La Posshu

The cream puffs at La Posshu are filled with cream after you buy them. Visitors remember the crunchy pastry and generous custard filling; one reviewer said there was so much cream that it nearly spilled out. Others noted that the puffs are filled to order so the shells retain their texture. If the signature cream puff is what brings you here, finding one in stock is part of the pleasure.

The éclairs are another favourite, pairing crisp pastry with chocolate and cream. Some reviewers highlight the contrast between the chocolate’s gentle bitterness and the cream’s sweetness. Others have chosen an éclair when the cream puffs had sold out and been pleased with it. The cakes, too, have drawn comments that they are not overly sweet, and visitors mention enjoying gateau chocolat, shortcake and Mont Blanc. For a baked treat, reviewers also recommend the galette bretonne—a choice if you would like to take home something other than a fresh cake.

The shop offers takeaway only. Several visitors report that the cream puffs and éclairs had sold out by early afternoon, so arriving earlier may help if you have a particular item in mind.
