Amazing restaurant, specially for breakfast. Centrally located. Service was fast and friendly. Loved the style and decor. The food was great, freshly squeezed juices and a hot chocolate to die for! read more

Right on the Plage des Vosges, we went here at least 4 or 5 times for a light breakfast before heading out for the day. Honestly, we saw no reason to try and find a different morning café; it was perfect in every way. Almost every morning (several hours before breakfast), I'd also stop in for coffees and perhaps a croissant to go. The only cavaet is, it's not particularly cheap, but nothing in Marais is. read more

Overrated and overpriced for what you get. The hot chocolate is good, sure. But 12€ for it? Insane. I had hot chocolate that was just as good at random cafes. I also had a ham and cheese sandwich for a snack, it was huge so I'll give them that, but it was pretty unremarkable. The location is nice, service was decent. Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else, or at the very least only get hot chocolate here and eat somewhere else. read more

Myyy myyy myyyy. If I never thought about breakfast being amazing before, this place has surely changed my mind!! The eggs were amazingly scrambled light and fluffy. The cheese!!! Amazing!! The chive and tomato were a perfect touch to the dish. Added so much more flavor. The croissant was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The cappuccino spoke to my sole. Too bad today is our last day in paris because this would def be breakfast tomorrow! read more

Listen. I went here to get hot chocolate because I saw it on social media. I'm not ashamed (okay, maybe just a little) but, as Edith Piaf says- je ne regrette rien. The beautiful silver pot came with two cups of chocolate, and of course a huge goblet of whipped cream. I probably should have gotten something savory, or at least a croissant - but I also got a kouign amman since we were about to leave Paris and I hadn't gotten one yet. It was the most buttery, sugary, caramelized, delicious pastry I've ever had in my life. I couldn't even finish it and definitely committed a faux pas by walking away with half of it in my pocket- but it was a perfect snack that afternoon. I've never felt such a sugar rush and immediate crash as I have that day- and I'd do it all again. If you're on the French about a 12€ cup of hot chocolate- please just do it and never look back! read more

I heard a lot of good things about the pastries here on Yelp. So I decided to come here with B.We both got the express carette for 10,50 Euros. The express carette came with the choice of either hot chocolate or cafe and 3 small pastries or one big pastry item. The pastries and snacks are definitely on the pricier end. Their pastries were good but not wow. I would say just slightly above mediocre. They have been around since 1927 and they are very well known so that is why they can charge what they are charging. I have to say their hot chocolate is definitely the best I had so far in Paris. Their cakes and macaroons look really good. They have two prices for their cakes. A sit down price and a take out price. I highly suggest taking out because its cheaper and since they are located right in front of the park, why not take it over there. They have indoor and outdoor seating. The chairs and tables are pushed super close to each other. Seating is definitely not the comfiest. Service was ok. read more

Carette is a LOVELY cafe to visit in Paris. This is a very well known and popular place in Paris and there are good reasons why! The ambiance, the service, the tasty croissants & hot chocolate...I could go on and on! 10/10 recommend going to Carette if you are a local or even just visiting Paris! read more

I thought Carette was fine. I think the name and location drive business, as breakfast was average. Anyone who knows how to scramble eggs can do it as they do but for far less than 17+ euros. The same goes for making coffee. A cappuccino should never cost 9 euros. The staff was friendly and efficient, and of course, the atmosphere was great. read more

the food was amazing. i always love my french breakfast especially my baguettes. the service was fast and we got a table right away- i think the trick is to go right when it opens i went at about 9:15 on a Sunday morning. i got the famous hot chocolate and that was the best thing i have ever drank before. the whipped cream was so creamy and delicious i ended up eating a whole thing of it with my spoon. i visited angelina the day before to try their hot chocolate as well so I can compare and i can definitely say Carette's is better. the hot chocolate wasn't as thick but it had a way better consistency. it's very filling though so I wouldn't order a big breakfast if i were you unless ur starving. anyway i'm still dreaming constantly about this hot chocolate so whoever goes here just know it's worth the hype and even if there's a line wait it. read more

Love this cafe! It has a great patio and open dining area. It is super popular so make sure to line up early!! The croissant, pain au chocolat and coffee were great and just what I needed for breakfast. It's also nearby the Eiffel Tower so I got a nice view while walking to the cafe. read more

glad I stumbled upon this place. I took advantage of their carette brunch. I started off with a chocolate, orange juice and brioche. Their fresh squeezed orange was the highlight, it was fresh and sweet (but not too sweet). Not to be dramatic but it was the best fresh squeezed orange juice i've had in my life. Their eggs were delicious, very glad I added tomato sauce on mine! It really brought everything together. 10/10. read more

We stumbled upon Carette and were so glad we did! We went midday on a Saturday and despite the line, the wait was not horrible. We were disappointed that the croissants were sold out, but hey, it's a Saturday so that was to be expected. Recommended: quiche chevre (!!) with side salad, scrambled eggs (best we've had in Paris), bread and cute butter Is the fresh orange juice worth it? Eh, maybe yes, maybe no. Would I get the hot chocolate next time? Definitely yes. Service: 12 stars, super friendly and gave us a good choice of seating The square across the way is also beautiful and an excellent place to sit after your meal. read more

We dined here a few times to enjoy breakfast, dinner, and treats. The service is like no other and they are always busy. My daughter came to France for the hot chocolate and they did not disappoint. The food was reasonably priced but thought 15 euros for an order of scrambled eggs was a little much. They were delicious though. We would definitely come back for the decadence. read more

Delicious! We found this place by accident near our hotel. There is often a line outside, but the line moves quickly. Everything looks and sounds delicious! We tried the hot chocolate which is a specialty. It was exquisite. The scrambled eggs are soft and perfectly cooked. We tried with chives, ham and cheese, and French mushrooms. All were equally delicious. The croissant is light and fluffy. Oh and the coffee! This is a perfect place to start your day in Paris. Excellent service and we highly recommend! read more

