looking for canele or canelle in LA

[fdb]

I can't seem to find any recent discussion on this but anyone knows where to buy freshly baked canele (or canelle), a small French pastry with a soft and tender custard center and a dark, thick caramelized crust? I've seen them at Surfas but they are frozen.

The last time I checked, they were offered at LAMill.

Bruno at Le Saint Amour is making them on the weekends.

Maison Giraud in the Palisades have them. Same pastry chef as Anisette so they're going to be great.

Surfa's cafe has them freshly baked. They never make it home.

Hotcakes Bakes in Culver City has them...In regular and mini sizes. The owner (who was featured on Food Network a couple times) is French and she seems to be quite proud of them!

Rockenwagners bakery. And they're great.

[foodiemahoodie]

Skip that. They are not at Rockenwagners. I had a memory of having them there, but in fact it was someplace else. Now I'm totally jonesing for them....

I know they had them at Frances Bakery downtown last time I was there. Haven't tried them though, so can't vouch for how good they are.

I've had them at Euro Pane in Pasadena. Delicious. Not sure if they have them regularly tho.

[mrshankly]

Euro Pane's are delicious... only available Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays... get there before noon or they're gone.

Canele in Atwater on Glendale Blvd also serves them.

And amazingly it looks like they don't offer their namesake dessert.

[perk]

I don't know if they still do this....but they used to hand them out as a complimentary parting gift.
Don't know if you could ask them to make some.

[Tom P]

They do indeed hand caneles out to you as you leave the restaurant. They are wonderful. (And the restaurant is terrific.)

I've seen it at Noir Food and Wine in Pasadena.
