I thought I could go there to get some work done but the subway train runs right underneath and quite frequently interrupts the ambiant zen-ness. Upon stepping in I was ask not to stay longer that an hour and half. Definitely a must try, and not as expensive as it looks. Can't wait to come back for lunch

The brioche and croissant are heavenly seriously beautiful layers of flakiness. The pastries are seasonal and extremely fresh not to mention they are excellent. They have a Sunday brunch which has a set menu for €20 but the menu changes every Sunday. I recommend it HIGHLY Acide brings back quality to the Parisian pastry scene.

Move over macarons, I've found my new favorite Parisian pastries. Eclair's' have always been my…read morefavorite, but L'Atelier puts an elegant spin on the classic. During my visit, I went wild and ordered 10 mini eclairs. 5 savory 5 sweet. Yes, they make savory eclairs. I ordered the foie gras eclair, jambon comte, catalante and baltique. The eclairs are basically split in half and stuffed with a savory delicacy of your choice. The exterier bread had a soft sweetness to it which complimented the saltiness of the interior contents. Everything was amazing, but the foie gras and salmon were definately my favorites. Oh, and the jambon. Oh, dangit. nevermind. they were all equally amazing and delicious. For the sweets, I ordered a wide variety of basically most of the display case. Nutella, Cafe, Caramel, Chocolate, green tea..YUM! Each eclair is made with love, the presentation was beautiful, and the taste was amazing. YUMMMMMMMY!

If you're looking for really good traditional Parisian desserts, I would look elsewhere. They have both mini and regular sized eclairs. We got 2 mini eclairs + 2 coffees for 10.50 euros-- not totally cheap, but worth a try for the Nutella eclairs and the nice modern seating area. The coffees were also Nespresso, which made the prices especially offensive. Overall, I thought the eclair pastry itself wasn't very good at all (a little stale even), but the fillings were pretty good!

The ladies who run the place are nice and kindly went the menu as we had a few choices with hot beverages (homemade hot chocolate was what I opted for while my friend got tea), pastry, and entree.

I recommend their vegetarian dishes (which are delicate and usually cold, even with roasted veggies) over their hot dishes with rice (that doesn't seem to be their specialty). The owner is very approachable. She helped me with locating certain local French stores I was looking for and with giving me recommendations for other stores I might be interested in.
