Patisserie Pelen sur Lons-Le-Saunier

Passing through Lons, we stopped by this shop again, which we already knew. We bought two pastries: the Squirrel and a pistachio-raspberry entremet. Regarding the pistachio-raspberry entremet, I was rather disappointed: the pistachio flavor was barely noticeable and had a somewhat artificial taste. The overall impression was rather heavy. On the other hand, the Squirrel was a pleasant surprise! I had tried it before but hadn't been particularly impressed, as I'm not a coffee fan, but this time, I really enjoyed it. The coffee flavor is very subtle, and the whole thing is truly indulgent with a lovely praline taste. We also bought some chocolates: The cigar: a bit disappointing. It contains praline and caramel, but the overall flavor lacks intensity, and the advertised flavors don't quite come through. The Gianduja bar: good, but in my opinion, it could use a bit more character. The praline bar: same observation, although it remains our go-to. Overall, the price-quality ratio seems quite high to me.

What more can I say? It's excellent! 🤩

Everything we bought was delicious, from the pastries and chocolates to the desserts. The place is beautifully decorated and easily accessible for people with disabilities. I just think it's a shame to charge €0.72 for a bag when you're about to spend a three-figure sum in the store.

Charming place, warm welcome, good ice cream. I recommend it.

Classic pastries are always top-notch.

Excellent pastries, especially the must-try squirrel! It's a shame they no longer offer the chestnut, chocolate, or vanilla tartlets; they were delicious.

Hello everyone! Excellent! Top-notch! Only high (very high)... quality. Thank you. See you soon. Michel

I'm always very happy with my purchases at Pelen chocolate shop, and I find the service has improved considerably recently; it's much more pleasant. However, I wanted to express my disappointment at the discontinuation of the raspberry chocolate, which was a must-have for us. You were the only ones to offer a cake like that... it's a shame!
