Le Fourneau Acadien

Bakery: Le Fourneau Acadien
Address: 2637 Acadie Rd, Cap-Pelé, NB
Website: n/a 
Style: Acadian 
Price: $  

This humble bakery, looking a bit like it took over an ancient Country Style with loaves of white bread in place of doughnuts, is nonetheless your destination for all things... Acadian. Yes, the name does say it all; however, as is the case with what I'd call the 'doughnut diner' that it so resembles, Le Fourneau Acadien does sell a little bit of everything, from hot breakfast, burgers, to clams and well, baked goods including sweet buns and pies. The latter was at such affordable prices that you feel like you're robbing the place!
These baked goods are sold either individually, including pies, loaf cakes, and buns, or one smaller trays in packs of two or more (two muffins, more cookies, etc.). I was intrigued by these two buns: one a blueberry bun and the other a bit like you rolled a bun with tarte au sucre filling. At first glance, they looked like flaky dough, a sort of danish; however they looked better than they tasted. Not that they didn't taste good -- on the contrary -- but that the more dense, puffy dough reminiscent of a cross between a cinnamon bun and a scone wasn't the texture I was after. Good in taste with lots of respective topping, and at $2.75 for both, it was still well worth the price.
