and fragrant. The Lacorne House has not everything on the decoration, but the simplicity of the bakery puts more value in the essence of the shop, the breads. Traditional or special, they are divine and it was particularly appreciated to find at this address a black bread "German" or breads that reminded us of those of Austria. But once you've chosen your bread, it's impossible not to crack for a meringue or a slice of the day's cake. An entrance noticed in our guide.

We love the look of this patisserie with its antique woodwork. It's a real haunt for the locals of San Polo. You'll see them flocking here especially on Sundays after mass, to buy their lunchtime cake. The chocolate and marzipan specialities are excellent. During Carnival, frittelle and chiacchiere fill the windows. A small counter inside allows you to taste them on the spot. You can also try one of Venice's best hot chocolates. An authentic address that is unanimously appreciated.

Open for three generations, this establishment is mythical in the neighbourhood. If you feel like having a sweet treat while wandering around the Nomentana district, try this bar-glacier, which is also famous for its pastries and pastries such as fagottini or the famous maritozzi, cream buns.

Depending on the season, panettoni and other doves are available on the counter.

For more than 20 years, this tiny glacier has been a delight for tourists and Romans in the area with its seasonal ice creams served in generous proportions and made with fresh, high-quality products. Given its rather privileged situation, the line is sometimes long. But if you're not in too much of a hurry, you can enjoy the orange, mint and amaretto flavours, which are a must, just like mango ice cream! The house also offers tasty yoghurts.

Carlo Pistacchi is no slouch. He's a passionate and daring shopkeeper. At his place, there's always a crowd of shoppers, those who discover and above all those who come back! It's worth mentioning that you'll be able to taste original, artisanal, additive-free ice creams here. The flavors concocted here are truly surprising. They range from ginger tiramisu and celery to artichoke, cinnamon, basil and fennel... Don't hesitate to try it, it's divine, so much so that some customers refer to the owner of L'Alaska as a happiness maker.

Favourite pastry of the Genoese bourgeois, Mangini maintains the same refined atmosphere (admire the chandeliers rocks) and same quality in its dishes since 1876. The small daisies filled with jam are exquisite. Without forgetting the main house speciality and made in Liguria: Sacripantina. Created in 1851 by Giovanni Preti, this cake with basic ingredients classic (milk, butter, egg yolks, flour) is nicely enhanced with rum and Marsala, without forgetting the addition of bread from Spain.

This little store, which would almost go unnoticed along Via Luccoli, is a piece of history. A landmark for gourmets, its red neon sign reads Caffetteria, which would look right at home in a Cinecittà film... As you'll have gathered, this is a far cry from supermarkets. The cremeria sells frothy artisanal ice creams, cream-filled wafers, Liège coffees and chocolates, and Genovese specialties such as panera genovese, a kind of iced coffee mousse. Top flavors include sabayon and pistachio.

Combine the pleasure of the taste buds with the pleasure of the eyes as you enjoy your ice cream as the sun sets. For a little variety, there's an infinite choice of fruit or cream sticks.

For a change from traditional ice cream, here's something to refresh your summer snacks. This all-purpose café-bistro prepares rich Sicilian specialties, including granite, a glass filled with crushed ice in a variety of flavors. Almost every ice-cream parlour sells them, but Don Paolo's are the best in the region. Try one with lemon or almonds, and sip from your own little paper cup with your straw, admiring the romantic view from the esplanade. Heated veranda for winter.

In the palace where Lord Byron stayed, this patisserie, named after its Swiss founder, is a landmark. Sweet and savoury mignardises and all kinds of chocolates have been made here with the utmost care since 1910. The store, which has caught up with the trend for a certain clientele eager for a more balanced diet, also offers lower-calorie "sweets", with less sugar and more fresh fruit or nuts (walnuts, hazelnuts, almonds). One of the specialties that will last the trip is Genoese pandolce.

Just a stone's throw from the Carlo Felice Theatre, one of Genoa's finest focaccias, in a central location where good bakeries are rare. We recommend you start with the classic focaccia , just to get an idea. Wide choice of sweet and savoury snacks. Very good pastries. Ideal for a quick breakfast or lunch, sitting around the piazza de Ferrari watching the fountain sparkle, before heading off to via Garibaldi and its many palaces.

Castelletto's most famous ice cream parlour, which has been making the finest semifreddi and panere (creamy ice cream parfaits) for generations. With such a solid reputation, we only regret that he took the opportunity to double his prices... A pity, but the gelato is still exquisite, and if you happen to push into this beautiful residential area, the terrace with its plunging view over the city is well worth a stop. There's also a cafeteria service, serving breakfasts and aperitifs.

