The 45 best kouign amann spots in Paris

so good!!!!! It was our first time in the bakery so we just ordered what we thought might’ve been good. I loved the passionfruit desserts i got, they were my favorite ones. Macaroons were soft and chewy and I loved the flavors! The chocolate cake one was a bit too sweet but still 10/10!! I think the third one we got was a carmel thing which we didn’t like as much, the flavor was a bit too bland except for the crunchy shell of sugar. But again we were just randomly trying things, so overall everything was amazing! Will definitely come back again :) !!!

The chocolate babka was very rich and delicious. The other desert had a good amount of rum in it. No coffee or seating here though so find some other place nearby for it. Overall would recommend!

Exquisite lemon tart with good balance of tartness and sweetness Hazelnut Praline cake was excellent Although Stohrer is famous for their rum baba, it’s too alcoholic to my liking. It was drenched in rum syrup

This pastry shop is a gem! The chocolate cakes are decadent and rich, a true treat for any chocoholic. I also loved the pistachio and lemon desserts – the flavors are perfectly balanced, fresh, and not overly sweet. What I appreciate most is the ever-changing selection; it keeps the experience exciting every time I visit. The chocolate section is particularly fantastic, offering a variety of indulgent options. If you're in Paris, this spot is a must-visit for dessert lovers!

Stohrer patisserie is the oldest patisserie in Paris, was founded in 1730 by King Louis XV’s pastry chef, Nicolas Stohrer. The store is beautiful, you should take a look if you’re around. Their patisseries look amazing, I tried raisins and nuts covered with chocolate and the chocolate eclair. Both were amazing 🤤 the quality of their ingredients is top classic. I bet all their offerings taste equally good.

The oldest pastry shop in Paris. What they do is classic but excecuted perfectly. You can taste the sugar and butter properly. Love it. A muat visit when in Paris. Would be great to have a place to sit but not a deal breaker.

Do you prefer modern or classic pastries 🧁? I personally find it hard to choose... But it's true that I love traditions and traditional cuisine in particular. So when I got the opportunity to visit the oldest pastry shop in Paris, I couldn't say no. And when on the top of it, this pastry shop was created by the person who invented the world famous baba au rhum, and baba au rhum was my grandmother's favorite dessert, that shop quickly became THE place I wanted to visit in Paris. 🤩 Who cares about the Eiffel tower, the Champs Elysées or Notre-Dame when you can go to Stohrer?! OK, I'll tell the truth 😇: I've visited Paris so many times that I think I've pretty much seen it all, but I had never been to Stohrer. That helps shifting priorities. 😉 At home, I'm the only one who likes baba, so the rest of the family had other items that I couldn't try because my baba was so huge. They looked good though and my family enjoyed them. 👍 About my baba, I did like it but I must confess I was kinda disappointed. First off, it was too big and I had lunch not so long before. But even without that, I think I'd like it better smaller. The more isn't always the merrier. 🤷 Also, it's a matter of taste but I prefer when the syrup is sweeter and less alcoholic. In fact, I've realized that I prefer Neapolitan baba (sweeter for what I've experienced) to French baba. To my Italian friends, that does NOT mean that Italians invented baba. Baba is a Polish pastry modified (enhanced, if you prefer) by a French pastry chef then exported to Naples where it became extremely popular. 🙌 Back again to my baba, I enjoyed it but I don't dream about it. Yet, I wouldn't mind going back to Stohrer and trying other things 😋 (and / or the baba again 😜). I almost forgot: as opposed to other places in Paris, I didn't find Stohrer extremely expensive. In fact, less than €6 for that huge (historical) baba seemed quite fair. 👏 . . . Quality & taste: 8/10 Quantities: 10/10 Atmosphere: n/a Originality: 10/10 Ratio price / quality: 9/10 Service: 9/10 How I felt afterwards: 9/10

This bakery was highly recommended so we gave a try and tasted the croissants, the Canele and a couple cakes and everything was delicious. I don’t think is the best croissant I tried in France but you can tell is above average and among the best.

I saw the cafe in a YouTube video and was worth the visit. One of the best croissant and pain au chocolate I have ever had. The size is super big and you can taste the rich butter flavour. Prizes are super cheap. I highly recommend

Average prices. The staff wasn't very friendly, but they were attentive. We asked for a Croque Monsieur. They brought it burnt, but we had to replace it. The croissant was like a pastry, soft, and not as delicious as I expected. A complete disappointment. The eclairs were good. They gave a customer who came after us a toast wrapped in foil that had fallen on the floor. It was far below my expectations.

They speak English here and were friendly. We got the croissant and pain au chocolat; the croissant wasn’t the best we had, but it was still good. It had layers but it wasn’t crunchy and all that buttery. The pain au chocolate was the better of the two; had a nice crunch to it. I don’t know how much the drinks were individually but I got a latte and an orange juice for about 9 euros. The orange juice was freshly squeezed and delicious - highly recommend you get it.

The best croissant and pain au chocolat I have ever had. So good I had to go back and have another! Crispy, warm, and melting in your mouth. I wish I could package this patisserie in my pocket and take it home. Thanks for such an amazing breakfast

I should've not listen to Mark Wiens to try the croissant and pain aux chocolate here!Such a disappointment! There's no layers at all and everything sticks together! The bread is soft like a wet towels! Then the staff asked me to leave with a rude tone because I didn't say "sur la place'? But they didn't ask me how I wanted to eat it and just packed everything in a bag for me?! I was planning to have it there!

We were on vacation from the United States & are so happy we made it to Blè Sucre! We loved their handmade chocolate croissant, pastries, cappuccinos, lattes, & thick creamy hot chocolate. They were friendly and helpful. This was a recommendation and it did not disappoint! Great way to start your day! ☕️🥐

The chocolate bread is very good, price: 2.1€ when you bite it you feel soft on the inside and crunchy on the outside, and the chocolate flavor is fanstatic. you can feel the taste of butter on your lips. I simply love it, however I could not say it is the best in all of paris, I will keep trying, and the price is higher compared to other bakeries. The service is very good, the lady who attended me, spoke english. They accept credit cards and I think there is no minimum purchase. Disadvantage: they don't have tables to eat bread, and they don't have much stock of bread, they don't serve drinks either.

The place is mostly famous for its cakes, but I tried their pain au chocolat pastry and it was one of the best I ever had. Generous, flaky, chocolatey, as it should.

The galette des roi really amaze me The puff pastry is delicate like snowflakes but it won’t make a mess. The taste is very light, the puff pastry is a bit To my surprise, all the puff layers are well baked, bc I had so many galette which the inner part are undercooked. Overall, the price is very high(7€ for a slice) for the flavor

I recently had the pleasure of sampling some cakes at Des gâteaux et du pain and I must say, they were some of the best I've ever tasted. The cakes were delicate, yet complex in flavour, and truly memorable. Each bite was a decadent experience that left me wanting more. The textures were perfectly balanced, with the cakes being both soft and moist. The flavours were complex, with each ingredient complementing the other.

One of the Best pain du Chocolate in town! Price is definitely not cheap comparing to the average bakery in town but it worth it (at least the pain du Chocolate) And this is the first thing they sold out everyday - after 10am, it is really based on luck. I got the freshly baked butter croissant couple of times, and it is even better!!! Have to admit I am not a big fan of their cookies - expensive and taste average (€20+ for less than 200g)

Heavenly pastries. Yes it may be expensive but worth every penny for those who appreciate the art and the taste! Many of their pastries are “one of a kind” good. The one topped with mango , the pamplemousse, the Kashmir … been every day of every single visit to Paris and just can’t get enough. Cons: they can be/act a tiny bit snobby, I wish they weren’t of course, and maybe they realize one day that humility makes their art more precious. That said, it’s not as difficult to tolerate a bit of a snob if it’s coming from the best in the art!

First off, why can't you take photos of your store? What an odd start to shopping at your store. Secondly, I found your staff standoffish. Thirdly, the desserts were all so bland. How is that even possible. Very disappointing. I just came from Rennes and had The Best Tarts from Pâtisserie Le Daniel & Maison Bouvier! Actually, I also had a delicious tart from a small place here in Paris called Les Gourmandes à Paris. Do check out these places.

This bakery is definitely worth the hype it gets! There is always a queue but the service is very fast so it’s worth the wait. The pain au chocolat and the chocolate filled donut were the highlights. The only con is the pastries weren’t warm so therefore it’s a 4/5. But it’s a great place to start your trip in Paris 😍 I didn’t get the chance to try the sandwiches but they looked amazing too. Amazing prices as well, we paid €11 for 4 pastries!

One of my favorite boulangeries in Paris! Their brioche is truly some of the best I’ve had ,and the choux à la vanille, which is exceptional. And the beignets au chocolat? Absolutely my favorite. A must-visit for pastry lovers!

This was the first place we went to in paris after dropping out bags off, and it did not disappoint! There was a queue going down the street at 10:00, but queue moved fairly fast. once inside, you’re greeted with the smell of pastry and butter! Would recommend the ham and cheese pastry and the almond croissiant. Bees also will greet you upon entry! Worth a visit if nearby!

This is one of the best boulangerie in Paris! The pastries are great! Tries many of those: the cream filled pastry, the ham and cheese sandwich, banka. Specifically- the vanilla cream filled pastry is by far one of the best (and in great price!). Must try!

Nice bakery in Paris! I wanna buy everything! Come early in the morning so you get the breads really fresh! Location: It is located around 45 Rue Condorcet. It’s just a bakery with no seating inside. Great display of breads and pastries! You would want to buy everything. I came early and there was no line. Service: not much interaction, just pay and go. Food: Everything was good and fresh! CROISSANT: so flaky and soft inside! Best I had!! And it was huge! BABKA: another favorite! The chocolate inside is not too sweet! They weigh it so depends on how heavy it is that is what you are going to pay. PAN AU CHOCOLAT: well its like croissant combined with babka. The bread is flaky with bits of that chocolate. Price rating: 6/10. It was not expensive. Definitely will come back to try other breads and pastries they have.

No seating, fast takeaway bakery. Fantastic bread. Queue builds up really quickly in the morning, so allocate some time for queuing but clears pretty fast.

So worth queuing! An excellent spot for fresh food and bakery. The baguette I have ordered for takeaway was filled to the brim with ham, accompanied by pickle and mustard and I savoured every single bite I have taken!!! Coffee was great too!

I can see why people enjoy Angelina, but for the price I would say it is a bit overrated. Initially, I thought the chocolat chaud was delicious, but when it cooled down I realized it just tasted like melted chocolate ice cream. If that’s your thing, great. Personally, I would not pay €10,5 for melted chocolate ice cream. Ordered Le Goûter set which came with a selection of savories (pictured on the bottom), and five minis of their classics desserts, and a choice of drink (I went with the hot chocolate). For €37, it was incredibly small. The hot chocolate is a smaller size than what you get when you order hot chocolate individually. The bread on the egg sandwich was a bit stale. The avocado toast bite was rather plain. The sweets were fun. Overall, I would say if you don’t mind spending money on some overpriced pastries and drinks, Angelina delivers that Parisian tourist hot chocolate experience. However, I would not return. That said, our waitress was very sweet.

