If you're down to wait in line, I promise it's worth it. This place is hyped on social media about their esthetic et their viral thick hot chocolate. But I personally think they have much more to praise for. This place is full of tourist and there is no specific language that you need to know to order, their staff was nice and helpful for those who did not speak either French or English. Pro-tip: order the hot food while seating and the pastry at the boutique for later (it's cheaper at the boutique compared to on the menu) Their food was great and the setting is great. Could feel busy at all the time but it's worth it and it's not that cramped. Hot chocolate 10/10 really thick and sweet (to me) Egg Benedict 9/10 it's good (could have been better but it's good for the place) French toast 6/10 Meh I mean it's French toast it's not something very extraordinary to expect Scrambled egg 9/10 it was creamy. read more

When asked to name a "must visit" place in Paris, without hesitation, I say 《Angelina Salon de Thé!》 We've been coming here for three decades for their iconic hot chocolate -- Chocolat Chaud d'Angelina (5/5 10,50 €), as we did this year again in April. There was a line at the door, but it moved fairly quickly. Once inside, you're in a beautiful Beaux-Arts salon. Service generally is very good. The Chocolat Chaud is superb. There are other savories and sweets on the menu here. This time we tried a Mont-Blanc (3/5). I know this is Angelina's signature pastry, but to me it couldn't compete with the Chocolat Chaud. read more

Angelina, Paris, France -- April 12 Our family of four with kids ages 9 and 10 stopped here for lunch after visiting the Louvre, drawn in by its reputation for having the best hot chocolate in the world. We were looking for a place to relax and refuel, and the experience felt a bit mixed overall. Arrival and First Impressions The space is elegant with classic Parisian charm. The line moved quickly, and we were seated with a great view of the dining room. It felt refined but still comfortable. The Highlights The famous hot chocolate lived up to expectations, thick, rich, and almost more like a dessert than a drink. We also had French onion soup and an éclair, both of which were very good. The pastries were clearly well made and thoughtfully prepared. The kids had chicken tenders, which they enjoyed, even though the tomato sauce was a bit different from what they expected. The Challenges The biggest drawback was the price. The meal felt expensive for what we ordered, coming in at €154 for a fairly simple lunch. Service felt slightly rushed as they moved tables along quickly. Final Thoughts We would likely return if we were nearby and specifically craving the hot chocolate again. It is a classic Paris stop and worth trying once, but the value may not justify going out of your way unless that signature experience is high on your list. read more

So Angelina's fine. For me, it's a bit hyped up. My sister, loved it. She even bought their prepackaged bottle of hot chocolate to take home. This hot chocolate is decadent. It really tastes like melted chocolate with a bit of milk mixed in to make it more drinkable. We went at a bit of an off time, late morning and it wasn't overly busy. We saw our server once and I couldn't recall who he was when it came time to get the bill. I asked a hostess walking by for our check and she told me to ask our server while walking away. We were able to flag another server down eventually but the whole process just took too long. The tables for four have chairs that don't quite tuck in causing for a bit awkward seating. If you like really thick hot chocolate, give it a try but otherwise ok to miss this one. Plenty of good hot chocolate throughout the city. read more

Angelina - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Paris, 75

Ah, the glory of Angelina! Two weeks ago, I revisited my favorite spot in Paris. Their drop dead gorgeous dining room, friendly service, picture perfect pastries, and, most of all, the classic and best ever hot chocolate. I can see why Jackie O came here back in the day. Everything is super luxurious and so comforting. The hot chocolate is the one thing you must get. They now call it their classic chocolate, but it's the one they used to call L'Africain back in the day when they actually offered a menu of various styles of hot chocolate. It's rich, thick and oh so super chocolatey. Nothing short of luxurious. At 9€, it's both a calorie and money splurge, but oh so worth it. Tip: I was happy to see that they now have a cart outside the tea room where one can purchase a cup of hot chocolate to go. And at 7€, it's 2€ less than inside the tea room. Fourth visit in 32 years, and there will be more! read more

I had the vol aux vents which was a puffed pastry with vegetables, chicken and a mushroom sauce. A very good rendition of this classic French dish. A 4.5 star dish. Very crowded with many different tourists but the food and service was very good. The puffed pastry was buttery and delicious. Would recommend. Very loud as the place was packed. read more

