Delicious crepes in Paris with very friendly staff. Muchas gracias Antonio por el servicio, bien amable !!!

Banana and strawberries crepe

Crepes was delicious- Antonio- el número uno- was amazing- Very courteous and greeted everyone on their native language. The place is busy-

For the price point and location on Rue de Rivoli, this place is alright. The servers are very friendly! My husband and I both had crepes and they were fine. The plates they serve them on are cute with the Eiffel Tower hand-drawn in mayo. The place itself is tiny but they have a few tables outside. It's not as cute of a setup as other places where you can "watch the world go by" but it's nice to sit outside to enjoy your meal (unless there are smokers just hanging around without regard for the diners, like there were when we were there).

Stumbled upon this cafe and was happy with our food and especially our service. We had a few ham and cheese in a crossaint, which my son surpringly liked. I loved how it was served on a plate with a message. The staff was super friendly and that is the main reason they deserve five stars.

Loved it. We wanted baguettes and found this place. It's a tiny place on the sidewalk with outdoor seating. The server was pretty funny. The price is right. Around 8 euro for a baguette. Highly recommend.

The food here was great! This was our first meal in Paris as it was close to our hotel. Luck find! We went back multiple times for quick meals and dessert. The sandwiches were great, the crepes were exceptional and we fell in love with the Nutella and ice cream crepe. "Tom Cruise, Jr." is great- extremely friendly, fun and creative. He welcomed us in and chatted with us on the first visit and remembered us and details when we returned at a later date. And was friendly and entertaining to others eating as well. Incredibly friendly and glad we found this place. Very reasonable prices. So fun sitting on the sidewalk enjoying the views.

Oh my God sandwich

Great food. We shared a vegetarian crepe and "Oh my God" sandwich. Both were amazing! Reasonable pricing and the owner was great to talk too.

Fantastic apple juice

Do you ever come across employees who are so engaging that you wish you could clone them and put them in every establishment you visit? That's what we found here in the Happy Caffé. Our guy (who called himself Tom Cruise) was so quick-witted and charming, he went out of his way to engage with everyone who walked in the door. For his Spanish customers he introduced himself as Antonio Banderas Jr. - lol. "Tom" kept us laughing the whole time with his banter and humor, not to mention excellent service. Our ham and cheese crepe and Nutella, strawberry and banana crepe were both good and came with the extra flourish of an Eiffel Tower drawing on the plate. My bottled apple juice was sooo good. Wish they'd sell that in the States! I might not say the crepes were five star but Happy Caffé lives up to its name - you leave there feeling five star happy and satisfied thanks to the staff. It's conveniently located near the Louvre and Tuileries Garden.

Chez Alain Miam Miam - Miam Miam Sandwich

Chez Alain Miam Miam is easily one of the best sandwich spots in Paris and absolutely worth the…read morehype, even with the long lines. We tried the jambon sandwich and chicken baguette, paired with a golden ale beer and coffee. Both sandwiches were outstanding--freshly made with incredible bread, generous fillings, and a perfect balance of textures. The strong cheese they offer on the side is a must; it pairs beautifully with the sandwiches, and the staff even lets you try it before deciding, which is a great touch. We did go around 2pm and unfortunately the pastrami was already sold out, which speaks to how popular it is. We also waited about 30-40 minutes in line, but it moved steadily and didn't feel too painful. We were lucky to find a spot to dine in, though most people grab their food to go. Service was friendly and quick despite the constant rush. The atmosphere is more grab-and-go than sit-down, with very limited indoor seating. Most people take their sandwiches to enjoy at a nearby park, which actually adds to the experience. Be prepared for a queue, but it moves faster than expected--and the payoff is absolutely worth it for what might be the best sandwich in the city.

We had came here and got our sandwiches toasted the first time and we didn't like it at all as a…read morewere under the impression only the bread would be toasted not the whole sandwich. All the veggies being warm put us off. We decided to come back and give it a try untoasted and it was way better! We were just sad the ham was sold out because it was very good ham.

