Crunchy chewy carmelized outside with a most, dense, springy maybe with lemon &/or vanilla notes inside. Best canelé, hands down!! They make them right there!

Good caramelized outside & amazingly soft, moist, mildly sweet, custardy inside. The only drawback from perfection was the lack of crispness on the outside. Still it was dreamy.

Moist inside & out with a fine coat of tiny crunchy sugar crystals or maybe that was the caramelization. Subtly flavored. A very fine canelé by Patisserie Vanessa in Harlem.

Pretty close to perfect! Dark& chewy outside, although I prefer crunchy. Springy, moist vanilla rum cake inside.

The caramelized crust was compellingly crunchy! The soft custard interior with hints of vanilla & rum was very good. My only disappointment was that the custard only filled part of the inside, leaving a big air pocket. I definitely preferred the traditional one over the darker one made with rye flour. I can’t remember how the flavor compared with my favorite canele at Courier Coffee in Portland, but I don’t think any canele can be better than that one!

I thought I took a picture of it when whole! At least I got the inside. Nice & eggy inside with a mildly spicy undertone. Unfortunately i discovered it in my tote the day after I bought it (!), so I can’t judge whether the exterior was originally as crispy & carmelly as I like it. I’ll try again another day. Still, all in all, very good!

Chewy on the outside & very dense & so much rum on the inside!

Very good! The insides were moist, springy & tasted of vanilla. The outside was a little too tough, not crisp enough & didn't have the same amazing caramel flavor that the canelé from Courier Coffee in Portland did. (I'm on a bit of a quest to see if I can find a canelé in NYC equal in quality to the one at Courier Coffee in Portland Oregon.)

Caramelized outside, moist, dense & chewy on the inside. Very good.

It was good, but the outside was too chewy, maybe due to the humidity. The inside was moist & pleasant, with a perhaps vanilla flavor. It was larger than others I’ve had. It is not the best, which was from Portland, Oregon (posted).
