Tourist trap. HORRIBLE. Really Bad Service or staff if overwhelmed!!! Just the bad service made my experience horrible. Should have went to the other location. For one waited at least 15 minutes to sit down. The staff ignore the people waiting to GET in. Other customers were waiting to pay and become pro active and stood by the cash register. I would have given it one star but I did lie the macaroons- you are are better off walking a few feet in the store and getting Hermès.
The Angelina is expensive, touristy, and full of hype. The pastries and hot chocolate are delicious though. I spent €40 for two pastries, water, and two hot chocolates. I did appreciate that the cost of the hot chocolate was two cups each with whipped cream. The food did look delicious and wonderfully prepared. I saw several other tables get sandwiches and other items that looked delicious but we only stopped in for a break. We lucked out that there was no line at the time but there was when we left. I also appreciate that they will let you take your time to enjoy as long as you like. For those needing the restroom, specifically the men, just note it's a single unisex restroom of horrors around the corner on the other end of the building by the art gallery. Otherwise men have to go across the street to the men's section of the store.
It was a great experience we did really like specially their chocolate, ooooh my..!!!! The locations is very good inside the mall Lafayette, feels very private. Their service is good, it just take long to attend you but this is France and that's how they are so dong get upset because you already know How it is, just get in and take a seat and enjoy. We took the full combo which was 35€ I think per person, but here is about the experience of something different. I will give them 4 stars only because I didn't really like the omelet. But the rest was good.
For my first trip to Paris, I knew I had to at least visit an Angelina location to taste the famous hot chocolate and Mont Blanc. This was the most convenient location and there was no waiting time compared to other places. The service was quick and friendly. The hot chocolate was pretty good, but honestly nothing special. It was thick hot chocolate that anyone could easily make at home. I wasn't sure of what to expect from the Mont Blanc, but I didn't enjoy it. Desserts are usually never too sweet for me, but this one was. I also didn't care for the meringue in the center of the pastry. Overall, the combination of tastes and textures just didn't work for me. As other reviewers mention, this place is overpriced. If the desserts tasted better, then it would be worth the price. I'm glad I was able to visit this place and cross it off my list, but I will visit other patisseries during my next trip to Paris.
My wife has been on the hunt for the best hot chocolate in Paris. She was hoping the winner would be an unknown little coffee shop, but she'll be hard-pressed to find a better cup than Angelina's: thick dark chocolate imported from Africa. Warm and rich with unsweetened whip cream. We also ordered a ham and cheese sandwich. It came on toasted white bread. It was soft and subtle, a perfect snack. My other favorite part was the butter that came with the fresh rolls. The rolls were very good, but I won't soon forget the butter. The roll became just a vehicle for the butter. It was creamy and soft and spread smoothly over the bread. I loved scrapping the roll in the butter and getting a big glob of it on the end of the end of the bread and eating it that way. My only complaints are that it seems overpriced and also feels a bit like a cheesecake factory. Tons of tourists (which is fine -- I am one after all), all packed into a big room with tiny tables. But the food is top-notch!
Angelina in Galeries Lafayette was the worst part of my family's entire Paris trip. Just looking at the menu, I had a feeling that the meal would not be good and asked everyone if they still wanted to eat there. The prices were ridiculously overpriced and from what I saw on the tables around us, it didn't look like the value was there. I ended up ordering the hot chocolate and the salad with foie gras. The hot chocolate came first and it tasted good at first but overly sweet, rich, and thick. I had to take small sips of it. Then the salad came. The lettuce wasn't the freshest and the foie gras was inedible to me. I had amazing foie gras at Les Cocottes the night before but the foie gras here had a weird flavor. After I finished the salad, I went back to finish the hot chocolate but it was impossible to drink. It had cooled off and was way too thick. I really needed a cup of hot water to water it down but the waiter was nowhere to be found. I would recommend avoiding this restaurant because it is a very expensive tourist trap.
What a hidden gem, in the corner of the galleria Lafayette. Pop in for a quick coffee, and afternoon delight of desert. The selection of pastries and macaroons are tempting from across the hall. The presentation and flavor make it worth stopping by to recharge while getting in some retail therapy.
Having had a few desserts, a hot chocolate, tea and a salad from Angelina, I feel like it's best to stick with desserts and tea at Angelina's. Skip the rest. Their famous hot chocolate is way overhyped in my opinion. It's good, but the most special thing about it is the fancy presentation. The salad is extremely average as well and I would avoid ordering their overpriced food. However, their pastries are out of this world delicious. I've tried the millefeuilles at a few other places in Paris and none can beat Angelina's version. It's richness and sweetness is so well balanced it leaves you feeling good after eating it, although you've just indulged in a dessert smothered in cream.
Highly recognised as audrey hepburn's favourite cafe to grab a hot chocolate, and also a favourite of coco chanel's too. They don't serve flavoured hot chocs, which seems to be all the rage these days, but you don't need it. It would just ruin their signature chocolate africaan. It's rich, velvety and quite filling, so don't go on a full stomach. Pair it with their signature mont blanc, chestnut cake, which is also very good, but again, very heavy. So it's pricy, but who the hell CAN budget in Paris? Spend the money & enjoy Paris like coco chanel.
Angelina was the one spot I had to check out due to the hype over the hot chocolate. We ordered a hot one for the experience and a cold one since I prefer cold drinks. This hot chocolate (both hot & cold) were super rich! I love me some chocolate but this was a lot to handle. We also ordered the famous Mont-Blanc which the hubby liked. Me, not so much. It was soft to the touch but perhaps it just did not pair well with our hot chocolates. It was too much sugar altogether. Hubby and I have also had the sliders and French onion soup on another occasion. Aside from the soup, the sliders are not much to rave about. Mine were a little on the burnt side and required ketchup for flavor. It's a nice pick-me-up when you're exhausted from shopping but all in all, it's a pass for me. If your a first timer, I do recommend checking it out at least once. read more
Came by for dessert the other day and it was a horrific experience. Despite having a fancy name Angelina, the experience was horrific! The highlight was the latte which was drinkable. The house-special mont-blanc dessert was a disaster. The nut-based topping was stale. The cream in the middle was lackluster, and the sugar-cookie at the very bottom was super sweet...absolutely a disaster! The mille-feuille looked crispy but was anything but...eek! ...for those thinking about ordering a soda or water, a coffee is cheaper in Europe! read more
I was very excited to try the famous hot chocolate but I was left unimpressed. Personally, I feel it's overrated and wouldn't get this in the future. I'm glad I tried it to kill the curiosity but sorry, no. The service was also lacking..not sure if this is French culture but I was standing (and then walking) around, looking for someone to help me for 10 minutes. There was a table of people dining so I knew it wasn't closed. An Asian woman finally emerged from the kitchen with a 'wth do u want' attitude. I wasn't too offended because I wasn't sure if this was normal. Definitely awkward. Tip: If you order for takeaway, it's cheaper than dining in. read more

