Theo Chereau Patisserie sur La Rochelle

It just goes to show, everyone has different tastes: My husband and I sampled five pastries from Mr. Chereau this past Sunday, the 8th. And frankly, we weren't impressed. Only one really appealed to us: the iceberg. Otherwise, everything was too sweet, too many different flavors, just too much of everything. We're used to fine dining, but we were disappointed. I don't doubt his skill at all, but for us, it wasn't to our liking. However, the trompe-l'oeil effects were well done; there's no denying that.

While in La Rochelle, we tried Theo Chereau's pastries and it was a truly wonderful discovery! There were four of us, and we sat in the tea room. We received a very warm welcome, and the service from the sales team was impeccable and professional. We sampled five pastries and a flaky brioche. The presentation was flawless, with meticulous attention to detail, excellent balance of sweetness, and pronounced flavors. In short, top-notch! Congratulations to your entire team!

Your pastries are absolutely perfect!! The yuzu!! What an explosion of flavor, what artistry! It's fresh, it's tangy without being overly so, the perfect balance to enhance the aromas of bergamot and yuzu. It's crisp yet melts in your mouth, delicate!! But then there's the exceptional "signature" pastry: the Almond Hazelnut Praline, the gianduja, the light Madagascar vanilla cream—it's not too sweet and so beautifully executed!!! It's indulgent without being cloying!! A true mastery of texture and flavor!!! Bravo, and bravo for the warm welcome as well!! And since that review, three years ago, we've returned several times, and it's always delicious and exceptionally well done!!! Thank you

More than just pastries, they're masterpieces. Théo Chereau is clearly the best pastry shop in Charente-Maritime. Some might say the prices are high. They're not when the cakes are so exceptionally delicious. The visual appeal, the flavors, and the carefully chosen textures blend so seamlessly that you'll want to come back for more. Special mention goes to the Viennese hot chocolate, as well as the "galet" (pebble), the coconut, and the sea urchin. Not to mention the other pastries, which are also amazing. Bravo to the whole team! The service is equally impressive.

This pastry shop is overflowing with little gems! The staff is always attentive and offers great advice; we'll be back! ✨

A truly wonderful discovery! The trompe-l'œil creations are absolutely magnificent, veritable works of art that almost make you want to leave them untouched. And yet, from the very first bite, you realize that the taste lives up to the visual appeal: delicious, expertly crafted, and above all, varied flavors. The pastry service is also delightful, with a professional and welcoming team. This is a place where expertise and aesthetics are clearly on full display.

An unparalleled pastry chef in La Rochelle. But one whose customer service is let down. We always return with pleasure to enjoy their exceptional pastries. However, the service is subpar, and in case of any problems, don't expect professionalism from them, as we experienced with an order error (a partially completed order with no compensation or appropriate solution offered).

Absolutely delicious, everything was divine. Well done for this moment of culinary bliss! 🤪👍

An exceptional pastry shop with highly original creations that are as beautiful as they are delicious. The Viennese chocolate, the Mont Blanc, the cocoa pod, and the coffee bean blew us away. Visually, the yuzu and the pavlova are incredible. The shop is magnificent, and the welcome was very warm.

Wonderful experience at this pastry / cake place. Just the look of the products are enough to make your heart meld but the true treasure is the taste, immaculate, flavourful, and all around perfect, what a delightful experience and what a wonderful time there. It's in my opinion the best cake in the world and of one the very best pastry shops, of course France's level is so high that you will always meet another "best cake", but this is truly my favorite.
