Banelé (@banelesg)

Banana bread crossed with a canelé—dense like a fudge brownie, but finished with a crackling caramelized crust. Pastry devotees head up Chancery Court for the signature bake, prized for a crunchy exterior that yields to a rich, fragrant banana crumb without cloying sweetness. The Amande variation conceals melted chocolate, while sturdy takeaway boxes bundle bite-sized Petite Bundts in flavors like pistachio, PBJ, and yuzu lavender. Counter seats usually take theirs served warm under a scoop of ice cream or paired with an espresso affogato.
