The service was great - everyone only spoke French though, so be prepared to write down what you want on your phone if you only speak English. There's plenty of signs with both French and English translations. The ambiance inside was beautiful and clean. There was also plenty of seating and great places to take pictures. I'd recommend coming here daily for breakfast or for a sweet treat if you're staying in the area since there's so many options to try from.

Great pastry and sandwiches. Not busy and friendly staff. Good choice to pick up food in the go.read more

Came Out of the catacombs cold and hungry. Decided to stop…read morein based on the Yelp reviews. We were warmly greeted at the door by the two waiters. Got situated and got ready to order. They were happy to help us even though we spoke no French beyond "merci". They helped us with the wine selection and getting our food. We had the escargot, which was amazing! Definitely get it. Also, the beef tartare was the best we had during our time in Paris. During the entire meal, the waiters didn't stop moving through the restaurant, making sure everyone was well taken care-of. We definitely got the feeling that the is a neighborhood bistro that we happened to walk into. If we are ever in the neighborhood again, go and eat here. Also, don't know why this is tagged closed. Just ate there....

There are a plentiful amount of tables, but only one or maybe two waiters, but don't worry, they get to you quickly to take your order and O was impressed at how quickly the food arrived after ordering. The four in our group all loved our food, which ranged from the herring in oil, kids burgers, chicken with cream sauce, salad or a side of green beans. They were all great. We were excited to recognize locals eating here. It was a great lunch and I topped it off with an espresso to help me adjust from the time difference for my trip and couldn't recommend this place any more.

Place d'ltalie offers a nearby mall with many favorite stores and boutiques to shop! The southern part of the district is also known as the Paris Chinatown partly from immigrants from Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, China, etc. Although, some reference that this area would not be the best place to get cheap, good quality Chinese or Vietnamese food. Some of the under budget hotels are found in this area. We visited during 6/13/12-6/15/12 as part of our Euro trip. I purchased some goodies, gifts, and an extra luggage to fit everything at the italie centre commercial mall by lle-de-france. We also dined at a few restaurants in the area in addition to this bakery for breakfast during our stay. This cute and cozy boulangerie (means song of bread in french) is nestled in the corner right by the police station across the street. I didn't get her name but the French lady was super sweet. She gave some recommendations on the pastries and breads. I normally get a chocolat au pain and cafe au lait like most native French in the morning. There were so many pastries to choose from and so little time. On our last day in Paris, she suggested we try the Brioche with a apricot jam center. I've been wanting to get croquembouche (choux pastry balls piled into a cone with threads of caramel) but they don't offer that type of pastry. Nonetheless, they have very good quality breads and fresh baked pastries and sweets in the morning. In addition to baked goods, there's also café au lait or just café, café noisette, café crème, and chocolat chaud (hot chocolate), and various teas. An extra bonus is the prices stay low, locals sit as long as they wait to drink/dine/talk, and it never gets crowded. If we stayed any longer, there is no doubt we'll gain extra inches on our waistlines! Gotta love Hub for his sense of adventure and passion for walking that we were able to find these great spots!

Even though the cashier doesn't speak English she was very nice and patience with us. Lots of seating area and couches. More seating area in the basement(downstairs). You can sit for as long as you want. We sat for 3 hours waiting for our flight and they didn't kick us out. I think this place only takes cash cause when I pulled out my card to pay the cashier said something in French that I couldn't understand. Luckily my husband had some euros left and she seems to approve of it. Pro: Wifi & clean restroom, nice customer service, great coffee and lots of seating areas &CHARGING STATION!
