We found Angelina through a friend's recommendation. Their pastries are out of this world. Our servers were terrific, and from what we saw around the restaurant, all of them were proud of working there. It's a lively place, food coming up and down the aisle, yet it doesn't feel rushed or frantic. This is a good place to have breakfast before going to the Louvre. read more

Amazing ambience at this place, give me royal vibes. Line goes very quickly but I can't imagine how hot is to stand during the summer. We came in September and it was still very hot. We waited around 30 min. We came for hot chocolate but I really wanted to try their poached egg. I was bit disappointed eggs were not near to poached, they were more like soft boiled. Bread was not soft and I didn't like this choice of bread. Hot chocolate definitely worth it! it's tangly and very very sweet. My mother couldn't finish hers so I end up drinking both. It's good they serve water with it. Service was subpar and they looked very busy, however food came very quickly. read more

We were excited to try Angelina after having been to the NYC location and seeing the long line of people waiting outside the tea room. Luckily we were only staying a block away and could visit at 10am in the morning to avoid the crowds. We were seated quickly in the dining area which is gorgeous. Loved the paintings and mirrors which help the space feel much bigger than it really is. Unfortunately while the ambiance was lovely, everything else fell flat. First the service was rushed and we had trouble getting our server's attention. Generally speaking service in Paris is not that great but this was relatively bad compared to the other places we went to. We ordered the Angelina Tea, a croissant, and the Mont-Blanc pastry (a signature of theirs) to share as we weren't very hungry. The tea I have to say was fantastic - a unique blend of oolong, "exotic fruit," and pineapple. Loved the subtle but interesting fruit flavors in this. Unfortunately the croissant was frankly not good. Our hotel breakfast had better croissants and the Mont-Blanc was way too sweet. I typically love chestnut cream and this had good chestnut flavor but it was way way too sweet for us and the sugar was incredibly overpowering. We didn't get the famous hot chocolate but heard people next to us say it tasted like a melted Hershey's bar. Overall it's a good experience - go for the beautiful interior but I definitely would not say it's worth the long wait. I'd give food and service a 3 star but the interior bumps it up to 3.5. read more

We waited in line for less than an hour to get seated. The hostess keep the line moving and tables are rotated fairly quickly. Hot chocolate is worth the hype. It's thick and not extremely sweet, which gives you incentive to add more whipped cream to your cup. We also ordered the mount blanc, which was a bit chewy on the outside and generally lacked flavor. I wouldn't recommend it and try something else. Glad we tried the hot chocolate, but with so many other cafes in Paris, not sure if it's worth going back. read more

Angelina - Hot chocolate and Mont Blanc - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Paris, 75

I went to Angelina per a recommendation from my coworker. My boyfriend and I arrived at Angelina around 2:30pm on a Saturday afternoon, and we found a packed restaurant with long queues. I stood in one of the lines but was advised that it was the one for the tea room. I was guided to another line across the way for the to-go orders. Heads up, know which line you're entering so that you don't waste your time in the wrong one. The wait to the front was quite long. It took an hour from the time I entered the line to the front of the line. Customer service was totally fine. Friendly servers, and each one was willing to help and ensure I was taken cared of. Of course, I came to Angelina for their famous hot chocolate... and all I got to say is that the hype is real. It was the best sipping hot chocolate I've ever had. The chocolate was thick, rich in flavor, and not overly sweet. I did pick up a few pastry items, including the Mont-Blanc, Rocher, Cheesecake Marron, and a 4th one whose name I forgot because it was honestly forgettable. I was told that the Mont-Blanc was created at Angelina. I can't say that I've ever had anything like it before. The dessert looks like a muffin, but when you pierce through the stringy chocolate "muffin top" you'll find a sweet cream. The Rocher was very good. Exactly what you expect if you've had a Ferrer Rocher before. My absolute favorite dessert was the cheesecake marron, and I would go as far as saying that it's the best dessert I've had so far on my trip. It's so good that I actually finished it in one sitting, which is something I couldn't say for any of the previous desserts I've had. read more

We were fortunate that there was not a line to this popular restaurant. The service was good, the atmosphere interesting in that people sat close and it was easy to meet other people that were visiting Paris. The food was not memorable but I did not have any pastries or desserts, which looked amazing! If you are a hot chocolate lover, this is probably a must go. read more

If you're in Paris and you wanna try Hot Chocolate, any place you go it's going to be good. But i also had lunch here at the Palace of Versailles and the actual food was also amazing! Mashed potatoes, fresh chicken. The Hot Chocolate is obviously the feature. If you're planning to go here just for sweets don't count out having a meal here as well. read more

