We enjoyed a delicious sandwich on a fresh baguette, a beautiful fruit tart and a coffee for $8.50 euros. Totally hit the spot!

There are many choices for croissants in Toulouse but the best in the city are here. We have lived…read morein Toulouse for 5 months and have visited many patisseries and boulangeries but their croissants are incredible. The staff is kind and friendly (even though our french is poor) and always greet us with a smile. Do not miss their special baguette ble dur...it's really, really good. Our only problem with La Boulangerie Saint-George is that it's too close to our home and the temptation is too great!

We stayed about 20 minutes drive away for a month and every few days made the trek over to get some - and every time it was superb. I could write a volume about how fantastic it is... but really, just go get some and see for yourself. You'll thank me (and curse me.. because no other bread will ever compare!).

As is usually the case here in France, there was a wonderful assortment of the usual pastries and bread - baguettes, croissants, eclairs, etc. Hubby really enjoyed his eclair. However, what makes this a standout are the macarons. There have about a dozen different types. We bought chocolate, pistachio, raspberry, creme brûlée, and cassis. All were well-made - crunchy on the outside but soft on the inside. My favorites are cassis (simultaneously tart and sweet) and the creme brûlée, which was filled with a yummy buttercream. I am thankful that this is not near my house. I would put on 10 pounds in a week scarfing these down. A must visit in Toulouse.

Macaroons are yummy. Hard not to over buy. Seemed pricey but not sure if that's the market rate.read more

No, "as good as it gets" works just fine for Pain et Passion, a lovely little bread shop serving pastries, coffees and other treats along the water to locals and travelers alike. Pull up a chair on the back patio and enjoy the view, the sweets and the coffee. Life is good. *Their selection of breads is quite exemplary, pick up a few loaves for home!
