At Home With Shay

Chambelland (Paris, France)

Chambelland is an entirely gluten free bakery & cafe! And they are very good at what they create.  They offer a variety of focaccia shaped breads to take away & some are made into sandwiches (which were quite yummy). I was eyeing a chocolate bread that sold out before we could get a piece… totally bummed! I imagine it was very good. I literally imagined biting into the rustic bread with chunks of dark chocolate melting in my mouth.  Oh my, it looked delicious… take a look for yourself.  It is the bread in the bottom right of my picture above… memories…

Chambelland also makes a type of bread with tomato sauce and greek olives that was toasted similar to a cheeseless pizza (this was our favorite). They also make a variety of scrumptious pastries, cakes and cookies. The chocolate chip cookies & the lemon tarte with meringue were our favorites.

We bought several loaves of bread to make sandwiches for the next day.  One was a fig and nut bread that was big on flavor, but it dried out very quickly, so I wouldn’t recommend doing what we did. The bread is too expensive not to truly enjoy it at its best.  We still tore pieces off and ate it with pieces of cheese.  I wouldn’t let it go to waste!

Chambelland has two entirely gluten free bakery locations- one in Paris and the other in Brussels.  We were only fortunate enough to try the one in Paris.  They were very helpful with answering questions even though they were very busy at the time.
