What could be better than a sweet pastry that tastes a little like childhood and that everyone can agree on, whether young or old, from Berlin, Vienna, or somewhere in between? Angie's Patisserie offers exactly this kind of treat. Among Armenian tartlets and cupcakes, one classic stands out: the éclair. French name, but Armenian soul. In German, it's simply a cream puff – less glamorous than “éclair,” but in the end, it's what's inside that counts. And at Angie's stand, there's a lot inside: fine choux pastry, filled and decorated with chocolate or vanilla cream.

In Armenia, éclairs are very popular during the Christmas season. They are baked, given as gifts, devoured, and baked again as soon as they are gone. A real festive treat. At Street Food Thursday, these round balls are available every evening, but because December is already full of festivities and sweet temptations, we are naming Armenian éclairs the Christmas pastry of the month in this section
