La Chouquette in Manchester

Didsbury y Poynton Mejor boulangerie, pastelería, viennoiserie en el Gran Manchester y mejor que muchos en Francia. Los panes y productos de panadería son excelentes y vale la pena un viaje para disfrutar de cualquier cosa que te apetezca. Didsbury no tiene asientos, Poynton tiene algunos bancos de picnic. El café del outlet Poynton es bueno. Personal muy interesante que puede decirte mucho sobre los productos y cómo se producen. Debo intentarlo.

Encontré esta joyita mientras visitaba Didsbury. Vi la cola afuera y me pregunté qué estaba pasando así que fui a echar un vistazo. La pintoresca pequeña panadería y oh my los productos increíbles, mimado para la elección. Habría comprado 2 de todo y luego volver por más. Gran pequeño hallazgo. Lástima que no vivimos más cerca.

Había estado planeando ir aquí por algún tiempo, tratando de cronometrarlo con un largo paseo, para justificar tratarme a mí mismo. A la llegada había unas cuantas personas que estaban moliendo afuera, no estaban en una cola, algunos estaban comiendo, otros no. Cuando me acerqué, miré por la ventana y vi unas cuantas tortas, el mango, la torta de maracuyá me llamó la atención, pero pensé en ver qué más había disponible dentro. El espacio de la tienda es extremadamente pequeño, había un par de personas dentro y el espacio era demasiado estrecho. No había pasteles adicionales en el interior, había una pequeña selección de quiches, algunos rollos y algunos croissants, esparcidos por ahí, sin una manera real de tener una visión adecuada de lo que está disponible. La razón por la que había gente afuera que descubrí es para gente que pidió bebidas, me pregunto qué pasará cuando llueva. De todos modos le dije a la persona que me servía, no estaba completamente seguro de lo que quería, simplemente se encogió de hombros. ¿Ni siquiera me preguntó si quería un recibo, tal vez sólo usd a la gente que no quiere uno? No sentía su energía. De todos modos decidí comprar el pastel de mango y maracuyá, solo para descubrirlo, a pocos kilómetros de distancia cuando decidí sentarme y comerlo era 85% crema o ratón, con alrededor de 10% esponja esto no es lo que id' llaman un pastel en absoluto y ciertamente no se anunciaba como eso. Estaba fumando. Coste £ 3. 40, que es lo que esperaría pagar También me dieron el quiche de salmón, que muy pequeño por el precio, venía con un anillo para mantenerlo en su lugar pero nada en la parte inferior, así que cuando lo saqué de la bolsa y lo sostuve se cayó, por suerte me senté o se hubiera caído al suelo. Honestamente debo admitir que la quiche estaba absolutamente deliciosa. Coste £ 4. 30 No tenían rollitos veganos, así que no puedo comentar sobre ellos y también me dieron un pastel vegano de arándanos y limón para otra persona y dijeron que era delicioso, húmedo y denso. 00 En general el precio total no fue tan malo, pero lo que la quiche podría haber sido más grande y debe quedar claro que el pastel de mango y maracuyá está lleno de mousse o crema. La tienda es simplemente demasiado pequeña. Me sentí abrumado en esta mi primera visita a La Chouquette y no tendré ninguna prisa por regresar. Mi lugar normal para dulces y pasteles es el octavo día

La Chouquette was my first stop on a self-organised food tour of Didsbury! The Almond Croissant came recommended, and it was a great choice: big, covered in almond flakes and a moist filling. We also shared a madeleine and two financiers: the Raspberry & Coconut one had to be favourite.

Fantastic bakery. Beautiful patisserie and pastries, gorgeous soft and crusty sourdoughs. Excellent coffee. Worth the queues.

Visited the newer Poynton branch. Best croissant I’ve ever had. Sandwiches were brilliant too. Coffee needs to be a little stronger but worth the queue.

The pastries here are the best I’ve found outside of France. I’ve been to most European countries and nothing compares. Coffee is very nice and the staff are wonderful. I love my weekly friday morning visi.

Almond Croissant 😍 Sourdough 😍 Quiche 😍 The coffee 😍 Any and everything is truly scrumptious 👌 HUGE recommend ❤️ this fabulous bakers truly artisan

Amazing pastries! The most beautiful pastries and cakes ever! Will definitely be back to try their bread! Also service was excellent.

