| - This place is legit, and high-end.
I've had a few of their pastries, but I come regularly for a simple canele. These are a traditional and somewhat curious French sweet snack. It's like an almost overdone, crunchy, caramelized doughy egg custard in a small bite sized form. They're super good in general and always excellent here.
In addition, their croissants, both the regular and chocolate versions, are 100% legit.
The last time I had a chocolate croissant this good was, in fact, in France, and while there are a few other French bakeries in Pittsburgh, neither of their chocolate croissants come close. Well, one does, and his shop deserves the respect it's earned over many decades. The other place, however, should stop selling them immediately, since it's ruined their credibility in my mind.
Not so at Gaby et Jules! The only problem here is how to not stop in every day!
