I ordered the Croissant Du Jardon(pardon any misspelling) and it was absolutely delicious! I am not typically a big pastry person but if I could eat this everyday I would! I am not sure what cheese was used. But it was cooked to perfection. I walked to the Seine river and enjoyed it while looking at the scenery. read more

Great bakery. We walked there on the way to D'Orsey. Seemed popular with the locals so dropped in. Fresh and wide selection of typical favorites. We each grabbed a croissant and enjoyed them. read more

Definitely not the best patisserie around. We stumbled in here for a snack after visiting the Musee D'Orsay and weren't impressed. This was quite possibly the worst croissant I've eaten in Paris. It was cold, hard, and dense. Ugh, what a waste. Boyfriend ordered some sort of bun that was supposed to have olives, tomatoes, and ham, but it was cold, hard, and only had a few measly chunks of ham. Nary an olive or tomato to be seen! Don't waste your money here. There are much better pastries to be had. read more

This place is not the place to visit if you are not from Paris and you don't speak fluent French. When we walked in the lady behind the counter was smiling but as soon as she realized we didn't speak French, she started helping people behind us. Even as we started to try to order, she kept helping people that came in behind us. This happened 4 times before we finally were able to get a word in edgewise to place our order. Our pastries were actually quite good but I would never come here again based off the way we were treated. I speak very limited French and am more than able to communicate a food order but she could have cared less about helping us. Terrible service! read more

Of course, bakeries are everywhere! But this one was probably my favorite out of all the other bakeries we went to while visiting Paris. It doesn't hurt that they all look so pretty. very pretty. you almost don't want to eat it. Sometimes, pretty pastries don't always taste as good as it looks. Not the pastries from Gosselin. It is pricier than other mom and pop bakeries you'll see while walking around Paris but it is worth it. It's a walking distance from Musee d'Orsay so stop by before going to the museum and have you a eclair or a flan. YUM! read more

This very nice boulangerie-pâtisserie is located on a busy corner, directly across the street from the Solferino Metro station. It's several blocks away from the Orsay Museum. They sell lots of breads, croissants, eclairs, chocolates, and many other decadent French treats. During my visit many Parisians were purchasing loafs of bread, so I sort of went against the grain when I purchased my French sampling of croissant, pain au chocolat, and vanilla eclair. But I'm glad I purchased those items because all three of them were excellent. They were dynamite! The inside was a little hectic and busy when I visited but I think that's because a lot of customers were regulars and they were just in a hurry to get home and cook dinner (it was around dinner time, hence all the bread purchases). The people working behind the counter were friendly, polite, and I experienced no problems with my English. read more

I don't give 5 stars often, and I think this might be my only 2nd 5 star review of a Paris locale, but I have a huge sweet tooth and we bought 4 pastries and I ate them all in one sitting. Oh my goodness, I spotted the shop as we were approaching the Musee d'Orsay and I felt how Dorothy felt when she saw the City of Oz for the first time. It was awe inspiring. My mouth opened and even now my tongue is salivating at the thought. I hate myself for not taking photos of the window front. It was so gorgeous and magical, the sweets I saw in the window and the throng of girls in the front. I am not a fan of macaroons, but of the other sweets that you rarely can find in the States. The closest you can get is Madeliene or Whole Foods. Anyhow, after our visit to Musee d'Orsay, I dragged my son and husband in there and they packaged our sweets in the most beautiful pink box. I carried it on the Metro as if it was a priceless heirloom, All the women were staring at it. Then at home we devoured every last scrumptious crumb. I even saved the wrapping paper and tissue paper to put in my Paris scrapbook... read more

I picked up a salted caramel eclair and a millefeuille praline on my way back to the hotel near the invalides from Musée D'orsay. The smell in the shop was beyond incredible and was so excited to have a bite later. My friend and I had the worst dining experience (found a chipped tooth in the meal, among other horrible experiences at the restaurant) that I was really put off from eating anything else. Hours later we got the courage to eat the pastries and Wowza!!! The salted caramel eclair is the best eclair I've ever had, EVER!!! I have baking and culinary education and it still blows my mind how amazing that eclair was. Did I mention this was hours after buying? The millefeuille surprisingly remained crispy and the praline and filling was extremely decadent! I highly recommend this place!! I'll definitely be recommending this place and returning when visiting Paris again. read more

Notable bakery in a city of bakeries. Serve small portions like mini baguette and mini patties, perfect for trying all sorts of items. Full bread and cakes available as well and all delicious. I dare say cheap with mini bread less than .50 euro and croissants about 2.00 euro. Really recommend this spot and well worth a detour. read more

Last time I stumbled upon this place. I didn't realize where I was going but I knew what I was looking for: almond croissant or croissant aux amandes. Gosselin was open on this street corner and I stumbled inside. Inside this bakery/patisserie you'll find an array of brilliantly decorated cakes, pastries and fresh bread. There is nothing like this anywhere else in the world and any place that tries really just falls short. The croissants aux amandes are out of this world. They have this very smooth velvety almond paste that is layered on the inside while the outside has lost its flakey texture because of all the butter that is inside. Try the one with a stripe of chocolate and you'll feel that you've died and gone to heaven. This happens to also be the first place where I tried an eclair au pistache. OMG I never thought I would like anything with pistachio in it but this was amazing. Better than the chocolate, cafe or the normal eclairs. This one will knock your socks off, so you better be sure to try it! All in all probably the best most consistent bakery/patisserie you'll find around here. Take advantage of your trip to Paris and make it a point to come to Gosselin! read more

