My friend and I had an extra day in Paris, and we heard this place has amazing hot chocolate. Lo and behold, their hot chocolate is amazing! When we arrived, there was a line, but it moves pretty fast. There's quite tight seating quarters, but it's absolutely beautiful inside! My friend and I opted for the tea time with hot chocolate, and those finger sandwiches were delicious! The dessert tier was a little too sweet for us. Service was not bad, and the bathrooms upstairs were pretty nice. If you don't want to wait or dine inside, there is a to-go area just to the right after you step inside. read more

Angelina - tea time with Angelina's hot chocolate - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Paris, 75

The food was very good, the servers were nice. The seating was tiny downstairs but looks like they had more space upstairs.

Angelina is famous for hot chocolate, so make sure to try that during your visit. It's so rich it causes you to slow down and savor it. Honestly, it's probably the best hot chocolate I've ever had. Adding the whipped cream brings a whole new level to the drink. If you visit after 3 pm, you can enjoy tea time which includes small sandwiches and sweets plus a cup of hot chocolate for 25 euros. There are plenty of other options if you come by at a different time or are not interested in high tea. While Angelina is quite large and the servers do a good job of turning over the tables quickly, be prepared to wait. However, the line outside moves quickly, so don't let it stop you from visiting. If anything, you'll get some time to look through the menu and the gift shop. If you're just visiting the gift shop, you don't need to wait in line. read more

This review is for takeaway only because I didn't feel like waiting in the cold to be cramped inside. This cafe is SUPER BUSY all the time no matter what time of the day it is there's a line outside. I ordered the hot chocolate and it did not disappoint. Walking in the cold, into the jardin du Tuileries with my hot cocoa and sipping it was truly a great experience, one that is quintessential to being in Paris, in the 9th arondissment. Their mini Mont Blancs were to die for -- you get the traditional chestnut, pistachio and raspberry. All were good and not too sweet, to my surprise! I will be back for more goodies and for that hot chocolate! read more

We visited Angelina twice during our visit to Paris - once at the location by the Lourve and another time at Versailles - and we enjoyed both times. I saw this spot recommended by a lot of folks during my trip planning, but I didn't realize just how popular it was until we visited the location by the Louvre and waited for over an hour in line before being seated. They are known for their hot chocolate and sweets, which is honestly all they serve most of the times of day. The hot chocolate was VERY good - it was quite hot and had a great mouth feel being thick but smooth. It also wasn't too sweet; it seemed semi-sweet which made it easier to drink the whole pitcher lol. We liked our pastries at Versailles best - cheese cake and roche praline. They were both fantastic and we finished both. At the Louvre location we got the famous mont blanc, a chocolate eclair, and another traditional dessert that had layers of flaky pastry and creme. All three of these were decent, but not quite our favorites and we didn't finish them. I think trying the Mont Blanc is a right of passage when visiting Paris, so I'd recommend giving it a try for the experience mostly! read more

We went 2:30 on a Saturday and wait was an hour plus. Hot chocolate was very good but service terrible compared to our last visit a year and half ago. No water was offered and would not let us split the hot chocolate order (which we did last time) while servers tables around us were allowed to split the pot. She did not check on us once while there basically ignored. We had to ask get attention of another waiter for bill. I also remember receiving little chocolates with hot chocolate order as well in the past. Very disappointed taking our son there for this experience. Definitely not worth standing in long line. read more

My first visit here was 25 years ago and again 23 years ago and most recently in 2022. I have to say that I love this place and I love how the menu has evolved and really expanded while still maintaining all of the classic and traditional food and drink items. Of course, there was a line and the place is full of tourists but also good to see some actual local French people here. By far this is the best hot chocolate in town and also the sweetest hot chocolate in town. Pricing is on the higher end especially when you consider its location and it's iconic reputable brand name. However, it is still decent fair pricing, considering overall Paris is quite expensive. This is a must out for me every time I visit the city. read more

Angelina - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Paris, 75

You must go before 10 am unless you don't mind waiting an hour or two. They are almost always busy, so don't expect quick service. The food is very good, omelette cooked perfectly and of course the chocolat chaud is divine! If you're going to complain about prices, this is not the place for you! It's not extravagant for Paris, but will be if you're from a one horse town in America read more

