Oh Faon! - Review - 6th Arr. - Marseille - The Infatuation

"Vegans often get the short end of the stick in France, but not at Oh Faon. The name is a play on words—“oh fan” is a Marseillais interjection of surprise, like the one most people have when they taste the pastries and desserts here and realize they’re this good without any dairy. Despite exclusively using plant-based ingredients, the desserts here taste better than those in many conventional bakeries. The space is split between two storefronts on the same street, one doorway apart: the patisserie sells all kinds of viennoiserie, cakes, and pretty tarts, while the biscuiterie’s glass case is filled with little cookies and biscuits, like jam thumbprints and sablé sandwiches with chocolate-hazelnut spread." - Sophie Friedman
