We went with the raspberry (framboise) donut (beignet), coffee macaron, and a cheese bread. They were all delicious. The jelly in the donut was amazing and I could eat the filling in its own.

There's always lines at any location you go to, but they are usually pretty quick at getting people through. You first order and pay for what you want and then you go and pick your flavors. It was such a hot day so I went with the mango sorbet and yogurt flavor in a small cup for around 4 euros. Mango flavors can be a hit or miss for me. Sometimes they taste more artificial than fresh. This one was alright with a bit of an artificial taste to it. The yogurt really wowed me! I was wanting something that was more fresher tasting instead of sweet like a chocolate and this was exactly what I needed. Sweet, but not too sweet and a little tart. Perfect for a hot summer day.

As we had been traveling all day just to get to Paris for a quick trip, we were famished for something Parisian, ideally bread! In no way did this disappoint. The two women behind the counter, pleasant and accommodating, even smiling! Financier Chocolat - 2.50 EUROS Cute square shaped moist brown butter tea cake with rich milk chocolate creamy filling. Perfection. Pain au Chocolat Flaky with perfect crumb (holes from the gas between flaky laminated dough layers) and a smidge of chocolate inside. European buttery at its finest. You can't get this in the states. Baguette There is something about getting baguette in France! Warm and thin crispy outside with tender and fluffy crumb inside, and the flavor has the right amount of fermentation and texture is proofed perfectly. Excellente. They serve it in a partial piece of square liner so you can just bite the head off and enjoy while walking down the street.

Circus Bakery, located near in the Latin Quarter and near Notre Dame, has received a lot of…read moreattention online for their cinnamon buns. The cinnamon buns here are good (and very Instagrammable), but I found them overhyped and way overpriced. Each one is 6 euros, which I don't think is justified, especially since you can easily find excellent croissants for just 1 euro. I noticed quite a few other tourists here when I visited. Circus also has a selection of sourdough breads and other pastries (including a 5 euro cardamom roll) and coffee, which I didn't try. They're card only (no cash), and there isn't much space to sit inside, so it's better to take your baked goods to go.

The baker and staff are amazing and the delicate cinnamon rolls are delish. However, you have to try the fresh and warm galettes as they are utterly sublime. And the hand made coffees are a perfect compliment.

The boutique Angelina on 108 Rue du Bac is a smaller location, helping you avoid the chaos of the long famous hot chocolate lines. A good location to go to if you just want to try the desserts and/or are in a rush. The inside of the store is bright and clean, and the workers are patient and speak English. We got the holiday special Boule Pain D'épices Agrumes (a cake covered in white chocolate, citrus, and vanilla) and the classic tiramisu. Both desserts were very pretty, I almost felt bad eating them! The cake was very moist and surprisingly not too sweet. Great undertones of citrus which paired great with the white chocolate. The tiramisu was super soft and creamy, with rich cocoa flavoring. If you come to Paris you have to try Angelina at least once -- even if it's not inside the sit down restaurant!

You can tell that he takes his work seriously and enjoys what he does. My daughter and I shared a time time order. This is specific and consists of: a pastry, macaroons, a hot drink, sandwiches, and macaroons to go. It's a pampering experience. The only thing that kept me from giving this business five stars is the presentation. I love the pretty blue boxes and small plates. However, when you think of tea or teatime you think of a bit more elaborate displays.

After leaving Pandora while waiting on the Uber, I decided to venture in this shop because it…read morelooked so cute from the outside and when on vacay, calories don't count! EVER! It was a pretty young lady working there and I politely asked if she spoke a bit of English. She spoke enough to tell me what was in the most beautiful dessert that caught my eye from the start. It was called the St. Honore and made with lots of cream and some puffy dough with a little crunch on it and also had sprinkles of a hard candy on top. I think it was a smidgen overpriced but considering the ultra cute packaging, I can understand and am willing to pay. She put my dessert in a beautiful box which was then placed in a little, similarly decorated bag with handles. The shop is really cute, colorful and borderline majorly girly looking. Don't worry boys, you'll enjoy the decor as well. I just wish I could have tried more i.e. the macarons but I was in there less than 8 minutes and was not trying to overdo it though everything looked divine! I ate goodie this while resting my poor feet for s few minutes while walking around the Louvre. idk if you can eat in there but I felt gangster doing so lol. And let me tell you, the dessert was just as heavenly as the artwork! Worth the wait instead of gobbling down in a hurry waiting on our car. The area is busy but if you're already there taking in the shopping and want to get a sugar rush, do it!

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.

We were greeted warmly by pleasant staff & the gentleman helping us gave samples of small coconut cookies (I believe they were macaroons.) The prominently-displayed madeleines caught my eye, mainly the raspberry filled (2,70 €) with a bit of jam peeking through, as well as the pistachio flavor (2,20 €) with its unmistakeable green hue. The shell-shaped cakes were sweet & spongy, as to be expected, but not markedly special. A passable pick-me-up while we strolled hilly Montmartre, but after one try, I'm not in a rush to return.

Upon stepping inside, the friendly associate behind the counter generously offered us samples of freshly-baked coconut cookies. I decided to purchase a couple of the coconut cookies as well as pistachio madeleines - one of my favorite flavors. Both tasted incredibly fresh. I couldn't resist getting a bag of the almond cookies for the road, and I later discovered that these tasted just like marzipan candy. While located in a touristy shopping area, Biscuiterie de Montmartre felt charming and stood out for their selection of high-quality cookies and sweets that are perfect for gifting.
