A good bakery is hard to come by believe it or not. Lots have pretty cakes but do they taste as…read moregood as they look more then half the time that's a no. This little bakery is right on the corner it's hard to miss by the colors lol. I always find good spots before leaving and that's what happened with this bakery. Few days ago this place was closed but when we drove by a second time POOF open. We came in and you could tell right away the desserts looked better then the normal ones you see at every store. We grabbed coissant, baguette, desserts and left happy. I loved everthing I tried it was out of this world how creamy and fabulous each pastry was. Well done ladies :)

this pain au chocolat was good. i liked it but idk if it's like technically that good. the outside…read morewas crispy and the inside was soft but a lot more of the inside was soft than i was expecting. like i was expecting a lot more crisp in the 3rd-5th layers. also the pastry def overpowered the chocolate. again. this is something that i like. but also. i am not french

Ordered: Croissant (~€2)…read morePain au Chocolat (~€3) Chausson aux Pommes (~€3) Madeleine Glacée (~€2) Baguette (~€2) Aya's take: Blé Sucré is another bakery that is highly recommended and I had to make it my last stop before leaving Paris! I got a few pastries and it was still early enough that they were still warm! The Croissant was probably the best I had on this trip. It helped that the Croissant was fresh and warm, but it was also crispy on the outside and buttery & flaky on the inside. The Pain au Chocolat was also great but it could have used more chocolate for my liking. The Chausson aux Pommes was sweet, slightly acidic from the apples, and definitely heavier of the pastries. I've also never had fresh madeleines before and knew this would be the place to try them. The Madeleine Glacée were buttery and lightly sweet; these actually go so well with a cup of coffee or just a bite if you need a quick snack. All in all, great try!

Now some of these pastries didn't have descriptions so went purely off of how they looked lol. We also got some "donuts". I will say they were all fresh and moist and just yummy. Idk what exactly I was eating but they were sweet lol. Bf got an expresso he liked it. I would come back !!

This place was my morning commute...I sometimes forget how easy it is to have FRESH baked goods…read morethat I tend to overbuy. I tend to shop like I am never coming back to the store again. I came back one morning with tons of stuff and Frenchie asked me why in the hell did I just buy all that...I guess it takes away the concept of being "fresh". *sigh* I can't help it.....force of habit - I tend to do this in the States too. I shop like I live on a deserted island. Crepes and Tartelettes were good and not to mention beignets. I hate donuts, but why do I love these little tiny deep-fried dough?

Multi cultural, honoring the diversity of humanity, this area is authentic and real.

Fair warning, it will be hard to get another baguette after this one. It's just perfect. They ask you how you want it: well done or not and it's always a hit. The place is extremely clean! I appreciate that a lot. Finally: they also sell big loafs of bread you can to be sliced individually, so if you'd like a rustic more country-style bread, you can literally ask for a slice. This is perfect for couples who just want to have a slice of fresh warm bread in the morning for an avocado toast or a simple almond butter toast with honey. The bread is literally OUT-of-this-WORLD. Oh, now, finally: the pastries are just to cry for. I'm not a sweet-type of person, but when you see some of the cakes they have, you just can't help yourself. Their pistachios EVERYTHING are just incredible. Their madeleines too for a quick afternoon tea. Out of control. I can't recommend this place more. It's a staple in our neighborhood. So lucky to have this close-by.

Further, they are absolutely scrumptious! We've had many treats, savory & sweet, and will definitely return for more. Their chocolate croissant is pretty darn good and 1,20€.

It's true. There is…read morenothing in the world quite like a kugelhopf. I expected it to be like a bundt cake, dense and juicy. Rather, it was a contrasting experience from beginning to the end. The outside was crispy, almost flaky while the inside was soft and sort of stretchy, like it almost wanted to be a croissant. The rum raisins and nuts were a surprise but the best part was the syrup on the bottom of the kugelhopf, which gave it even more juiciness just when you thought it was getting a little dry. We ate this every day of varying sizes while we stayed in Paris. We had the individual size, which my hubz liked the best, and we got the mid ranged one, which I liked the best because I tend to like salty things while my hubz likes his food sweet. The bigger it is, the less sweet it is, since there is more of the saltier stretchy inside. LOVE. The millefeuille (aka a napolean), is also out of this world, with a thick custard center and flaky layers. The baguette is good, the croissant is good, and the financier is so moist and almondy you're going to kick yourself in the behind you didn't get it until the very last day (i did, anyway). I love the kugelhopf so much I made a video about it on my food blog. check it out http://seekingfood.blogspot.com/2011/06/honeymoon-day-1-paris-france.html here is a video of the place in case you would rather watch vs. read: http://www.tripfilms.com/Travel_Video-v78280-Paris-Vandermeersch_Boulangerie_The_Kugelhopf-Video.html
