La Boule Carree Elephant sur Nantes

It caters to a busy weekday clientele, not the local neighborhood.

Very friendly and efficient. The bread is very good, and the croissants are too.

We spent a week in Nantes for a university project. We're Italian students, and since our dorm room is close to this bakery, they always came here for breakfast. I tried croissants, almond croissants, and madeleines. Everything was delicious; I think the best was the fantastic croissant. I tried both the ristretto and the regular espresso, but I think the ristretto was too ristretto. However, everything was very good, and I was especially curious about the savory food, which looked delicious, especially the baking and bread. It's nice that the baker cooks and bakes in full view. Beautiful and delicious. Keep up the good work!!!!

Come for the food! As others have mentioned, coffee isn’t their strong point. However they have great pastries and sandwiches, both for dine in and take away. The service is friendly and fast. Nice spot to hang out for a bit and right near the Machines. Came 2x during my weekend in Nantes.

The choices of sandwiches and pastries was large, something for everyone.
