Maison Cangina — Restaurant in Aix-en-Provence

Disgraceful owner, bad quality and expensive cake.

I ordered a birthday cake Framboise Royal for my child for 10 people. I kindly asked for a decoration, a little figure of princess. As all previous times I was sure that I will be charged per portion per person 3,90 Euros so total 39 Euros. While placing an order I was NOT informed that I will have to pay extra for a decoration. My husband went to pick up a cake. He was charged only 15 Euros. As we ordered couple of times cakes there and sometimes we pay some part in advance - he assumed that this is what has happened that I paid something in advance. Few days later I received a call from an employee of the patisserie to align a bill. Of course I apologised for misunderstanding and I confirmed that certainly we will pay back. But instead of the reminder of 24 E she asked me for 39 Euros claiming that we must pay for a decoration.I didn't agree because no one warned me while I was ordering this cake. My husband went there yesterday to pay a difference of 24 E. The owner insisted that he must pay extra for decoration. She offended him in all possible ways, shouting that he is dishonest. But it was her, who lied in a cheeky way that we were aware about extra charge and that we paid this in previous years which is totally not true. When he told her that it is not fair because she should tell us in advance and that 54 Euros she demanded for a child cake is a lot - she abused him and accused him of being poor!! Moreover she was threatening him with the Police and was enough lucky to spot them just outside on the street. Of course Police arrived as she was hysterically shouting from a shop. My husband knowing French Police preferred to give her these extra money rather to spend three hours with Police explaining an issue. I know people would not be interested in this private matter as what is the most important in review of the place is quality of the products. Franky speaking a cake which we ordered was not good as it was too sweet, it was covered with a layer of thick sugar. However a decoration was very impressive - a head of Elsa from Frozen. But unfortunately the cake was not consumed by over 20 guests this must mean - it wasn't good! (I was afraid that cake for 10 wouldn't be enough for 20!) It seems that a quality of cakes drastically came down, they face some problems because the way the owner was acting deprived of good manners and desperately fighting for 15 Euros - doesn't seem good. Not very clever. She got her money but she lost a regular client or rather few of them because as I said we had leftover of this cake in our fridge after...

Une expérience gustative exceptionnelle à la Maison Cangina !

Si vous recherchez la quintessence de la galette des rois, ne cherchez pas plus loin car la pâtisserie Maison Cangina est juste exquise. Ma dégustation de leur galette des rois a été un véritable enchantement pour moi et mes papilles ; )

Dès l'entrée dans la boutique, l'arôme irrésistible de pâte feuilletée fraîche et garniture frangipane maison m'a transporté dans un monde de délices sucrés. La galette des rois, véritable œuvre d'art ! Et je vous parle pas du roi fourré une dinnnnngerrrrieeee !

Le savoir-faire artisanal de cette pâtisserie transparaît dans chaque détail, de la dorure délicate de la pâte à la présentation élégante ainsi que la garniture jusqu'au joli santon. Depuis les santons sont des santons traditionnelles de la crèche avec de la feuille d'or dessus !

En conclusion, cette pâtisserie à Aix-en-Provence a conquis mon cœur avec sa galette des rois d'exception.

👏 Bravo et félicitations l'équipe Maison...

It was pricey. Ok. The one negative thing is out of the way. Great coffee, fresher squeezed orange juice, and too many delicious looking pastries. The raspberry tart was otherworldly, the eclair amazing ( I got a second one) , very good hot cocoa and a lemon pound cake that was excellent. Deal with the prices but don’t...
