Utopie epitomizes a blend of classic French patisserie techniques with some modern options . Of course croissants and baguettes are on offer. How about squid ink baguette? Black sesame bun? Some unique flavors and artisanal care here. Must try!
The line outside the shop is for a good reason. This bakery was so delicious. You definitely need to know what you're going to order when you get to the counter. There are so many delicious pastries and cakes to try. There is no seating to stay so you'll have to takeaway. Smells like butter!
i heard about the black sesame pastries here so you know i had to get them a try. honestly they were good but not great, it didnt really taste much like black sesame. service was nice enough
Nothing like arriving from your red-eye flight, dropping off your bags, and finding this little gem as your first boulangerie of the trip! Loves: + The best boulangerie in the biz and I don't even live in Paris, but my gosh. It's all so delightful. + Delicious sandwiches and pastries + Line moves quickly + Staff are quick but also friendly + Best Baguette in Paris 2024 I took some baguettes home from this spot and wish I could have fit more. Until we meet again, Utopie x3
Where do I start... hmm, ok the baguette. Hands down, it's the best baguette I have eaten. Even after all of the other bakeries we tried while in Paris, we kept coming back for this delight (a number I am not comfortable sharing here). Somehow, this place has perfected its customer demand for baguettes because we went here three different times in the day and each time we got hot baguettes. After making a mistake the first time by only getting one baguette because we finished it by the time we got back to the hotel, we bought multiple the subsequent times visiting. Sourdough bread, using naturally leavening only, with a perfect crust and chewy inside, this baguette cannot be beaten. For me, the breads were the rockstar here. We also tried the green tea sourdough that was intended to mimic genmaicha, and it was marvelous. Roasted rice on the outside with intense green tea flavor on the inside - something you have to try for yourself. We also tried a smattering of their pastries. All were delicious, but I recommend the sesame swirl, the sesame eclair and the fig tart - but you can't go wrong! Bon appetit!
Croissant was perfect- warm, chocolatey, almond paste wasn't lost, croissant had crunch from the and the ground pistachios. Lime moves quickly, not a spot to be missed. My only qualm is that the croisssant I ordered said it was 2.60€ (see photo), when I went to pay I was told 4€.
I love trying local bakeries everywhere I go! This was close to the hotel and I saw it after going to the supermarket. It caught my eye because there was a line out the door yo go inside! It is small, but they have unique flavors or twists from the classics. The girl in front of me was a local and she told me it was worth the wait. I took her advice and got the cheesecake which was devine! Airy, fluffy and not overly sweet. I also got an eclair and it was airy and filled generously. Worth the wait in line!
We came early in the morning around 9:00am and there was a long line to order. It took around 10-15 minutes which gave us enough time to decide what we wanted. We got the sesame scroll and the chausson aux pomme. The sesame scroll had a pretty strong sesame flavour. It was very decadent and not bad. The chausson aux pomme was life changingly good. It was crunchy on the outside. Not overly sweet. There are a lot of apples inside. The inside is moist but in a good way and it doesn't make the outside soggy. I don't know how they do it. I could only imagine how good it would taste warm. I also loved the tartness of the apples I would definitely recommend this place for their pastries
