I also tried their apple crumble tart and it was out of this world deliciousness! The staff tried very hard to understand my basic French mixed with English... They take cards which helps! The only thing I don't recommend is their pre made panini sandwich. I thought it was egg salad, but it was some type yellow chicken mayo dressed sandwich with unknown yellow flavor. I'd highly recommend a trip to this delightful bakery for baked goods!

The baguette was very crunchy and soft on the inside with a fragrant sourdough smell that not all places have. It definitely makes it more flavorful. The apple turnover was very crunchy as well with fresh apples inside. Almond croissant had a very nice texture with the paste. They really know how to make things crunchy here. Would definitely recommend if in Paris and the earlier you go in the morning the better. The prices are also very reasonable!

It did get longer as we ate our pastries closer to 9:30am. The pastries are all displayed out, with nothing really covering them. There were a TON of bees swarming the bakery and the baked goods, which was a little unsettling. We got one croissant and one escargot praline. The croissant looked very unique, not like your typical croissant cone shape. It was the first of our many croissants so I used this as a baseline. Definitely buttery but a bit too crispy for me. I like some flakiness but also some soft interior for my croissants. The escargot praline was good but tasted a bit old in my opinion. After our trip ended, there were other spots I definitely would rank higher than Du Pain et des Idees, and would rather go to those if I ever visited Paris again.

This was such a treat! Paris and France overall has incredible sweets but the last thing I was…read moreexpecting was to fall in love with was organic Lebanese ice cream. All the reviews are accurate - it is stretchy, sweet but not overly so, creamy and delicious. I read some people are overwhelmed by the amount of pistachios but it was the perfect crunchy component to the sweetness of the ice cream. I also LOVED the cone and fresh whipped cream. Def plan to go back again before I depart my beloved Paris.

But the employees came and took orders of everyone in line to maximize efficiency. I got apricot and lemon, which was so refreshing. My husband got the special, milk cream covered with pistachios. It was kind of silly that they charged like 6€ to add the pistachios. The ice cream was good. Not the best I've ever had. But nice on a sweltering day.

It's a very cute spot which has an upstair seating area as well. We sat downstairs by the window and it was very nice. We sat down for a few minutes before someone brought out a menu for us. She seemed to be super busy between being a cashier and a waiter and was running around but was very friendly and attentive. They do have a big menu with a lot of choices for dessert, boba tea, and other cold drinks. We honestly wanted to order an extensive ordered Matcha Bingsu and taro and grass jelly dessert. They both came in very generous portions. The bingsu had super strong matcha flavor which I like. My taro tapioca dessert is also very pleasant and refreshing. I definitely want to come back to try different items on the menu.