Angelina was a great brunch spot for our family. Is it delicious? Does it take an absurd amount of time to get in? Has it become a total influencer/tourist attraction? Yes to all. For me, the food was delicious. The service was top-notch. The atmosphere takes you to another place. And it was an over all pleasant experience. Would I go back? Probably not. But that's ok! I'm still giving it a 5-star review because I truly enjoyed the food.

We had breakfast here and purchased pastries from the boutique. The staff in the cafe were very good as were the ones in the shop, polite, friendly and efficient. The room is a beautiful setting and their food and drinks were excellent. Great all round. We arrived early for breakfast and went straight in but when we left there was a long queue outside waiting to get in. If you’re just using the shop, skip the queue and just go straight in.

Beautifully appointed elegant tea room right out of the 1900's. The tables and chairs have been in place since the 1920s, the gilded decor and antique mirrors lendifil of earlier times. The drinking chocolate was amazing! Breakfast was as well. Service was excellent. I would highly recommend!

Not worth the long wait times and the price. The hot chocolate is good - and the service is good at the takeaway cart outside, but the place is just not geared to handle the endless queues and large volumes of guests and the table service is subpar. Many cafes nearby and all around central Paris have equally good hot chocolate and pastries for less than half the price and much less waiting time.

We finally arrived at the place that truly stole my heart – Angelina. Even before my trip, I thought this might just be a tourist trap, and because of that conviction, I wanted to go and try it for myself. Well, I can honestly say that the famous hot chocolate lives up to every bit of praise it gets! It was rich, velvety, and unlike anything I’ve ever tasted – without a doubt the best hot chocolate I’ve ever had. The service was impeccable, attentive without being overwhelming, and added to the experience. I also ordered the profiteroles, and they were just as outstanding – light, indulgent, and beautifully prepared. The atmosphere is elegant yet welcoming, making the whole visit feel truly special. And the best part – we were there to celebrate my birthday, which made the experience even more memorable. This is without question a place worth experiencing if you’re in Paris.

Overall food is pretty good. The chocolate is pretty good. wait time isn't too bad. we went on a weekday afternoon and got let in in 20 minutes. biggest problem I see is the service can be a hit or miss. I repeated asked for tap water but seems like the waitress forgot. I saw some tables served by other waiters got it without even asking.

Hi, Everything here is simply delicious - every baked good made with heart and utmost care. The decor of the bakery is beautiful and unique, full of charm and atmosphere that makes you want to come back. The staff are smug, passionate and welcoming. If you're in the area, it's worth trying everything, as each product is a little culinary masterpiece. Definitely one of the best places I've had the chance to visit!

Du Pain et des Idées is a must-visit bakery located in Paris’s 10th arrondissement, one of the city’s most authentic and surprisingly safe neighborhoods, where you can still find some of the most affordable living compared to central Paris. The bakery itself dates back to 1875, and you can feel its timeless charm the moment you step in. But the real joy comes when you sit outside: right in front, there are wooden tables where you can enjoy their unforgettable croissants and the famous escargot pastry. A little tip – grab a coffee from the lovely café just next door, then settle down at the bakery’s outdoor tables for the perfect Parisian breakfast moment. This combination of history, flavor, and atmosphere makes it not just a bakery stop, but a true Paris experience.

Croissants were very good, coffee was good but probably a bit overpriced. We were lucky that there was a short queue only when we went but the line was long moments later. Seating limited - only some bench tables outside. We had the pain au chocolates and the pistachio escargot - would recommend both.

best pastries I’ve had in Paris! We got pastries from so many places during our stay in Paris, but this was hands down the best one we tried! I got the Pain Suisse and it was still warm and so flaky - butter and chocolate perfection! Going back for more as soon as possible, truly the best pastries in Paris!

Extremely overrated, another overhyped photogenic spot… After hearing all the good things about it on social media, we were so looking forward to trying their pistachio snail but only to be left with disappointment. Completely agree with the other comments that it’s soggy and flavourless. You could barely taste the pistachio. To be honest, you don’t have to make a trip just for a croissant in Pairs. In my experience, with boulangeries around every corner of Paris, just head to the closest one to your location. Those frequented by locals would always do better pastries than the popular touristy places

This pastry shop lives up to the hype. There was a short line around 10 a.m., but it moved quickly. Two communal tables are available outside for seating. Several varieties of pastries lined the counter, with a special shout-out to the pistachio escargot and flan. My friend got the fig pastry and couldn’t stop raving about it the entire trip. If it were closer to our hotel, we would have visited daily.

Beautiful pastries in a cozy and nice space. I liked how they had a side window to hand over the drinks so the line in the store didn’t seem to get too long. I had “le flan” and it was the perfect complement to their hot chocolate, which was more on the unsweetened side.

Omg! The croissants, pains au chocolat and pains au raisin are heavenly! Also bought the lemon tarts/cake for my boyfriend’s birthday and it was so good!!! Best patisserie in the neighbourhood!

I love the pastries here equinoxe is my favorite. A little pricey but they’re the best pastries I’ve had while in Paris!

My daughter's friend found this place near the hotel Elysees Union where we stayed for our trip in Paris. The pastries here are extremely tasty and the crusts are excellent. We had mostly croissants, chocolate and custard filled pastries. We had them practically every morning. The prices are quite reasonable.

I tried the chausson aux pommes after reading other reviews. The pastry was flaky and appetizing but the filling was puree which I didn’t prefer as I don’t like the texture of apple sauce.

La Pâtisserie Cyril Lignac exceeded all expectations during our visit! 🍰 From the delectable Le Tigre to the flaky croissant, indulgent chocolatine, and irresistible madeleine, every pastry we sampled was simply divine. 😍 It's no wonder this establishment boasts such high ratings – the quality and taste are truly exceptional! 🌟 Whether you're a local or a visitor, a trip to La Pâtisserie Cyril Lignac is an absolute must for anyone with a sweet tooth.

This place has a very very good croissant, one of the best in Paris!!! I visited this place two years after watching a video from Alex The French Guy on YouTube, really good video of Paris’ best croissants! Not only was the croissant but excellent, you must also try “Le Tigre” pastry, it was absolutely delicious!!!!

I had seen many reviews for this Pâtisserie and was a little skeptical thinking if it's just a hype. But definitely not! It maybe a little expensive considered to other places but it is a must try! Staff was also very friendly and explained the flavours of the cakes on display. I bought a cake for 6, which was their signature, must try cake and yes it was delicious! I was too tempted to try out the other mini versions as well and they were all really tasty. Must try in Paris! 👍

One of the best boulangerie I’ve ever been to. As a sesamephile and yuzu lover, this place brought together three loves: pastry, sesame, and citrus. The yuzu sesame flan was sublime. Flan was not too sweet, had good black sesame depth, and yuzu was perfectly present. I had croissant as a litmus test and comp to other bakeries: 10 outta 10. Staff is friendly and let me order in terrible French. Coffee is okay but you’re not here for that.

good but not amazingly good, the apple turnover was too heavy with not much of the fillings, croissant was good, but the outside can be more crispy, and sesame roll is a bit sweet for me, and lack of sesame flavor, the baguette was with a sour flavor. there was a line but moved fast.

I went here because of social media. There was a bit of a line and a wait around 1 pm on a Sunday. I ordered the apricot pastry, which was good. Very flaky. Because of the line, I really didn't have time to browse and make a proper selection. The bakery was rather small and no place to sit, that is saw. There is no outdoor seating. I would return if in the area.

We visited Boulangerie Utopie a few times while in Paris in an attempt to try the black sesame roll. We went at 10:45 AM during our first visit on a Tuesday and they were sold out. We got to try a lot of items due to the multiple visits. We went around 7:30 AM on our other visits and the bakery cases were full and most of the pastries we got were still warm. Note that they don't serve sandwiches in the morning. Apple turnover - really flakey and full of apples. Be prepared for crumbs. Croissant - good all butter croissant Pain Au Chocolat - good pain au chocolat Sesame Roll - great for black sesame lovers Cinnamon Roll - wasn't bad but wouldn't need to get this again Pain Suisse - good Almond Pistachio Croissant - good Fig Tart - really pretty but the fig flavor was mild Pecan Dome - good Mini Black Sesame Madelines - skip, not a super strong black sesame flavor and a bit dry

I was on the hunt for the best croissant in Paris, and not only did I find it, I also found the best baguette. But the word is out — there was a line behind me twelve or thirteen deep. Had adorable Halloween croissants, too.

Best croissant in Paris IMO. Croissant with the right amount of flakiness, buttery yet not overly so, not doughy yet retaining that right amount of breadiness. Tried a few famous bakeries known for their croissants and Utopie was my favorite hands-down. A croissant only cost about 1.7 euros (or something around that). In comparison, another famous bakery not too far away was charging 3.8 euros per croissant (and that one was tasteless ironically).

One of the best bakeries in Paris! Fresh, high-quality pastries, standard prices, and very little waiting time. Highly recommended for breakfast or a sweet break during the day.

Good bakery with unique flavors for their pastries! Kouign amann which has seasame & ginger.

It’s a Boulangerie to take away. I was craving for a good croissant( I realised it’s not that easy to find in Paris) and it was exactly what a found. If you are around Belleville don’t hesitate to pass through and take one of their croissants or pain au chocolate. Also I try a pastry from Brittany. So good. Take it and go to the channel nearby.

We came here every morning for a pastry since our hotel was on the corner. Delicious pastries, we especially loved the pain au chocolat! (only €2,20?!) Crispy, flakey and quite big of size. Would definitely recommend!

Lovely bakery with delicious pastries. Also love the design of the store.

Really, I mean REALLY good bread. I tried almost everything and its always good. Would recommend also cinnamon brioche and banana bread, sandwiches are also usually good. I lowered the grade because one of the girls on the counter is very unpleasant to talk to and to my [luck] shes often there in the morning. The others are super nice though.

The brioche with matcha is worth the trip.

Overall good, but the pain au chocolat and croissant aren’t the best. Probably the cakes and everything else that’s not pastry is better.

Single macaron € 2.9 I chose praline pistachio and the lovely staff recommended rose flavor one so I tried those two macarons. I usually don’t like desserts with flower scents but rose flavored macaron was so much better than I expected:) It didn’t smell like artificial things. I could see why she told me this one is their most famous one! And pistachio one was another level. If you like pistachio or other kinds of nuts, must try it! + the staff was extremely kind so even if I couldn’t speak French I’ve never gotten in trouble in making an ordering🥹❤️ Thank you so much!

The macaroons were lovely. I recommend the apricot, which is a seasonal flavor and Jardon which is one of their famous flavors. I would give five stars but they closed earlier than the time listed online which was disappointing

Our group each got one macaron to try first so we could taste the flavours before deciding what to buy. The macarons themselves were delicious, and one asian staff member who helped us was very friendly. However, another worker seemed to laugh at us for only getting one macaron each, making a comment to her coworker, which felt unnecessary and a bit condescending. It made the experience uncomfortable, even though two people in our group (who were served by the friendlier worker) still ended up purchasing boxes. A shame, as the macarons were genuinely great.

Exquisite desserts- the hazelnut mille feuille was outstanding. Macaroons are excellent, we had rose and bergamot and caramel butter. It is a must try if you’re in Paris. Beautifully presented as take aways and gifts.

Finished my dinner and had a desire for macaroon. Although i was pretty fill up with food, the craving for just one macaroon got the better of me. Google and found this place. Bought chololcate and passion fruit as per recommendation ( i think it is called Mogador), and brought it back to the hotel to savour with some wine. It is good. I will buy again, in larger quantity, if timing permits.

