absolutely the best crossiants we have found in Paris
Jay M.

This corner bakery/patisserie is located near the Republic Square area! It's a very typical Paris bakery, and they offer anything from pastries to quiches! Everything tastes and smell fresh baked! I would skip an opulent breakfast over their espresso and croissant any day! one of my personal goal is to find the best croissants in Paris each trip, and yet consistently, they have the best tasting ones, which are so flakey on the outside yet buttery and fluffy on the inside!

Chausson aux pommes
Aagdolla G.

All pastry was really good. My fav was the Quiche. The Quiche have onions and egg and the texture is soft and taste awesome when it is hot(first photo) Second photo has apple in the middle and is good because of how much apple is in the middle. Text is not quiet soft as a croissant but thicker as a whole when bitten. Third photo has raspberry in the middle and is good. This version of croissant has more crunchy texture but not too hard. The flavor is inside inside of the red outside.

Sinful! This super busy and appropriately named bakery (Norman sins) is a wonderful and good value spot for lunch! The display cases are filled with luscious looking cakes, pastries and savoury lunch options. We managed to restrain ourselves and just have a salad and quiche - but it sure was tempting!!

Pretty neat exterior -- apparently means 'sins of the Normans'

Have been 6-8 times and in my lightly informed opinion it's the third best I have tried after Carton and French Bastards. I love the pistachio flan, the 'pudding' (bread pudding), the coconut flan and the pain aux raisins. My mother-in-law also loved the pain au chocolat and the brioche with sugar. The only not great thing I've tried is the croissants which are often overdone. That said I will gladly buy a tranche of 'pudding' and walk on over to the canal to sit and enjoy it.

Assorted goodies.

The pastries here are so insanely delicious that they can close on the weekends. Because there are so many people that want to eat their delicious croissant, pain au chocolat, or anything else during the week that they don't need the extra cash, and they obviously know how to live. Here's what you do: 1. Buy yourself anything at all. 2. Add in the pain aux raisins because it's my favorite. 3. Go eat it all by the canal. 4. Rejoice because this magical castle of deliciousness exists, and happiness can be bought there for under €5.

Our selections with some fresh squeezed OJ!

Dealing with a bit of jet lag we couldn't sleep past 430 am. I think my hunger pangs had something to do with it as well. So now awake I get on Yelp. Trying to find something open is next to impossible. So here we are doing our do diligence in our search of our next epicurean experience. Then Bam!!! My fiancé finds this place that opens at 6 am. I didn't even notice that it had 5 star reviews until I decided to write my own review of the establishment. Well, this place did not disappoint whatsoever!! The pastries were out of this world delicious!!! I uploaded a picture of our selections. I say, " try them all"!

Pizza
Gab G.

Best bakery/cafe I found on my entire trip! They've got multiple cases full of every type of pastry, plus a section with prepared food. Went totally crazy and tried: + mixed green salad with cantaloupe and prosciutto + mini pizza with tomatoes and pesto + peach tart + chocolate bread + almond croissant + plain croissant + apple turnover The peach tart was perfection. The almond croissant was as amazing as any I've ever eaten. The plain one may be the best I've ever had. The apple turnover was bomb.com. Only disappointment was the chocolate bread, which was too tough and not worth the effort. The "real food" (the salad and pizza) was also delicious, not to mention much needed after the pastry marathon. They heated the pizza up there which is a plus, and have a few tables to sit at.

Large selection, something for everyone. We had an almond and chocolate pastry, strawberry tart, a potatoes and sardine cold salad, tomato and mozzarella bread, and a salmon and chive quiche. All of which were so yummy.

Croissant

I've had a fair amount of croissants in France, living here for over a year and it's easy to find mediocre croissants but hard to find exceptional croissants. My friends and I had gone down the street to Du Pain et des Idees for escargots and they had gotten a croissant there the day before, which was smaller, more expensive and not as good as the croissants here. For just a little over a euro, you can get a delicious, fresh, flaky croissant. It has flaky layers and it was crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside, just as it should be. Overall, a wonderful place with a wide variety of pastries, breads and other viennoiseries. Worth a visit if you're in the area and craving something sweet.

