    To start...the tart was great - and there were several other options that caught my eye that I'd certainly try again if I find myself back at Patisserie Poupon. The space itself is very tiny. There are two tables and while I sat for a while to work and another person was sitting there on a work call, it didn't feel like the space was actually meant for people to sit and enjoy. It is definitely more of a grab-and-go place, and I think maybe why people feel put off by the "welcome" they received. I went in wanting a tart and a space to sit during a rainstorm, and that's what I got.

    Yes yes yes... i know you're all French and FABULEUX!!! But do you really have to have the condescending tone ALL THE TIME?!?!? I mean, yes, I enjoy a good pastry as much as the next guy but c'mon... Staff was incredibly friendly. Spoke w/ one of the pastry chefs and asked a specific question. When I came in, she recognized my voice and ensured my experience was pleasurable. I even got a free madeleine & cookie. Heating (grill) was the trick! These were absolutely delicious, especially once warmed up a bit. The butter permeated all the layers. The pastries were soft and flavorful. The sweet aspect (fruits, jams, chocolate) backed ohhh so gooey. What I remember is that my eyes rolled to the back once I took my 1st bite into each confection / pastry. TRIPLE WORD SCORE!!!!

    The proof is in the pudding, and I don't go there for ambiance or quick, efficient service. It's a SMALL bakery. I go there because the bakery fares are magnifique! Mwah! Delicious beyond description. Puts regular bakeries to shame. Not only do I love their pastries, but I had them do my daughter's wedding cake. TO DIE FOR!! The talk of the reception!

    Today April 18th at 7:01 pm, I happened to be in my car watching this franchise work and prep their desserts, they are not clean or sanitary. I've witnessed bakers taking food/ with their bare hands no gloves from one location next door which seems to be an apartment, that have a built in kitchen. To the restaurant Approximately around 7:08pm this baker took the desserts he cut up and walked next door and put them in a fridge. No gloves, in sight. I have never in my life seen such cooking behaviors, high levels of un sanitation, in my life. Please be aware and take major precautions before deciding to order or support this establishment.

    As a long-time customer of this patisserie, I have experienced a range of highs and lows that make it a bit of a mixed bag. The cakes are consistently amazing! I love Royale, Cassis Mousse, and Opera. When it comes to pastries, it's hit or miss. When fresh out of the oven the spinach ricotta croissant, ham cheese croissant, and pain au chocolat are wonderfully delicious. However, there have been times when they were stale or old (right when they open in the morning!), which is disappointing. Given the steep prices, I expect a higher standard of freshness and quality. The customer service needs improvement. Many times I've encountered unfriendly or even rude staff. Smh. Another aspect to keep in mind is the location. The area around the patisserie doesn't feel very safe, so it's wise to be mindful when visiting. If you're willing to navigate these inconsistencies and embrace a bit of unpredictability, check it out!

    Pistachio Éclair (inside)

    I really enjoy pastry shops and am a bit of a francophile, so I was very excited that Patisserie Poupon was within walking distance of my hotel. Unfortunately, the closer you get to the shop, the sketchier the area. Luckily I was walking with two others and it was broad daylight, but otherwise I might have turned back and Ubered instead. The shop itself it very modest and if you didn't know it was there you could walk right past. Inside they have displays with cakes and their pastry items available for individual purchase, of which there were probably two dozen or more options. I got several items - opera, pistachio eclair, chocolate chip walnut cookie, Madeline, almond croissant, and pain au chocolat. My favorite item was the opera by far - super creamy with sweetness balanced by the bitter coffee cream. I am not a coffee lover, but really enjoyed this dessert. The rest of the items I honestly could've done without and have had better versions of elsewhere. I tried them all, but didn't finish them all. I think the shop is worth a pop-by if you're visiting but I am not sure I'd return if I lived in the area personally.

    Cake Royale 8", $49 plus delivery $20

    Upon a local recommendation I decided to order a birthday cake to brighten up my baby's day as she graduating and is reluctant to celebrate and I'm almost 3000 miles away. First, the delivery driver went above and beyond to make sure this cake was sent to my daughter's college dorm room, despite the security desk being a total pain about it, and not caring one way or another. My kid and her friends called me Oohing excited about how beautiful the cake was and heard back later it was just as delicious. Yes it ultimately was a really nice birthday and this cake made it so much more special! This is the Cake Royale, chocolate mousse, hazelnut meringue layer, more chocolate and hazelnuts.

    2 words Kouign Amman. This bakery stands the test of time with how delicious all of the items are here. All of the cookies, croissants, danish, and rolls I tried were amazing but without a doubt the star of the show for me was the Kougin Amman. It was perfectly flaky with a coating of glazed caramel and is what the phrase "party in your mouth" is coined for. I loved chatting with the lady helping us, she was so friendly and fun and I can't wait to come back for more.

    Strawberry fraisier and fruit tart
    Ren H.

    A quaint bakery in an obscure part of the city in my opinion but oh my, their desserts are delicious (haven't tried any baked goods yet). They have a good selection of chilled desserts in their refrigerated section and a counter full of their bakery items. The few desserts I've tried are the strawberry fraisier, pistachio & coffee eclairs, and fruit tart - all have been so good! Nothing to rave about the decor but staff are friendly and provide efficient service.

