We were a few minutes early for our cooking class so we decided to check this place out. Super cute…read moresmall and had every sweet you could think of. Now some of these pastries didn't have descriptions so went purely off of how they looked lol. We also got some "donuts". I will say they were all fresh and moist and just yummy. Idk what exactly I was eating but they were sweet lol. Bf got an expresso he liked it. I would come back !!

This place was my morning commute...I sometimes forget how easy it is to have FRESH baked goods…read morethat I tend to overbuy. I tend to shop like I am never coming back to the store again. I came back one morning with tons of stuff and Frenchie asked me why in the hell did I just buy all that...I guess it takes away the concept of being "fresh". *sigh* I can't help it.....force of habit - I tend to do this in the States too. I shop like I live on a deserted island. Crepes and Tartelettes were good and not to mention beignets. I hate donuts, but why do I love these little tiny deep-fried dough?

If you're there during lunch time, grab a sandwich to go. My "go to" is the ham and cheese baguette. If you don't speak French, it's pretty much a point to order place. The women that work there speak little to no English (not sure about other languages).

This bakery is in a little village close to the hotel I stay at every time I'm in Paris. I've never…read morebeen there in the morning which I bet they have more items to choose from. They close after lunch hours (at 2pm I think) and reopen again at 5pm. I always get the same thing because it's so good I can't find it anywhere else. This almond tart is heavenly delicious!!!!! Sometime it has chocolate filling. Sometime it's some kind of berries filling. I love them all. If you like baguette, they offer the traditional one as well. (I prefer the regular one) Once you pick your pastry, it will be wrapped individually and I think it's really cute how they wrap it. I try to watch how they do that but they did it so fast!! Anyway this place is a gem you all should try!

Du Pain et des Idees was listed as one of the popular spots to get a croissant, so I made sure we…read morehad it on our itinerary. We came near 9am on a Monday and there was a very short line. It did get longer as we ate our pastries closer to 9:30am. The pastries are all displayed out, with nothing really covering them. There were a TON of bees swarming the bakery and the baked goods, which was a little unsettling. We got one croissant and one escargot praline. The croissant looked very unique, not like your typical croissant cone shape. It was the first of our many croissants so I used this as a baseline. Definitely buttery but a bit too crispy for me. I like some flakiness but also some soft interior for my croissants. The escargot praline was good but tasted a bit old in my opinion. After our trip ended, there were other spots I definitely would rank higher than Du Pain et des Idees, and would rather go to those if I ever visited Paris again.

So so so perfect, from the crunch and thin crust to the chew and density and softness and taste!!! of the bread . Such a big big no no for someone in prediabetic stage. But I'm not behaving when I'm on holiday and in a city where bread is more vital than water. No way.
