L'Eléphant Rose à Pois Blancs
25 Rue André PoggioliThe best home made ice creams in town!
Another excellent boulangerie around, bread and cakes and croissants and sandwiches, all is very good. Really don't bother going to any other boulangeries (don't confuse with Le Fournil de la Plaine)
Le Fournil du Mont

You can't do better than this in terms of patisseries. The cakes are pure wonders, for less than 4€. You need to go. Sandwiches and salads too.