    Apple Tart

    Got an excellent apple tart to take to a friend's Thanksgiving dinner at the last minute. Everyone loved it.

    If you want to taste authentic french pastries you must head to Patisserie. Not only are the desserts delectable but they're gorgeous and easy on the eyes as well as the sweet tooth.

    Please note that this review is part of my Fancy Feast series! Taste: 5 paws. Sensibly sweet! Value: 3-4 paws Bottom line: the best French cakes and pastries that Baltimore has to offer! As a stray cat, I don't eat fancy foods often but every once in a while I indulge myself with some of the best desserts that Baltimore has to offer! They have a wide variety of cakes to satisfy almost any palate. One noticeable thing about their desserts are that they not cloyingly sweet like many other dessert shops in Baltimore (I'm looking at you, Sacre Sucre! *meow*). At Patisserie Poupon, you can actually taste the cocoa, creme, and fruit. The sugar is used sensibly to highlight these flavors rather than to overpower them. The only downside to Patisserie Poupon is that their prices are on the higher side (~$6 per cake), but I do think that they are still worth every penny! Cake recommendations (top tier): - Royale - hazelnut and chocolate cake with chocolate macaron - Tiramisu - light and fluffy, just like me! - Mixed Fruit Cheesecake - creamy and decadent! Cake recommendations (close but no Royale): - Opera - almond and chocolate cake with coffee buttercream - Mixed Fruit Tart - for when I need my serving of fruit - Lemon Meringue Pie - sweet and tart - Cassis Mousse - blackcurrant and white chocolate cake - Apricot Tart - the apricots are the star! - Frasier - strawberry cream cake Cakes that I find to be "meh": - Apple tart and Pear tart - these are decent but not particularly special. Not worth the premium price :( - Eclairs (varied) - I find these to be okay and not particularly special. I've never had an éclair that I've liked though. - Millefeuille au Caramel - puff pastry with pastry cream - the caramel is hard to break through without mangling the entire dessert. I do not like this dessert And this concludes the first of my Fancy Feast reviews! *meow*

    Bûche de Noël, Grand Marnier flavor.

    They are miserable employees. Prices are too high here but don't complain they will lecture you in economics.

When we arrived, we were seated right away, but it seemed like there were very few staff working--possibly only one waiter. It took about 10 minutes before we finally had to flag him down just to place our order. The food then took around 25-30 minutes to come out, which felt very long since we were on a tight schedule for our flight. When the food finally arrived, I ordered the macaroni and cheese, and unfortunately it was the worst mac and cheese I've ever had. I don't want to be mean, but it was very bland and really needed salt. My sister surprisingly liked it, but it just wasn't for me at all. The rest of my family did enjoy their meals, and I thought the fries were decent, just lightly seasoned. My mom especially liked the grilled cheese. The waiter himself was nice and kept our drinks refilled, so I don't think the long wait was entirely his fault. The restaurant is very cute inside with cozy, old-style vibes and festive Christmas decorations, which I really liked. However, between the long wait times, the limited menu, and my disappointing mac and cheese, I wouldn't recommend that dish. Overall, it's a charming place, but the service was too slow for us--especially when trying to catch a flight.

Since it was New Year's eve, there were few patrons or maybe this is the usual scene? Don't know. But there are some comfy couches by the front in which a young couple with a baby was nursing. Another couple was just finishing up dinner and started to head out. We were the only two diners for about 20 minutes before another couple came in for dinner. There were also about two or three people at the bar. So basically a very quiet place. No one at the hostess stand, only a woman at the bar. She eventually sat us and took our order. Things were slow but not so slow that I would complain. I would surmise that most of the staff was off that evening. Food was also slow in coming so there might have been a small crew in the kitchen as well. We ordered the mezze appetizer. Nothing to rave about. It was just a plate with vegetables and hummus. We both got the wagyu burger and fries. The whole meal was quite decent. The meat was cooked to the correct temperature and the fries were crispy. It was quite filling for me. Maybe it was NYE but everything was quiet and nice.

The space is gorgeous - super high ceilings, giant chandelier, velvet couches - a very old school elegant vibe. The beer and wine selection were small, but very good.

According to their menu, "We are proudly building a worker-cooperative serving story-worthy food from around the world." There were certainly dishes from around the world, and the menu is very flexible for a variety of diners (dishes are marked as vegan, vegetarian, gluten free, and dairy free). My friend and I shared the crispy cauliflower and tahini, which was well-fried and delicious. I also appreciated their drink offerings. My friend and I had and enjoyed a couple of glasses of Lebanese Sauvignon Blanc (from Mersel Wine). I had the Farmers Market Za'atar Salad (cucumber, shaved beet, fennel, pomegranate, pickled jalapeno, mint, fried pita, baby greens, and za'atar yogurt dressing), to which I added falafel. Unfortunately, I found the salad to be quite dry (not dressed enough and then the falafel and the pita crisps just compounded that) and served in a dish that made it quite hard to eat without spilling half the salad on the table. The service was friendly but perhaps not very attentive. I got up to ask our server for the check after waiting for a bit of time for her to make her way to us. I wasn't wowed by the food, but I love Mera's concept and their space. I'd be happy to give it another chance to wow me. I'd also be happy to return for mezze/small plates and wine.