We heard about their accolade and had to pay them a visit. Winner of the Best Baguette in Paris 2024.... heck yeah we got to try it out! What struck me odd was seeing bees on the pastry side. Threw me off a bit but when I realized that if its good enough for them, you know it's the real deal. Line, of course, was long both mornings we visited. It was actually pretty quick so didn't have linger long for our goods. If you have a chance to try their baguette straight from the oven... wow. You are in for a treat. I did not expect a crispy outside layer with such soft/chewy texture inside. It was addicting. We picked up a croissant, eclair, and a brioche bun. All were delicious. If you see from the pictures of their inside, its quite small. But the cases were packed with plenty of baked goods. Wished we packed a few of these breads for the road. We are definitely stopping by here next time we are in town. I would recommend a visit here. Since there are no tables around, you can visit a local coffee shop around the corner and enjoy your spread in peace while dodging the bees. Love you guys but its my baguette. Get your own.
Beautiful array of breads and pastries. Very friendly service! My kids inhaled the pain au chocolate. Fresh pain aux cereal even in the middle of the day.
One of the best bakeries I visited in Paris on my most recent trip. I tried: + Eggplant quiche + Sesame roulé + Plum tart + Chocolate almond croissant + Charcoal baguette The highlights were the roulé and the plum tart, though the quiche was also fantastic. Overall incredible!
I came to this Boulangerie multiple times in Paris. I can't get over their 2024 winning world best baguette. It was delightful and brought happiness during my stay in Paris. I'm back in Las Vegas and as soon as I got adjusted from my jet lag, searched for local bakery to see what match the quality Boulangerie Utopie. Trader Joe's come close but. I give it 3 on the scale of 1-10 compare to Boulangerie Utopie. I checked Lees sandwich baguette. Paris baguette on Maryland parkway. Costco but nothing comes close. I gave up. The only thing I can do to really enjoy true Parisian best baguette is to go back. It's ok. I go there often but the moments of craving becomes challenging.
This is a special place. I'm American French visiting my cousin in republique and I walked here. I was told to come here because he said it's the best. I always get croissants and cookies but I always want stuff I know I can't --get this stuff back home. This is like a baker/pastry chef entrepreneur basically just owning a boulangerie and his/her motto is like "FU" we're just gnna do this better than everyone else lol/mdr.... Yeah the pastry here, the croissants, the cookie all omg I would be broke eating this stuff. This is not a basic pattisery... this is like some special menu stuff. Line could be long, and you go in and I tried to speak French right away and they were just laughing lol I would go here again asap.
A bakery full of novel and untraditional creations! We had a hard time picking one thing but ended up going with the Sesame Eclair and it's unfortunately not the best...The choux pastry was dry and soft while the filling was creamy it could have been more sesame-y. I'd opt for something else like the Sesame Swirl next time. read more
Utopie lived up to the hype for us. We really enjoyed the baguette, apple turnover, and almond croissant. The croissant was just good compared to the rest. The baguette was very crunchy and soft on the inside with a fragrant sourdough smell that not all places have. It definitely makes it more flavorful. The apple turnover was very crunchy as well with fresh apples inside. Almond croissant had a very nice texture with the paste. They really know how to make things crunchy here. Would definitely recommend if in Paris and the earlier you go in the morning the better. The prices are also very reasonable! read more