Very poor service to foreigners. We first came in and picked out a few macarons and chocolate for takeaway and the cashier lady re-confirmed :”That’s it?!” We were not happy but I have decided to try their pistachio panettone on my way out since we have traveled far to come here. The panettone cost $35 and it was so dense and tasted just like an ordinary orange blossom brioche. Apart from their macarons, I don’t recommend anything else.

Without a doubt, this was one of the most perfect desserts I've ever had. It was perfectly balanced, and the vanilla flavor was outstanding. I could definitely eat another one. And I'd love to try something else, too! They have croissants, macarons, and there were even some jarred fruit spreads. Yum! This place is so divine. If you're in the area, do yourself a favor and stop in!

I love this bakery with all my heart ❤️ I go there every chance I get. All the small desserts are amazing, from the big cakes I love the white raspberry cake 🎂 I've been getting it for years. Definitely recommend trying some of their sweets!! Just grab one dessert and sit in the nearby cafe with coffee, it's the best! Or park just across the pâtisserie BUT I DON’T recommend ordering additional drawings on the cake 😂🥲 Don't get me wrong - I appreciate the work and effort that might go into this, but I had slightly different expectations. Below I've attached a picture of what I ordered and what I got. Not bad, but yeah, haha. However the cake was delicious!! 🤤

We were strongly recommended this pâtisserie by a local shop owner in the Montmare area. So of course we HAD to try it. The deserts are amazing! They look unreal and taste even better. The strawberry macarons were drool worthy and obviously freshly made there in the shop. Would 100% recommend a visit here if you’re in or close to the neighborhood!!

Absolutely unbelievable mind-boggling life-changing pastry. And he's a good dude too! Very affable and humble yet proud and delighted, as he should be. Un bon mec

Visited 2022. Delicious and worth going for high quality patisserie dessert items. The flavors were very delicate and went well together.

A local favorite recommended by residents. Everything looks beautiful, and I chose the éclair, which was visually stunning — I didn’t even know where to start! The cream was smooth and not too sweet, truly a blissful treat.

The pastries are almost as beautiful as they are delicious. The flavors are balanced and multilayered. It’s like trying to pick your favorite child, try them all and enjoy the exploration and journey.

We were experiencing serendipity to get to this place being pastry lover. We were in the area and attracted to buy pastries from Carl Marletti because of the long queue. My favourite is the Belle-Helene tart. OMG! It might be the best pastry I have tried in my life. Such a complexity of flavours: the chocolate almond cream and poached pear create amazingly tasty contrast in fruity and sweet tastes. We tried the Feather that was also great and the caramel eclair. They didn't had everything because it was December 31st. But it worth going back to Paris to enjoy these amazing original pastries. I will get huge box of pastries next time! If you are visiting Paris definitely worth going here. Thank you for providing such a great pleasure!

A Glimmer of Parisian Grandeur on the Champs-Élysées Amidst the bustle of the Champs-Élysées, Ladurée’s flagship salon offers a serene retreat, a pastel jewel box that feels indulgently Parisian. While the avenue brims with global commerce, stepping inside transports you to a world of elegance and charm. The recent renovations have enhanced its timeless appeal, blending Belle Époque sophistication with modern comfort. The ornate interiors now feel warmer and more inviting, perfect for afternoon tea or a leisurely lunch. Of course, the stars are the macarons. Each delicate bite — whether the floral rose or the indulgent salted caramel — balances crispness with tender sweetness, a hallmark of Ladurée’s craft. The pastries are no less impressive, miniature works of art that delight both the eyes and the palate. Though often labeled a tourist pilgrimage, the attentive service and consistently superb quality elevate the experience well beyond cliché. Ladurée remains a place to savor not just French patisserie, but a touch of Parisian perfection, right on the world’s most famous avenue.

Wow! I had high expectations for the macarons but was stunned by the beauty of the shop. They have curated this location so beautifully; you are in a dream being there! The Macarons were the perfect mix of slight crunch on the outside and soft, yummy inside. None of the flavors tasted artificial, and my favorite was the passionfruit. This is a must stop location in Paris.

Ladurée is a truly enchanting Parisian café. We tried their macarons and coffee here, but the experience goes far beyond that, the atmosphere itself is captivating. The setting is elegant and charming, and the macarons are absolutely delicious. To be honest, I’ve had macarons of similar quality in Türkiye as well, but the ambiance here makes everything feel more special and refined. Places like this are not just about taste- the whole experience comes together as one. It’s definitely a spot that deserves a place on your Paris list.

Very nice place, very cute french vibes. They have a restaurant, we didnt eat there. Its expensive. On the side door you can stand in line for the macrons. They use jam and not frosting, they were the best you will ever try most likely. Worth it to try. They have probably about a dozen or so flavors. You get a nice box with your purchase. They serve hot drinks and other sweets we didnt try them.

I honestly expected this place to be a big tourist trap, but the truth is I really loved it. Yes, we had to wait in line to be seated, but it was absolutely worth it. The food was delicious – we ordered avocado toast, a burrata salad, a cocktail, and hot chocolates. Everything was beautifully prepared, and the hot chocolates were simply incredible! The service was excellent as well – attentive, professional, and very welcoming, which made the experience even better. To top it all off, we picked up some macarons at the end to take home as gifts, and they were delightful. Overall, it turned out to be a wonderful experience, much better than I had anticipated. Definitely a spot worth visiting!

Lauderee Paris is a MUST if you are visiting "The City of Lights" I highly reccomend the tea expérience, and their hot chocolate ! I was stunned at how delicous the Chocolat Chaud was! It was even better than "Angelina's" steaming beverage! Make certain to make réservations first, they do get quite busy. The staff is all very friendly and the atmosphère and ambiance are phénoménal. A small slice of Heaven on Earth!

Visited Ladurée because of the hype and to finally try their famous macarons. The interior was absolutely beautiful—very elegant and aesthetic, which definitely adds to the experience. We expected a long wait, and it was indeed quite a while. Unfortunately, the coffee was below basic, and the macarons were just okay. I’ve definitely had better elsewhere. What disappointed us the most was the service. The staff were quite unfriendly. We asked for a table upstairs and were told there were none available, but after, we walked upstairs and found that half the space was empty and not reserved. Overall, it’s a pretty place but the service and quality didn’t quite live up to the hype.

The cakes that we bought were beyond our expectations. The chocolate cake (Toulouse Lautrec) is not just a dark chocolate cake. It has two layers together with some crunchy nuts which provides balanced texture and flavours. The framboise tart is delicious as well. Fresh berries plus light cream, good combination! Would come back for sure.

This is probably the best pastries I’ve had in Paris. The flavors were unique and delicious. The macarons were flavorful. The pastries looked as beautiful as they were tasty. The shop was is just across the street and few door down from another pastry shop that was recommended but frankly I wasn’t impressed by what I saw at the other shop. Arnaud’s macarons had a nice rise and feet as opposed the other shop down the road. The Hawaii tarte was probably the next to the least favorite of the items I had; it had a nice rose flavor and a slight lychee flavor but overall didn’t have the same punch as the pastries. The Ivorie had a refreshing fruit jam center. The salted caramel eclair was the least favorite item— it was too salty for my taste. Pavlova Retour d’Hanoi was a hit with the light coffee flavor and coconut. This place it take out only.

The items are delicate and artistic. Also taste great.

The macarons were good. The seasonal Noel macaron was excellent. The eclair was okay. The pastry of the eclair did not taste fresh. It was a shame as the chocolate on top and filling were good. I didn’t finish it and had to throw it out.

Arnaud Larher is the most premium bakery we visited on our trip to Paris last year. The helpful staff were the friendliest Parisians we met, and they let us practice our French while ordering. We tried the millefeuille praline and tarte Honolulu. Both were some of the most exquisite desserts I have ever tried. Don't be intimidated by the prices here, you get what you pay for. I have friends and family that could not fathom spending 6-8€ for a modestly sized treat. But, if you've ever wondered why the French are considered bakery artists Arnaud Larher is the place that will convince you that they earned that title fair and square.

The worker is not very nice. I bought two pastry from this shop today and after I went back to my place, I found out that one of it was broken and missing a part ! Are you kidding me to sell a failure like this to your customer with the title of MOF? I wouldn't recommend this shop to anyone

Delicious framboise cake, efficient service, a little pricey but enjoyed every mouthful

Very good pastry shop offering a wide range of options. Products are fresh and beautifully arranged. Staff is nice and welcoming.

Only tried one item from here, a cheesy soft pretzel but it was sooooo delish and I wish I had more. €10 credit card minimum. So many delish options to choose from that it was hard to pick just one. Definitely need to go back for more next time I’m in town. Also not crowded at all and a quick purchase.

Excellent pastry. Bought their Eclair, although it’s €5 each (slightly expensive), but the quality is top notch which makes every penny counts. Highly recommended!

Beautiful patisserie! The pastries here are like works of art! They’re too pretty to eat, but they taste soooo good! This is one of my favorite places in Montmartre for croissants and cakes! They’re worth the money!

Very average, not worth a visit. We tried their chocolate eclair and 2 madeleines (lemon and praline) that are their best sellers. The eclair was way too sweet, you could barely taste the chocolate at all. The madeleines were okay, but not worth a detour.

Incredible selection, very friendly. Almond croissant done just the way I prefer. Excellent structure, nice amount of marzipan and nice toasty almonds atop...Oh and great cup of espresso, good value all around.

One of the best croissants and pain au chocolate I had in Paris! It was ultra fluffy with so many lamination layers while not being too heavy tasting! The madelines are also quite amazing here!

Came here because of the good reviews in search for the best baked goods in Paris. Took a chance on the chausson sale which was delicious, buttery pastry, well-seasoned potatoes with lots of herbs and spices. Also got their unique chocolate savoir-faire, which was a very nice cookie with a snap and a balanced chocolate slab inside. Would love to come back to try more of their creations!

The Tartelette Aux Pommes (Apple Tart) was awesome and delicious. Would definitely recommend if you craving for a good apple tart. Sable Fourre (Biscuit with Chocolate Filling) was a good biscuit with dark chocolate filling. Bonhomme Pain D’Epices (Gingerbread Man) was interesting. It was an actual ginger bread instead of ginger cookie. The ginger bread was okay overall but prefer the ginger cookie style :)

We were very happy going to Poilane. We usually order loaves by FedEx for special occasions, so it was a treat to visit a physical location. Our French is terrible but the staff was cordial and we were able to communicate reasonably well.

Small little bakery with amazing food. Open early with very friendly staff, even though we spoke no French. They did understand some basic English words, enough for us to describe and ask what some things are. For where it is located, we found the price very reasonable, see the picture below for what we got for under 15€ (3 of each and ¼ of a large sourdough). If you are in the area, I would recommend having a look, or picking something up on the way to the Tower to eat.

Excellent historic and well known bakery with rich background. Lovely sourdough bread and baked goodies. Very buttery croissants.

Tried their famous sourdough and really like their texture. The bakery provides pre-sliced bread in half or quarter.

Fantastic place ! Exelent bread , and pastries, recommendations, test the apple tarts, it’s amazing!