Probably 3.5 from me - it's one of the nicer spots for a bite in the Louvre. This location is a bit tucked away and quite small so plan on a wait, or get there when it opens. The menu is relatively small but most will find something to enjoy. I had a very nice quiche Lorraine, served with a small arugula and a pot of tea. Overall my lunch was a little pricey but you're not going to find a bargain at the museum. read more

Expect to wait in line for at least 45 minutes (if not more!) when arriving anytime after opening. This is a hugely popular spot in Paris that everyone flocks to. Thankfully, the line to wait in outside is under a covered awning, shielding you from the sun and rain! We chose to stay in line because my fiancé loves hot chocolate and wanted to experience the taste of it here as we'd heard great things. The hot chocolate was absolutely divine! Very rich, smooth and creamy. Definitely the creamiest hot chocolate I've ever tasted! We ordered enough for two, although we should've ordered one to share as it was too rich to drink more than one cup each. Tip for those uninterested in wasting time in line: They have a cart outside the cafe where you can purchase a cup of hot chocolate to go! Please note that the cart isn't always there (we walked by at a later time and noticed it wasn't open) but it's a great way to get to experience the taste of this decadent hot chocolate without the wait. read more

My friend and I had an extra day in Paris, and we heard this place has amazing hot chocolate. Lo and behold, their hot chocolate is amazing! When we arrived, there was a line, but it moves pretty fast. There's quite tight seating quarters, but it's absolutely beautiful inside! My friend and I opted for the tea time with hot chocolate, and those finger sandwiches were delicious! The dessert tier was a little too sweet for us. Service was not bad, and the bathrooms upstairs were pretty nice. If you don't want to wait or dine inside, there is a to-go area just to the right after you step inside. read more

Angelina - tea time with Angelina's hot chocolate - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Paris, 75

Angelina is famous for hot chocolate, so make sure to try that during your visit. It's so rich it causes you to slow down and savor it. Honestly, it's probably the best hot chocolate I've ever had. Adding the whipped cream brings a whole new level to the drink. If you visit after 3 pm, you can enjoy tea time which includes small sandwiches and sweets plus a cup of hot chocolate for 25 euros. There are plenty of other options if you come by at a different time or are not interested in high tea. While Angelina is quite large and the servers do a good job of turning over the tables quickly, be prepared to wait. However, the line outside moves quickly, so don't let it stop you from visiting. If anything, you'll get some time to look through the menu and the gift shop. If you're just visiting the gift shop, you don't need to wait in line. read more

This review is for takeaway only because I didn't feel like waiting in the cold to be cramped inside. This cafe is SUPER BUSY all the time no matter what time of the day it is there's a line outside. I ordered the hot chocolate and it did not disappoint. Walking in the cold, into the jardin du Tuileries with my hot cocoa and sipping it was truly a great experience, one that is quintessential to being in Paris, in the 9th arondissment. Their mini Mont Blancs were to die for -- you get the traditional chestnut, pistachio and raspberry. All were good and not too sweet, to my surprise! I will be back for more goodies and for that hot chocolate! read more

We visited Angelina twice during our visit to Paris - once at the location by the Lourve and another time at Versailles - and we enjoyed both times. I saw this spot recommended by a lot of folks during my trip planning, but I didn't realize just how popular it was until we visited the location by the Louvre and waited for over an hour in line before being seated. They are known for their hot chocolate and sweets, which is honestly all they serve most of the times of day. The hot chocolate was VERY good - it was quite hot and had a great mouth feel being thick but smooth. It also wasn't too sweet; it seemed semi-sweet which made it easier to drink the whole pitcher lol. We liked our pastries at Versailles best - cheese cake and roche praline. They were both fantastic and we finished both. At the Louvre location we got the famous mont blanc, a chocolate eclair, and another traditional dessert that had layers of flaky pastry and creme. All three of these were decent, but not quite our favorites and we didn't finish them. I think trying the Mont Blanc is a right of passage when visiting Paris, so I'd recommend giving it a try for the experience mostly! read more

My first visit here was 25 years ago and again 23 years ago and most recently in 2022. I have to say that I love this place and I love how the menu has evolved and really expanded while still maintaining all of the classic and traditional food and drink items. Of course, there was a line and the place is full of tourists but also good to see some actual local French people here. By far this is the best hot chocolate in town and also the sweetest hot chocolate in town. Pricing is on the higher end especially when you consider its location and it's iconic reputable brand name. However, it is still decent fair pricing, considering overall Paris is quite expensive. This is a must out for me every time I visit the city. read more

Went to Angelina and stood in a long line outside, hoping for a good meal, but unfortunately, it was pretty disappointing. The food was served cold -- my eggs were cold, and when I asked about it, they took my dish to reheat it and brought it back, but it was still cold and lacked flavor. The coffee was cold and watery too, which was a letdown. Overall, it wasn't worth the wait. Definitely not what I was expecting, especially considering the hype. read more