Mont Blanc & Tartine Citron
Rochelle Q.

It was Valentines Day and I was craving some desserts. This was near our Airbnb so we walked over and saw some really cute Valentine's Day themed desserts. I wanted to buy everything but I knew I wouldn't finish all of them. We went around closing time so they didn't have that much left.

Beignet aux pomme
Adrienne F.

We wanted to sample a variety of artisan bakery items while we were in Paris and boy did we get lucky that our hotel was a short walk away! We happened to visit around lunch time on a weekday and it was so busy but the clerks were extremely efficient and very kind! I am fairly comfortable rattling off French food items, but if I was unclear, she took a moment to confirm and it went smoothly. If you visit in autumn, do not miss their seasonal apple beignets! Lovely place. I hope to go back one day!

Sweet Lord of tasty treats. I don't know that you will find a better situation to be in when hungry just arriving from the airport. Coffee, Sandwich and Quiche all taken to the Republique Square for a nice little lunch. Perfect! 5 Stars for obvious reasons above.

escargot
Willy W.

Located next to Place de La Republique, this artisan boulangerie and patisserie serves many locals. It's right between Republique metro station and Canal St Martin. I'm lucky enough to live within 3-5 minutes of this place, and have yet to eat anything that isn't delicious here. The staff is generally very patient and nice. They speak some English if necessary. I usually just buy some stuff to go, but they also have a little bar where you can eat your croissant and cafe. Also don't miss out on their sweets and little stand for sandwiches and panini's. It's really very tasty. Too bad they are closed on weekends.

When you come to Paris, you just have to visit Angelina--it's quintessential Parisian indulgence…read moreand exactly what you come here for! We stopped by the flagship Rue de Rivoli location right by Place de la Concorde for breakfast. We arrived right around 9:30 AM and walked straight in with zero wait. Talk about great timing, by the time we sat down and looked outside, a huge line had already wrapped down the sidewalk. The decor is beautiful and timeless, pure classic French elegance with the chandeliers, mirrors, and gilded details. We were seated upstairs on the second floor, which gave us a lovely, relaxed vantage point away from the entrance rush. We ordered their breakfast set, which came loaded with two flaky croissants, fresh baguette with butter and jams, two eggs Benedict, fresh juice, and, of course, their legendary chocolat chaud africain. That hot chocolate is as thick, rich, and velvety as advertised, almost like drinking liquid ganache. We also couldn't leave without ordering their famous chestnut Mont-Blanc pastry, which was silky, sweet, and totally lived up to the hype. Even though the dining room filled up quickly and was bustling, the staff was attentive, polished, and very efficient. Loved the entire experience from start to finish, an absolute treat!

I believe there are two locations, and from what I understand, they don't take reservations, so be prepared to arrive early and wait in line. We arrived around 9:30 AM with a party of five girls and waited about 20 minutes for a table, which honestly wasn't bad at all. The menu is extensive, but they also offer three brunch options that I thought were very reasonably priced. I went with the €45 option, and there was SO much food! Pastries, a breakfast croissant, their famous hot chocolate, and even dessert--it was the perfect amount and such a fun way to try a little bit of everything. Everything was incredibly fresh and delicious. And I absolutely loved the slow, relaxed Parisian pace. Our waitress was so kind and attentive, and we never felt rushed. Instead, we were able to sit back, enjoy our food, and really soak in the experience. Between the beautiful setting, delicious food, and relaxed atmosphere, this is definitely a must-try for a Parisian brunch experience!