In the Esquilino district, this artisan pastry shop with its delightfully old-fashioned façade opened in 1916 and has been run by the same family ever since. The welcome is warm, and the window displays traditional Italian pastries, from crostata to torta della nonna . This is an address cherished by Romans, not least for its maritozzi, which are among the best in the Italian capital. If you're lucky enough to try one, you'll have to get up early, as they sell like hotcakes!

The history of the Jewish community in Venice has also left its mark on the restaurant business and, of course, the bakeries. Unleavened breads and kosher cakes (without milk and butter) are delicacies that Venetians frequently enjoy. The Volpe bakery, open since the 1950s, is said to be among the favorites of the rabbi of Venice. Its dry cookies such as bisse, impade(with almond paste) or zuccherini are exquisite. On the savory side, a few slices of thick pizza, olive focaccia and other unleavened breads are delicious.

You have to look hard to find this tiny pastry shop, whose front is hard to notice, between Piazza Navona and the Pantheon. But it is well worth the detour.

Everything is homemade, of course, and the choice is always varied. This pasticceria offers a cafeteria service to accompany the pastries with a drink.

150 years ago, Andrea Rosa invented one of the first home catering services. He would travel to the city's palaces to prepare prestigious lunches, quickly making a name for himself in the field of fine cuisine and pastry. The store in Calle Fiubera, with its old-fashioned storefront, embodies this remarkable family history. Salva's cakes and pies are renowned for the quality of their dough and cream. All the traditional Venetian cookies are also here.

Marseille has its navettes and canistrellis, Aix has its calissons, and now the city can boast its own madeleine! La Madeleine de Marseille, recently opened as a boutique by two partners, Patrick and Nicolas, is located in the lively Cinq-Avenues district. It's a pretty store with the sweet aroma of freshly baked madeleines. Proust himself would love it, and would never leave the premises. Different flavors: aniseed, almond, pistachio, lemon, plain and a delicious melting sensation on the palate. A real treat. Everything is made on site in the small laboratory, so it's very, very fresh. You'll appreciate the texture of the madeleines, the bits of chocolate, the flaked almonds and the pistachio powder. A gourmet marvel you won't want to miss!

In the very pleasant district of Beaumont, the historical stronghold of the Armenian Marseillaise community, is Sassoun. This shop is the ultimate reference in Armenian fine pastry in the Phocaean city. Loyal customers have been coming for years now to enjoy a warm welcome first of all, and delicious sweets, baklavas, rich in honey and flavours or the Armenian brioche, the Cheurek. Far from stopping at sweets, Sassoun also offers a range of salted snacks, bites and cheese or meat snacks on order if necessary. Their Lahmajoun is a real delight (it is also called Armenian pizza). Run for it!

Martinucci is the king of pasticciotto, an irresistible pastry from Puglia. Good news: the brand has opened a counter in Rome's main railway station! Succumb to Bari's pasticciotto or focaccia before catching your train. Admittedly, it's not a typically Roman sweet, but believe us, you won't regret it! There's also a fine selection of sandwiches.

A cooperative that understands what we want.

A name you'll find in many parts of the city, this long-established patisserie has become very popular, and deservedly so. The quality is always there, so you'll never be disappointed. Cakes and viennoiseries are delicious, but if you want something to take away and keep well, the assortment of sweet and savoury cookies is ideal. The bitter almond ones, among others, are exquisite. Prices are above average, but justified by the quality.

This is a generous 220 or 400 cl ramekin (to share) made of strawberries, biscuits, whipped cream and chocolate coulis (choice of milk, white or dark). Other chocolate desserts are available. Everything is very good, but unfortunately this place is a bit of a victim of its success, it is almost impossible to find room at the weekend and the price-quality ratio is not as interesting as it used to be.

The French have a hard time appreciating Turkish pastries, which are far too creamy and sweet for some. However, some Turkish pastries are an exception to the cliché, such as this beautiful historical pastry shop that has been in existence since 1961. The shop offers a wide selection of desserts, the portions are gourmet and the prices remain reasonable. The staff is smiling and gives you a warm welcome.

A gourmet bakery renowned for serving the best focaccia in Genoa. The area is quiet, not very touristy, close to the Museo Sant'Agostino, and it's mostly local residents who help themselves here for their "daily bread". The shop windows are mouth-watering: the focaccia boards are hot out of the oven, and their fragrance wafts to the end of the street. The house specialty is focaccia alla genovese, topped with pesto, potatoes and green beans. A few stools for tasting on the spot.