4 stars for the Mont Blanc. If you love chestnut desserts. You have to try this! We waited in line for a bit to dine in after visiting the Louvre. There is another line to visit the boutique where you can take out the desserts and drinks to go. We came here with the intention of trying the world's best hot chocolate. Maybe my expectations were too high. I had the iced chocolate which I found was very thick and hard to drink because of how rich it was. It essentially tasted like a melted chocolate bar that was cooled down. Could only manage to drink half of it! My afternoon tea partner had the hot chocolate which came deconstructed for you to pour and add the whipped cream on top. I wish I opted for this instead. The star of the show was the Mont Blanc. The chestnut cream wasn't too sweet and it was a very delicate yummy dessert. The interior of this cafe is very chic. Great for photos. I would come back again to try the menu items but won't order the iced chocolate. read more

The food was very good, the servers were nice. The seating was tiny downstairs but looks like they had more space upstairs.

Great place if you want to try some authentic French cuisine, mainly breakfast items. There was a big line and it took 30 mins for is to get in. We ordered the croissant, hot chocolate and mont blanc. Honestly I feel the hot chocolate was over rated. It was rich and creamy at the same time it was bitter. I like the L.A. Burdick hot chocolate better. But the croissant and Mont blanc dessert was out of the world. Especially Mont blanc that was made out of chestnut. Tasted very similar to an Indian dessert. Loved it! Must try! read more

We went 2:30 on a Saturday and wait was an hour plus. Hot chocolate was very good but service terrible compared to our last visit a year and half ago. No water was offered and would not let us split the hot chocolate order (which we did last time) while servers tables around us were allowed to split the pot. She did not check on us once while there basically ignored. We had to ask get attention of another waiter for bill. I also remember receiving little chocolates with hot chocolate order as well in the past. Very disappointed taking our son there for this experience. Definitely not worth standing in long line. read more

When in Paris, you MUST try the hot chocolate (chocolat chaud)--it is truly an experience! Angelina is one of the most iconic tea rooms and pastry shops in all of Paris. Be forewarned, there will be a line, however for a party of 2 we only had to wait in line about 15-20 minutes. After touring the Louvre all morning, Angelina was a perfect nearby stop to satisfy that sweet tooth before exploring the Jardin des Tuileries on a beautiful spring day. We had the classic chocolat chaud, a mocha, the mont-blanc, and the rocher praliné. I will say for two people, this was WAY too much chocolate (did I really just say that...?) and we didn't finish all of it--but dang, it was GOOD! It was all so rich and delicious, but next time I would like to just have the hot chocolate and some macarons. read more

Angelina has a charming interior with lovely artwork decorating the walls. The tables are on the smaller side, but the friendly service more than makes up for it. I tried the brunch, and it was really flavorful and satisfying. A great place for a relaxed breakfast! read more

A tourist trap and one you want to avoid. Everything we ordered was decent but definitely not worth the time or price we paid, especially since there are a ridiculous number of cafes and bakeries in the city for your pastry/brunch needs. Service was below average, I guess they have so many guests coming in that they really don't care about going the extra mile to be friendly or attentive. We got out of the Louvre hungry and this spot is close to it and the Tuileries and had so many reviews. We picked it for the convenience and should have walked away looking at the lines outside but were also excited to see what the hype was about. We ordered the Parisian brunch, that came with croissants, pain au chocolate, jam/honey, their famous chocolate chaud, eggs benedict and french toast. Also ordered their monte blanc which we could barely get through. Their hot chocolate and french toast was good but not worth the price in my opinion. Croissants were rather average. Overall the meal was just one flavor profile and sweet and really did not have any dimension to it. read more

Angelina is definitely a very touristy spot. If you get here, you're more than likely to have to wait in a line. The line moves pretty quickly though, so it's definitely worth the wait.

Angelina - Hot chocolate - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Paris, 75

Angelinas is known for their world famous hot chocolate and signature mont blanc. we ordered: *old fashioned hot chocolate $12 *signature mont-blanc $12 *trocadero $11.50 this was the fanciest hot chocolate i've ever tried lol. it was fun assembling it and mixing in the whipped cream but honestly taste wise, it was eh and a bit too sweet and thick for me. i was also not a big fan of the mont blanc (chestnut dessert) but the trocadero was soo yummy. it's made with hazelnut and chocolate and reminded me of ferrero rocher. I had high expectations but this kind of fell short of them. This is just my preference. If you prefer a thicker and richer hot chocolate, then I would recommend you give this spot a try! read more

You must go before 10 am unless you don't mind waiting an hour or two. They are almost always busy, so don't expect quick service.

