A small and very cute bakery with very cute pastries! We picked up some tarts on our way to the Eiffel tower and I'm so glad we stopped by! Even though it was later in the afternoon, the tarts still looked delicious and tasted pretty fresh. The fruits were super sweet, the cream was relatively light, and the whole thing was so yummy! Took off a star though because there was a dead fly in the middle of the strawberry tart. But I just picked it off and kept eating the tart. read more

Recommended by Yelpers & the pastries were outrageous. So many beautiful pastries, how can I choose? Unfortunately everything was large there weren't any miniatures. A line was formed out the door here. There is an express breakfast from seven until 11 in the morning 2 1/2 euros for an espresso and croissant. I enjoyed a warm flaky tart Tatin while my husband got a chocolate Opera cake slice. There were a few tables out of the door, we sat outdoors & enjoyed. Obscene!!! read more

Quick stop at this bakery for coffee and an chocolate eclair. Both were very good. Only a little English spoken, so work on Spanish or pointing. In hindsight, I wish I had ordered a different eclair as while it had chocolate icing, I did not expect it to be stuffed with chocolate. It was good and the pastry perfect, but just too much chocolate for me. Great patio ambiance to watch people in the nearby park. read more

We stopped here for some pastries and croissants while staying at a nearby hotel. This neighborhood bakery has a wide selection of sweets and savory goodies. We were glad the staff spoke some English so ordering was quite easy. I lost count of how many croissants that were consumed during our Paris trip. The croissants are so soft and airy with a light buttery flavor. The pastries are so divine. My fave was the fraisier cake which is a classic French cake made with layers of genoise, strawberries and marizipan. It was moist and not too rich. The pistachio pastry was also excellent. The pistachio cream is topped with fresh raspberries on a pistachio macaron. This bakery was a gem that we stumbled upon. The prices are very reasonable. It does get busy during the mid morning rush but the line moves really fast. read more

We ate here because it was incredibly close to our hotel, and I am glad we found this place via Yelp! The owner and the servers were so cordial, and helped us pick out a number of goodies to get the day started right. The coffee was hot and the depth of flavor is indescribable. My husband fell in love with this place so much we ended up visiting twice during our stay. Both their sweet and savory goodies were cooked to perfection ... you can definitely tell that there were quality ingredients used because each bite was delectable. The crispness of the pastry (I cant get that beautiful crunch sound out of my head!) was perfect, and the ratio of filling to pastry dough was the perfect amount as well. I have to admit that the servers were so kind and accommodating of all of my questions regarding products used during the baking process due to my nut allergies. I would definitely recommend this place - great food and wonderful service! read more

Delicious pastries and crepes. Very friendly staff and small area to sit outside. Definitely recommend!!

Love love love this place! We stayed at the hotel on the same street and it was the perfect spot. We came downstairs every morning for fresh baguettes, sandwiches, and pastries. It was dangerously delicious! Everything looked amazing and tasted even more amazing! Most of the staff speaks English and when they don't, you start the hand gestures. We loved their cafe Eclairs, the Paris Brest and mini beignet pastries, the full baguette is a no brainer, and their variety of sammiches....YUM! The first time we were there, we forgot about butter. So we asked and they gave us these tiny cubes of butter, 2 for 1 euro. Usually they come with the bread at restaurants, but no biggie. Luckily I had a euro left in my purse from my other trip to Europe. (we went to the grocery store across the way and got a big tub of butter that lasted for the week, lol) I loved the baguette salami and gherkin sammich, the ham and cheese baguette sammich, the smoked salmon baguette sammich, and the prosciutto baguette sammich! Oh! Their freshly made crepes was sooo good after dinner. I got the Speculoos one, it's a spread from the Biscoff biscuits. My mouth is salivating as I'm reviewing this. I believe we came here 8 out of the 10 days we were here, we even bought the same items for dinner one night. We just loved how convenient it was to get breakfast and how fresh all the food were. We'll be back for sure if we're back in the same area. read more

Great market to try all sorts of pastries and French desserts! They had tons of fresh items to pick from. I got a small box of 4 macarons that were absolutely delicious! They were very friendly to English-only speakers and helped us select what flavors we wanted. I don't remember the exact price but fairly consistent with other shops. This is a great place to wander around and try a few treats, highly recommend read more

