This place seems like more hype than quality, but I fell for the marketing and waited in a long…read moreline to get inside to see what was on offer. I went towards the end of the evening near closing time, so the cookies and pastries had already been picked over quite a bit. Luckily, I was here to get a gingerbread man, and I picked out the cutest one ever (see photos)! I've rarely met a gingerbread I didn't like, and this version was a-okay. It wasn't as spicy as I'd like, but it had a nice chewy crunch to the cookie that made the texture quite satisfying. Of course, as is my method, I nibbled off his arms and legs first. I'm not such a fan of the icing, and Gilg's version I found quite bland. It was sweet, but not tasty. My cookie was individually wrapped in plastic which made it easy to reseal to enjoy later. I was able to take a few more nibbles on my train to Paris the next afternoon. And did I mention how stinking cute the cookie was? The little wide eyes and "o" face...just adorable. I could see these making excellent gifts to take home from Europe, if you could keep the cookies from breaking during transit. The other goods on offer looked tasty, but if the gingerbread man is any indication, this may be one of those "all looks, bland taste" type of bakeries. I wish I had tried something else, but my main reason to visit was merely "just okay."

I finally decided to make the stop around lunch time on a Tuesday and waited a little less than 10 minutes (the line moves quickly). I ordered a pain au chocolate and the pretzel gratinee. Together they were both around 5 euros which is pretty reasonable. They warmed up the pretzel which was nice. Unfortunately there was nothing special about either things to me that would make me want to go back. They were good, but nothing that stood out to make it exceptional. I've had numerous pain au chocolats and this tasted like the rest. The pretzel was good and soft, which I liked but the cheese was only in the middle and not much on the outside. I've had better tasting pretzels for sure. It was a decent place, but not as hyped up as it was made out to be.

Peering inside its dark interiors and modern pastry case, a lone Frenchman espresso drinking connoisseur quickly took his sip and was already on his way out as we entered in.

We shared an èclair au praliné noisette, croissant aux amandes, and pain au chocolat - all three of them perfect, fresh, delicious, and everlasting.

I understood some of it and was able to find out about their breads. It's unlike many French bakeries as their breads are more dense akin to German bread and their baguettes are made from whole meal flour. Great breads and loved their multi grain loaf. They had tons of cakes and things I did not try. There was a line up in the morning of regulars coming to get their loaf of bread. I really liked the bread here and they were very friendly and welcoming at the shop. A great bakery in town.
