We went on a Friday at 3:30pm and there was only one other person in front of us in the store. The workers speak English and are super kind and friendly! We got the pain au chocolat and butter croissant. The pastries here are, in my opinion, a great price (less than 4 euro total for both). The pain au chocolat had an ample amount of chocolate inside, was crispy on the inside, and soft on the inside. The butter croissant was airy and flaky. There are plenty of other pastry options within the shop to choose from - would definitely recommend stopping by if in Lyon!

Atmosphere - Part of the Les Halles de Lyon - Halles Paul Bocuse. This a food market, each place with their own little food niche. They are the pastry shop of the "mall". So we ordered some pastries and headed to the coffee shop. Food Drink - Coffee from the neighboring coffee place. Sorry I do not know the name of the place. Breakfast - The main piece I had was the loaf of bread, brioche. It was moist, soft, and airy. Went well with the coffee. I also had small amount of the croissant, buttery flavor oozed out from the issue bread. The blueberry tart was a disappointment as it was served frozen, it thawed fast but why did they freeze it? Service - For a small place the line was always present. They were pleasant behind the counter. Future - Sure.

This the best bakery that I have ever been to, and I will die on this hill…read more I was wandering Lyon after seeing the Murs des Canuts mural, when I smelled the absolute most delicious bread wafting from a side street. I wasn't even hungry at the time, but without a second thought, I went inside the bakery and ordered a chocolate-and-almond croissant. This pastry is easily the best thing that I'd eaten on my month-long trip in Europe, and likely all the times that I'd been to Europe. It came in the shape of a traditional pain au chocolate, but the the top had shards of roasted almonds while the inside was filled both almond paste and dark chocolate strips. It was so good that I almost, almost ordered a second one until I decided to think of my health and ordered a standard croissant instead. The croissant was also fantastic, just not as amazing as the chocolate-almond croissant. I almost didn't know what this bakery was called, since it only had a 'P' logo in front of its door, but thankfully Google Maps helped me find it. It's a very small bakery that already had a small line forming out the door after I finished my croissant. Cash only! Also, it's cash-only! I believe I spent less than 4 euros on the two pastries.

Wonderful bakery in Croix Russe area.

One of best croissants I've ever had - so light and layered and crispy. Pain au chocolat also very good. A thin apple tart was crispy on the bottom and layered with super thin slivers of apples- wonderful. The almond croissant was good not great- a bit too sweet somehow. As this is our first morning in Lyon we will certainly be back for the rest of the week to try more and more especially since it is fortunately just around the corner. Very helpful and friendly man spoke good English and humored my French in a nice way.

The eclair pastry is light, and it's topped with a speculoos crumble, Gilles with a cold coffee flavored pastry cream that's not too sweet. At €2.95 each, it's not cheap compared to croissants and bread, though it is much more labor intensive. Skip the pain au chocolat, but the more unique eclair is worth trying. Staff is friendly. Cards accepted.

It is simply a boulangerie, not a boulangerie-patisserie combo (no éclairs here!) The line is out the door for sandwiches at lunch, and they run out of croissants on Sunday morning, so go early. Then when you get there, order croissants, pain au chocolat, and pain aux raisins, plus bread with olives or cheese for later. Oh, and don't forget a baguette, the bread and butter of French boulangeries (too much?) If you're extra hungry, go for one of the grande baguettes - it's fatter and won't disappear quite as fast. The boulanger is a charming fellow who speaks English. If he can, he'll give you the freshest croissants just out of the oven instead of the ones on display. My evening baguettes and bad-day-cheer-me-up pain aux raisins and it's-Tuesday pain aux olives are what I miss most since moving out of Croix Rousse. Yes, we have other boulangeries at the bottom of les pentes, but it's not the same! O Fournil des Artistes, I miss you! En gros: si vous aimez le bon pain et les bonnes viennoiseries, vous ne serez pas deçu. Meilleure boulangerie de la Croix Rousse!