The city life is intoxicating with so much to do and see. Chocolate croissant was better than expected. Worth a trek. Next door is a cafe where you can order a cappuccino and bask in the sunlight for a few.

The tart tatin is heaven!!!

Cannot describe in words. Products from this patisserie are delicious. I tried few, pictures are posted. Also did try their croissant and other food items too, but was busy eating and completely forgot to take pictures. Must try!

We visited because Laurent Duchene was on several lists for the best croissant in Paris. This was definitely NOT the case and Laurent Duchene was a huge disappointment. Their croissant is not buttery or flaky at all and tasted like a bread roll. Not sure what happened but we either went on a bad day or their quality has fallen off drastically. The croissants at my hotel's breakfast buffet are better than their croissants. If taking the metro here and getting off at Convention station, there is a fabulous bakery right at the corner of Vaugirard and Alain Chartier - It does not show on Google Maps for some reason but the awning said "Artisan Boulanger". We had several items from here and they were all fantastic.

We had croissants here, it's said that it has the best croissants in Paris, so the expectations levels up. Though the croissants were good, it would be exaggeration to credit it as the best one in Paris.

I have visited this bakery in 2019, and still can’t forget the pastries offered by Laurent Duchene. They make the best pastries in the world! True French bakery masterpiece!!! Merci for the best French taste!

Be prepared for a line or a slight wait. This bakery is in high demand! They bake sour dough bread which is pretty good. The paris Brest is super addictive, thé palmiers are slightly over cooked pretty much always but other than that it’s a good bakery

Great bakery, bread was good but was even more impressed by the pain aux chocolat and flan. Pain aux chocolat was probably the best I had in Paris! Flan had a nice custard similar to an egg tart.

Good cookies. Bought some as souvenirs too. Wanted to try pasties too, but this would be next visit. I came in the afternoon and most items were sold out.

The best flan I’ve tried in Paris and I’ve hit up dozens of places! The filling was flavoursome and light, the crust was perfect (crunchy and held everything together perfectly). I was really impressed. The other pastries are very good but it was the flan that stood out as the best in Paris.

Cutest bakery with really great croissants! I would definitely recommend this place!

A 3rd generation bakery, which is known for its famous round sourdough. You can feel that it is a family run business that revers bread!!!! 🍞 The demeanour of the staff is more like a sommelier of bread and they are thoughtful in helping you pick the right bread…I mean how can you go wrong???? I had the tartelette aux pommes and let me tell you I contemplated hiding the second from my husband to have later! It is unreal!

Pain au chocolate had mold on it and was definitely not fresh, at 9am. Went back & got a new one but definitely disappointing

Looks more like an atelier than a bakery, but there is a lovely lady behind the counter who will be happy to assist you. I love the apple croissant, highly recommend. Their pain au chocolat was also good. I found the cookies not so special, perhaps lacking that buttery flavor.

(Translated by Google) When I have 50 pain au chocolat in front of me, I ask for 1 and the waitress crouches down to grab a pain au chocolat that has come from who knows where and that I can't see, already It’s fishy! Then when I ask for a financier and they recommend a sort of marzipan clafoutis that they call 'financial', no, that's too much. Too bad! And without the slightest sign of politeness too! Chao! (Original) Quand j'ai 50 pains au chocolat sous les yeux, que j'en demande 1 et que la serveuse s'accroupit pour se saisir d'un pain au chocolat venu d'on ne sait où et que je ne peux pas voir, déjà c'est louche ! Ensuite quand je demande un financier et qu'on me conseille une sorte de clafoutis à la pâte d'amandes qu'ils nomment 'financier', non, là c'est trop. Trop nul ! Et sans la moindre marque de politesse en plus ! Tchao !

(Translated by Google) It's not great. Not catastrophic, but when you read “best worker in France” on the front, you (I?) expect much better! Damage :( The staff is very good though (Original) Ce n'est pas terrible. Pas catastrophique, mais quand on lit "meilleur ouvrier de France" sur la devanture, on (je ?) s'attend à bien mieux ! Dommage :( Le personnel est très bien néanmoins

(Translated by Google) I do not recommend this bakery, the welcome has deteriorated greatly since the sudden departure of our favorite baker Nadia (besides we do not think that she left without reason according to the words of the good woman who was at the counter?) plus the products have increased, you realize a small sandwich loaf at 5e a small tartlet at 4e5 and the worst part is that it is not good! The same price as in the 16 but not the same quality, in short, to avoid (Original) Je déconseille cette boulangerie l accueil c'est fortement dégrader depuis le départ soudain de notre boulangère préféré Nadia ( d ailleurs nous ne pensons pas qu elle soit partie sans raison d après les dires de la bonne femme qui était au comptoir?) de plus les produits ont augmenté vous rendez vous compte un petit pain de mie a 5e une petite tartelette a 4e5 et le piire c est que ce n' est pas bon! Les même prix que dans le 16 mais pas la même qualité bref a fuir

(Translated by Google) Delicious! I recommend the flaky chocolate brioche. I had never tasted it anywhere else. It's a bit like a brioche-shaped chocolate roll. Crispy, light, airy, the chocolate melting inside, the sugar on top slightly caramelized. The two of us ate everything and had a great time! (Original) Délicieux! Je recommande la brioche feuilletée au chocolat. Je n'en avais jamais goûté ailleurs. C'est un peu comme un petit pain au chocolat en forme de brioche. Croustillant, léger, aérien, le chocolat fondant à l'intérieur, le sucre dessus légèrement caramélisé. Nous avons tout mangé à deux et nous sommes régalés !

(Translated by Google) Excellent little bakery, the bread and cakes are delicious and the welcome is always with a smile, I'm talking about flour O, I'm not talking about the old bakery and the old team, of course.... . I recommend, eyes closed! (Original) Excellente petite boulangerie, le pain et les gâteaux sont délicieux et l'accueil se fait toujours avec le sourire, je parle de farine O, je ne parle pas de l'ancienne boulangerie et de l'ancienne équipe, bien entendu..... Je recommande, les yeux fermés !

(Translated by Google) But where has Nadia gone?! His smile is sorely missed in this shop, what a waste!! I came mainly for its welcome because the products are no longer of the same quality since the change of owners too bad I will go elsewhere.... (Original) Mais ou est donc passé Nadia?! Son sourire manque cruellement à cette boutique quel gachi!! Je venai surtout pour son acceuil car les produits ne sont plus de même qualité depuis le changement de propriétaires tant pis j' irai ailleur....

(Translated by Google) I passed by by chance, but as I am often in the area, I will come back. The bread was very good, but what's more, the welcome was so lovely! (Original) Je suis passée par hasard, mais comme je suis souvent dans le coin, je reviendrai. Le pain était très bon, mais en plus l'accueil a été tellement adorable !

Nice shop very clean, great selection but most of them would be gone early in the day. Still you can try any of their eclairs they are all delicious! They are helpful if you have any questions about the sweats and would answer further questions about the shop, their products if the shop isn’t crowded. We had a lovely conversation.

A place with lovely eclairs and chocolates. Each eclair is so beautiful, although the prices are more expensive than other patisseries. The staff are very friendly and helped with ensuring the products I bought suited my allergies. It's a lovely indoor space, but I wish we could have eaten at the shop rather than only have take out options.

Both éclairs were just amazing. Especially the passion fruit éclair was the best dessert I ate in Paris. Macaroons were also very nice. Also, the manager was very kind, welcoming visitors with a nice smile. There's no reason not to visit this place!

Beautiful eclair shop, wide variety of flavours of eclairs. It was a little bit steep per eclair (£5 each) but we’re in Paris. We tried the passionfruit, the yuzu and the dark chocolate, all of which were just divine... I didn’t expect the pastry to be tougher than the fluffy eclairs we’re traditionally used to, but all in all it was delicious. Paired with hot genmaicha to wash it all down, it was the perfect shelter from a rainy afternoon!

Something you try once and taste 2 flavors or more. I had the pineapple with passion fruit which was fruity and fresh . The salted caramel one was good as well more on the sweet note . The filling is quite liquid not very creamy and heavy . Each piece is 6.50 euros otherwise u can have 4 mini pieces for 12 euros or box for 35 euros . Size is not fulfilling. They had limited selection though.

Nice looking shop, great selection of eclairs. They sell chocolates too which make great souvenirs. Bought the tasting set to try the different flavours, good quality. A little on the pricier end. Honestly speaking, not mind blowing. I’ve had better ones in Singapore (oops, sorry Paris)

We saw a reviews about L’Éclair de génie and added it to our plans in Paris. Eclairs are delicious, fresh and juicy. Yes, price is a little bit higher that in other places, but this eclairs are different in taste. If you are visiting Paris, you need to taste eclairs in L’Éclair de génie.

Chocolates were fine, 9 small pieces for 14euros is obviously expensive but theres some complexity The caramel though, 22euros for this small bag is simply crazy. 135euros per kg The taste is quite unique, although it's really not incredibly good. It's like hard caramel candy mixed with soft chewy candy, it's almost half liquidy in how malleable it is. The taste is interesting too, on top of the usual caramel taste there's another hint, although again it's definitely not good enough to warrant the price. Not sure why it's so popular, if you must come here, maybe try one or two caramels at most, definitely don't get the whole bag. For reference pictured costs me 37euros. Ridiculous

I have no issue with shops closing for summer vacation, but to walk across Paris for 45 minutes in 34c heat as my son wanted to go to this shop after watching YouTube videos to discover its closed is unacceptable and frankly arrogant on the basis you can't be bothered to update Google maps with shop opening times. A simple task to do, and shows courtesy.

Easily the most beautiful heavenly chocolatier. Gorgeous and delicious jellies so fresh and vibrant tasting. And those caramels, buttery and soft, rich and delicious. But wait, the chocolate! Complex fine fresh, deep flavors. The staff could not have been nicer. We made a few small purchases and they were kind patient and so helpful.

We were walking around North Marais and walked into this well known chocolate shop to sample their chocolates and caramels. Needless to say they were just perfect

Love the pate de fruit. Was so sad to learn that the cafe portion of the shop closed years ago. Still worth a stop for the pate fruit and caramels.

This place is RIDICULOUS! I've gone in twice and had to wait forever. The chocolate buying process is so slow and they have two people at most working there. Nothing is worth waiting the times you are required to wait for a product. No issue with salespeople. Issue with how cheaply the very expensive store is run. You can't have a big store with a product that takes a long time to prepare and have only two salespeople. Or you can, but you're going to lose a lot of business. I have no plans to return.

Simply the best chocolatier in Paris, perhaps the world. Magnificent. Blessedly, they ship fresh, beautiful chocolates to the USA. Amazingly fast service direct from Paris through the website. A miracle. Super good experience. Prices are approachable! We order every month for our office & home and treasure every delicious, luxurious morsel. When we do begrudgingly share, everyone who tastes becomes quite OBSESSED. Jacques Genin is our chocolate hero. You can really taste the love .

⚠️ Be cautious if you’re a tourist. This restaurant knowingly took advantage of us as foreigners and overcharged our meal. We ordered a light brunch with an oyster and a small lunch plate, but the server changed our order without consent and increased the price. When it was time to pay, the server avoided us and sent a coworker—who had not served us—to bring the check instead. To make matters worse, the food was mediocre and definitely not worth the inflated cost.

