    absolutely the best crossiants we have found in Paris
    Jay M.

    This corner bakery/patisserie is located near the Republic Square area! It's a very typical Paris bakery, and they offer anything from pastries to quiches! Everything tastes and smell fresh baked! I would skip an opulent breakfast over their espresso and croissant any day! one of my personal goal is to find the best croissants in Paris each trip, and yet consistently, they have the best tasting ones, which are so flakey on the outside yet buttery and fluffy on the inside!

    All pastry was really good. My fav was the Quiche. The Quiche have onions and egg and the texture is soft and taste awesome when it is hot(first photo) Second photo has apple in the middle and is good because of how much apple is in the middle. Text is not quiet soft as a croissant but thicker as a whole when bitten. Third photo has raspberry in the middle and is good. This version of croissant has more crunchy texture but not too hard. The flavor is inside inside of the red outside.

    Sinful! This super busy and appropriately named bakery (Norman sins) is a wonderful and good value spot for lunch! The display cases are filled with luscious looking cakes, pastries and savoury lunch options. We managed to restrain ourselves and just have a salad and quiche - but it sure was tempting!!

    Pretty neat exterior -- apparently means 'sins of the Normans'

    Have been 6-8 times and in my lightly informed opinion it's the third best I have tried after Carton and French Bastards. I love the pistachio flan, the 'pudding' (bread pudding), the coconut flan and the pain aux raisins. My mother-in-law also loved the pain au chocolat and the brioche with sugar. The only not great thing I've tried is the croissants which are often overdone. That said I will gladly buy a tranche of 'pudding' and walk on over to the canal to sit and enjoy it.

    Assorted goodies.

    The pastries here are so insanely delicious that they can close on the weekends. Because there are so many people that want to eat their delicious croissant, pain au chocolat, or anything else during the week that they don't need the extra cash, and they obviously know how to live. Here's what you do: 1. Buy yourself anything at all. 2. Add in the pain aux raisins because it's my favorite. 3. Go eat it all by the canal. 4. Rejoice because this magical castle of deliciousness exists, and happiness can be bought there for under €5.

    Dealing with a bit of jet lag we couldn't sleep past 430 am. I think my hunger pangs had something to do with it as well. So now awake I get on Yelp. Trying to find something open is next to impossible. So here we are doing our do diligence in our search of our next epicurean experience. Then Bam!!! My fiancé finds this place that opens at 6 am. I didn't even notice that it had 5 star reviews until I decided to write my own review of the establishment. Well, this place did not disappoint whatsoever!! The pastries were out of this world delicious!!! I uploaded a picture of our selections. I say, " try them all"!

    Large selection, something for everyone. We had an almond and chocolate pastry, strawberry tart, a potatoes and sardine cold salad, tomato and mozzarella bread, and a salmon and chive quiche. All of which were so yummy.

    Best bakery/cafe I found on my entire trip! They've got multiple cases full of every type of pastry, plus a section with prepared food. Went totally crazy and tried: + mixed green salad with cantaloupe and prosciutto + mini pizza with tomatoes and pesto + peach tart + chocolate bread + almond croissant + plain croissant + apple turnover The peach tart was perfection. The almond croissant was as amazing as any I've ever eaten. The plain one may be the best I've ever had. The apple turnover was bomb.com. Only disappointment was the chocolate bread, which was too tough and not worth the effort. The "real food" (the salad and pizza) was also delicious, not to mention much needed after the pastry marathon. They heated the pizza up there which is a plus, and have a few tables to sit at.

    I've had a fair amount of croissants in France, living here for over a year and it's easy to find mediocre croissants but hard to find exceptional croissants. My friends and I had gone down the street to Du Pain et des Idees for escargots and they had gotten a croissant there the day before, which was smaller, more expensive and not as good as the croissants here. For just a little over a euro, you can get a delicious, fresh, flaky croissant. It has flaky layers and it was crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside, just as it should be. Overall, a wonderful place with a wide variety of pastries, breads and other viennoiseries. Worth a visit if you're in the area and craving something sweet.