Another day, another bakery to visit! We checked out this bakery and picked out two things to share: the sesame elcair and pain suisse. I enjoyed both of the items, but preferred the sesame eclair more. It was a nice and sweet taste infused with the black sesame flavor. The pain suisse was very flakey and filled with chocolate. It was also quite heavy, you should definitely share this! read more

This is one of the best bakeries I've ever been to, and definitely the best one we tried in Paris. Their baguette was the best thing, so much so that we rushed back from the Eiffel Tower before the closed to snag a few more to take home. The service here is wonderful, everyone is so friendly and helpful. The store is small but cute and there tends to be a line at different times of the day. Their sesame roll was our other favorite, and hubby loved the salmon sandwich on the black sesame roll. Highly recommend and would totally come back if we were in Paris. read more
The apple tart here is hands down the best pastry I've had in France! We were lucky to visit in the morning when all the croissants and tarts were still fresh and available--they do sell out, so be sure to come early. I also tried the peach (or was it mixed fruit?) tart, but it was too sour and overly sweet for my taste. I had a salmon sandwich roll, but the bread was quite tough, which was a bit disappointing. Overall, the standout here is definitely the APPLE TART. My mouth is watering just thinking about it. It was my favorite pastry during my entire three weeks in Europe! read more

Even at 11:30 when the line was just starting to get long all the staff was very friendly. (Though the line was starting to wrap around when I passed around noon.) Very patient and accommodating of me and my nonexistent French. Everything I got was delicious. Though I wish the chocolate in the croissant was a little darker, the bread with some butter was delicious and the tart on its own was as well. The tart had a very nice light lemon taste and wasn't heavy at all. Very light and refreshing and definitely just right in sweetness. I look forward to coming back to this homey bakery. read more
***Pre-COVID Review*** I am missing the ability to travel and was reminiscing about my trip to France and in particular this little shop. There are so many great bakeries around Paris but this one in particular was just phenomenal. Hands down one of my favorite bakeries, I really hope it survives the pandemic! When we arrived, there was a long line out the door, but it was absolutely worth the wait! Their baguette was very good but so were many baguettes around the city. We skipped on the charcoal baguette but it looks interesting! What you should come here for is the SESAME ECLAIR! It is so unique, very light pastry filled to the brim with this wonderful sesame cream that wasn't too sweet! I would come back wait in line just for this! We had also gotten the lemon tart, which had super light zesty curd that was so tasty too. Please support them! I cannot wait to visit them again!!! Craving it so badly I'm thinking about making them for Christmas. read more

Awesome bakery and my favorite pastry of the trip besides the sacristain from du pain. The pain suisse was so flaky and filled with so much rich chocolate, seriously awesome. Must try! read more
I was lucky enough to have stayed a few minutes from this boulangerie. I tried their pain au chocolat and flan, both were very good and tasted like they were made with quality ingredients. None of it was overly sweet which I appreciated. My only regret was not trying more items from here. Was also grateful they took credit card without any crazy minimum spend. read more
Came by for breakfast the other day and it was okay. Ordered a salmon quiche and it was presented cold...probably would have tasted much better warm... The latte was decent at least. Seating was available inside the small bakery. As we came on a Sunday, seems like many of the patrons were tourists! read more
The line moves quickly; excellent baked goods. croissants were delightfully flaky Pain au chocolat - generous amount of chocolate Quiche (served cold) - great crust, filling was flavorful light texture but rich. If you ask nicely they will warm it for you read more

Very local spot. We noticed it because it was right across the street from our Airbnb and there seemed to ALWAYS be a line, so we knew we had to go before we left. FYI, all the signs were in French, and the staff spoke minimal English, but it's easy enough to look through the display glass and just point to what you want :). THE WAIT: A line several people long out the door on a Tuesday at 11am, but it moves fast - just a few minutes and we were inside. THE PASTRIES: * Le Cheesecake Yuzu (5,50€) - 5 stars mazing! Dense and sweet. The crust is very soft and crumbly. * Tarte Fruits Cuits (fig tart) - 4.5 stars Moist, flaky, buttery, not too sweet. * Pain au Chocolat - 4 stars Really nice croissant, just wish the chocolate filling was softer. read more
I don't even like lemon tarts, and this lemon tart (tarte citron if you prefer the French) was one of the best things I've ever uncontrollably shoved into my face. The intense lemon curd is perfectly accented by a light zesting over the top, and the overall effect is sublime. The same goes for the rest of their delicious pastries, breads, and gateaux ephemeres that are unique and indisputably delicious. You get the feeling that there is always something new to try with this admirable array of baked goods overflowing the shelves. Truly, a Utopie. read more

We ordered a quinche, almond Croissant, latte and cappuccino. The quinche was good. It would have be better if the quinche was warmed up which would enhance the flavors. I really liked the almond croissant filling, but wished the croissant itself was more flakey. In the picture you can see how it's kind of flat, and when you rip into the croissant, it doesn't have the many layers that make it crispy and flakey. The latte and cappuccino were okay. read more

Tiny, cute store that gets pretty packed around the afternoon. When you walk in it looks like a typical bakery however they have interesting stuff such as sesame eclairs (super good, you have to try it!) I got a pain au chocolat and that did not disappoint. My friend got a savory bread and it was pretty good too! There are no seats but there is a place to stand and eat. But it's honestly kind of cramp feeling, so I think this is more of a buy and go type of place. read more
I came here early Tuesday morning right at open. The Pain Au Chocolat was still warm. So soft and sweet. The chocolate was delightfuly bittersweet and smooth. Flakey, soft, buttery and chocolatey. Very addictive. I also got a croissant that was quite good. Not the best croissant I've had in Paris so far but still hits the marks. Flakey and soft, tender interior with lovely airpockets. But it was not as buttery as I'd like. Highly recommend Utopie. read more
