I chose…read morethe speculoos cheesecake as it was the most appealing to me as I arrived a bit late in the afternoon and some options had already been sold out. By far this was the sweetest slice of cheesecake I've had. The filling was rich and creamy, the taste of cinnamon and caramel kept building up until about halfway through where I needed to take a break and sip on my coffee. It was just too sweet and I had yet to touch the frosting topping and cookie. After a bit of water I continued. I managed to finesse a piece of cookie, a sliver of frosting and a bit of cheesecake all onto one pile on my fork resulting in a rush of pleasure as I began to devour it. All that was followed by a loss in taste due to the surge in sugary goodness. It was delicious.

First, I scoffed at the idea of paying €16 (Yay! Found the keys for Euro signs!) for a cheesecake…read more Or to specify, a *mini* cheesecake. It was my only day in the so-called "arts" district, so I figured all the fancy presentation on these goods would have the flavor to back them up. I ordered the plain cake because the other option was Oreo (lol that's trashy for an expensive place), and grinned with delight as it was put in a box AND then a decorated bag, like I'd just gone shopping for something that would last more than five minutes. It was delicious, with a very hard, dry consistency that was not very sweet. A bit on the tart side, indicating they are liberal with the sour cream, while conservative with the sugar. Definitely a great base for a more complex cake, but even though simple is good, the flavor just wasn't appealing enough for me to give it a full five stars. If you want a taste that's a bit more complex, totally go for the cupcakes. Especially tiramisu!

THE FOOD ------------------…read more+ THEEEEEE gold standard for macarons in Paris ... or anywhere for that matter. + Macarons here are a little crisp, a little pillowy softness and a whollllllle bunch of flavor. - It cost a pretty penny (about 3 Euros for 1 piece), but you won't regret it for a second when you bite into one of these addictively delicious treats. THE SERVICE ----------------------- + All class, top notch white glove service - literally - they handle the macarons with much care like it were gold! THE SURROUNDINGS ------------------------------------ + Located in the heart of the Champs-Élysées on Rue Lincoln, so, YES, it is busy like rush hour outside ... and inside. + There are 2 sides to this massive flagship location - you can either make a purchase of macarons at their store OR dine/sit down in their tea house. Both have lines to wait on, but making a purchase only takes about 10 minutes on a weekend, while dining in looks like an unimaginable wait! + The store to make a macaron purchase at has 3 tables to sit around to enjoy your purchase of delicious macarons. You MUST catch someone about to leave (like we did) in order to snag a table. RANDOM OBSERVATIONS ------------------------------------------- = Expect waits on a weekend afternoon, especially to sit down in the tea room. If you just make a store purchase, it's only about a 10 minute wait ... and you'll be thanking your legs for that. = It's a tourist destination in itself, so expect LOTS of people taking photos of this location. CONCLUSION ----------------------- = Yes, I'm from the tri-state area and they've had a Laduree in NYC since 2011, but there's alwayyyyys something special about going to one of the originals and this spot is no different.

OK, I admit it. I'm so over cupcakes. So when my cupcake loving friend dragged us down the semi…read moresketchy sex-show filled streets of Pigalle to find this cupcake shop, I definitely obliged her begrudgingly. We walked in a few minutes before closing, but the delightful vintage pink and green rockabilly atmosphere immediately perked me up. The two shop girls are seriously cool and were excited to show us their Marilyn Monroe statue in the back as well as explain (in English, woo!) their beautifully decorated cupcakes of the day. I honestly could have done without, but everything was so cute I could not resist. I ended up taking home three cupcakes that night. Blueberry and white chocolate, Raspberry and white chocolate, and something I could not understand due to language barriers. They were just my style: not too sweet. In fact they were more like fruit muffins with white chocolate drizzles and fresh fruit, and edible glitter on top. It was so beautiful, it looked like a cupcake straight out of a fairy tale. Definitely worth a stop if you're in the area to see a topless show and then craving some sweets.

Chloé's I find to be a little treasure in Paris…read more I discovered it after randomly googling things in the area when I moved to the 9th. And boy was that a surprise! I've gone not only just for a cupcake to go, but for teatime and of course brunch. The weekends it's rather full- better to get there earlier or later, but if you go on a weekday you may just be lucky enough to have the place to yourself. All the galz are dolled up in the pink kitchen and make you feel right at home. The cupcake flavors change with the days, but they are all DIVINE and eye candy for sure. Don't forget to peek in the kitchen- all is pink! Perfect place to pop in with a friend for a tea & a snack and enjoy the vintage retro atmosphere with it's dollhouse twist. Highly recommended- you won't regret it. Not sure if you can make reservations, but it is quite small, not suggested for groups over 6 unless specially reserved. Try the raspberry praline cupcake!!! Accepts credit cards.

Angelina, Paris, France -- April 12…read more Our family of four with kids ages 9 and 10 stopped here for lunch after visiting the Louvre, drawn in by its reputation for having the best hot chocolate in the world. We were looking for a place to relax and refuel, and the experience felt a bit mixed overall. Arrival and First Impressions The space is elegant with classic Parisian charm. The line moved quickly, and we were seated with a great view of the dining room. It felt refined but still comfortable. The Highlights The famous hot chocolate lived up to expectations, thick, rich, and almost more like a dessert than a drink. We also had French onion soup and an éclair, both of which were very good. The pastries were clearly well made and thoughtfully prepared. The kids had chicken tenders, which they enjoyed, even though the tomato sauce was a bit different from what they expected. The Challenges The biggest drawback was the price. The meal felt expensive for what we ordered, coming in at €154 for a fairly simple lunch. Service felt slightly rushed as they moved tables along quickly. Final Thoughts We would likely return if we were nearby and specifically craving the hot chocolate again. It is a classic Paris stop and worth trying once, but the value may not justify going out of your way unless that signature experience is high on your list.

So Angelina's fine. For me, it's a bit hyped up. My sister, loved it. She even bought their…read moreprepackaged bottle of hot chocolate to take home. This hot chocolate is decadent. It really tastes like melted chocolate with a bit of milk mixed in to make it more drinkable. We went at a bit of an off time, late morning and it wasn't overly busy. We saw our server once and I couldn't recall who he was when it came time to get the bill. I asked a hostess walking by for our check and she told me to ask our server while walking away. We were able to flag another server down eventually but the whole process just took too long. The tables for four have chairs that don't quite tuck in causing for a bit awkward seating. If you like really thick hot chocolate, give it a try but otherwise ok to miss this one. Plenty of good hot chocolate throughout the city.

The frosting on the cake was my favorite part; something about the milk/cream they used just made it taste like heaven.
