Super belle boulangerie bretonne avec des kouing amann authentiques. Des bons prix, semblable aux boulangeries en France. C'est pas trop sucré, c'est bien beurré, je recommande!

Je n'y était pas allée depuis plus d'un an. Nous avons appelé pour réserver notre Kouing Amann. Le cuisiner à été très sympathique & m'a recommandé de le réchauffer selon les indications marquées sur la boite. J'ai respecté les instructions à la lettre. Quelle déception. La surface était délicieuse mais tout l'intérieur était mou pas feuilleté du tout comme nous en avions l'habitude. Je ne sais pas si c'est pcq que la pâte n'était pas assez cuite ou s'il s'agit d'une nouvelle recette de type brioche qui est franchement inintéressante. Ça ne vaut pas le déplacement depuis Laval. Tellement triste. Il nous reste les 2/3 du gros Kounian Aman on essayera de le cuire plus la prochaine fois. Je m'étais souhaité ça pour mon anniversaire...je ne m'attendais pas à cet état de dégradation de la qualité. Ont ils perdu leur cuisinier ?

Simplesmente incrível a minha experiência nessa confeitaria,o que me deixou encantada fois uma funcionária que sabe falar em português , espanhol, francês, inglês. Como eu falo em português ela falou com a gente em português e eu amei isso!!! E nao posso deixar de elogiar os doces, estavam deliciosos!!! Tivemos só um problema, que a máquina de café nao estava funcionando, mas isso nao importa. O importante é que fomos bem recebidos.
