Bakeries & cafés in Lyon

Bakeries make up 16 of the 19 Lyon entries, spread over the Presqu'île, the Croix-Rousse, Vieux Lyon and the 3rd, 6th and 7th arrondissements rather than grouped in one quarter. Flan is a recurring thread: Au pain des traboules on Rue Lanterne sells it in flavours such as vanilla, pistachio, hazelnut and speculoos, alongside sourdough and bugnes, and reviews of Boulangerie les Artistes on Rue du Mail pair flan with brioche and pralines. Three bakeries open every day from 6 or 6:30 AM until 8 PM, among them L'Atelier on Cours Albert Thomas and Millet Part-Dieu on Cours Lafayette, known in reviews for trompe-l'œil pastries. The cafés are few: Puzzle Cafe on Rue des Estrées, near the cathedral in Vieux Lyon, serves flat whites, chai lattes and cheesecake from Wednesday to Saturday, and L'Antisèche on Rue Salomon Reinach is an evening bar-restaurant, open until 1 AM, with beer, burgers and live music.