Dinner at Le Grand Café Fauchon was a highlight of Paris. We started with the Foie gras de canard du Sud-Ouest « maison », served with toasted brioche and figs — smooth, rich, and perfectly balanced. The main was the Filet de Bœuf de race normande, tender and juicy, paired with morel cream, spelt, and a pepper sauce that added real depth. For dessert, the iconic Bisou Bisou stole the show — a glossy red lips creation with red fruits, almond crunch, and vanilla cream. Playful, elegant, and unforgettable. Great wine pairings, attentive service, and a stylish atmosphere made the whole experience memorable.

First time with my son and my friend, a light snack after visiting the musee orangerie. Fauchon was so cool, loved to have the Clueless movie reference in real life. Brought home some limited edition macarons too, the barbe a papa. We called for a table ahead of time so the cafe knew we had a toddler. The server was great he gave my son a fauchon coloring book that was super cute, my son kept coloring it weeks after he got it. Merci beaucoup 🩵

Best value high end tea at 7 euro in Paris. Real leaf tea (for my Darjeeling) and a macron with exquisite desserts. Service is absolutely top notch for this 5 star hotel cafe.

Amazing restaurant in the city center of Paris facing the Madeleine Church. The service, friendly staff, delicious dishes. Just perfect!

Bonsoir Paris 🇫🇷 My sunset hour at Le Grand Café Fauchon was a perfect moment of Parisian epicurean pleasure. Nestled within the luxurious FAUCHON L’Hôtel Paris, I discovered a dining experience crafted by Maison Fauchon, a name synonymous with world-famous taste since 1886. As the sun began to set, casting a beautiful glow, I savoured the exquisite dishes, a testament to Maison Fauchon’s commitment to using the finest produce.

A Must-Have Experience in Paris It’s definitely worth the experience. Fauchon is a place that delivers on elegance and flavor, it’s the kind of place you should try at least once while in Paris. The location is perfect, right in front of La Madeleine. We went for a aperitif tasting , starting with a glass of excellent champagne, foie gras, some specialties, and freshly made macarons. Everything was top quality. The service was also wonderful. The view was beautiful, and something rare in Paris: there’s a parking spot right in front, very convenient. Elegant, delicious, and memorable. Would go back for a special treat.

I couldn’t resist the smell of pastry while I was passing in-front of the cafe 😆😋. They have fast and attentive service and the staff incredibly friendly. I felt truly welcome. I ordered chocolate cookies was so yummy and full nuts. I breakout my diet loool. Thank you and will come again to try new sweets.

My favourite bakery of Paris! This place is just amazing. All their pastries are warm and delicious. So much choice of savoury and sweet! Can’t recommend enough 😍

The croissant and coffee were both delicious. I really liked the self-service ordering screens—they make it easy to see all the options and prices. The restroom was very clean. The prices are also quite reasonable. I was especially happy that they offer a large size for the Americano and that I could order it that way. Overall, this place is very clean and offers great value. I can recommend it with complete confidence.

Bo & MIE is a cafe for anyone who loves pastries. Their selection of croissants and pastries is both delicious and varied — from the classic buttery croissant to more creative options. Pair that with their well-brewed coffee, and you’ve got the perfect combination for breakfast, a midday pick-me-up, or even a cozy afternoon treat. What really makes the experience stand out, though, is the service. The staff are incredibly friendly, patient, and attentive, making every visit feel warm and welcoming. Highly recommended for anyone looking to indulge in good quality pastries, great coffee, and fabulous service.

A wonderful café with a great range of savory and sweet treats!! We tried one of the best Quiche Lorraine we have tasted there. Their coffee was also wonderful, and their sweets delicious! The prices were very reasonable. The staff was quick to help, but could not do proper service due to the large amount of people visiting. Also the toilets were missing paper sometimes. But overall, it is a great café that I would visit again and again especially for quick visits!

An absolute delight, every bite was simply exquisite. Excellent service, highly recommended and thank you Parisians. It’s being a pleasure, God bless.

Went twice within 3 hours! Had breakfast, very nice croissant and pain au praline. Followed by a raspberry croissant and a little cookie tart. Our son declared it as the breakfast stop for our next few days. Already marked all locations on the map! Nice seating as well so perfect to start your day in Paris.

This bakery is a regular stop for me whenever I'm in town. This particular location (they have a few) is convenient and has a pleasant atmosphere – it's not usually too crowded or difficult to access, which makes it good for a weekend visit. You can check out the display before picking from a range of classic and modern pastries, like croissants, bostock, flans, and various mini cakes and tarts. They show skill with subtle but unique flavours and interesting textures in each bite. Grab a pastry and tart and find a spot at one of the counters along the windows. One relevant thing for 2025 though is that their bid to be eco friendly results in a disastrous cardboard spoon which isn't really effective at anything, so be sure to grab at least the flimsy wooden fork to cut through any tarts and cakes.

Amazing pastries and entremets! Their Paris-Brest is one of the best I've ever had, but other items do not disappoint. You can dine in, they offer coffee and other drinks to enjoy with your pastries. The vibe is welcoming and relaxed, which is not always the case at fine patisseries such as this.

I really liked this little boulangerie in Paris. The pastries were fresh and tasty—I had a croissant aux amandes and a chausson aux pommes, and both were really good without being too sweet. There’s also a small counter by the window where you can sit with a café and get some work done or just relax for a bit. It’s a quiet, comfortable spot that’s nice if you’re looking for a break during the day. Overall, a solid place for good pastries and a chill atmosphere.

Wow! The Paris Brest is something out of this world! I know it their best seller and it famous all around the world for it! It was also the only thing I took this time but I must come back to try other things as well. I really liked that this place have only few products and not many it shows the place quality and confident, and good that they have other shops around Paris so good for us :)

I think the photos speak for themselves. We went to pick the pastry. Despite pointing out the fact the icing was "running away", we were advised (saleswoman) to put it back in the fridge to bring it back to shape. Indeed the shape is interesting per se. As for the taste, well ... It tastes as it looks! Great brand, great advice, great pastry and surely a greater price for what it worth!

Yann Couvreur’s neighbourhood pâtisserie. The design is modern and fresh, with a chevron wood façade and one long case filled with pastries. A counter with bar stools runs the length of the window for guests to eat-in. The Tiffany-blue and gold fox-adorned packaging is just as adorable as the pastries within.

This is the best pastry shop in Paris. All of the pastries I tried were perfect, not too sweet, not heavy. The staff is outstanding in every location (we visited all three of them.... more than once...;) After eating here, we ended up just going back because pastries in other places were just too sweet and heavy. Atmosphere is chill and cozy. Definitely try the flan, pear and almond tart, kouign amann, and croissant (everything else is lovely as well, I just kept going back to these).

What I’m rating with this 5 star is the bakery. Not the tea salon. The owner of the bakery is a MOF, which means he won a very harsh competition to get his title. He has been 2nd to the best baguette of Paris in 2014. Now what you should take is any viennoiseries : croissant, pain au chocolat, chausson aux pommes, pain suisse. Or any small pastries : the best being the Tarte Tatin. The Paris Brest and the Mille feuille are terribly good. The quiche looked very good, juicy, generous last time I went. Some French cakes are baked to hard, you are not supposed to eat them like but with a tea or a coffee. You come to a bakery, please choose a vegetarian option that is not a cooked dish ( potatoes, lettuces etc ) . i.e take bread items : almost everything is vegetarian then. I’m annoyed sometimes to see the bakery trying to make vegetarian dishes to please everyone, this goes against the essence bakery : which is to bake. I have read the comments saying that they overcharge when you sit, and it is true ( thanks to Mc Donald ) because the taxes to sit or takeaway are different ( 5,5% vs 20%, btw McDonald only pays 5,5 %) Also, about the friendliness of the staff, things are made from scratch, which means you may have someone who has been here since 4 am for the bakers, 6 am for the staff. They may be tired as they don’t just come at 8am to empty a fridge or worst : a freezer. Again, that tarte Tatin you are not going to find everywhere, and it is so well made. My family is from Normandy, and the apples he chose are perfectly acid enough to balance the sugar. A marvel. The whipped heavy cream on the top is cuddling.

We arrived in Paris today. This was our first stop after checking into our apartment just around the corner. We purchased several items for take away. This bread was striking in its appearance so we purchased it too. It was surprisingly dense and moist. Old world style. It had a wonderful flavor & texture. The staff was extra friendly and attentive even though the shop was a bit busy. Highly recommended by me.

During my first day exploring Paris this winter, I had the pleasure of starting my morning at this charming bakery. The experience was cozy and inviting, a perfect introduction to the city’s culinary delights. The coffee was rich and aromatic, a delightful companion to the flaky, buttery croissants, and the éclair was absolutely divine, striking the right balance of sweetness and texture. While the bakery itself offers a lovely experience for those nearby, I’d say it’s more of a local gem than a destination spot. If you find yourself in the neighborhood, it’s definitely worth stopping by. However, I wouldn’t recommend making a special trip from afar, as the essence of this bakery is best enjoyed as part of a broader exploration of the area’s offerings.

So Parisian! Beautiful surroundings and tasty treats! The pastries were buttery and flaky. The windows are full of pastries, quiches and breads from a Meilleur Ouvrier de France (MOF) winner. Excellent location for people watching too.

Fantastic baguettes, pastries, sandwiches and salads. We were here every single day during our visit to Paris.

Their products are absolutely fantastic, but the service is the problem here. The staff is not friendly at all (especially with tourists), they have no interest in helping you at all and they completely refuse to speak english to non-french customers. It is so rude and I came here many times trying to get past their disrespectful attitude, but I just refused to go anymore. I had to find another place in the area. A shame, I think they lost a lot of customers due to that. So, yes, the products are delicious, but it is not worth it.

I bought a sandwich and a drink and sat at one of their outdoor tables to escape the rain. Almost all the tables were empty, and I had just bought the food there, yet an employee rudely told me to leave because it was “takeaway.” I’ve never encountered such rude and humiliating behavior — especially in Paris, where every other bakery lets you sit outside. Totally unacceptable.

Salmon Quiche was the nicest among the things bought. It’s fresh and has generous filling of salmon. Chocolate eclair is on a sweeter note, while cafe latte has very light coffee taste and strong milk taste instead. Pain suisse and mini croissant are both average and not as flaky as I thought it would be.

I loved all their pastries and the almond croissant was delectable. The service was also fantastic which is rare for Paris. I remember my servers being so kind and patient. The quality of the baked goods was top notch

Amazing flavors, in quiche and croissants fresh. Excellent prices. Staff very helpful and some speak English. No seating but other than that 💯 recommend when in Montmartre.

Super yummy fruit tart! The bite of it made me want more fruit during my Paris trip. Super fresh! It wasn’t extremely heavy to taste with sugar or custard on the lemon tart as well as the raspberry one! Highly recommend these pastries! Was also very intrigued to try the chocolate brioche cause it looked absolutely yummy and crisp! Huge line out the door, so come mildly hungry!! Jellycat also made a lemon and raspberry tart pastry and their tarts reminds me of them

Had the almond pain au chocolat (I think) and the chocolate eclair. Both were really good. I would happily come back here. Everything people say about is true. If you are in the area it is worth stopping in because it was one of the better bakeries.

A charming pastry shop that truly delivers on flavor and freshness. I tried their flan and éclair — both were absolutely delicious, with perfect textures and rich taste. You can tell they’re freshly made with quality ingredients. A must-visit spot for pastry lovers in Paris.

