THE BEST BAKERY IN PARIS. I think they actually won lots of awards to prove this. :)…read more Accidentally found this place near our hotel and and jumped in line behind all the locals to buy fresh bread. (Hey, if the locals are lining up, then it MUST be good.) Ate the pain au chocolate and loved it so much that we went back the next day to get more. Also tried the butter croissant. Everything was so buttery and flaky and delicious. Tried to go back a third time before our flight out on Monday, but turned out the shop was closed. :'( My bf says this place is the #2 must-go to place in Paris behind Eiffel Tower. Behind Eiffel Tower and before the Louvre. ;)

I came here for breakfast while in Paris and was overwhelmed with all the delicious options here. Service is quick and the lines move fast. I was disappointed that they didn't offer hot chocolate here. In any case, we ordered croissants and pain au chocolat and they were pretty good but not very memorable. Perhaps not the best we ever had in Paris, but definitely really good!

Oh how I wish I could give this bakery more stars. Ever since I moved into the neighborhood I have…read moretried the various bakeries in the area at least a dozen times each. L'Atelier des Pain was poised to become the neighborhood star, the breads looked more interesting (e.g. cacao bread), the pastries had a more refined flair to them (e.g. violette éclaire), but each experience failed to live up to my expectations. The bread is good, but nothing spectacular, the pastries the same. I even brought a croissant aux amandes back because the inside frangipane was raw, which is something I never usually do, but it was the second time that had happened! The owner was very sweet and replaced it with a much better galette des rois, but still, how can something like that happen -- twice? Needless to say I rarely frequent this bakery, preferring to get my bread and viennoiseries from Crazy Cake closer to the Canal.

Sadly I missed the risqué Flappers and the Golden Age of Art Deco, but a hundred years later Paris nouveau is still drop dead gorgeous and the city of light! Zelda Fitzgerald hero worshipping aside, fabulous cafés are everywhere across Paris. One such café is Le Savio. A true Parisian café! If you've never been to Paris... it has hands down the best cafés in the world. Period. Yet, you'll also discover that many cafés open later in the mornings. So to avoid early morning disappointment plan ahead. Fortunately Le Savio was located just around the corner from my Bed & Breakfast in the Madeleine District. Le Savio can be described as a fancy coffee shop, as the decor dictates, and the baristas are more cultured (if that makes any sense lol). If you know, you know;). French spoken here but if versed in the basics of "bonjour", "croissant", and "café latté" you need not worry. I arrive at 7:00am, hoping to get a bite before my first showing at the Louvre. Parisians already fill the counter, from blue collar to those in haute couture. I manage to find a seat at the end. My senses immediately pick up the rich aroma of freshly brewed French coffee and I notice a fresh basket of croissants. Ahhh. I order my "chocolat croissant" and "café latté" s'il te plaît. I'm in Heaven... In the end, I recommend Le Savio for those looking for exquisite coffee. It's not your traditional café per se and I'm led to believe that it really picks up for the lunch menu. Perhaps. I don't know as I became a regular only in the early morning hours. Oh! si tu pouvais lire dans mon coeur, tu verrais la place où je t'ai mise! Ahh Paris...

Tons of competition in the local area near Madeline district of Paris for the working lunch crowd…read more I did not eat at the regular sit-down restaurant but at the adjacent take-way/fast lunch venue. Somewhat crowded. They have several variety of sandwiches in baguettes. I choose a quiche Lorraine and the soup of the day (cauliflower). The quiche was fine but the soup had zero taste. I am a cauliflower fan and I couldn't stomach finishing this soup. To top it all, I was hungry. A second visit is not necessary.

They come in at 2AM and start baking. We had breakfast there everyday after we found it. We would even buy sandwiches and bread, put them in the room and have those for dinner when we came back late from our activities for the day. Pure joy. I can't think of a single item that we had that we didn't like. Salad, bread, pasties, sandwiches, crepes, some swiss pistachio thing. Even the coffee was great. They speak well enough english that you can get by - what are you really doing - just pointing at things that look good!!

I was expecting more based on the great reviews. I had a chocolate crepe. It was fine (are crepes…read morein France ever not fine?) but nothing special. My husband really disliked the sandwich he got. About the only good thing I can say is that the prices are very reasonable (both the sandwich and my crepe were only 3 euros each).

The croissants were great and hit the spot for breakfast. The man we ordered from was very nice and didn't seem to mind my very mispronounced "bonjours" and "mercis". Not too many restaurants in the area open early. This was one of few. As we were ordering, a lady next to me noticed we were not French. She asked where we from and told me we chose a really good place to eat on our vacation. So that goes to show even the locals love this place! Wish we could've gone back a second time to try the crepes but we were only in Paris for a day and a half. Next time though!

We grabbed a few pastries and a coffee (the only beverage, I believe) and savored crisp sweet deliciousness. Pain au raisin was one we both enjoyed. The almond croissant was also very good. Service was friendly. I don't mind if they reply in English; one time they did and one time they didn't. It was simple enough for me to follow. Did I mention the bread aromas from a block away? It was a great simple bakery and I'll miss going.

Came back another day and I tried another pastry which had apple inside which was also outstanding. Everyone else ordering food was a local. I was only tourist. I am jealous of the locals that live in the area and can frequent the place on a regular basis