Angelina Paris has hands down, the best hot chocolate! I have to get it everything time I've been to Paris, and I've been 5 times! The tea room inside is nice but service can be pretty slow. The tea service is okay but I wouldn't get it again. The storefront also has pastries and desserts on display that are not too sweet and great for takeaway! If you want to try Angelina's, I'd opt to grab some hot chocolate from their cart right outside instead of sitting down in the dining room, especially since there's always a long line with a long wait time! read more

It's been a long time goal of mine to go to the original Angelina, where Coco Chanel was a regular! It didn't disappoint. I got the brunch set menu with eggs, the iconic hot coco, juice, and chocolate croissants and baguette with jam and butter. It was all divine. And the location? Short walk from the Louvre and just romantic and feminine interiors. It was classy. We were advised to go in line before opening. We arrived 5 till opening and there was already a short line. Once they opened the doors were were seated right away. The hot chocolate is like what I think is considered European sipping chocolate? This is not your Swiss Miss. It was rich and thick. They poured from a carafe and left the rest of it on the table so we could pour more later! And then a bowl of whipped cream. It was dreamy. Loved it. I wanna go back. read more

This place is way overrated. We went to the one across from Jardin tulieres. We were sat immediately upstairs in a dingy, musty, corner. We got the hot chocolate and iconic mont Blanc. They were just ok and my son got an eclair. Nothing was exceptional and if you have a choice or are torn, I would try the other choice. We just felt disappointed after this stop. Nothing was awful, but everything was medicore. read more

No wait on a Sunday morning around 8:45am. Some seats are a bit tight inside. Ordered the hot chocolate, crepe, and French toast. Hot chocolate is good, especially with the whipped cream. The crepe could have been better and was a bit too sweet. The French toast was toasted well and was soft yet slightly crispy on the edges. I would not really wait in line for this though, as it is just regular breakfast and hot chocolate. Perhaps if you really had time and were craving that sort of sweets. It is on the expensive side too. The indoor dining area is pretty nice, but doesn't quite justify the wait (along with the food). I'd say this is a try once type of restaurant. read more

Angelina was on my list to visit and knew it would be busy, there was a line to get in but was worth waiting for. The gorgeous display of each delectable dessert presented in each plate made my mouth water. We decided to also eat brunch and ordered my staple of eggs Benedict, the eggs paired well with the avocado and was perfect French breakfast to start the day. The chocolate crepes were amazing, light batter and not heavy. We tried both the hit and cold Famous French chocolate and really enjoyed the cold chocolate as it was a hot day. The interior of the restaurant was everything I imagined but was a bit crowded and loud. Definitely arrive earlier in morning, we were there mid morning. Purchased the French hot chocolate to make at home. We would love to dine again! read more

Worth it for the hot chocolate and the experience Angelina lived up to the hype on one thing: the hot chocolate. Easily in my top 3 in Paris; rich, velvety, and exactly what you want on a cold day. The atmosphere feels like a Parisian take on high tea: elegant, classic, and great for a slow, cozy break. The food itself was fine, nothing bad, nothing standout, but the overall experience made it worth the wait in line. Come for the vibe, stay for the hot chocolate. read more

What a beautiful cafe!! As soon as you walk in you're greeted with a small shop and then a set of stairs. The cafe is big and can seat larger parties. They have a wonderful selection of baked goods, breakfast, tea style selection of sandwiches and of course their well known hot chocolate. The day we went it was pretty warm but we still opted for it. The hot chocolate is rich and pairs nicely with a buttery croissant ! I got the omelet with a side of cafe au lait and orange juice. The omelet was so soft and buttery and paired beautifully with the fresh squeezed orange juice. The small side salad was an excellent touch of freshness. I also got to try my friends breakfast sandwich, eggs Benedict and the Mont Blanc. Everything was so delicious. The service was a bit slow so if you're in a time crunch, be sure to order and request for the bill in advance. I also recommend either going first thing in the morning or soon after the breakfast rush. read more

Went to Notre-Dame and experienced such a religious place but went to Angelina and found Heaven~ The Hot Chocolate alone is worth every mile to Paris. Make sure to get a croissant to dip in your hot chocolate. Your life will forever be changed. The service was great and the Ambiance, impeccable. Just what was needed to star the morning off in before a day of shopping in the area. Really a must. Tip: if you don't have time to wait for a table, walk straight past the line open doors and on the right there is a beautiful counter of take with you options along with the Hot Chocolate. Then head across the street to the park to enjoy. read more

