For this special collaboration, we've teamed up with Sugoi Sweets — a Chicago-based artisan chocolate and confection studio helmed by Chef Elle. "Sugoi" (すごい) is a Japanese term for that feeling of being awestruck by a moment — something like "oh... wow" or "amazing" — and it's exactly what Chef Elle's hand-painted bonbons deliver, drawing on her time living in Kyoto and a deep love of color, seasonality, and craft.
For August 16th, Sugoi Sweets created four special bonbon flavors inspired by our Spice Routes concept — and in turn, we're translating those flavors into our own canelé form. Indulge in this curated assortment of four handcrafted canelés — crisp, caramelized exteriors giving way to soft, custardy interiors that melt in your mouth with complimentary fillings and additions. This set features:
Saffron & Pandan Blossom – saffron and pandan blossom-infused canelé crowned with a silky apricot Swiss meringue buttercream and delicate rose petals
Matcha-Lavender and Blueberry – bright lemon-lavender honey canelé filled with a blueberry compote center, finished with matcha whipped ganache and fresh blueberries
Jasmine & Orange Liqueur – fragrant jasmine and orange liqueur canelé dipped in a dark chocolate shell, topped with candied orange
White Sesame-Turkish Coffee – bold Turkish coffee canelé rolled in sesame sugar and finished with a spiced tahini Swiss meringue buttercream
How to order:
Individual canelé – $5 (choose your flavor)
Pair – $9.50 (choose 2 flavors)
Set of 4 – $18 (one of each flavor, best value at $4.50/each)
Presale quantities are limited — reserve yours in advance to guarantee your flavors. These canelés will also be available to purchase on-site the day of, while supplies last.
Pickup: Sunday, August 16th, 12 PM until sold out, at Sugoi Sweets — 937 N. Ashland Ave, Chicago, IL 60622
A one-time collection, inspired by two kitchens — perfect for gifting or savoring as a luxurious treat during our August 16th collaboration celebration.