Pass. Only good for photo op. Hot chocolate is bitter as expected and it's one of the better versions of bitter chocolate but only took couple sips. Mont blanc is not what I had expected and just so underwhelming. Inside is whip cream and outside is so sugary... Took only one bite. read more

Omg the review saying that it's too pretty to eat is on the spot I almost feel bad :) it was delicious fantastic amazing and expensive but totally worth it. If you wanna have a desert that you will dream about it get any of their deserts but I had mine at the Versailles museum read more

This place had the worst service. To bring water it took ten minutes. They forgot to bring one of the cappuccinos we ordered. The dessert was decent but could have been better. Out of all the desserts we ordered only one of them exceeded my expectations. The servers were rude and impatient. read more

Angelina is well known for the dessert. It is located on 1st floor. It is a little bit pricy but the Mont Blanc is so delicious. Should try that at least once. I also tried Demoiselle Tatin and it is also good. read more

Gorgeous hot chocolate amongst the best. Try the signature version and don't be gentle when it comes to adding cream. And I don't mean milk - I mean fresh white fluffy Chantilly cream that they supply for the purpose. The pastries are just as delightful. Whilst you can find more artisanal chocolate and pastries elsewhere, for the price, service, and convenience, you won't go wrong here. Il est délicieux! read more

It was empty at about 1pm on a Friday afternoon. Server was very friendly and helpful. Ordered Mont Blanc (had this in the Japan branch before but the Japanese version seems to be slightly tastier), the hot chocolate drink(it's very very strong, almost like drinking melted chocolate). It was good with the first cup but after that it's a bit too much. The price was also quite high.... But I guess that's for the atmosphere and the brand ;) read more

Cute place, full of tourists (of course) but still delicious. Do yourself a favor and get a hot chocolate (comes with whipped cream) but SPLIT IT with a friend! My mother and I made the mistake of getting two - they came in a beautiful pitcher that we could barely finish half of. read more

Angelina was on my list of places to try as soon as I knew I was going to be heading to Paris. I had a lot on my agenda during my trip and I was nearing the end of my vacation I feared I was going to miss out on the opportunity to check out Angelina. My husband and I decided to visit Galeries Lafayette ( a must for shopaholics!) and I was delighted to discover that Angelina was one of the cafes in the department store! My husband was hungry for lunch so he opted for a smoked salmon sandwich and I had the hot chocolate which is one of the things they're known for. What I experienced was the most decadent cup of hot chocolate I've ever had in my life. It was creamy, decadent and utterly sinful but I had two cups and purchased 3 tins to bring home. read more
The hot chocolate was basically melted chocolate. It was good but too rich, i couldn't finish the serving. The mont blanc was way too sweet. I had one bite of the outer layer and I never touched it again. I somehow managed to scrape out the inside of it which goes well with well, water. Everything was overpriced. I would go back only for the hot chocolate, but I'd make sure to share it with a friend. read more

I had the truffle raviolis, and the African chocolate dessert. They were both amazing & the service was lightning fast and impeccable. If you're the area and want a bite to eat, then definitely stop by, you won't regret it! read more

Cafe Angelina has a very kind and attentive staff. If you order the hot chocolate only order one cup. I ordered two to share with my family and we got a whole pitcher. Very expensive. However the hot chocolate was rich and creamy and wonderful. The little whipped cream cups were so nice! The eggs Benedict was perfect. Runny. Fluffy. Warm. Delicious. Mont Blanc had good chestnut purée paste but the cream inside was truly exceptional. read more