It’s famous for a reason. Fantastic pastries. Get the croissant and the speculoos eclair. Super light and delicious and very quick friendly service.

A slice of Parisian heaven right in Paris! Patisserie Sadaharu Aoki Paris captivates with its elegant ambience and an array of exquisite pastries. The attention to detail in every pastry is extraordinary. From the delicate flavors to the artistic presentation, each bite feels like a journey to the heart of Parisian patisserie excellence. Whether you're a connoisseur or just looking for a sweet escape, this place is a sensory delight. Unparalleled elegance and flavors that linger on your palate!

We come here every visit for chocolates and desserts. The staff is always friendly and helpful. The desserts are always just amazing. We love everything matcha.

Best Chou à la crème I’ve ever tasted. Not exaggerating at all. We bought macaron and tarte de citron too. It was really really good. Sure the price is higher than others but it’s worth every penny. Staff was friendly too. Store was quite small but they have good selection of some famous kind of French dessert such Paris Brest, éclair, millefeuille etc. Would definitely coming back and try others

An Asian twist to the French dessert. You can find flavors like green tea, black sesame, wasabi, and more.

The sales is wrong. Their Japanese style is as sweet as French cake, if not sweeter. And note that matcha is very bitter. So if it already tastes overwhelmingly sweet, then this cake must contain an enormous amount of sugar.

I tried a red bean matcha, a lemon praline, and a matcha almond croissant. All were super good. Wanna go back and try them all!

Great simplistic designed dessert shop. Very nice range of desserts. Bought the macaron box of 16 for €27.20 which is very well worth it. Plus received a free dark chocolate macaron gift for purchasing. Would go again, merci beaucoup. :)

Through a charming courtyard that’s is straight out of sleeping beauty (according to my 4 year old) you find this tea room which is totally charming. The surprise plate was so yummy and the teas (mine was 8€) are really lovely. The service is lovely and with a smile and they even gave us paper and markers when we asked for my daughter. So nice! Such a nice experience. Thank you!

Very cute place, the staff is very nice and seating area cute with their porcelain collections too! Teas and desserts excellent. Above average prices for the desserts.

I loved the cream and strawberry tarte and the staff is really kind!

Beautiful salon de thé with lovely setting and friendly staff. Had the Paris le splendour which taste amazing with pistachio plus strawberry with a crunchy base. The cold tea is also nice. There is a lovely garden outside. Great place to spend an afternoon.

Came here for post lunch dessert; an essential part of any meal. Lovely staff and beautiful, delicious desserts. Really appreciate the seasonal ingredients used in this “Rosa”. Ordered it based on staff recommendations and have no regrets. Also had a rich and flawless chocolat chaud. You have a choice of sitting outside on a breezy terrace or inside where the decor is lovely. Would recommend stopping here if you’re in the area!

Great service, efficient communication, friendly staff and magical space. We were provided excellent customer service. All responses were prompt and professional. The food was very good and tasty. Coffee was normal. The prices are expensive. 12€ for a lemon cake while you can take it as take away for 4€… find this a bit absurde. But the atmosphere is incredible and the staff very lovely.

Fell in love with this magical place. The atmosphere is so pleasant and cosy. The food was truly tasty, generous.. (maybe a bit lukewarm) The gnocchis and the lamb are delicous! The staff is attentive and professionnal Loved the experience and will surely come back.

The place was packed, but the line moved quickly and honestly, it’s totally worth the wait. The croissant here might be the best I’ve ever had. Super flakey and crunchy on the outside, but soft and buttery inside, like a warm pillow that melts in your mouth. The baguette with salami and pickles was simple but perfect… super crunchy crust, soft center, and that deep, toasty flavor you only get from real French bread. I kinda didn’t expect something that plain to taste that good. The staff were nice, patient, and even switched to English without me asking, which helped a lot. The place was lively and the line was fun and kind of chaotic in the best way.

Came to try their award winning croissant 🥐 is it life changing? Short answer: nope. Only really had croissants in USA or Asia and haven’t ever been overly impressed so would this change things? 🤔 The staff helped me despite not knowing any French. They are super quick cuz they know people are here for one thing. The croissant is really good. Maybe best I’ve had but not next level that I had hoped. What really boosts it is the price. Def recommend ✌️

La Maison d’Isabelle is one of those rare Parisian boulangeries that makes you stop in your tracks — the buttery aroma alone is enough to pull you in. Their apple turnover is a true work of art: golden, impossibly crisp layers that give way to a tender, fragrant apple filling that’s perfectly balanced — never too sweet, just beautifully comforting. It’s the kind of pastry that makes you close your eyes on the first bite. And the croissant? Quite possibly one of the best in Paris — flaky perfection with a light, honeycombed interior and a deep, satisfying buttery flavour that lingers. You taste the craftsmanship in every fold. If there’s one pastry that didn’t quite steal my heart, it’s the raisin swirl — a touch too dense and sweet for my liking, especially compared to their exceptional standards. But that’s just a small note in an otherwise flawless symphony of viennoiserie. La Maison d’Isabelle remains a must-stop for pastry lovers — a bakery that celebrates tradition, mastery, and pure indulgence in every bite. 🥐🍏✨

Best croissant i’ve ever tasted!!! It definitely worth the wait (not very long tho). It was crispy from the outside and soft on the inside. I’ve tried 2 other artisan croissants in Paris (even the winner of 2023) but this one… is still the best for me. Kinda gonna miss it while being back to eating croissants in netherland :”) No place to sit so i ate this after a little walk to Notre Dame

I tried the plain croissant and the lemon tart — and both completely lived up to the hype. 🥐 The croissant was one of the best I’ve ever had. The outside is perfectly crisp and flaky, with layers that shatter delicately at the first bite. Inside, it’s soft, airy, and buttery without being greasy. It’s the kind of pastry that makes you pause mid-bite just to appreciate how good a simple croissant can be. 🍋 The lemon tart was refreshing and balanced — tangy but not too sharp, smooth but not overly sweet. The lemon curd had a silky texture and the crust was crisp and buttery, providing the perfect contrast. It’s light yet satisfying — perfect for a sunny Paris afternoon. The prices are incredibly reasonable given the quality. Totally worth it.

The croissant is to die for.. not sure how will I go back and eat the other croissants now that the standard bar has gone up so high because of this place. The croissant is super delicious, flaky, crispy just right and a yummy flavor of butter. A must visit if you are in Paris, you can thank me later ☺️☺️❤️❤️ I have also tried the Toscan which was yummy too.

The croissant tasted like a toasted costco croissant. I am not an expert on croissants but I kinda expected a little more. The apple turnover didnt have enough apple in it, it was also too dry for my taste. The place looked good, there was an open market in front the day we went. We waited in a line for about 5mins. The women behind the counter had little patience for us trying to make a decision having just entered the line of sight of the sweets. We were expected to know what we wanted before we even saw everything so maybe try step into the store to look before you join the line.

I know Pralus chocolate for a while now, but I've never tried the macaroons and oioioi what a gem they are 😍 Favorite flavors - praline and passion, absolutely delicious. Another must try is their brioche, impossible to describe how good and tasty it is, just head there and buy it! Looks, tastes and smells amazing 😋 Waiting for my next trip to Paris!

If you have never tasted the Praluline you absolutely must try it before you can say you have lived a full life. Had first one in Lyon and was thrilled to find this in Paris. Nothing compares to it. Beautiful dough amply studded with candied bits of nut throughout. Nothing compares to it.

Omg! Ran into this place by chance while touristing in Lyon! The line and the smell made me curioua! I had to try it. What are the chances that it was actually good? Took it home, warmed it up a bit and it was heaven’ So different and sweet and the pastry so different from what I expectedn this is a must try! They were out of the chocolate ones, if not I wouldve tried that too.

DO NOT ORDER FROM HERE , THEY HAVE TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE. I CALLED ABOUT MY PACKAGE NOT BEING RECEIVED AND THEY YELLED AT ME AND HUNG THE PHONE UP MULTIPLE TIMES. STAY FAR AWAY!!!

Really bad place, 0% respectful to clients. They don t know how to deal with big groups and blamed us for having few custodiar. Very bad experience

We had delicious Macaroon there. Staff was friendly, and the products were offered in a cute little box suitable for a gift. Prices were a little on the costly side.

Got these Pralulines (brioche with candied almonds) which were highly recommended. Even the petite one was huge. Soft and buttery, but too sweet to our liking.

I heard a lot about this place of their chocolate mousse on the internet, So I decided to come and try for the first time and it was really delicious and the blond seller who serve me was really patient and she know everything about chocolate even if I am a chef in the industry. I also tried their other offers and a seller with brown hair helped me a lot after because I want to discover more about it and she was really cool and kind. The price is fair for the quality they are offering. And I finished the experience with a nice gentleman at the cashier. A great experience overall from beginning to end.

They have 5 different flavors with different % of cacao and intensities. They let you sample all the mousse. The texture was creamy and the taste was high quality and delicious! It’s 7 euros for a small cone

Had the most palatable chocolate mousse of the few. (It was the one that looked most empty cos it was probably the most popular). Rather good. Despite not really liking chocolate, i found it to be pretty good. Not something i would travel out of my way for again, but pretty alright. Wasnt too heavy or bitter. Decent place.

so blown away by the chocolates here. we had 2 chocolate mousses and we also bought a couple of chocolate bars. don’t think so much - just get it! I regret not buying more. I shared the chocolates with my colleagues and they all said it’s the best chocolate they’ve had (and we eat a lot of good chocolates). the tablette noir nicaragua o’payo tasted amazing (great balance of bitterness with fruity acidity)

CHAPON CHOCOLATE MOUSSE BAR, PARIS 🍫🇫🇷👌🏼 Paris is full of sweet temptations, but few are as iconic as the famous chocolate mousse from Chocolaterie Chapon in St. Germain. Saying it was heavenly is an understatement. The creamy, rich, delicious chocolate mousse is extraordinary! 🤌🏼🤌🏼🤌🏼 Known for its velvety texture and rich, intense flavor, it’s the kind of dessert that has earned a cult following among locals and travelers alike. Each spoonful feels like a celebration of French craftsmanship in chocolate, smooth yet powerful, and absolutely indulgent. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 Best decision of the day! The mousse was everything I hoped for—light yet decadent, perfectly balanced, and truly unforgettable. Sometimes the best Paris moments come when you least expect them, and this was definitely one of them! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

My sister saw this spot on Instagram and so we came here for an afternoon sweet treat. They gave us samples of chocolate while waiting in line and we had the choice or milk or dark chocolate. There were two different mousse options (milk or dark) and there’s a separate line inside or purchasing chocolates vs purchasing just mousse. The line is long but orderly thanks to the employees. Credit cards are accepted. Even though I’m usually a dark chocolate girly, I’d recommend the milk chocolate mousse. I’d also recommend splitting one between two people.

Very dense and rich chocolate mousse and very good also. Couldnt finish on my own even with small cone so defo ok to share. Love it!

Arrived in Paris late in the afternoon and grabbed some sandwiches and a salad from this local Boulangerie based on a recommendation. Not a lot to pick from since it was the end of the day. We also didn't know to ask to heat up the sandwiches which probably would have made it much better but the sandwiches were still pretty good.