I'm writing this review as I devour my cafe au lait. The negative reviews must be from patrons who don't attempt to speak French or look annoyed. AT the very least TRY to speak the basic French (hello, please, etc). I've been in Paris for 5 days and I haven't received bad service or attitude by anyone (I've gone to the non touristy places) probably because I've tried with a smile. The food: the pastries and the coffee were delicious. Damn am I going to miss Paris. read more

We stayed at Hotel Joke and were directed here by Xavier, the gentleman who checked us in. "If you want to eat like an American, we have a breakfast buffet. If you want to eat like a Parisian, go to the bakery on the corner." This was our first actual purchase of Parisian croissant and baguette. So, you know those people you've met who have been to Paris and just annoy the hell out of you? They say things like, "Yeah, it's okay... but nothing like what we had in Paris." Don't you just want to strangle them? Well, go to Paris. You'll come back and annoy all of your friends. We got a typical Parisian breakfast here just about every day. At different times, I had croissant, croissant au chocolat, baguette, cafe American and a few other things. Everything was divine. The croissant was such a departure from anything I've had in the States. Light, flaky, buttery... amazing. The baguette was a perfect blend of crusty and chewy. They put butter and jam on the baguette... So, butter. Butter is right up there with wine as "a constant proof that God loves us, and loves to see us happy." (Benjamin Franklin, 1779... he was talking about wine; not beer) This is going to sound really stupid, but the butter we had in France was unlike anything I've ever had. Salty, creamy, rich... just incredible. So, take a perfect French baguette from Artisan Boulanger Patissier, slather it with French butter and throw on some jam. Just thinking about it makes me want to go start looking for airline tickets. One other thing... I've read a few reviews here where the staff is regarded as rude and even "racist". Don't complain about people in Paris who don't speak English. It's Paris, FRANCE. I took French in High School and one semester in college, so I had a tiny advantage (it was almost 30 years ago). But, a phrase book and some time with Duolingo or Memrise a few weeks before you go will get you pretty far. If you make an *attempt* to order in French, you'll be amazed at how attitudes change. YOU are the foreigner... not them. And if you act like that, you'll be treated well. Don't be the American tourist that makes them hate the rest of us. Also, "racism" is such an overused word. Travel a bit and you'll find that "racism" in the US is pretty mild. We found skin color to be no big deal in Europe, but ethnicity was a HUGE deal as was their animosity towards gypsies and Muslims. It's a different culture... you're there to observe; not judge. read more

Loves this place. Was 100 feet from our AirBnB, and we bought pastries here every morning for breakfast. Just a solid neighborhood Paris bakery. Super-flaky croissants and pastries (the proof was all of the crumbs under our kitchen table). My better half greatly ejoyed their pear tart. This is not a shi shi bakery where you feel you are paying for a fancy storefront or exta time spent on decorations. Just solid pastries, breads, and bakery fare. read more

This was just your typical French bakery, which in itself was great. The staff were friendly enough but the pastries were amazing! We tried the caramel eclair and a small pie and both were gone too quickly. read more

Went back twice more. Once the server was standing doing nothing and when I waited and then tried to order she abruptly told me the ladies still looking through the cases were ahead of me. I backed off. The next time I came in I was the next in line and began my order. I hesitated just a few seconds and was told (in very rapid french - translated by a nice English lady) that the server would wait on someone else and get back to me. Contradictory responses from the same server. I must say that over the last 12 days in France (7 in Paris), shopping, touring and eating all over, this was the first time I encountered someone not only unhelpful and unfriendly, but with a nasty attitude. Their pastries are still very good (4 stars), but they go down to 3 stars (if not lower) due to the very poor service. By the way, there are at least two other shops in the neighborhood which had BOTH excellent products and good service. read more

This was another favorite spot of ours on Rue Cler. The sandwiches are simple, nothing fancy. However, It's the bread..... OMG, the Baguettes are so fresh and delicious. We observed the locals in the morning/evening purchasing the bread (by itself) and just noshing on the Baguette while walking home. It's that good. Oh. Let me tell you about the Macarons. This was our first time experiencing Macorons. (yes, it was an experience). Holy $h!t ....... Macarons are just divine....... they are little pillows of ecstasy. You savor every bite. We bought boxes of Macarons to take back to our hotel in London (we ate them every night when we returned back to our hotel). I don't know how these Macarons stack up against the famous Pierre Hermé Macarons but the Artisan Boulanger Patissier has a special place in our hearts. read more

