However, it's on the pricier side of what I experienced in Paris. Their croissants were the best I tried during my trip and I really can't recommend this place enough, especially for their taste, quality, and variety. ___________________ Wait (5/5) - I went early in the morning and it was empty. Ambience (5/5) - Feels like a very high end bakery. I wasn't expecting it to be so fancy and well laid out but it's quite nice. Service (5/5) - The staff was nice and spoke more than enough English to explain their selection and help me with my order. Food (5/5) - Their croissant is bigger than most I tried and also the most delicious. The crust was flaky and had layers while the inside felt like its own soft puff pastry. I tried their "Kashmir" cake (I think that's what it was called) and that was simply delicious. All their cakes look amazing! Price (4/5) - Their food is definitely amazing but on the pricier side of what I had in Paris.

Upon coming here again two more times in two days, I realized that when it comes to pâtisseries, it…read moreis a little overpriced. (On par with Pierre Hermé and Angelina, I think). I got the religieuse au caramel buerre salée, which was incredible. However, it's difficult to finish a whole pâtisserie by yourself. I think I'll have to go back to Aux Péchés Normandes, which also has really good pâtisseries and compare the taste, because it's definitely cheaper there. I don't know if it's just me, but the selection seems a little worse for wear this time around. The pastries don't look as delectable as they did before. =/ Today, I got a baguette aux sesames (1.70€), since it is also for bread. I've never had a baguette aux sesames before, but I couldn't resist because it smelled so good. :) It also tasted pretty great.

This was my FAVORITE boulangerie in Paris. The decor looked pretty from the outside, so we walked…read morein without reservations and initially stood in line for the takeaway but wanted to dine in. The line works differently in Paris. The takeaway line is STRICTLY for takeout. If you want to dine in, grab an empty table, and a server will come to you. Let's be a polite traveler. The pastry was DELICIOUS as we ordered CROISSANT, STRAWBERRY TART, and SPINACH and CHEESE QUICHE. All the items here were FANTASTIC. We also ordered ESPRESSO with WATER (translated in English). What I realized about espresso in Paris is that it is less bitter and acidic compared to the-most-famous-coffeeshop (She Who Must Not Be Named). And for that reason, I would never be able to drink their espresso. I wish I had more time to return and try other selections. I would definitely RECOMMEND this café to anyone staying near.

Stopping in at Bechu reminded me that Paris is always a good idea. Bechu is an upscale bakery in an…read moreupscale neighborhood at the intersection of several streets near Passy and Trocadero. We had just arrived in Paris and I wanted to take my 10 year old daughter on a stroll to see how the natives behave in their natural habitat. I asked a street vendor about the best bakery in the neighborhood and Voilà, we found Bechu. It's a cut above the average, for sure. We loved the macarons, chocolate tart, apple tart, a few mini-bouche de Noels, as well as the humble baguette they make. The café looked charming although we didn't eat there. The quality is top notch and the place has a happy, buzzy, bustling, glamorous atmosphere. Not a destination in and of itself but worth stopping by if you're in the neighborhood.