I enjoyed the critron tart, lightly sour and refreshing when accompanied with croissant. Croissant was decent but not life changing. Felt a little rushed to order because it was our first time visiting. Good range of choices, most of the items we had were decent. Would recommend as a quick grab and go

I had croissant for 1.8£. It was tasty, crisp and flaky. Nice ! But not so buttery. Service was fast.

tout autour du pan,134 Rue de Turenne, 75003 Paris, France i went for walk in the square du temple elie-wiesel early one morning as the girls were asleep and past this pâtisserie by happenstance on the way back to the apartment on a roundabout way to get to walk around Picasso museum along the Rue de Thorigny, this pâtisserie had steady flow of of costumers in and out yet only one person ahead of me, the attendant spoke English and was very kind. I purchased one croissant and two chocolate croissants and ate half a chocolate one on the way to the museum, you know that feeling as an adult when you taste something new for that first time.? your eyes close and you hold that taste in your mouth as long as you can, this was one of those times, I stopped walking, thinking, hearing, listening, maybe even breathing as the flavors filled my mouth and slowly melted in one. I don't think I chewed that first crispy buttery chocolate bite, I just let it melt, now I've eaten plenty of croissants in my life, none like this, never again like that!! i went back again a few days later on the morning of our last full day ,as i made breakfast for the girls and I

Great cookie. Good ratio of chocolate and walnuts. Great balance between crispy and gooey on the inside. I’m more of a flat and crunchy cookie, but this was a good one.

Buy here everyday Pain de campaign and baguettes cause it’s outstanding quality. Freshly baked Croissaints and Pain aux chocolot is a dream. Apple pie or chausson aux pommes is must. Pain aux épices is also simple and super delicious.

You absolutely have to try the excellent almond and chocolate croissant. If you’re looking for that true Parisian flavor — something that will completely delight you and is unlike anything else — then you simply have to come here. We will definitely and absolutely be coming back.

Omg. We ran into this place by pure accident after lunch. We were stuffed from lunch, we even had dessert, but we had a third stomach to wolf down the treats from this place. What a gem with great chocolate chip brioche and meringue fluffy bite sized dessert. We are still dreaming of this and will go back tomorrow for breakfast to eat on the street. I will post more pictures tomorrow. We devoured the food before taking pictures.

Visited this place twice during my stay in Paris. I tried the meringue chocolate and it was the perfect dessert, totally enjoyable. Second time tried the chocolate bread which they call "Cranique" I think or something close and this is a great pastry with moist tasty chocolates. They have also with raisins. It's very big though and can be easily shared between two persons. They have multiple branches across Paris, so check which is within your itinerary and go for it.

A truly great bakery experience! One of the highlights is being able to watch the team prepare the fresh brioches right in front of you — it adds a special touch to the visit. Whatever you do, don’t miss the large sugar brioche while it’s still warm — it’s an absolute WOW. Soft, slightly crisp on the outside, and perfectly sweet. Pure heaven. A must-visit spot for pastry lovers in Paris!

We were walking past and smelled the amazing brioche being baked. We had never tried a merveilleux before so we got their classic chocolate flavor. It was delicious! They are so pretty and taste wonderful. The staff was also nice and helpful to us. Definitely recommend!

Must-have meringue desserts! They are light, airy and flavorful! It was a unique dessert that is perfectly and expertly executed. Beautiful shop with a helpful staff.

During our recent travels in Europe, we passed by countless bakeries—but none had an aroma quite like this one. The irresistible smell just pulled us in. We decided to share a raisin brioche, and after the first bite, there was no turning back! It would have been perfect with a cup of coffee, but I couldn’t wait—I started eating it the moment we stepped outside!

I stumbled upon this charming bakery on my way to do some shopping in the Le Marais area, and I couldn’t resist stepping inside. Everything is made fresh in-store—the brioche buns and pastries looked absolutely irresistible. I tried one, and oh my goodness, it was delicious! The staff were friendly and helpful, and the store’s chic design added to the overall experience. I loved everything about it and will definitely visit again the next time I’m in Paris.

Tiny little bakery with nicely presented variety of East Mediterranean treats. The gentleman that helped us was very patient and polite. We got a salted butter caramel vanilla and lemon cardamom pastry nest and pistachio chocolate tart. We got them to go. The tart came in a cute little box. The nests were crunchy and soft- a little messy to eat but tasty. We loved the pistachio chocolate tart. Was a nice treat for our first patisserie experience in Paris.

You must try the Orange Blossom Nest (with Strawberry, in season) if you stop by. This is an experience you will share with your grandkids someday. The orange was light, without the citrus after taste, while the accent of strawberry elevated this treat to a higher, heavenly level. The nest aspect brought a subtle crunch to this culinary marvel. This should be a must stop while in Paris.

Amazing pastry, only speaking for the rhubarb tarte that I tried but it was mind blowing. So good from the super crispy layered base from I guess phyllo to the rhubarb compote, pistachio, cream and rhubarb jelly, super well balanced composition and not too sweet. The florentine was a bit dense and thick overall but definitely high quality. They sell drinks but it's not an eat in space. Service is very quick to explain everything in English.

Very good kadaif with orange blossom flavor. I liked the pistachio and caramel the most

Nice Libanese dessert. A bit French fusion. All their desserts look chic! With a touch of orange flower or rose water it’s very refreshing.

Worth it in every bite for Strawberry Pistacchio Tart which it is their Award Winner. The texture and flavor is amazing. The small one, personally I like the vanilla caramel one. The texture is so crispy and caramel flavor is so good. The staff is really nice. This place is the must- visit for pastry lover.

I love this place! We stopped at Maison Aleph a few years ago on a food tour, and we've gone back every time we're in Paris. William, the guy who works there, is always friendly and helpful. I bought a box of nids voyages, little crispy baskets with scrumptious paste inside, in different flavors. My favorites are the orange and the pistachio. William asked if we were taking them home for traveling. He went above and beyond by wrapping the box in bubble wrap. Can't wait to rip the box open when we get home. Give this place a try! Paris has a lot of delicious treats, but Maison Aleph is a must try!!

Lovely shop with a wide selection of patisseries and breads. I tried the citron meringue tart, which unfortunately wasn’t to my liking, as the flavour was too bitter as if too much pith was in the mix.

Open relatively early (le Marais sleeps late). Croissants are competent and a reasonable price… a bit too soft and not flakey enough.

Really cool corner boulangerie near our hotel in Paris. Pastries were out of sight, the quiche Lorraine was fantastic and the baguette allowed us to graze all day during our travels to Alsace. Service was very friendly, patient and helpful as we agonized over what to buy :)

Had my first croissant in Paris here, and it did not disappoint. Fresh, flaky, buttery!

You cannot find a better bakery than here at a very reasonable price. The selections are noteworthy and you can pick up sandwiches, fresh salads or quiche and find a picnic spot anywhere you choose.

No tables; small counter space; mostly take out. Great, helpful staff, and awesome croissants! Out go to Boulangerie during our 5 week stay!

Focaccia was very nice, heated up. Coffee good. And the eclair was just dreamy!

An enjoyable experience but didn’t like the pistachio escargot and the croissant was chocolate croissant was mid

You have to go here! My husband and I just got back from our three days in Paris and we went here for all three days. Even brought some croissants home with us. They’re so welcoming and friendly. The pastries are ridiculous, you have to try their almond croissants…like a dream! Grab a cafe au lait and a delicious pastry, sit outside and people watch. We miss it already!

The Kouign-amanns were some of the best pastries I have ever eaten - so beautifully crispy and full of buttery goodness. The selection is so impressive it's almost overwhelming. Very good value for money, too.

If you speak English, be prepared to get the old croissants. I was in line and saw the person in front of me — a French man — receive a croissant from the top of the shelf. When it was my turn, they gave me one from the bottom shelf. The person after me, also French, again got one from the top. This is completely unacceptable. If they claim the one I received is just as fresh, then the croissants must be of poor quality in general. Please treat all your customers with the same respect, even if they don’t speak French.

Fantastic range of breads and other baked goods, including some huge loaves of rustic bread loaves. In fact many items seemed huge - like the pain au chocolate, although €8 was a big price too Also sell coffee, seats outside too

Friendly staff. Pain au chocolat aux amandes were great. Long line fast line at 9.30am on sunday. We took a cafe and sat outside. The pressure of the long line watching you make it awkward so we didnt stay long.

The best customer service experience I have had in all of France. I left feeling so happy and welcome, even without speaking French. The bakery is so beautiful and the food incredible. This is the bakery to go to in Paris 😍

✨ A must-visit in Paris if you’re a dessert lover! In December, the price was €17 per dessert — quite high, but totally worth it for the experience and quality. I tried the pistachio one, and it was absolutely incredible — rich, creamy, and full of flavor, truly a bomb! The presentation is stunning, like a piece of art, and it feels special to enjoy it right in the heart of Paris. Be ready for a line, but once you taste it, you’ll understand why people wait.

I visited Cédric Grolet as a true cake and cookie lover, fully aware that the prices would be a higher than usual. Honestly, I didn’t mind spending the extra money—it was absolutely worth it. The pastries and cookies were exceptionally delicious, crafted with great attention to detail. We also ordered two drinks and had plenty of time to enjoy everything in a relaxed and elegant atmosphere. Yes, it’s more expensive than your average bakery, but this isn’t your average bakery. If you're not willing to pay a little more for high-quality treats and a special experience, then maybe this place isn’t for you. Personally, I loved every bite.

Absolutely delicious, top-quality desserts. The chocolate-vanilla tart and the vanilla pod completely stole my heart - it was incredible. I’ve tried many desserts in my life, and for me it’s never just about “eating something sweet,” but about appreciating it as a work of art. And these desserts are among the best I’ve ever had. This place is definitely worth visiting, if only to get a closer look at the legend. Unfortunately, the tart wasn’t placed well in the box and got deformed, but that didn’t affect the taste. The pastries were outstanding - those layers and the incredible buttery flavor were simply the best I’ve ever tried. Without exaggeration, it was the best croissant of my life.

A Must-Try Parisian Breakfast at Cédric Grolet If you're in Paris and love pastry, a visit to Cédric Grolet is an absolute must. We made a reservation in advance for the fixed breakfast menu (€50 per person), which includes both savory and sweet options, along with the now-iconic croissants that have taken over Instagram. The quality of the products is truly exceptional. The croissants were without a doubt some of the best in Paris — perfectly flaky, buttery, and beautifully presented. Alongside the pastries, the menu offered delicious savory dishes as well, all crafted with the same level of precision and care. The location itself is stunning and elegant, making the experience feel extra special — like a mix between a high-end boutique and a modern pâtisserie. The service was fine — not particularly memorable, but efficient enough — though the real star here is the food. There were also other pastries and creations available for purchase at the counter, each a piece of edible art. Whether you're a foodie, a pastry lover, or just curious about one of the world’s most famous pâtissiers, Cédric Grolet is a unique and worthwhile experience in Paris.

Alright… the place is nice, the service is amazing, there is a guy explaining you everything so 10/10 the experience you will have. Of course there is a line of 1-2 hours and then is when you start doubting if it is worth it or not. I wait 1 hour and I was one of the 20 first ones (I arrived 8:40 AM, so 20 minutes before they open) Flavor: nice, I will not say great because the price is pretty high so you are expecting a new whole different flavor but it is not But since everything is a whole thing I give 5 starts, congrats for the experience and presentation.

