    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.

    Oh my goodness! What a wonderful treat on my Paris trip…read more I ventured off alone during the day after family was touristy tired. The best French pastries ever. Thank you so much for the wonderful treats. I will savor them for three days. I asked in French if the ladies spoke English and they were kind enough to oblige. They were about an hour from closing but everything I got was so yummy. All the best. Ms. C.

Literally everything I tried was amazing and I tried quite a few things. And it's not just the vacation bias, since I did try other bakeries in the neighborhood that were very mediocre. Mille Feuille: Loved how the dry flaky layers contrasted the creamy layers. Éclairs au Chocolat: My French is weak so I thought I was getting vanilla cream filled, so the chocolate ganache was surprising. But a pleasant surprise as it was super rich, playing nicely against the choux shell. Canelés: Perfectly crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. It tasted like there was some hint of alcohol flavoring inside, but I couldn't place it. Bonne Maman Poire Chocolat: Loved the soft pears against the brownie-like surrounding tart. Tartelette Framboise: Basically an excuse to get a ton of cream, which happens rest on a buttery shell and be covered in fresh raspberries. Cheese Cake: Nothing like New York cheesecake. It has the consistency of no-bake, but wasn't, since it tasted baked. So airy and light and delicious. Delise de Iles: One of the prettiest desserts with so many pretty colorful layers, including fluffy meringue on top. I especially liked how the fruit paste layer contrasted the creamy layer. Cherry Frangipane: A little dry on its own, but pairs well with coffee. The fragrant cooked cherries are the highlight. Pineapple Tartlet: Forget the French name, but it was a rather dry grainy tart (almost muffin-like) with candied pineapple on top. Another one that goes well with coffee. Cavette(?): Not sure if I got the spelling right, but this was basically like rectangular-shaped croissant dough with cream and chocolate in between. AMAZING! Perhaps my favorite breakfast treat. Croissant au Beurre: Simple, yet so amazing. Better than anything I've had in stateside. Baguette aux Lardons: How can you make a baguette better? Add crispy thick bacon bits and cheese! Sandwich Jambon et Fromage: My favorite of the simple baguette sandwiches I tried. A classic ham & cheese that the French somehow make amazing. Sandwich Brie Beurre: Very rich since you have creamy brie and butter! Sandwich Saucisson Cornichons: Each ingredient individually was fine, but I wasn't digging the combination. I should have probably stuck with having some sort of cheese. Baguette Traditional: Super crunchy and crispy outside, with a soft and airy center. Baguette Classique: Reminded me of a hoagie roll, but way fancier. All the good parts of baguette, but a slightly softer shell that manages to crunch a tad but it gets chewy.

Upon entering the bakery, I was greeted by the aroma of butter and the sight of neat rows of fresh pastries. I really wanted to try one of everything, but I was determined to try the pain au chocolat, a personal favorite. Le Grenier a Pain's pain au chocolat was much larger and heartier than others I've tried yet retained its buttery-flakiness without feeling too heavy. I really enjoyed the pillowy texture of the pain au chocolat, which included a generous amount of chocolate folded inside. Paired with a cafe au lait, I was in heaven. The bakery is small yet inviting, and there was no seating indoors or outdoors. While I was hoping to enjoy my pastry on-the-go, it started pouring outside, so I was forced to huddle underneath the awning while I consumed my pain au chocolat. While I'd definitley come back for another pain au chocolat, I would also want to sample their savory pastries on my next visit.
