Pâtisserie Boulesteix

Excellent Black Forest cake ordered for a birthday.

I first called to see if this pastry shop and chocolate shop offered candied chestnuts. The phone reception was warm, and the person offered to keep my order (without prior payment) since there was only one box left. The pastry shop and chocolate shop is easy to find, and parking is easy. The welcome is friendly, and the two staff members are smiling and kind. There's a wide selection of cakes and chocolates; everything looks delicious, no doubt about it :). My order was ready, no waiting, and the young woman presented me with the open box and closed it in front of me. People who have a sense of well-made products and customer service. I highly recommend ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐🏆

Ordered two large cakes for our daughter's birthday. Everything was perfectly executed. Excellent. Thank you very much. Special thanks to Mr. BOULESTEIX.

These are the best pains au chocolat I've ever eaten. The pastries are also excellent and the prices very reasonable. I go there whenever I can.

Awesome welcome Excellent cakes, with a special mention for the éclairs... Fabulous All at an affordable price.

I'm updating my review posted 4 months ago. You can find my original review posted in June below: Since my last review in June, the quality of the products offered has returned to normal, with excellent, fresh, and well-prepared products. You have to be able to note when things aren't going well (probably due to the enormous amount of work required to open a second store), but you also have to be able to note when things change for the better, and that's the case today since my last review. Glad to be back with the quality and flair of Mr & Mrs Boulesteix :-). It's an immeasurable pleasure to be able to enjoy their products. Original review posted in June 2023: Unfortunately, I completely agree with a previous review. The quality of this incredible pastry shop has plummeted since the opening of the second outlet in Saint Junien in September 2022. For me, for many years, it was the best pastry shop in the greater Limoges area, with breathtaking desserts (fresh, delicious, perfectly balanced sugar, exceptional choux pastry). Since the opening of the second outlet (bakery and pastry shop) in Saint Junien, it's clear that the pastries have declined in quality and taste: - The shortcrust pastry for the strawberry tart, which was previously magical, has become elastic, far too sweet, and unworthy of the great pastry chef we once knew. - The pastry cream has become unremarkable and no longer meets the pastry quality that existed previously. I used to be able to recognize Mr. Boulesteix's pastries with my eyes closed. Unfortunately, this is no longer the case today, and I'm very disappointed. Unable to know whether this decline in quality is due to the fact that the cakes are no longer made on-site (and therefore delivered every morning from St Junien) or to the fact that the quantity needed to supply two outlets is too large to maintain the quality previously known, I must admit that my culinary experiences before and after leaving the Aixe lab are not similar. As things stand, and without a return to the quality known before the opening of the St Junien outlet, I'm really not sure I'll return, unfortunately. I do, however, acknowledge through this review the colossal amount of work required to manage two establishments and the challenge of opening a second outlet after opening the bakery/pastry shop in St Junien. This review in no way calls into question the enormous amount of work required by a bakery/pastry shop. I only note a change and a decline in the quality of the products offered.

The only one in my repertoire to demonstrate real authenticity; Everything sold in this Pastry Shop - Chocolate Shop is a real treat for the taste buds!

You won't necessarily find all the classic pastries you'd find in a "classic" pastry shop, such as fruit tarts and millefeuilles. You'll find some very beautiful and delicious cakes. A true delight for the taste buds.

Very good pastries. The cakes, chocolates, and madeleines are all homemade, and you can taste it. The service is fast, efficient, and friendly.

I ordered a millefeuille for a birthday and everyone loved it, it was already very beautiful but also really very good, custard a real delight 🤩 very kind person so as not to spoil anything I would come back! I recommend 👍

Excellent product quality and a very wide selection of both pastries and chocolates. Excellent value for money considering the quality. For me, this is one of the best pastries.

Hello, an excellent pastry, beautiful, good, refined, welcome, I am a pastry chef myself, proud to see artisans who do excellent work, make you happy, go and taste it