4 stars for the Mont Blanc. If you love chestnut desserts. You have to try this! We waited in line for a bit to dine in after visiting the Louvre. There is another line to visit the boutique where you can take out the desserts and drinks to go. We came here with the intention of trying the world's best hot chocolate. Maybe my expectations were too high. I had the iced chocolate which I found was very thick and hard to drink because of how rich it was. It essentially tasted like a melted chocolate bar that was cooled down. Could only manage to drink half of it! My afternoon tea partner had the hot chocolate which came deconstructed for you to pour and add the whipped cream on top. I wish I opted for this instead. The star of the show was the Mont Blanc. The chestnut cream wasn't too sweet and it was a very delicate yummy dessert. The interior of this cafe is very chic. Great for photos. I would come back again to try the menu items but won't order the iced chocolate. read more

We stopped into Angelina with high hopes--and it exceeded every single one. We were joking around when we walked in, not expecting to be totally blown away... but wow. We ordered the famous hot chocolate, and it truly lives up to the hype--rich, velvety, and unlike anything else we've ever tasted. I had the Corden Bleu, which was delicate and perfectly fragrant. For food, I went with the Eggs Benedict, and they were spot on--beautifully runny yolks and a sauce that was buttery and smooth. Then came dessert. We had the Charlotte cake, and honestly? It was out of this world. Light, flavorful, and beautifully presented. We also tried one of their seasonal specialties (wish I remembered the name), and it was just as incredible--decadent, balanced, and worth every bite. The entire experience--from the food to the ambiance--was awesome. Highly recommend if you're in Paris and want to treat yourself to something unforgettable. read more

I'm so happy we stopped. We waited about 15 min but well worth it. Was enjoyable and delicious read more

Great place if you want to try some authentic French cuisine, mainly breakfast items. There was a big line and it took 30 mins for is to get in. We ordered the croissant, hot chocolate and mont blanc. Honestly I feel the hot chocolate was over rated. It was rich and creamy at the same time it was bitter. I like the L.A. Burdick hot chocolate better. But the croissant and Mont blanc dessert was out of the world. Especially Mont blanc that was made out of chestnut. Tasted very similar to an Indian dessert. Loved it! Must try! read more

Angelina is definitely a very touristy spot. If you get here, you're more than likely to have to wait in a line. The line moves pretty quickly though, so it's definitely worth the wait. The hot chocolate is so good!!! I also got some brunch food, but I would skip food all together - it was just ok. The hot chocolate is truly the star. read more

Angelina - Hot chocolate - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Paris, 75

Angelinas is known for their world famous hot chocolate and signature mont blanc. we ordered: *old fashioned hot chocolate $12 *signature mont-blanc $12 *trocadero $11.50 this was the fanciest hot chocolate i've ever tried lol. it was fun assembling it and mixing in the whipped cream but honestly taste wise, it was eh and a bit too sweet and thick for me. i was also not a big fan of the mont blanc (chestnut dessert) but the trocadero was soo yummy. it's made with hazelnut and chocolate and reminded me of ferrero rocher. I had high expectations but this kind of fell short of them. This is just my preference. If you prefer a thicker and richer hot chocolate, then I would recommend you give this spot a try! read more

We went on a Sunday afternoon and were lucky that we only had to lineup for about 15mins for a table. We got the brunch experience which came with hot chocolate, pastries, a choice of a brunch dish, and choice of dessert dish. The hot chocolate was incredible and the richness was unlike anything we have tasted! However, the butter croissants were very average at best and the brunch dishes (we got the french toast and eggs benedict) were subpar. We also paid extra 10 Euro for the famous Mont Blanc which not only did the presentation look very sloppy, but we found out it's only 8 Euro if you buy from the counter! Overall, not worth the wait if you're looking to get a full sit down brunch. Much better deal skipping the line and buy directly from the counter and gift shop read more

This is a pretty well known chain - our second time at this location as well in Paris. I see that they do have some in New York. This time in Paris we learned the importance of planning and making reservations for dinner. This was the only restaurant that we tried that doesn't have a reservation or call ahead option. This meant that we knew we would wait in the queue to be seated. It was directly next door to the Christmas festival. The line wraps around and the wait was about 50-60 minutes. It is the same experience we had last time we waited. Question is: Is it worth the wait? For the experience YES. The inside is very glamorous and has a palacial ambiance. Our server was quite nice and the inside is VERY packed with other guests. They are known for their rich hot chocolate and side of whipped cream. INDULGENCE and RICHNESS is the key word here. It is all very decadent. And to top it off I got the cream ravioli with truffle sauce and then the white Mont Blanc. Mont Blanc is their signature dessert but I recommend a lighter option since the Mont Blanc is very intense and thick. They have a very extensive dessert menu making picking a dessert nearly impossible - just too much tempting choices. Eating here is a trek but I think a journey worth trying if you are ever in that area. read more