IF I COULD GIVE 0 STARS, I WOULD! My experience here was pretty horrible. i was very excited to come here and try the hot chocolate after seeing it online and from friends. Once we got there, we were seated and treated fairly rudely by the waitress after we told her we just wanted the hot chocolate. She quickly removed the table cloth and the setting that was already on the table. Then when we told her we only wanted one hot chocolate to share, she told us we must order two with little to no explanation. I was confused but willing to go with it. Then when the hot chocolate came out, it was only one regular pot and one whip cream with two cups. I asked her, is this two orders? Wouldn't it make sense for there to be two pots and two whip creams along with the two cups? What she gave us looked the same as if I were there by myself and ordered it myself but for doubled the prices... makes no sense and the only explanation she gave me was "trust me". What a horrible experience. I would never recommend this place to anyone and would never go back. I should've known when I've seen online that this place is only popular for social media and the hot chocolate is lackluster/expensive. This was exactly the case and the staff was rude. Please do better next time as I would never want anyone to have the same experience I had. read more

Delicious pastries and quite possibly one of my favorite hot chocolates! The croissants and tea sandwiches are good as well.

I went there t try their hot chocolate and pastries and unfortunately I was not impressed at all. The pastries were a little dry and there are many other places in Paris in which the chocolate is way better. read more

The food, service and ambiance are all perfect--with the precision and politesse you might expect in Paris. AND truly the bar is set here for scrambled eggs which, when done this well (creamy, golden, just enough salt) prove that brilliance is simplicity. Also terrific pain au chocolat. A beautiful little breakfast. read more

We wanted to have an elegant hot chocolate experience but less touristy than the big names. This was perfect! Husband had the full breakfast, I had the pot of coffee, and daughter had the hot chocolate. Delicious almond croissant, and fresh baguette. Fresh whipped cream for the chocolate and I added some to my coffee. Friendly service and elegant interior. read more

Food was ok. Limited menu. Our waiter was very nice but had many tables to cover. The bakery/desserts are terrific though.

When in Paris, you must try Carette cafe and I'm here to give you the full breakdown to ensure you get the best experience possible. First, arrive with plenty of time to ensure you get sat as this is a popular place. Once at your table, order a croissant and "chocolat chaud" (hot chocolate) with creme! It arrives piping hot and with the cutest/dainty dinnerware to serve with! The key is to pour yourself a hefty portion of the hot chocolate, add a dollop of whipped creme, then dip that deliciously flakey croissant into the pool of chocolate....bon appetite! This spot earned its five star review fair and square. We tried several others in order to compare which hot chocolate of Paris took the prize, and Carette won by a landslide! Everywhere in Paris is an experience so take in the atmosphere, maybe snap a few photos because every little detail is gorgeous, and take your time. Service is much different in Europe so request water from the moment your sat if that's of priority for you. We had an absolutely exceptional experience! read more

Lovely lunch spot near the Trocadero - not far from the Eiffel Tower. We had the set price brunch - hot beverage (I had the sinful hot chocolate), pastry, toast and jam, eggs and fresh squeezed juice. It was all yummy and nice service with English speaking waitress:) On the way out I had one of the best salted caramel macarons I've had in a long long time. Mmmmm. read more

This place is absolute perfection. If I lived in Paris I would frequent here. Tea, pastries, and breakfast are the highlights. It is located in the place de vosgues which is a beautiful park. I came with 2 friends and we were seated immediately. The servers were very attentive. The eggs served were a large portion. I got the brunch option which included my choice of coffee or tea, eggs, and croissant. Everything was delightful and delicious. The ambience is Parisian as ever and it feels like you are where the locals are. A sweet place to get away in the morning. Although it is in the middle of Paris, it is a much quieter area. Very friendly and inviting. read more

It's such a treat to come here when I visit Paris! It's located in Le Marais, which is a beautiful neighborhood to visit, especially on Sundays, when most other shops in Paris are closed. Get a table, order some coffee, breakfast, and obviously, get some macarons! Once you have a macaron here, you will never find another that will parallel outside of Paris. Take your time, eat your food and enjoy the people watching. read more

Extra charges without telling you. Cold bread. Tourist trap, plenty of better food close by. Angelina is better.

my family and i went here on our first trip to paris mainly for the famous hot chocolate!! we kept our expectations low because we knew this place was super touristy, but it did not disappoint!! i ordered the smoked salmon club sandwiches and the hot chocolate for dessert and both items were delicious!! the sandwiches were adorable and tasted amazing (as did the coleslaw that was served with it) and the hot chocolate was amazing as well! my sister and i both ordered it (we ordered two orders) and they brought out one pot that i assumed had two orders worth inside because there was so much left over. i wish i could've brought the extra home with me!! the only negatives i would mention is that the table we were sat at was really close to the table next to us (but this is not uncommon at a parisian bistro) and our server was very short in her interactions with us (but the place is very popular so i'm sure she had a lot going on!) other than those two things, the place was adorable and we only had to wait for less than 10 minutes on a friday afternoon! read more

After having a really bad brunch at Angelina in Galeries Lafayette, my family went to Carette to eat a second brunch. Carette is located in Place des Vosges which is super charming and a great place to go on a beautiful day. I wasn't hungry after the first brunch but I had some bites of my family's food. My favorite out of all the food dishes was the onion soup! This was one of the best onion soups I've ever had. For dessert, we shared the mille feuille and a raspberry dessert. The quality of both desserts was better than any other pastry shop I visited and I thoroughly enjoyed both. I would recommend visiting Carette if you're ever in Paris! read more