    It was Valentines Day and I was craving some desserts. This was near our Airbnb so we walked over and saw some really cute Valentine's Day themed desserts. I wanted to buy everything but I knew I wouldn't finish all of them. We went around closing time so they didn't have that much left.

    We wanted to sample a variety of artisan bakery items while we were in Paris and boy did we get lucky that our hotel was a short walk away! We happened to visit around lunch time on a weekday and it was so busy but the clerks were extremely efficient and very kind! I am fairly comfortable rattling off French food items, but if I was unclear, she took a moment to confirm and it went smoothly. If you visit in autumn, do not miss their seasonal apple beignets! Lovely place. I hope to go back one day!

    Sweet Lord of tasty treats. I don't know that you will find a better situation to be in when hungry just arriving from the airport. Coffee, Sandwich and Quiche all taken to the Republique Square for a nice little lunch. Perfect! 5 Stars for obvious reasons above.

    Located next to Place de La Republique, this artisan boulangerie and patisserie serves many locals. It's right between Republique metro station and Canal St Martin. I'm lucky enough to live within 3-5 minutes of this place, and have yet to eat anything that isn't delicious here. The staff is generally very patient and nice. They speak some English if necessary. I usually just buy some stuff to go, but they also have a little bar where you can eat your croissant and cafe. Also don't miss out on their sweets and little stand for sandwiches and panini's. It's really very tasty. Too bad they are closed on weekends.

There was a line at the door, but it moved fairly quickly. Once inside, you're in a beautiful Beaux-Arts salon. Service generally is very good. The Chocolat Chaud is superb. There are other savories and sweets on the menu here. This time we tried a Mont-Blanc (3/5). I know this is Angelina's signature pastry, but to me it couldn't compete with the Chocolat Chaud.

    Angelina, Paris, France -- April 12…read more Our family of four with kids ages 9 and 10 stopped here for lunch after visiting the Louvre, drawn in by its reputation for having the best hot chocolate in the world. We were looking for a place to relax and refuel, and the experience felt a bit mixed overall. Arrival and First Impressions The space is elegant with classic Parisian charm. The line moved quickly, and we were seated with a great view of the dining room. It felt refined but still comfortable. The Highlights The famous hot chocolate lived up to expectations, thick, rich, and almost more like a dessert than a drink. We also had French onion soup and an éclair, both of which were very good. The pastries were clearly well made and thoughtfully prepared. The kids had chicken tenders, which they enjoyed, even though the tomato sauce was a bit different from what they expected. The Challenges The biggest drawback was the price. The meal felt expensive for what we ordered, coming in at €154 for a fairly simple lunch. Service felt slightly rushed as they moved tables along quickly. Final Thoughts We would likely return if we were nearby and specifically craving the hot chocolate again. It is a classic Paris stop and worth trying once, but the value may not justify going out of your way unless that signature experience is high on your list.

Since it was a warm summer afternoon, I went for the Chocolat Glacé, their iced chocolate, which was a refreshing choice after walking around the neighborhood. We were too full to try any of the pastries, but the display was beautiful and made it very tempting to come back. In addition to their signature hot chocolate, they also offer a wonderful selection of French pastries, macarons, croissants, crêpes, and other sweet treats. One thing that's helpful to know before visiting is that the Montmartre branch is a takeaway pastry boutique rather than a full-service café or restaurant. Before arriving, I had imagined it would be more of a traditional Parisian tea salon with table service, but this location is designed for grabbing a drink or pastry to enjoy while exploring Place du Tertre. Knowing that beforehand helps set the right expectations. The staff member who assisted us at the counter was friendly and welcoming, making for a pleasant stop. The location itself is part of the experience. Right in the heart of Place du Tertre, surrounded by artists and the charm of Montmartre, it's an easy place to pop into for a sweet break while sightseeing. If you're visiting during the warmer months, I'd definitely recommend the iced chocolate. And if you have a bigger appetite than we did, the pastry selection looked impressive enough to make me want to return just for dessert.

Although while washing my hands inside one of the waitresses did come beside me and basically shoved me out of my way to place a serving tray on the sink in front of me??? Food is nothing to write home about but just aesthetically pleasing. I traveled with my 3 nieces who said the hot chocolate was too sweet and they're kids!