When in Paris, you MUST try the hot chocolate (chocolat chaud)--it is truly an experience! Angelina is one of the most iconic tea rooms and pastry shops in all of Paris. Be forewarned, there will be a line, however for a party of 2 we only had to wait in line about 15-20 minutes. After touring the Louvre all morning, Angelina was a perfect nearby stop to satisfy that sweet tooth before exploring the Jardin des Tuileries on a beautiful spring day. We had the classic chocolat chaud, a mocha, the mont-blanc, and the rocher praliné. I will say for two people, this was WAY too much chocolate (did I really just say that...?) and we didn't finish all of it--but dang, it was GOOD! It was all so rich and delicious, but next time I would like to just have the hot chocolate and some macarons. read more

I wish I tried Carette's hot chocolate too to compare, but I can't imagine a hot chocolate being better than Angelina's. I was worried it would be too bitter and heavy but it was the perfect flavor of chocolate without being too sweet! the consistency was perfectly smooth too and adding whipped cream only made it taste better! the whipped cream wasn't sweet which I think was perfect. while the hot chocolate stole the show, my croque monsieur was also super good! I didn't expect much from the food so I was very pleasantly surprised. the inside was absolutely stunning as you'd guess and it didn't take very long at all to get a table! my only regret is not getting a bottle to take home with me to the US. the croissant was also amazing, I wasn't expecting much from it either!! read more

When in Paris one must visit one of the most famous cafes by stopping by Angelina! Reservations are strongly recommended but frequently get booked up months ahead of time. There was a long line when we visited, but it actually moved fairly fast. We were in line for only 30 minutes or so. Currently you must show your health pass on the French COVID app to be seated, so be sure you have this beforehand. It's a large dining room inside with tables fairly close together. There is also a small store if you wish to buy anything to go. Tip: shop after your meal because you'll get a 10% off voucher with your meal. Our server was energetic and spoke very good English. A menu in English was also available. I tried the iced chocolate beverage. Extremely rich but still refreshing and surprisingly not overly sweet. For an entree I selected the fish and chips. It was excellent! Exceptionally crispy fish with a sort of panko coating that was not oily or greasy. The fries were of the shoestring type and also very good. Of course you must save room for dessert! I opted for the Rocher praline. A deliciously rich hazelnut treat that was perfectly sized and again not overly sweet. When in Paris definitely visit Angelina! read more

I had a really lovely experience at Angelina when I was in Paris with my family. I also have a couple insider "impatient" tips from me so keep reading haha! The food: delicious! The pastries are fresh and flaky, the hot chocolate is decadent, rich, but not too sweet. Perfect for dipping! The ambience: gorgeous inside! It feels like a fancy hotel that was converted into an eating parlor of sorts. Beautiful... albeit a tad dim as the natural light from the windows only shines in towards the entrance. The wait: abysmal... but hey, it's popular! Here's my tip and what my family ended up doing: skip the line and grab pastries and hot chocolate to go, then enjoy it in the park across the street. They informed us when we arrived (during a weekday, mind you) that the wait would likely be a bit over 2 hours--yikes! This was solely for the folks who wanted to sit down, but there was no line for the little takeout cafe inside on the right. We grabbed some pastries and chocolate to go and had the absolute best experience in the park together. I'd certainly stop by if you're in Paris, but I don't think it's worth a 2+ hour wait. Skip the line if you can! read more

This was a fantastic experience and worth the wait in line. The decor is just so fun and I could see myself with some friends having brunch and catching up here. We ordered a number of things, but the stand outs were the Mont Blanc (not too sweet and lovely chestnut flavor), the hot chocolate (just a few sips is enough), croque madame (nice presentation and filling). A definite must when you are visiting Paris and near the Louve. read more

Okay so Angelina definitely is worth the wait, the place has some of the best pastries and sweets in Paris! The chocolate they pour on top is some of the best ive ever had! The inside is absolutely jaw dropping, the design is something truly unique and so special! read more

Not worth the hype :( Angelina Cafe is a very popular and viral cafe in Paris known for their hot chocolate. It is also popular for its Mont Blanc and other desserts. I waited in line for a little less than an hour for a table. Do note, that you can go in and bypass the line if you just want to order to-go/ just grab a pastry. There was a long line when I went. The interior of the cafe is BEAUTIFUL. It is so pretty and the ambiance was amazing. The decoration was so pretty, coquette, and perfect for brunch or a snack. The property is also quite large with two floors and many tables to accomodate the crowd. Food: Unfortunately, I do not have good things to say about the food. I ordered the hot chocolate, a paris brest, and a croissant. The hot chocolate was indeed rich and decadent, but it was almost like drinking melted chocolate. To be fair I am not a chocolate person, so perhaps others will like it. Actually yes, I will give Angelina a point for this one because I do think chocolate lovers would like this drink. It was very rich and creamy. The croissant was not great. It was dry, not buttery nor fluffy on the inside. I didn't try the paris brest, but my friend said it was just okay. Service: Service was good I wish it was worth the hype, but unfortunately it was not. read more