They allow one group at a time into the shop for a fully curated Jamon Beurre experience. Yep, that is all you can get here. Ham sandwiches, but it's a much more involved experience than that. When you walk in, there is an entire wall with a cooler displaying every kind of ham possible. You have to pick whether you want cured or just baked ham. What region? They offer Italian, French, Spanish and then you have to narrow it down to the region! Then you do the same with the cheese. I ended up getting two sandwiches, the cured ham from Spain's basque country paired with Ossau-Iraty, or basque sheep milk cheese. My other sandwich was a French baked ham sandwich with comte. Which was the winner? I have to say, the cured meat from Spain was out of this world and in our taste test, was the top winner. I know, I shouldn't say that in France!

I came around 2:30pm on a Wednesday and there was only a very short line. They do take groups one…read moreby one so the speed at which the line will move depends on how quickly those ahead of you decide. The service is friendly and personalized. The owner is a very kind Italian woman who is very knowledgeable about the meats and the cheeses. She makes sure that you end up with a pairing you are happy with! They serve jambon beurre sandwiches which is basically just ham and butter on a baguette. However, you can add cheese for 4.50 euro. The decision tree really is: 1) cured vs cooked ham 2) cheese or no cheese 3) cow vs sheep's cheese. My husband and I both went for the cooked ham since this one is more traditional in France. The cooked ham has different flavors out of which we got one with truffle ham and the other with Bergamont which is a citrus fruit. We both got cheese: the truffle ham was paired with a buttery and sweet cow's emmental, while the Bergamont we paired with a nutty and earthy sheep's Ossau-Iraty. Both pairings worked beautifully! The baguette was perfect. It had a substantial crust without being too hard and had a fluffy and moist inside. The quality of the products was evidently very high. There is no seating inside so we took ours to the Temple Square a few blocks away since it was a beautiful day! Highly recommend you try. Not sure I would use longer than 20 min out of a trip to line up for it so I suggest you come during off hours.

Everything looked good and we decided to wait in the obscenely long line. The croissant and pistachio vienoiserie were greasy and underbaked. The insides were raw and slimy; same for the cookies. The lamination on the pain au chocolate was around 990 layers short of a millefeuille. We tried something at the St. Germaine branch. It was much better, but still barely edible.

I…read moreguess a lot can change in three years, and I'm sure there are a lot of really delicious pastries and baked goods available. I really only gave this bakery 3 stars in good faith that they have better options that I just didn't try on this visit. But one thing is for sure, I have had much better baguettes in Paris. I walked into this bakery around 6 in the evening, so granted the baguettes had probably been sitting there all day. The one I got was borderline stale, the outside crust was not very crispy, and the whole thing just lacked that delicious bready flavor. But one would hope to be able to get a fresh(er) baguette from such a reputable bakery at any time. Maybe if I go back, I'll try for earlier in the day. Additionally, there were a LOT of bees in the display case gathered on some of the fruitier looking pastries. Not something that can necessarily be avoided, but definitely didn't make me want to order anything from in there. My friend did get a coffee eclair however and he said it wasn't that good. Honestly I could tell just from looking at it that it wasn't going to be worth the price. The coffee creme stuff on top was weirdly shiny and made the whole thing look like it came out of a box or something. For comparison, I had a coffee eclair from this little no-name bakery a couple days earlier and it was delicious! Just the look of it was fresher and more professional. If you do decide to go to this place, aim for early in the day to increase your chances of success. But in the city of patisseries, I'm sure you can do better.

Charcuterie did come with good presentation like wood board or anything but it was a good portion. I didn't read the menu closely and ordered charcuterie as soon as saw it. I wanted to have some cheese with it. I should have ordered assiette royale which comes with both meat and cheese. I also ordered Andrea which comes with burrata. It was great with salad and lemon shavings but anchovies were pretty salty. I suggest to eat it with some kind of bread. Between that two orders, I was stuffed and couldn't even finish it.

We sat outside at one of their small table on the street. It reminded me of eating street foods in Asia; except this is in Paris. Service was good but could be better if they can explain us what to order on their menu. I liked the Burrata which was creamy with tangy salad and anchovies. It was a great appetizer for us. Charcuterie came with a paper box in to-go or take-out style. It had variety of cured meat slices. Meats had good flavors, textures, tastes from salty to spicy and tangy from lemon slices. It was good to pair with Burrata. Recommend this place in Paris!