When I go to Paris, Angelina's hot chocolate is a must have! is an old world tea room that opened in 1903. The building is beautiful inside with all of the charming character from an earlier time. We did take away because the line to get in was long. I really went for the hot chocolate which is decadent. It is so rich and chocolatey. We also had a chocolate chip cookie that was delicious the pieces of chocolate in the cookie was some of the best chocolate I ever had. The staff is professional and helpful. We took our hot chocolate across the street to the Jardin de Tuileries right across the street. read more

After a decent wait for a table, we eyed up the menu to pass time and had a good idea of what we anticipated ordering. However, once we were finally seated it took over 20 minutes to get any acknowledgment, welcome, etc. from our server. The place was packed so we gave some grace but once our server finally showed there was no warm welcome, apology for the wait, or anything. Then as we started to placed our order, he rudely scoffed and said the kitchen was probably closed. After taking a look at a clock he said we had a few minutes before it did! Imagine our horror after all this waiting had it actually been closed. At any rate, we were ready so off he rushes, only to return with the incorrect macarons for my daughter. Again no apology just grabs them back, reconfirms what it should have been, then off he went to get the right ones. The service was so unwelcoming and inefficient that it ruined a much anticipated item on our Paris to do list. Sadly I can't imagine returning. There's just too many great places equally as crowded with better customer service. read more

My wife and I knew absolutely nothing about this place but while walking back to our hotel we saw a line outside and decided to get on it because why not. The line didn't take long to get us in and seated so that was cool. Once inside we ordered what is supposed to be their signature offerings which was the hot chocolate and the Mont-blanc. The chocolate was very rich and indulgent and I could only manage to down barely half a cup. The mont-blanc was just as rich and sweet and tasty. We enjoyed the offerings. The service was so-so. They were friendly but a bit stand-off-ish. The prices were a bit high but this is a tourist spot so whatcha gonna do. Would I come here again? Probably not. Would I recommend this place to people visiting? Sure, why not give it a try. read more

The hot chocolate lives up to its hype. We arrived soon after they opened on a weekday morning so we didn't have to wait for a table, however the dining room was already pretty full and by the time we left, there was a line outside. The interior is decorated really lovely with (paintings? Chandeliers) Since it's a popular tourist spot, the atmosphere is buzzing though, so don't expect to serenely sip your cocoa. We went all out for the brunch, which comes with two mini croissants, scones, a sweet dish, an egg dish, a hot drink, and a juice. It was definitely a splurge, and for sure a one time thing. Everything tasted great. The standout of the bunch was the caramelized French Toast, which had a perfect sugar crust and an amazing flavor. I liked the pear museli too as a palate cleanser, but it's a pity we couldn't swap it out for a comparably priced option like the crepes. We also got their signature Mont Blanc to try, but honestly we were pretty stuffed and that was overkill. It was nice, but a little too rich after all the other bites. Service was fast. There was a nice shop at the front to pick up gifts or souvenirs, and you get a 10% discount if you dine in. I'd go back if I was in Paris or would try to NYC location, but probably just for a cocoa and a single dish. read more

Came here for the famous hot chocolate. I love chocolate so this was perfect for me. My mom tried it and it was a bit too rich for her. If you are not a sweets person it can be a bit much. They do have a tea time that I would like to come back and try. The service here was not the best and quite slow. We weren't in a rush to eat or anything but it took 23 minutes for a server to come over. It wasn't particularly busy either. Overall a positive experience. The inside is very beauty and very "French" it's a great place to just sit and people watch. read more

The place is so chic! It's everything you'd ask for in a Parisian restaurant. The entrance, the walls, the ceilings, and branded napkins, plates, and cups set the vibe for sure 10/10. We got the hot chocolate and croissant of course, which were both what we had expected them to be... heavenly. I also had to try their "signature creation" the Mont Blanc. Though it was delicious, I think I only needed a quarter of it because it was so sweet 7/10. Overall, definitely worth a visit when in Paris. I actually regret not buying something from the shop to take home. read more

