Canelés are baked custard pastries with a soft centre and a thick, dark caramelised crust, made with rum and vanilla. But the sweet treat that really takes the cake-pun intended-is their canelé. We’re talking cookies, crullers, slices, tarts, and cheesecakes, available to pre-order for pick up or snap up at their weekly market days on Fridays and Saturdays. Sure, you can hit up Bella & Tortie for some very slay looking cakes, but you can also buy so much more than that. Take a scroll through their Facebook page and you'll be making up excuses to eat cake, though honestly, just make it to Friday sounds like excuse enough for one of these bad boys to us.
