Came here and bought some souvenirs back home. I got a tin box of chocolate biscuits. The tin box was very well designed and was very high quality made. It was cheaper to just buy the chocolate biscuits back home. But I wanted something memorable. The chocolate biscuits were delicious. There were other flavors as well. B got some chocolate cookies to bring back. It had lots of chocolate chips in the cookies. Except it crumbled easily. Other than that they were good. Good French quality. It is located in the touristy area. Highly recommend coming here. They also provide samples before purchase. read more

Such a beautiful little store. It reminded me of a quintessential European candy shop. They don't just sell candies but cookies too. Looking at all the colors and shapes is just a feast for your eyes. They offered delicious samples of their biscuits. I was really impressed that they even offered vegan biscuits, which we bought. Our kid loved the biscuits and asked for more. I wish we had a local biscuit/candy shop near our house. If that was the case, I think I would be severely overweight. lol read more

Wow, this has to be one of the cutest candy/sweets shops I've ever visited - it's so...French! I was here during a very cold winter day and entered a very warm, floral-scented room filled with chocolates, cookies and caramels, all packaged in pastel colored boxes and bags. There were a ton of items to choose from...they warmly welcomed us into the store and offered shortbread cookies and a chocolate covered pistachios - all of which were very good. I ended up purchasing some caramels and those were great - the chocolate caramels being my favorite. Even if you don't buy anything here, it's definitely worth a visit - it's unbelievably nice. read more

Sweet shop, and even sweeter lady at the counter. Who doesn't love cookies and chocolates, right? It's one of my happy places--the colors are yellow and orange and red, the wood flooring, the room is fully illuminated it completely banishes any shadow--just to step in inside is joy in itself. And the chocolates are so good! read more

Beautiful cookies and wonderful service. Everyone was so friendly and helpful. Thank you!!

I love this place! If you love good chocolate and thick cookies - definitely pay this confectionary a visit! The chocolate olives are so addictive, but no actual olives, just almonds that shape like olives .. awww :( Cookies are mostly great, you can't really go wrong with whatever you choose. I would definitely love to make this place a regular sweets store if I lived in Paris. read more

Each time I come to Paris I find myself yet again in La Cure Gourmande. I particularly like them for nicely packaged treats for a reasonable price that I can bring back to the US and treat large groups of people. They have lovely bags and boxes here that would make for great gifts. In particularly, I enjoy bringing back Madeleines and orange chocolates from this place. You can buy a couple large boxes without breaking the bank. The people here are extremely friendly and if you're looking to taste test something, you're in luck! They will stuff you full of treats until you're waving them bye at the door. Most of the people who work here speak English but even if you know a little French, I find that they are extremely patient with you. This particularly location is conveniently located near by Notre Dame so after sightseeing, you can bring home gifts for your loved ones! read more

Absolutely wonderful sweet shop that we were recommended to in Paris. The chocolate filled cookies are SO darn good. A few people complained about the service here but I had a wonderful time between samples and recommendations. They've got all sorts of french candies here from chocolate to caramels to nougats. These make great souvenirs to take home too! read more

Came here on our last evening to buy some cookies to take back to the states. Rude staff. Completely unhelpful. FYI...they close at 6, not 8:30 as stated. read more

Delightful treats gift shop. Colorful, samples, wonderful girl behind the counter helping. Pastries. Chocolates. Tins to fill. Then you bring the 'gifts' back to the place you're staying and... eat them all. Perhaps another stop before returning home is in order read more

Happened to chance upon this little boutique candy store in a random alleyway as I was exploring the back alleys of Paris waiting for dinner to start with some friends. It caught my eye since it was one of the few brightly lit stores as you scurry past and it looks very inviting from the get-go! It's walls are lined up with all kinds of goodies such as candy bars of different flavors (fruit infused, caramel, chocolate, etc.). Everything is very daintly packaged and labeled correctly so you know how much exactly everything costs. In the center of the store was a huge cookie area where they bake the cookies fresh daily and then you can make a boxed cookie assortment to go! Normally when you go to these areas, you're a little hesitant to buy them since you really don't know how they taste and don't want to end up spending money on something you might end up not liking. Well, they offer select samples for you to try to resolve that problem! Hence, you're only really taking a chance on the candy bars - which I ended up loving! I even bought some home for friends to try in the State! Everything is sold by weight so choose carefully! read more