Since it was a warm summer afternoon, I went for the Chocolat Glacé, their iced chocolate, which was a refreshing choice after walking around the neighborhood. We were too full to try any of the pastries, but the display was beautiful and made it very tempting to come back. In addition to their signature hot chocolate, they also offer a wonderful selection of French pastries, macarons, croissants, crêpes, and other sweet treats. One thing that's helpful to know before visiting is that the Montmartre branch is a takeaway pastry boutique rather than a full-service café or restaurant. Before arriving, I had imagined it would be more of a traditional Parisian tea salon with table service, but this location is designed for grabbing a drink or pastry to enjoy while exploring Place du Tertre. Knowing that beforehand helps set the right expectations. The staff member who assisted us at the counter was friendly and welcoming, making for a pleasant stop. The location itself is part of the experience. Right in the heart of Place du Tertre, surrounded by artists and the charm of Montmartre, it's an easy place to pop into for a sweet break while sightseeing. If you're visiting during the warmer months, I'd definitely recommend the iced chocolate. And if you have a bigger appetite than we did, the pastry selection looked impressive enough to make me want to return just for dessert.

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.

"Mon petit Claire, you were not the ball and chain! You are the Zeppelin!" - Paris, je t'aime…read more Do you believe in serendipity like I do? I was walking solo thru the historic Passage Jouffroy, tiled walkway with high glass ceiling, around since 1836, is when i first met Le Valentin. Nestled between French cafés, boutiques, and a bookstore or two, is where you'll find lovely her! She looks so tempting! Oooh la la! On a whim I decide on breakfast. And oui oui let me tell you how serendipity was alive and well for this Monsieur. I am warmly greeted in French is when I decided to sit and eat a warm breakfast like a true Parisian would do. Café seats on the walkway, this time I decide to dine inside to soak up the interior vibe. Such a warm and delicious ambiance with baked pastries, breads, & confections everywhere! I am handed the menu, all in French mind you, after all, we are in Paris, right?! ;) After perusing the menu and suggestions from the lovely all-in-one, hostess, waitress, barista... I decide on a breakfast set. My choice of scrambled eggs & bacon, fresh garden salad paired perfectly with light dressing, Pain au chocolat and le nutty toast with the freshest Fig jam brought a perfect balance to life. Freshly squeezed Orange juice to compliment & oh la la Cappuccino! The most adorable Parisian barista made me forget about yesterday. She was not only just the hostess, waitress, barista, but also a darn good singer :D As I enjoyed breakfast, I looked at all the patrons around me, tourists, Parisians, a toddler pointing at all the boujee confections, and the lovely lady sipping Latté in one lonely corner. Everyone seemed so happy. A moment in time that will live in me forever je t'aime

Petit endroit pour déjeuner qui a été recommander vivement…read more Le droit est très petit, ce qui permet un ambiance plus relaxe et détendu. Situés dans un des passage de Paris, cela réduit encore plus le bruit. Il y a une petite terrasse à l'extérieur. Le service est très courtois et gentil. Le menu est tout de même petit. Plusieurs pâtisseries sont disponible dans le comptoir que l'ont peu amener ou manger sur place. J'ai prit le menu qui inclus des oeufs brouillé. Le tout viens avec un pain au chocolat ou croissant, chocolat chaud ou café, les oeufs et un pain. J'ai prit un extra pour le bacon. J'ai trouvé le pain sec et sans goût, une chance qu'il y avait beurre (congelé) et de la confiture qui était bonne. Le pain au chocolat était OK. Le chocolat chaud était un chocolat de machine lavazza donc rien d'exceptionnel. Les oeufs quant à oeufs sont un hit and miss. Ce ne sont pas des oeufs pour tous le monde. Je crois qu'ils mettent trop de lait ou de crème et cela les rends très liquides. C'était passable. Je dois dire que le plus surprenant fut le prix final. Disons que pour ce prix là, je m'attendais à beaucoup mieux. Pas un mauvais endroit certain, d'ailleurs les multiples pâtisseries semble vraiment bonne et j'en prendrais sûrement en passant devant. Mais je ne reprendrai pas le menu déjeuner, beaucoup trop cher pour ce que c'est.