Yes, Angelina is absolutely worth the hype and this is coming from someone who doesn't like chocolate. The hubby and I arrived at 10:30am on a Sunday thinking there'd be an hour wait and were surprised we were seated right away. When we left at 12:30, the line was about 50 people deep. I ordered the Parisian breakfast while the hubby ordered the Angelina and we added the hot chocolate with cream and a Mont Blanc on the side. Highlights: The hot chocolate is extraordinary and nothing I've ever experienced before. It was thick, warm, wasn't overly sweet, and needed the whipped cream to cut through it. The omelette was seasoned perfectly, hot, and tasted great with cheese. The croissants were buttery and great. The baguette was served with butter that was rolled like candy and served with their raspberry, apricot, and honey spreads. The honey was my favorite and I'd ordered a bottle of it. Their coffee is delicious. I ordered a double espresso while the hubby did an americano. Our server provided cream which was whipping cream without sugar and perfect. Pass: The Mont Blanc was gorgeous but not for us. It could've been that we were full but the chestnut cream fell flat. The best thing about that dessert is the pavlova crust which gives it a nice texture. The chocolate croissants were so-so. Stick with the OG. The service was fantastic, she was attentive, and we handed her a cash tip before we left to thank her. read more

5/5 Food - Best brunch I have ever had. Everything we ordered was fantastic. Not in the pictures is the French toast, by far the best French toast in the world! 5/5 Ambiance - Place is old, built in 1903 so it has an old vibe but I wouldn't expect anything less. Nice paintings, lighting and mirrors. 5/3 Service - Be prepared to wait along time for anything because they are just really slow.

Angelina and carette are the two viral hot chocolate shops in Paris. The hot chocolate is basically a melted down chocolate bar with milk. It's rich, heavy, and decadent especially with the whipped cream on top. If that appeals to you, this place is right for you. It's a new experience but I wouldn't really eat the food here as that's not their specialty. Spacing here is pretty tight as you sit next to other patrons and can hear their conversations. read more

Angelina Paris, is a popular hot chocolate and French pastry cafe, this location close to the Louvre. We arrived at a time there wasn't the typical line up, however, we were seated in the back very close to the kitchen in a very run down section. Service was not great, it took a long time for the server to arrive as did our order. Signature hot chocolate is expensive as we found all menu items. Our server brought us a bill for another table, two hot mocha and a water was more than 35 euro. The bathrooms are a shared space, very sub par, considering the traffic, they are in desperate need of an update and expansion. My overall impression is this is a tourist trap and they couldn't care less, which is too bad. I'm not sure the long wait times and lacklustre service is worth it. You might be better off picking up the hot chocolate from the retail store and doing your own at home. read more

I wanna preface by saying I'm only reviewing pastries and tea. While in Paris I of course had to try the Fannie Angelina's. I was so pleased when I got here. It's so cute but just know the lines are long both to dine in or take pastries to go. That being said I only waited about 5 minutes before I was seated. I had the famous Mont Blanc and the raspberry framboise. I don't remember what tea I had but it was very tasty and refreshing on a hot Paris day. Now I didn't much care for the Mont Blanc. It was good but not my preference and also it was huge. Definitely a shareable. But that raspberry framboise was so amazing. It was sweet, but still some tartness, and had cream and crunch. Ugh it was so good. The service here was so great. Very friendly and attentive. Looking at the interior it looks more fancy but really it's a casual place. Great place for some pastries, there were so many I wanted to order but alas I couldn't eat it all. read more

Angelina Paris is a must-visit. Their hot chocolate is one of the best in the city--rich, thick, and unforgettable.

A perfect spot for a sweet treat in Paris. read more

Angelina is iconic. It has a long line, the hot chocolate is great, but is too rich and too much for one person. The deserts are great, but again they are a lot for one person.

Overall was great experience, great environment and lovely/romantic for a couple. read more

So this was one of the major stops we had to check out. She was here before and liked the hot chocolate, but I mean switzerland really set the bar too high for the french. I mean, it was good, but OMG chocolate in Switzerland is just top tier. There is no comparison and it would be rude to ding this place just because the french are unable to compare to the Swiss. The ambiance, views and decor in the place is just incredible. It is such a beautiful place. The service is amazing, the food and crepes are amazing. They taste fantastic. Everything is done really well here and the selection of food is fantastic. If it wasn't for checking out Switzerland, I would deem this the best place for chocolate and breakfast. read more