if you've been to paris, especially in the cold months, you know it's often gray & gloomy................ well this place was literally like the warm sun in the midst of dreary paris. it was bright and cheery - and this is all just from standing on the sidewalk across the street! once inside it's even better. they have rows & rows of candy & biscuits. the caramels are THE BEST I'VE EVER HAD. they are soft & rich. you can buy the 1 1/2 inch lovelies one by one, or you can put together a box of them & choose your own flavors. perfect! and they have these "chocolate olives" which are really just chocolate covered almonds. but they look like real olives & more importantly, taste DELICIOUS. and all of the packaging is just adorable, all vintage inspired, which makes anything in this store perfect for a gift! read more

The staff is evil....but in an amazingly wonderful way. Why you may ask. So strolling by one evening, most of the other shops were closed and this brightly lighted place beckoned to us. Upon entering, we said our obligatory "bon jour madame. We are just looking". She kindly told us to take our time and offered us a cookie. Delicious. We picked up 2 boxes. She offered some orange covered dark chocolate. Delicious. We picked up 3 boxes. She continued to offer samples and everything was amazing. So $200 later, we left with 2 large bags of sweets. The most expensive free samples ever. Over the next few days, we debated if we had made a foolish purchase. We decided to go back and buy more!!! We were having a holiday party 2 weeks after returning to the US. Our guests loved everything and were impressed by us bringing sweets "all the way from Paris". Everything comes in sturdy packages so they traveled well in our carry-on. We happily devoured anything that was broken. In summary, great products and very helpful, friendly staff....in a very wonderfully evil way. read more

I love La Cure Gourmande biscuits and the little tins in which they come. Not only is the store adorable, but it is just down the block from the basilica and Montmartre. Also, the last time I was there there was seasonal flea market one street away. Seriously? A perfect day. My favorite flavor: Orange Blossom. I've seriously considered having them shipped to the states. read more

Have visited stores in Barcelona and Sete... this is a must have treat to take home WITH the beautiful tin!!!!

Cute little shop with everything to satisfy your sweet tooth: cookies, candies, caramels. I took some cookies back with me... mixing and matching different flavors like lemon and apricot to satisfy everyone's preferences back home. You can smell the butter from a mile away... no, these aren't for the calorie conscious. I don't know how authentic this place is, and I don't really care! :-) read more

Amazing cookies. Definitely must visit this shop! Very Paris and vintage! They let you try one of their cookies! They still delicious if you plan on bring some back home!

The perfect Parisian delight. This little gem was the cherry on top of an already perfect day in Paris, just roaming the streets and shopping. Be prepared to spend some time, as the selections seems to be endless, and you never know what deliciousness is to your right. The charming salesgirl walks around with the day's samples. Fantastic Berlandises, caramels, biscuits, chocolats and tons of Boîtes & sacs cadeaux to bring back as gifts. read more

I always load up on cookies from La Cure when I'm in France. I love the one in St. Louis and Provence. They cannot be replicated and are my taste of France in America. Do not go home without taking home these beautifully handcrafted delicious bites of heaven. read more

Filled biscuits are yummy. Just returned from Europe and now that we have discovered these delighful cookies, we want more!! Does anyone know if they can be shipped to US? Is there an English website to order from? Love them read more

What a wonderful treasure of sweet treats. The ladies in the shop were probably the nicest and most friendly we encountered in Paris. Our French is limited, but we communicated wonderfully, and their enthusiasm is infectious. Chocolate olives, cookies, and gifts you would love to take home to show off Paris to your friends. read more

AMAZING. Love this place. Was just strolling past and ended up having a look inside (no intention to buy anything). The wonderful staff offered me to try their caramel biscuits... Ended up buying two large tins and a pack of caramels. They just wanted me to keep trying more and more and I was LOVING it. Will be going back before I leave Paris to buy more as gifts for family. They are a bit on the more expensive side but trust me when you try that caramel biscuit your life will never be the same again.. read more

My daughter and I went today and bought 6 different kinds of cookies. We still can't agree on which was the best but we have narrowed it down to three. The chocolate one (chocolate color on the outside - melts in mouth), the biscotti-like one or the white one with chocolate inside. Magical cookies. I also bought some caramels which look amazing but I have to pace myself after wolfing down those cookies. I hear one calling my name from the kitchen right now. . . . . I'm coming! read more
