One of our favorite chocolate shops in Europe, we come here every time we are in the Loire Valley…read more If you look at the pictures, they offer allot more than chocolates! We enjoyed the ice cream deserts with melted chocolate and cappuccinos during this visit. We also purchased candy to go and enjoyed it in the valley and on our trip back to Paris. The team that works here is very helpful and friendly and if you have the time, you can visit the local surroundings including the chateau across the street!

We went to the one in Amboise, conveniently located right next to the outer wall of the Amboise of Chateau, nestled among other several cafes and restaurants. We got four different flavors and loved all those flavors. Highly recommend running into Amorino with no second thought when you see one in France.

Miss Goumard is a very cute tea shop in Blois, conveniently located in the city center. It offers a…read morewide range of teas (40+!) and coffees (not just espressos, they also have filtered coffee and aeropress! Yay!), served in very instagrammable mugs. They also have homemade pastries - we had the chocolate fondant and it was awesome. Prices are OK - €3.50 for a tea, €3 for aeropress, €4-5 for a pastry. The only downside is that the place doesn't seem to cope with all the attention it's creating - it was full when we went, they didn't have any clean mugs left, and they had sold out all their pastries except 2 options by 5pm on a Saturday afternoon, so intended to close early. And the poor waitresses seemed way overworked. I'm sure they'll learn to manage though - it's a great little café, hence I doubt the crowd will fade away!

We unfortunately don't speak French, so order was a bit tough - I was better off pointing at the items. But a very kind lady behind us could understand better what I was trying to order when attempting to pronounce the items compared to the cashier/baker. Anyway! This place is definitely worth a try if you're in the area; some of the better pastries I had while staying in France. I only wish the items were warm(er) upon ordering.

Anyone who comes to Blois should visit this boulangerie/patisserie. Located just across the street…read morefrom the train station, we missed it on our way into town since we arrived after closing. Then, spending most of our time in the historic district, we didn't realize what we had passed until a couple days later when we caught a train to nearby Ambois. We sheepishly tucked in for a bite once we saw how delightful all the baked goods looked (we had JUST finished breakfast and certainly didn't need more...). Absolutely exquisite! The coffee - and especially the hot chocolate - are also wonderful. We're back today and wish we had know of this place earlier; definitely the best breakfast spot in town. Well worth the short walk up from the historic district!

I agree with Bertrand and his review…read more Staff are friendly, place looks good and is well situated. The sweet pastries are good and ' correct'. The two staples the baguette and croissants look good but neither is crispy. Loss of a str for each. Few alternatives in this small cute town. Maybe go there but just don't order a baguette or croissant if you like it crusty.