Can only comment on the traditional baguette - it was delicious. Traditional is mandated by the French government in 1993 with a decree that created a special designation: "the bread of French tradition." That bread has to be made exclusively with flour, salt, water and leavening -- no additives. The "tradition," as it is called, is more expensive than the ordinary baguette, which uses additives, a fast-rising process and mechanization. It seems like a mainly French speaking establishment and service was good. read more

I moved to an apartment near this boulangerie a few months ago and the ladies that work there as well as the baker are all very nice people. I have to laugh at the Yelper that said they weren't about to learn their language to ask about a pastry item. How about trying to learn just a few basic sentences or questions then? I didn't speak much French when I moved here, but I did try to learn a few basics to interact with the people. In any case, about the bread and pastries. They are great. I often get my breakfast croissant or pain au chocolat here or from another boulangerie down the street. If you come here in the morning, you'll be treated to their fresh baked croissants, pain au chocolat and other items. The straight out of the oven croissants and pain au chocolat are soft, buttery and melt in your mouth. The chocolate in the pain au chocolat at that point is still liquid and gooey. I could probably eat 2 of each all in one go, when they're that fresh. Granted, if you get the same things a day later they're not so good. They get a bit dry, but I know I've experienced the same from the other boulangeries because they don't really use conservateurs (I chose that the word that preserves things - if you know French, you'll know why. Haha.). Their 'tradition' (baguette type) is also very good. Crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. But when you get a tradition, eat it the same day. The beignets are small, round and always filled with something (caramel, apple jam, apricots jam, etc.). I think they're pretty good. read more

We stopped here every morning and night for fresh pastries and bread! 1 euro for a baguette! I was I total heaven! Across the street was the most wonderful cheese shop which accompanied my bread under the Eiffel Tower every night! Great service and amazing pastries and brEad. We even got a quiche and had that for a late night snack! Love shopping right on our street! read more

Two ladies work here and neither of them speak english. The shop is super cute filled with yummy looking pastries, desserts and bread. We came in specially for a baguette and dessert for our picnic by the Eiffel Tower. We bought a baguette and a chocolate filled eclaire for €3,50. I guess it's cheap...but i have nothing else to compare it to. It was certainly delicious! The only reason I didn't give it more stars is because one of the ladies seemed irritated that she had to help Americans who don't speak French. But it wasn't anything that would leave me with a bad taste about Paris and it's wonderful people! read more

Artisan Boulanger Pâtissier - Chocolate filled eclaire - Bakeries Near Me - Paris, 75

The Artisan Boulanger Pâtissier was an average 3/5 star pastry shop... i had the macarons - chocolate, vanilla, and apricot. It wasn't spectacular nor memorable. There's a better Boulanger Pâtissier called Bretteau Jean-Marie Boulangerie patisserie 2 minutes away... Where I had better macarons. The service at artisan was awful. One of the ladies was nice enough, but the other who helped me with my macarons, was rude and it felt like I wasn't welcomed and I wasting her time. When across the street at the le TriBeCa restaurant, even the servers told me to go to the Bretteau Jean-Marie Boulangerie patisserie and not to the artisan patisserie. read more

Underwhelming croissants. For 1 euro, you're better off going to just about any other boulangerie in the area. We found these croissants lacked the airy interior and crispy/flakey exterior you'd expect. read more

Found this little gem by our hotel. My hubby and I loved it, and plan on going back for more this week. Inexpensive compared to many other boulangers. Good food read more

The staff are rude, the baguette stale. I gave it two stars as it was the only one opened at that time. C'est dommage!

My favorite boulangerie on Rue Cler, and some of the best pastries I had in Paris... and I've had A LOT of pastries in Paris! There's a nice selection of breads and pastries inside - fantastic croissants and pain au chocolat - and an outdoor kiosk with savory stuff like quiches and croque-monsieur. A few seats under the awning outside, if you want to eat there. Good prices, too: €1 for a croissant seems pretty fair to me! Very friendly service. They don't speak much English, but we always managed to figure it all out, even when making sure my girlfriend's tree nut allergy wouldn't be a problem. I just wish they opened a little earlier, so we could have gotten a few baguettes to bring home with us! read more

We went here daily for some pastries and especially the bread! The "tradition" baguette is fabulous. Our family consumed 4 each day. The eclairs are also delicious. I can't recommend the macarons there. I had one and it was just okay. read more

This is a decent shop. Go further and get to a Cyril Lgnac shop for the best pastries.