Known for their hot chocolate which I can attest to is absolutely out of this world , delicious. Rich, sweet goodness. Pair that with a croissant and some fresh fruit and let's not forget the macaroons. It was perfect! Such a lovely place. We will be back next time we are in Paris. No wait when we got there. Seated right away. Walking distance from our hotel. Impeccable service. Delicious eats. Merci, Angelina! read more

A must visit when in Paris. The hype is real and you will not be disappointed. The hot chocolate was perfectly balanced and truly one of a kind. We ordered the Millefeuille, the Mont Blanc, croissant sandwich, and French onion soup. All great, with the exception of the Mont Blanc, which we thought was just ok. Service was great, our waiter was patient and answered our questions. We waited about 35 minutes to be seated, but well worth it. My wife and I went back to get the Paris-Brest (great), Lemon Pie (great), and a new one can't remember the name. This place was/is LEGIT. Lastly, the atmosphere and ambiance totally fits the cuisine and occasion of visiting such a place. Take pictures, and enjoy your time here. read more

This place was in our list for the longest time, and we're so glad we went here. The line gets long, and we waited probably about 30 minutes. The interior of the place was spectacular. It definitely has an elegant and classic Parisian charm to it. We wanted to come here for the famous hot chocolate, which was good, but a little too thick. The French onion soup was delicious. In the front, they also have a place where you can buy your own hot chocolate and tea boxes as well as macarons. If you're not dining in the restaurant, you can just cut the line to go into the store. read more

We went to the one inside the Versailles Palace and we came right in time because lunch service hasn't started so the line wasn't long and we were seated almost immediately. I ordered the famous old fashioned hot chocolate to share with my SIL and a Croque Monsieur. We ordered 2 bowls of the Crème Dubarry which is a creamy cauliflower soup for each couple to share. SIL ordered the Parisian breakfast while the brothers, our husbands each ordered the Angelina Club Sandwich. Everything was perfect! Every dish was as delicious as it was beautifully presented. Our host//server was amazing! He was quite entertaining as well. And being the Americanized Filipinos we are, we were a bit impatient (and hungry) but had to wait since the restaurant was packed! And we didn't mind one bit because our server made sure we were taken care of properly and when the food came all was forgotten. The cream served with the hot chocolate alone was divine. The pastries were fresh, the orange juice was also fresh. The ambience being inside the Palace of Versailles added to the charm and history of the restaurant. After our meal, as we were headed back to continue our tour we saw that the line has grown immensely. I would estimate at least 1 hour wait for the first person in line but definitely worth it if you ask me. We bought some goodies to take home so my kids can try their hot chocolate and chestnut cream. I Love Angelina's! read more

You can expect to wait in line to get in to Angelina, but the line moves fairly quickly. The hot chocolate is the best I've ever had, and could very well be the best in the entries world. It was so creamy, smooth, served hot, on the sweet side but not too rich. It was absolutely perfect. You definitely need to use all of the whipped cream to cushion the hot chocolate to make it lighter and frothier. I also ordered the croissant roll, scrambled eggs on a bed of bread with comte cheese on top. It was fantastic. Upon my next return to Paris, there's no doubt I'll be running back to Angelina read more

I came here and decided to voice my opinion on this over hyped discriminatory place. Now that I read the reviews, seems like we were not the only ones to get poor treatment. We waited in line for more than 30 minutes and finally got to sit. This is totally okay considering how famous this place this. The problem started after seating. We had to wait another half hour to just put our order in. Our server wouldn't even acknowledge our presence but was so friendly and chatty with the other families. Not sure if this was racist (we are brown skinned), but we noticed so much difference in the treatment towards us versus other families. Our waiter was very rude, made no eye contact, wouldn't even talk to us. We weren't even served water despite asking thrice. Finally ordered the citron tart and Paris brest and both seemed dry. Tried their iced chocolate since it was a hot day, that was okay but not worth the cost. It took us additional half hour to even pay the bill. My suggestion to everyone reading this review is to not waste your time and not buy into the hype, rather pick another local store that will provide much better service. Also, the Angelina in the palace of Versailles had much better service. read more