Hands down impressive bakery, there's a queue be warned, but its organized with ropes, and they let you enter 1 or 2 parties at a time which is really nice so you could feast your eyes on everything. I would suggest show up 9am first thing. We ordered the croissant and pain au chocolate, very overwhelmed and NEED to go back. The quartier is very chic, I wasn't surprised to see all the versace, loro piana loafers and balenciaga city bag while waiting! I loved the whole experience!

Cédric Grolet Opéra feels like stepping into a pastry museum where everything’s alive and edible. The space is sleek, minimalist, almost gallery-like — white marble, perfect lighting, and those jaw-dropping fruit desserts lined up like jewels. I tried the lemon — looks exactly like the real fruit, but the first bite is insane: thin chocolate shell, bright citrus mousse, layers of texture that actually make you stop talking for a second. Everything here is precise, delicate, and borderline too pretty to eat. It’s not cheap, and the line moves slow because people are filming everything, but honestly, worth it once.

Not worth the hype and the queue. We waited days in mind to try these delicious looking desserts and waited for 40 minutes in actual queue only to be disappointed. It is a piece of art in terms of presentation but tasted really bad. The mango was too sour and no sweet taste to complement it. The pistachio was the worst of all. It was just not sweet at all and tasted super bland and salty. We end up wasting it away. 18 euros for it? More like 2 euros only. The raspberry vanilla dessert ended up being decent and we liked it, though it can be improved further. Overall, chef really needs to take these feedback and make it worth the hype and money. Totally not worth my 98 euros.

I took Fig, Pistacchio and Blueberry. Also before I was in the cafe and took Vanilla. Each 18€ Incredibly tasty and well made. But don’t expect them to be sweet. They are not. The are fresh fruits with very little sugar if it’s even there. It’s really unique not to feel jam but actually like a fresh fruit pure. Very light deserts, pistacchio was the only that was slightly heavy. My favorite was blueberry and vanilla ( that I took from the caffe in the morning

Tried four of the famous trompe-l’œil pastries: Pot de Pop Corn, Mangue, Pomme Verte, and Pot de Chouchou. The Pot de Pop Corn was my clear favorite, its depth of flavor was unmatched, perfectly balanced with a subtle salty sweetness. The Mangue, though beautifully presented and hyped online, wasn’t my top pick but was still very good. The Pomme Verte was excellent, tasting remarkably like a real apple with an impressive texture, and the Pot de Chouchou offered a more straightforward flavor profile but was enjoyable nonetheless. We waited about an hour in line on a Saturday afternoon, but the staff were exceptionally friendly, professional, and organized, making the experience pleasant. At €86 for four pastries, it’s definitely a splurge, but everything was crafted to perfection, and you truly get what you pay for. A must-try for pastry enthusiasts seeking an elevated, one-of-a-kind experience.

I have visited on Wednesday and around 12:05 I have joined the queue. The queue moved relatively quick and within 30 minutes I got in. Mind, this location is open only Wednesday to Sunday and only 12-6 or 7 PM. All items were available and I have purchased 3 creations: pistachio, apple and mango. Do bear in mind that these creations have to be consumed within 1 hour. In summer definitely quicker and you have to carry it carefully as they are fragile. There isn’t any seating area but there is a park nearby. They do offer napkins, spoons for your take away. Is take away only with click and collect available but you must reserve few days ahead. Separate queue for click and collect. The pistachio wasn’t my favourite. The amount of sea salt was overpowering and didn’t let actual pistachio speak for itself. Mango was delicate but absolutely refreshing and worth every penny. The apple has little dill inside but I actually liked it so it gave softness to actual green apple sourness. Don’t expect red apple flavour when is actually Granny Smith type. Each priced at €18. Do mind these aren’t cakes. They do sell cakes like fruits and cost around €35.

I really wanted to try these desserts, as they were so hyped up online. We waited in line about 10 minutes, actually not bad and time went by fast. I appreciate the fact that you’re the only customer in the store, so the line is worth it. The presentation and experience is amazing. We bought the blueberry (18€) pistachio (18€) and popcorn (25€) The pistachio I would say is interesting - NOT SWEET, which I was not expecting. The texture is interesting, a little bir salty, you can really feel the pistachio taste. The blueberry is good, not amazing, not sweet again. You can feel bits of actual blueberry inside. The popcorn was by far the best and most interesting of all. This dessert was sweet, with caramel and actual popcorn inside. We shared 3 desserts to 2 people which was way to much, I would just choose 2, as they were quite big. It’s an interesting experience, over-hyped, good but would not try again.

The pastries are truly exceptional and incredibly delicious. The trompe l’œil, which are desserts designed to resemble fruit, offered a perfect harmony of fruity flavours without being overly sweet. The only downside might be the relatively high price, but it is certainly worth experiencing at least once.

Queue for about 30mins to try out the delicate desserts. Personally I think the desserts look pretty but were abit too sweet for and expensive. However they were worth trying after all as we can feel the chef has indeed put alot of effort in the creation of the beautiful dessert.

This is a world-famous macaron shop, one of the true icons of French pastry. It’s not just a boutique for sweets — there’s also a restaurant inside, where you can sit down and enjoy elegant dishes along with the signature desserts. The place is very touristy, and it’s common to see long lines and many visitors. Even so, the staff at the entrance are extremely friendly and welcoming, setting a pleasant tone for the experience. The macarons are outstanding — delicate, aromatic, and perfectly balanced in sweetness — living up to their global reputation. A must-visit spot for anyone who loves fine pastries and wants to taste the authentic flavor of Parisian sophistication.

Tried the famous hot chocolate with whipped cream. Not as special as I expected but still delicious, it’s chocolate after all. Friendly staff and with 11€ for the hot chocolate definitely not cheap and a little exaggerated but still better than what other cafes charge for it. (The cute interior is an extra plus)

The Ladurée at 16 Rue Royale is where Louis‑Ernest Ladurée opened his bakery in 1862, later transforming it into the brand's first tea room—making it indeed the first Ladurée outlet. If you're in Paris and craving something sweet, this place is a must-visit. Simply walk in for rows of perfect little pastries and macarons. You can choose your own flavors or ask the staff to surprise you with a random selection. They have boxes of 6 (and more), cost around 20 euro, which is a great size if you want to try a few different ones. However, please take note that it is best to keep the macaroons in the fridge (else, you may make a purchase at the airport). Overall, Ladurée lives up to the hype. It’s fancy, a bit pricey, and yes, touristy, but the quality, flavors, and experience make it totally worth it.

A lovely experience that i recommend to everyone who visits Paris. I tried their special blend of tea, and a mix of 6 macarons(definitely go for more than one). The Marie Antoinette and passion fruit flavors were my favorite. The ambiance is so wonderful I didn't want to leave :)

Do you remember that, a few days ago, I was talking about what to bring when you're invited❓ That day I had brought a fruit tart. For another diner at my aunt's we chose to buy dessert from Ladurée. We could have bought macarons but we chose to buy "individual" Napoleons to share. Why? Well, Napoleon has been my favorite cake forever and I know that my aunt is not a big fan of Ladurée's macarons. And TBH, neither am I. Actually, I'm not a fan of macarons in general. I find them expensive, which can be justified by how difficult it is to bake them, small and not super tasty, yet very sweet. 🫤 I'm pretty sure everybody knows what Napoleon is but for those who don't, a Napoleon, or Mille-feuille, is made of 3 layers of pâte feuilletée (puff pastry) and 2 layers of pastry cream, usually covered by a layer of sugar, often icing with a marble effect. 😋 There are all kinds of Napoleons and Napoleon almost always is ok but sometimes it's great. It's just hard to find the great ones. Now when you find a great one, that's just amazing, spectacular, stunning. And when it's great, it doesn't need any icing on the top. And I must say Ladurée's Napoleon was a great one. Not the best one I've had but definitely a great one. 👏 Of course, that was not cheap. I don't remember the exact price but I'd say €10 piece (❗) But every once in a while... 😇 Icing was not necessary in that case, of course, but... I told you before that Napoleon already was my fav when I was a kid. And you know which part I liked the most: the icing. So I kinda missed icing on this one, as I miss it every time it's not there... 😅 Don't worry we still tried the macarons when we picked up the cakes at the shop. And we also tried their Eugenie cookies (which was kinda new at the time). Honestly, not worth spending more than €3 for a very small cookie that tasted pretty random. 👎 . . . Quality & taste: 7/10 Quantities: 7/10 Atmosphere: n/a Originality: 7/10 Ratio price / quality: 7/10 Service: n/a How I felt afterwards: 7/10

Historic place but definitely overpriced. Desserts, except macarons, cost €15, and the selection was quite limited, though you can try different flavors of their signature macarons. We ordered a pot of tea (€11) and asked the waiter if it would be enough for two; he said, “No, it’s for one person,” so we also ordered fresh juice for €8. In reality, the pot was enough for at least three cups, and we had to ask twice just to get an extra cup. I found my dessert too sweet and it failed to leave a lasting impression. It was served from the display, and I didn’t feel it had been freshly made. The interior, however, is charming and really takes you back to past centuries.

A dream location. Whenever I come to Paris, I stop by for breakfast or afternoon tea, or just to buy my favourite macarons. I recommend it to everyone.

The apple turnover was decent, but the amount of apples are not like the ones in the publicity photo shown on their website. But with the caramelised sugar on the pastry, it's one of the better apple turnovers in the city. 7/10 I also tried the kouglof. My first time to try this specialty from Alsace, so I'm not sure if it's authentic or not There's not much taste in it, no taste of alcohol in the almonds. But the brioche was properly risen. If that's how kouglof is supposed to taste like, then I don't think I'd try one again in the future. 3/10

The small, black spots on the glasses are the flies 🪰 and the staff even didn’t wear gloves when take the pastries?! The flavor is still the same as before, but the amount is like half way smaller than before. If the strategy is just to open new shops but not keep the high quality for the pastry, I won’t recommend anymore.

The Pistache Lover was delicious! Very creamy and smooth, not too sweet and with lots of pistachio flavour. Prices are comparable with other bakeries in the area. The service is what dropped my review from 5 to 4 star - while not at all rude the staff were also not very friendly. It took quite a while for someone to even acknowledge me.

If you want to enjoy one of the best desserts in Paris, this is your place. Don't fall for TikTok scams like Cedric and others. Everything is great, just order.

I had a very unpleasant experience here. The person at the counter was extremely rude and unhelpful. Despite the sign at the entrance saying there is free Wi-Fi, they refused to give us the password and treated us disrespectfully when we asked. On top of that, they don’t understand English well, so when I asked for oat milk, they brought me hot milk instead, and when I tried to explain the misunderstanding, they got angry and treated me badly. Very disappointing service. I would not recommend this place to anyone looking for a welcoming atmosphere or basic courtesy.

We came here for a family macaron class via TripAdvisor. The teaching kitchen is a closet. We could only fit 2 families of 4 if we stood uncomfortably close (and without room to move). There is a sink to wash your hands, but no toilet. Also, it was the fastest class ever! Only an hour instead of the scheduled two. We did come away with a box full of macaron, tho!

Got the tarte citron vert et noix de coco and the merveille. Both are excellent but man, that merveille is just out of this world!
