Bakeries & Pastry in Caen

Only Boulangerie pâtisserie l'opéra on Rue d'Auge lists hours on all seven days, 6:30 AM to 8 PM; every other bakery here closes on one or two days a week, and the day varies from shop to shop. Twelve of the eighteen trade on Sundays, and La Fournée du Clos Herbert closes on Saturdays instead, while Aux Délices d’Édimbourg on Rue de la Délivrande opens on weekdays only, with sandwiches and hot dishes at lunch and reviews that mention students. Pastry leads at Le P'tit Chou on Rue Saint-Pierre, known in reviews for its cream puffs, at Madylon, a pâtisserie on Rue Guillaume le Conquérant that also sells chocolates, and at Frédéric Gérard on Rue Caponière, reviewed for mousse cakes, yule logs and king cakes. Talemelerie Guillaume in the Vaugueux quarter opens at 6:30 AM and delivers.