Four years ago, almost to the day, my husband and I honeymooned in Europe. Our first stop was Paris and we had the good fortune of staying in a flat right around the corner from this place. I have terribly fond memories of waking up before the hubby, going downstairs and getting our breakfast pastries from this shop. We must have tried every variety of croissant they had and we also bought many a baguette. I really loved that we could get a demi baguette every morning instead of having to eat day old bread, which is what would have happened had we needed to get the whole baguette. The croissants were all fantastic and now, four years later, we still compare every croissant we eat to these. I can tell you that even in Paris not many live up to them. If you are on the hunt for a good croissant and happen to be near this place, go in and give them a try, you won't be disappointed, I only wish I'd had the opportunity to eat more of their selection before we headed out of Paris. read more

Gosselin is the stereotypical "A-OK" boulangerie, offering a huge array of products at reasonable prices, where nothing is really bad but at the same time nothing is exceptional. Their baguette tradition is quite good, with a tasty, crunchy crust and just-dense-enough, yeasty interior. Definitely ask for it bien cuite, the one less-cooked baguette I had wasn't very good. The pâtisseries are okay - they are plentiful in variety and wonderful in appearance but generally unexceptional in taste. I had a merveilleux chocolat, a large macaron framboise, and an éclair café which were all fine, pretty much average for Paris. But come on, if you're here in the 7th, you have Rue du Bac on your doorstep, and that means pastry row with Jacques Genin, Des Gateaux et Du Pain, Pâtisserie des Rêves, and more...there are better places for bread, viennoiseries, and pastries a stone's throw away! read more

Philippe Gosselin - macaron framboise...OK, a bit dry, unmemorable - Bakeries Near Me - Paris, 75

This is a bakery near the Musee D'Orsay. Everything was good but nothing was memorable. Ordered sandwiches and gelato. Would not go back. Visited 24 June 2017. read more

Decadent cakes, breads and a whole range of filled baguettes make this a great stop to grab something on the go. (Not to eat on the run of course - that's not a Parisian thing to do!) The mere glimpse of the gorgeous cakes in the window and you're guaranteed to be salivating. All reasonably priced too, it's just incredibly hard to leave with just a single cake... read more

Let me preface this by saying I'm not an expert on French patisseries, nor did I try every patisserie in Paris, so I have a limited group for comparison. Of that group, though, this was easily my favorite. My girlfriend and I got eclairs and tarts here and all were delicious. I also brought back some Macarons to a friend who is very picky about her Macarons and she loved them as well. If you're in the area and looking for a sweet, this is definitely a good option. read more

Our family saw this on the way to the Orsay Museum. It is a place that gets very crowded at lunch with locals. Know what you want b/c the line moves quickly and they dont tolerate anyone holding up the line. The chocolate filled pastries were delicious and we went back the next day for more. You have to find a bench outside if you want to sit and enjoy a meal. read more

Incredible French food in a lovely setting. Very authentic and wonderful...the flavors were perfect! read more

Found this place near the Musee d'Orsay. Bought a box of 6 macarons for €11 (kinda pricey), they were delicious! My friend and I came back the next day and she got a fig tarte that was equally, if not, better than the macarons. Definitely go here if you go to the Orsay! read more

This was an amazing little bakery that we walked into on our way to Musee d'Orsay. Each of us got a different pastry to share, and everything was just incredible. There isn't any seating inside, but you can take a short walk to the Seine and eat there. Highly recommend this place! read more

I reviewed the OTHER Gosselin bakery by accident. I didn't go to that one! I went to THIS one and this is hands down the BEST in Paris and the WORLD, yes the WORLD. There are people that visit this location from the USA just to visit this bakery and eat their wonderful baguettes! Incredible tasting, light amazing. And cheap too!!! They have the greatest baguettes in the WORLD. And everything else in there is great. I need to go back NOW because I need to have their baguettes, and I want them right now!!! read more

Service was very good. Baguette was very good as well and would have been excellent if not for being burned on the bottom. I don't mind it when some pastries are a touch too brown because that's yummy. Burned bread=not yummy. read more

A bit pricey, but absolutely scrumptious! I had the palmier and Napolitano, and my friend had the bostock and hamburger shaped macaron (wonderfully fruity).....we both loved our pastries, and enjoyed them on the roof of the musée d'Orsay for a wonderful view. The customer service was also polite, quick, and friendly. Only pluses at this place. After our museum trip, I came back to buy a few....or more than a dozen macarons from here XD to bring back as souvenirs for my family. I just hope these macarons stay in good condition and taste as good as their other pastries! read more

Stumbled upon this place while walking the city. Lucky me! The line of people hinted that it would be a place worth stopping into it. Fantastic sandwich and tasty macarons. read more

A great bakery in Saint-Germain. I was lucky enough to be staying down the street from Philippe Gosselin on Rue de Bellechasse. Close walking distance from Musée d'Orsay. I first came here for a cafe & chocolate croissant. Next I came for Macaroons - and wow - they were the best I've had. I got a package of 6 for 12 euro to bring home as a gift, and they were loved. A little pricey for the packaged gifts, however in general, this is an affordable and delicious bakery. A must-stop if in the area of Musée d'Orsay / Saint Germain. read more

Better than sitting at a mediocre cafes in the area. Great eclairs, pain Au chocolat and staff! Would come back again!

Fantastic pastry shop. The macarons were simply scrumptious. The pistachio Napoleon we shared was the best pastry ever. We had a few other things that were very good, but the macarons and the pistachio Napoleon were simply spectacular. read more