When in Paris one must visit one of the most famous cafes by stopping by Angelina! Reservations are strongly recommended but frequently get booked up months ahead of time. There was a long line when we visited, but it actually moved fairly fast. We were in line for only 30 minutes or so. Currently you must show your health pass on the French COVID app to be seated, so be sure you have this beforehand. It's a large dining room inside with tables fairly close together. There is also a small store if you wish to buy anything to go. Tip: shop after your meal because you'll get a 10% off voucher with your meal. Our server was energetic and spoke very good English. A menu in English was also available. I tried the iced chocolate beverage. Extremely rich but still refreshing and surprisingly not overly sweet. For an entree I selected the fish and chips. It was excellent! Exceptionally crispy fish with a sort of panko coating that was not oily or greasy. The fries were of the shoestring type and also very good. Of course you must save room for dessert! I opted for the Rocher praline. A deliciously rich hazelnut treat that was perfectly sized and again not overly sweet. When in Paris definitely visit Angelina! read more

We went on a Sunday afternoon and were lucky that we only had to lineup for about 15mins for a table. We got the brunch experience which came with hot chocolate, pastries, a choice of a brunch dish, and choice of dessert dish. The hot chocolate was incredible and the richness was unlike anything we have tasted! However, the butter croissants were very average at best and the brunch dishes (we got the french toast and eggs benedict) were subpar. We also paid extra 10 Euro for the famous Mont Blanc which not only did the presentation look very sloppy, but we found out it's only 8 Euro if you buy from the counter! Overall, not worth the wait if you're looking to get a full sit down brunch. Much better deal skipping the line and buy directly from the counter and gift shop read more

We stopped into Angelina with high hopes--and it exceeded every single one. We were joking around when we walked in, not expecting to be totally blown away... but wow. We ordered the famous hot chocolate, and it truly lives up to the hype--rich, velvety, and unlike anything else we've ever tasted. I had the Corden Bleu, which was delicate and perfectly fragrant. For food, I went with the Eggs Benedict, and they were spot on--beautifully runny yolks and a sauce that was buttery and smooth. Then came dessert. We had the Charlotte cake, and honestly? It was out of this world. Light, flavorful, and beautifully presented. We also tried one of their seasonal specialties (wish I remembered the name), and it was just as incredible--decadent, balanced, and worth every bite. The entire experience--from the food to the ambiance--was awesome. Highly recommend if you're in Paris and want to treat yourself to something unforgettable. read more

Known for their hot chocolate which I can attest to is absolutely out of this world , delicious. Rich, sweet goodness.

I had a really lovely experience at Angelina when I was in Paris with my family. I also have a couple insider "impatient" tips from me so keep reading haha! The food: delicious! The pastries are fresh and flaky, the hot chocolate is decadent, rich, but not too sweet. Perfect for dipping! The ambience: gorgeous inside! It feels like a fancy hotel that was converted into an eating parlor of sorts. Beautiful... albeit a tad dim as the natural light from the windows only shines in towards the entrance. The wait: abysmal... but hey, it's popular! Here's my tip and what my family ended up doing: skip the line and grab pastries and hot chocolate to go, then enjoy it in the park across the street. They informed us when we arrived (during a weekday, mind you) that the wait would likely be a bit over 2 hours--yikes! This was solely for the folks who wanted to sit down, but there was no line for the little takeout cafe inside on the right. We grabbed some pastries and chocolate to go and had the absolute best experience in the park together. I'd certainly stop by if you're in Paris, but I don't think it's worth a 2+ hour wait. Skip the line if you can! read more

This was a fantastic experience and worth the wait in line. The decor is just so fun and I could see myself with some friends having brunch and catching up here. We ordered a number of things, but the stand outs were the Mont Blanc (not too sweet and lovely chestnut flavor), the hot chocolate (just a few sips is enough), croque madame (nice presentation and filling). A definite must when you are visiting Paris and near the Louve. read more

A must visit when in Paris. The hype is real and you will not be disappointed. The hot chocolate was perfectly balanced and truly one of a kind. We ordered the Millefeuille, the Mont Blanc, croissant sandwich, and French onion soup. All great, with the exception of the Mont Blanc, which we thought was just ok. Service was great, our waiter was patient and answered our questions. We waited about 35 minutes to be seated, but well worth it. My wife and I went back to get the Paris-Brest (great), Lemon Pie (great), and a new one can't remember the name. This place was/is LEGIT. Lastly, the atmosphere and ambiance totally fits the cuisine and occasion of visiting such a place. Take pictures, and enjoy your time here. read more
