    Look at all the yummy sweets!!!
    Sara C.

    Thanks to our server at the previous restaurant we visited fir recommending this place! It's small but not hard to find...just look for the blue signage! We came in to buy a baguette and dessert for my birthday picnic up at the top of the hill. It was around 7pm and there were lots of foot traffic in and out of here. We were helped by two nice ladies who spoke very little English but were very helpful. He got a caramel and custard filled eclaire while I had the dark chocolate covered cherry filled sponge cake. Of course, we got a nice warm toasty baguette. Our total came out to €7,25!. Their pastries and baked goods are so cheap in france!!! I love it! Cash only.

    Best chausson aux pommes ever!

    I came to Montmartre to see Basilique du Sacré-Cœur and stopped by here to buy some Viennoiseries. The CHAUSSON AUX POMMES was very flaky and there was smooth apple sauce inside, which was not too sweet. The chiboust with peach was also delicious. Merengue was very fluffy and well caramelized on top. I loved the sweetness of merengue and tanginess of peach. Just like its store name "d'Antan", every pastry looks like they were handed down from one generation to another. It's definitely worth coming back!

    Oh my goodness! What a wonderful treat on my Paris trip…read more I ventured off alone during the day after family was touristy tired. The best French pastries ever. Thank you so much for the wonderful treats. I will savor them for three days. I asked in French if the ladies spoke English and they were kind enough to oblige. They were about an hour from closing but everything I got was so yummy. All the best. Ms. C.

    I spent a week in Paris at a studio apartment a few blocks away and this quickly became my go to…read moreshop for breakfast treats. Literally everything I tried was amazing and I tried quite a few things. And it's not just the vacation bias, since I did try other bakeries in the neighborhood that were very mediocre. Mille Feuille: Loved how the dry flaky layers contrasted the creamy layers. Éclairs au Chocolat: My French is weak so I thought I was getting vanilla cream filled, so the chocolate ganache was surprising. But a pleasant surprise as it was super rich, playing nicely against the choux shell. Canelés: Perfectly crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. It tasted like there was some hint of alcohol flavoring inside, but I couldn't place it. Bonne Maman Poire Chocolat: Loved the soft pears against the brownie-like surrounding tart. Tartelette Framboise: Basically an excuse to get a ton of cream, which happens rest on a buttery shell and be covered in fresh raspberries. Cheese Cake: Nothing like New York cheesecake. It has the consistency of no-bake, but wasn't, since it tasted baked. So airy and light and delicious. Delise de Iles: One of the prettiest desserts with so many pretty colorful layers, including fluffy meringue on top. I especially liked how the fruit paste layer contrasted the creamy layer. Cherry Frangipane: A little dry on its own, but pairs well with coffee. The fragrant cooked cherries are the highlight. Pineapple Tartlet: Forget the French name, but it was a rather dry grainy tart (almost muffin-like) with candied pineapple on top. Another one that goes well with coffee. Cavette(?): Not sure if I got the spelling right, but this was basically like rectangular-shaped croissant dough with cream and chocolate in between. AMAZING! Perhaps my favorite breakfast treat. Croissant au Beurre: Simple, yet so amazing. Better than anything I've had in stateside. Baguette aux Lardons: How can you make a baguette better? Add crispy thick bacon bits and cheese! Sandwich Jambon et Fromage: My favorite of the simple baguette sandwiches I tried. A classic ham & cheese that the French somehow make amazing. Sandwich Brie Beurre: Very rich since you have creamy brie and butter! Sandwich Saucisson Cornichons: Each ingredient individually was fine, but I wasn't digging the combination. I should have probably stuck with having some sort of cheese. Baguette Traditional: Super crunchy and crispy outside, with a soft and airy center. Baguette Classique: Reminded me of a hoagie roll, but way fancier. All the good parts of baguette, but a slightly softer shell that manages to crunch a tad but it gets chewy.

I've visited here twice, both times ordering the spiral croissants, their so called and playfully named "escargot", one with chocolate and pistachio, the other with raisins. I loved both. The croissants, while perfectly flaky, had a soft, moist interior where the filling nestled. The bottom was sticky with syrup. Of the two, my favorite was the pistachio-filled escargot, with chocolate chips that were neither too rich nor too dark, just right. If only I could be there again!

Occupying a large corner, original painted ceilings and a wood-burning oven suggesting an era long before Tweets and Tik-Toks, it is once inside that guests will find an abundance of Breads and Viennoiserie offered by the mostly unengaging staff. Visited on a Thursday with no lines, prices nearly double those of nearby Mamiche, a four-part order was procured quickly for €24, the Almond Croissant a flat disaster both literally and figuratively while thw famed swirl can be found better at Maison Julien. Improving the lamination with a Pan Suisse, basic but satisfying, Du Pain et des Idées best bites come from an elongated baton dubbed Sacristain that crunches before giving way to layers of Butter, Sugar and delicate Pastry Cream.

She told me I needed to get the pain au chocolat as they tend to run out. I got myself the ham and tomato thing as well as a big log covered in chocolate. I ate what I got on my flight back to LA.

Upon entering the bakery, I was greeted by the aroma of butter and the sight of neat rows of fresh pastries. I really wanted to try one of everything, but I was determined to try the pain au chocolat, a personal favorite. Le Grenier a Pain's pain au chocolat was much larger and heartier than others I've tried yet retained its buttery-flakiness without feeling too heavy. I really enjoyed the pillowy texture of the pain au chocolat, which included a generous amount of chocolate folded inside. Paired with a cafe au lait, I was in heaven. The bakery is small yet inviting, and there was no seating indoors or outdoors. While I was hoping to enjoy my pastry on-the-go, it started pouring outside, so I was forced to huddle underneath the awning while I consumed my pain au chocolat. While I'd definitley come back for another pain au chocolat, I would also want to sample their savory pastries on my next visit.