Best flat white I have ever had Cardamom buns are a phenomenon. La Chouquette never disappoints you, well worth queuing up for.

10/10 best bakery in Manchester area. I recommend to everyone who comes to manchester to make the trip to didsbury for these pastries and take all my family/friends when they visit. Almond pain au chocolate is my absolute fave but everything from here is exceptional.

I've been forced to write this review as it is an abomination that this place only has 4 stars??? These are the single best croissants you will get outside of France. The staff are lovely and the service is always great but even if it wasn't... I would still go. The financiers are incredible. The almond croissant is like crack. The pain au chocolat.. divine. These people know their audience and I am proudly it.

This was our first visit to La Chouquette. We placed our order but we were disappointed to find that the female member of staff who was serving us was both surly & curt! She even placed the change on the counter rather than passing it to us!! We will not return……

Unbelievable pastries, bread and cakes. The pastries are the best I’ve had outside of France. The staff are wonderful and really care about their produce. The owner is super passionate and friendly which really reflects in how the place is run. They can improve the coffee.

Best in Didsbury and an incredible patisserie!! Very special birthday cake for my mum - like no desert I’ve ever had before

Had to queue for a bit but once I tried their beef sausage roll and almond croissant I was blown away. Not a pastry person myself but trying theirs made me realise that what I was eating before was junk. This is the real deal - and I’ve been to France. 5*

Best pastries in Manchester! Love their pain au chocs with a coffee, consistently perfect and such a good choice of pastries/sweet treats.

Everything here is fantastic. Bread is outstanding as are all the cakes (though u pay for it). Best bakery.

Amazing customer service! Thought I would treat the family to some nice sweet treats at the weekend. Ordered and then realised I had forgotten my purse and phone had died so couldn’t pay…no problem! Took my treats, gave my email and paid when I got home! Such amazing trust of the local community that I will not only be returning more (than I usually do which is monthly /6weeks) I’ve left my first ever trip advisor review. Also had a wonderful chocolate gateaux for a special occasion. La Choquette, you thoroughly deserve all your awards and more. You epitomised the Didsbury village spirit and community. Thank you!

Ordered my mum’s birthday cake with only 2 days notice right near Xmas when it was really busy. Such obliging service and the cake was outstanding. My mum loved it!

I have quite a few different pastries from here, all have been well worth the money. I got my friend the lemon meringue tart for her birthday and she said it was the best dessert she’s ever had. Would definitely recommend here to others.

Without doubt the best croissants available in Manchester. The pain au chocolat are also deliciosus, and if you need something for lunch try the sausage rolls - you'll never go back to having regular ones.

Went on two consecutive days and on the first was told that almost all their pastry options were vegan. However, on returning the next day I was then told that none of them were and that I must have misunderstood. Disappointed and didn't appreciate the...

You pay for what you get. I’ve just had the best croissant I’ve ever had. Cant wait for the cinnamon buns and bake well tarts

I thoroughly enjoyed brioche loaf every time I visited the bakery until today - particularly early in the morning - 'warm and fresh'. It is more expensive than other places, but it is worth the money. But not today - the loaf I bought this...

Love this place. Both croissant and bread are excellent. They taste how they are supposed to rather than a supermarket taste. The patisserie are also excellent. The thing I love about these is that they aren’t overly sweet and in my opinion that means they...

I visited the bakery today and I can assure you that this place is miles away from French patesserie. The Paris Brest tasted like cupboard and massive queue for it is worth. Stay away and save your money . Tres mauvaise experience.

Overpriced items, crossaints lovely, bread lovely Shop needs smartening / cleaning up outside . If you are charging these prices it’s got to be spot on

Heard great things about this place in Didsbury, so we thought we’d give it a go. My wife and I are particularly keen on almond croissants. So we bought one each , cost £5. £2.50 maybe seems quite steep but I gotta tell you. It’s...

Probably the best Almond croissant I've had yet. They also do great coffee, breads, pastries and desserts. The is always a queue when I've been during 12-2pm weekday Inc Sundays but they are efficient and queue moves quickly. Just proof that they produce lovely goods....

This new French style bakery at the end of the village is really nice place. Fresh breads and cakes at reasonable prices. I bought a baton and a delicious chocolate and beetroot cake. The q outside tells you all you need to know
