    Notre Dame Apple across from Notre Dame
    Jim A.

    The visuals are amazing and surpassed by the flavors of these unique desserts. After visiting Notre Dame we crossed the Seine to A. Lacroix where I had to have the famous Notre Dame Apple , also a Madagascar and a Hot Chocolate. Truly a great experience, sitting there in the shadow of the restored Notre Dame in this little shop noshing on these delicious treats. The service was very good. It was on our list of must dos and we weren't disappointed.

    A must visit while in Paris!!! The store is owned by a husband and wife duo producing delicious fruit-centric pastries. These are all to die for and it's nestled just a quick walk from Notre Dame. Service is pretty fast, but there might be a small wait due to how popular the store is. While we were there we saw people constantly coming in the store to admire and consume all of the beautifully arranged desserts. My main goal after seeing the photos online was to buy the Notre Dame(apple sponge cake with fresh apples inside.) If I had more time in Paris, I would definitely try and make a stop here again.

    Great patisserie with a wide selection of desserts, baked items, and coffees. We had the peche and pistache framboise with a latte and sat at a table out front with an amazing view of the Notre Dame. Both desserts were incredible! Slightly pricey at ~€7 per dessert but totally worth it based on the amount of work that goes into creating these works of art!

    The mousse was so light and delicious! Didn't have an artificial fruit taste at all. The almond croissant was caramelized on the bottom, it was perfection

    Latte

    A. Lacroix is a mandatory stop either before visiting Notre Dame or afterwards. The deserts are presented in a way that are so appealing to the eye, you almost don't want to cut into it. Of course, get the Notre Dame apple, which is their most infamous desert. It was truly bursting with green apple flavor!! We also tried the Citron Frambois (Raspberry) and that was so beautifully created. Have a hot latte and get a seat facing toward the River Siene (pronounced Senn) and just enjoy the masterpiece of a Pâtisserie on your plate as well as the cathedral in front of you. A. Lacroix's creations are the apple of Paris' eye. :)

    This was such a cute patisserie! I walked in and there was no line but they were out of a lot of desserts. I was still able to get a lemon pastry which was cheaper liked a cut lemon (too cute) and a Parisian hot chocolate. The hot chocolate was basically a glass of warm milk with a wooden stick inside. The stick had a ball of chocolate on it which melts as you stir in the glass of warm milk. What an interesting way to have hot chocolate! It was delicious although I would have liked more chocolate in it since the hot chocolate was more on the milkier side. The pastry was decent but at times way too tart and lemony. The base in the bottom was crumbly and delicious though. The ambience was a bit dated and they definitely need to pay attention to cleaning the tables, but overall, I would be back to try their other pastry options.

    BEST ALMOND CROISSANTS HANDS DOWN! we also LOVED the plain croissants and the hot chocolate. The apple pastry wasn't our thing but we will def come back here to try the rest of the amazing items they have ! I wish i woulda bought a box of almond croissants on our last day to take with us back home but next time, that is the plan! Service is phenomenal.. friendly and helpful staff!

    Yum!

    This has it all! Cozy atmosphere with stone walls and exposed beams, beautiful pastries (we were like this is the final Bake Off signature pastries!), fair prices, and good coffee and hot chocolate. Our group of five liked it so much, we returned the next day, so I feel confident in saying that you will have a hard time deciding, but no worries---everything is excellent! It is run by a Franco-American couple, with the American running front of the house, so you can speak English or French comfortably.

    Apple cake
    Cassie P.

    Wow! Went for the apple cake and was given so many delightful choices. The chocolate almond croissant was the best croissant of my visit- and trust me, I tried a bunch! Brought the peach and the apple cakes back to the hotel for later. The peach was really great however it was raspberry flavored. Tried the apple the next day and it was good too! But the croissant and coffee was perfection! Service was ok, they were busy but it was fine. Shop was small but cute. We grabbed a table outside and watched the people walking along the river- loved that.

    Stopped by this spot for a little coffee pick me up and this coffee shop is in the perfect spot to look at Notre Dame through the trees. Everyone their was really nice and especially the owner who was welcoming. I decided to get a caramel latte and a strawberry macaron which was super yummy and perfect for the chilly weather outside. Would def come here again!

    Unique desserts that look so cute! There's a lot of options and it was so hard to choose just a few. We tried the Citron Vert Coco, Norte Dame, and Citron Framboise. Each one had filling inside and the fruit flavors were strong.

    Stumbled upon this shop after taking a pastry class and was starving - what a great find! Their croissants were delicious - so buttery and flaky. Their patisseries were both impressive in their design and flavor. My favorites were the citron framboise and the creme brulee.

    Enjoyed this bakery! Very unique and creative bakery treats with beautiful presentation. Seating available indoors and outdoors. I'd have to say I enjoyed this spot more for the vibes than the actual taste of the fooe. I got the pain au chocolat, tartine vegetarienne, and hot chocolate. The pain au chocolat and tartine vegeterienne were both pretty standard. Wasn't a huge fan of the hot chocolate. I would've preferred it hotter with a richer, darker chocolate taste. Servers were very friendly.

    The macaroons and tea here were amazing, the service was a bit above average, and the ambiance was absolutely amazing! I would recommend.

    This little cafe had terrific service, cappuccinos and macrons. I would strongly suggest stopping by if you are close to the Notre Dame.

    Delicious pastry shop. The citrus tart is to die for. So glad we walked 3 miles ... as we need to burn off the butter. Burp!
