It was my only day in the so-called "arts" district, so I figured all the fancy presentation on these goods would have the flavor to back them up. I ordered the plain cake because the other option was Oreo (lol that's trashy for an expensive place), and grinned with delight as it was put in a box AND then a decorated bag, like I'd just gone shopping for something that would last more than five minutes. It was delicious, with a very hard, dry consistency that was not very sweet. A bit on the tart side, indicating they are liberal with the sour cream, while conservative with the sugar. Definitely a great base for a more complex cake, but even though simple is good, the flavor just wasn't appealing enough for me to give it a full five stars. If you want a taste that's a bit more complex, totally go for the cupcakes. Especially tiramisu!

I'm picky with my cheesecake since I know that Jr. Cheesecake in NY has the best cheesecake and although Berko's cheesecake can't top Jr.'s it is still very good. They have original cheesecake and other variations which is great. The cupcakes are good too but as an American I found them tiny and expensive! They are a bit dry compared to American cupcakes but good nevertheless. They have a bunch of flavors so you can let your taste buds go wild in here. Great place to check out if your taste buds are getting a little homesick and the shop itself is adorable.

From the moment you are taken back to the whole dining experience to when you leave you feel a certain way that you really can't put a price on. Maybe its the stunning decor or the immaculate service perhaps even the food but actually i think it may be the whole experience in itself. Want to get treated like royalty, then do yourself a favor and add this location to your list! That omelette may look plain but i promise you it was one of the fluffiest omelettes i have ever tried. The bread service was spectacular and the hot chocolate compared to many of the other viral places. Now for my romance girlies that enjoy great photo ops, this place has so many! Even a mirrored staircase perfect for photos! I came here to celebrate my birthday brunch and I believe it to be a great place for any special occasion!

THE FOOD ------------------…read more+ THEEEEEE gold standard for macarons in Paris ... or anywhere for that matter. + Macarons here are a little crisp, a little pillowy softness and a whollllllle bunch of flavor. - It cost a pretty penny (about 3 Euros for 1 piece), but you won't regret it for a second when you bite into one of these addictively delicious treats. THE SERVICE ----------------------- + All class, top notch white glove service - literally - they handle the macarons with much care like it were gold! THE SURROUNDINGS ------------------------------------ + Located in the heart of the Champs-Élysées on Rue Lincoln, so, YES, it is busy like rush hour outside ... and inside. + There are 2 sides to this massive flagship location - you can either make a purchase of macarons at their store OR dine/sit down in their tea house. Both have lines to wait on, but making a purchase only takes about 10 minutes on a weekend, while dining in looks like an unimaginable wait! + The store to make a macaron purchase at has 3 tables to sit around to enjoy your purchase of delicious macarons. You MUST catch someone about to leave (like we did) in order to snag a table. RANDOM OBSERVATIONS ------------------------------------------- = Expect waits on a weekend afternoon, especially to sit down in the tea room. If you just make a store purchase, it's only about a 10 minute wait ... and you'll be thanking your legs for that. = It's a tourist destination in itself, so expect LOTS of people taking photos of this location. CONCLUSION ----------------------- = Yes, I'm from the tri-state area and they've had a Laduree in NYC since 2011, but there's alwayyyyys something special about going to one of the originals and this spot is no different.

OK, I admit it. I'm so over cupcakes. So when my cupcake loving friend dragged us down the semi…read moresketchy sex-show filled streets of Pigalle to find this cupcake shop, I definitely obliged her begrudgingly. We walked in a few minutes before closing, but the delightful vintage pink and green rockabilly atmosphere immediately perked me up. The two shop girls are seriously cool and were excited to show us their Marilyn Monroe statue in the back as well as explain (in English, woo!) their beautifully decorated cupcakes of the day. I honestly could have done without, but everything was so cute I could not resist. I ended up taking home three cupcakes that night. Blueberry and white chocolate, Raspberry and white chocolate, and something I could not understand due to language barriers. They were just my style: not too sweet. In fact they were more like fruit muffins with white chocolate drizzles and fresh fruit, and edible glitter on top. It was so beautiful, it looked like a cupcake straight out of a fairy tale. Definitely worth a stop if you're in the area to see a topless show and then craving some sweets.

Chloé's I find to be a little treasure in Paris…read more I discovered it after randomly googling things in the area when I moved to the 9th. And boy was that a surprise! I've gone not only just for a cupcake to go, but for teatime and of course brunch. The weekends it's rather full- better to get there earlier or later, but if you go on a weekday you may just be lucky enough to have the place to yourself. All the galz are dolled up in the pink kitchen and make you feel right at home. The cupcake flavors change with the days, but they are all DIVINE and eye candy for sure. Don't forget to peek in the kitchen- all is pink! Perfect place to pop in with a friend for a tea & a snack and enjoy the vintage retro atmosphere with it's dollhouse twist. Highly recommended- you won't regret it. Not sure if you can make reservations, but it is quite small, not suggested for groups over 6 unless specially reserved. Try the raspberry praline cupcake!!! Accepts credit cards.

The line outside Angelina's was so long! So many people waiting to dine at this establishment. I…read moredid not have the time to wait for a table to dine in so I went and got some take outs. I bought a cup of hot chocolate, a croissant and a box of macarons. The hot chocolate tasted very decadent. It was sweet and rich with a strong chocolate taste. Thick and delicious. The croissant was also good. Very flaky. The macrons come in many flavors. I picked eight different flavors to try. They were all delicious. I would love to come back another time to dine in and try more of their offerings.

We stopped by the flagship Rue de Rivoli location right by Place de la Concorde for breakfast. We arrived right around 9:30 AM and walked straight in with zero wait. Talk about great timing, by the time we sat down and looked outside, a huge line had already wrapped down the sidewalk. The decor is beautiful and timeless, pure classic French elegance with the chandeliers, mirrors, and gilded details. We were seated upstairs on the second floor, which gave us a lovely, relaxed vantage point away from the entrance rush. We ordered their breakfast set, which came loaded with two flaky croissants, fresh baguette with butter and jams, two eggs Benedict, fresh juice, and, of course, their legendary chocolat chaud africain. That hot chocolate is as thick, rich, and velvety as advertised, almost like drinking liquid ganache. We also couldn't leave without ordering their famous chestnut Mont-Blanc pastry, which was silky, sweet, and totally lived up to the hype. Even though the dining room filled up quickly and was bustling, the staff was attentive, polished, and very efficient. Loved the entire experience from start to finish, an absolute treat!

The frosting on the cake was my favorite part; something about the milk/cream they used just made it taste like heaven.