We had the pastry with sliced pears on it. One of the single best pastries I've had and makes this place worth the trip. That being said, I give it a 4/5 because we had the eclairs which were lackluster. read more

Never got to try the food as when we asked a question about something, we got the "I don't speak English" in perfect English. I don't speak French and I'm not going to learn the entire language just to ask about a pastry item. Even if she "couldn't speak English", an attempt to talk to us would have been great. This really put a bad taste in my mouth regarding my trip to Paris as I've always heard this type of thing happens, but I've never experienced it. read more

While visiting Paris, my husband and I ate lunch here everyday! The hans and cheese with salad on baguette was DELICIOUS! The chocolate eclair was absolutely amazing!!!! Crepes were yummy also!!! The staff was very friendly and there's also a nice little spot to sit under heaters! read more

I was in Paris for 6 days and this was the only place that had the rudest lady at the counter. The neighborhood here is beautiful and all the shops seems friendly enough, but this lady was just foul to be foul, don't know if it was because I didn't speak French but she had a horrible attitude and couldn't be bothered with me buying a croissant which was easy enough. I went there a second time thinking she may have had a bad day as my hotel was in the neighborhood and again, such horrible behavior to show a customer. I would not spend any of your money here, walk a block down and there is a great pastry shop on Rue Cler and Avenue de la Motte-Picquet. From reading the other reviews, apparently I was not the only person she was rude to. Does not deserve your business just on this fact alone. read more

Amazing eclairs! Definitely get a (or a few) chocolate eclair from here! The quiche was also pretty good. Underwhelming croissants though. Friendly staff, convenient location, and nice place. read more

This is a very busy little patisserie in the 7th. It is lined up out the door at lunch with both locals and tourists. They have a great selection of sandwiches, and are a short walk to the Champs de Mars. We really enjoyed getting a couple of sandwiches and eating them in the park. read more

A good baguette with the right mix of chewy and flavor. I enjoyed and would recommend you visit.

The most unfriendly shop we encountered while in Paris for 7 days! Just a half block from our hotel, we went here three times. The first time I asked the clerk (in French) if she spoke English. She simply said no, and made no attempt to serve us. We left. The next time, we looked around, but they ignored us so we left. The third time (we only went back again because it was our last day and my daughter really wanted macarons), we walked in and said Bonjour, to no response. The clerk (someone different) was on her phone and didn't bother to look up. A minute or so later I got a Bonjour reply, but still no eye contact. I asked if she spoke English, she said a little, and we made our purchase. But once she rang up the order and gave us our total (in French, which I didn't understand), she walked away and expected me to put my cash into the machine at the register. She never again made eye contact or said a word to us. Not thank you. Not goodbye. Not anything. It was an awful experience. I will not return. read more

This must be the WORST boulanger in paris. Low quality with high price, plus attitude! And I accidentaly witness a scene of discrimination towards a client from the owner of the shop, i'm profondly shocked of such nastiness. To AVOID!!! read more

By the way, the place's actual name is "Boulangerie Genest's" or just "Genest's". Strangely enough, the name is not on the shop (but you can find it on the tartelette au citron meringuée - or in the telephone directory). The sign "Artisan Boulanger Pâtissier" is just a generic sign that you can find on lots of bakeries, not a name. read more

I stayed on rue Cler for six days and visited this boulangerie nearly every day as the bread and pastries are so very good. I put up with the nasty attitudes for a while - there are two ladies in particular, I bet they are the same ladies mentioned in another review here - who go out of their way to be rude. I just ignored the attitudes and pushed ahead with ordering in French. On one occasion, I ordered a quiche - the lady spoke to me in English and asked if I wanted it hot. I replied "Oui, sil vous plait!". She then pretended to warm it in the oven and gave it to me stone cold! I was very angry. But I wasn't going to let her get the better of me, so the next day I visited the shop to buy macroons. Her and another lady basically insulted me to my face and asked me for 15 euros - a lot more than what I had paid for the same macroons only a few days before! So I repeat "Quinze?" She again insulted me in French, so I just spat at her "You don't have to treat me like a bitch!" Her and her colleague just burst into laughter, as of course they had been trying to provoke me all week. I walked out and will never set foot in that shop again. They way they treated me was absolutely disgusting and it appears that other customers feel the same way. My advice is to boycott this store and go to the other bread shops on rue Cler - they are just as good and the service is way nicer. I wouldn't give them your money, they don't deserve it. Its people like that who give the Parisians a bad name, when in fact most Parisians are very nice people when you make the effort to speak French. read more
