The box contains two layers, so 16 chocolates total (which you can customize) for 10,50€ (about $15 USD). Each one is a dense rich exquisite bite of flavors so fresh and intense that one or two pieces would be the perfect ending to a meal. Their shop also sells pastries, and has many more confections and savory treats, from a tomato tart that looks like a work of art, to quiches and salmon appetizers that would make any party a hit.

After moving from California to France, we found ourselves missing a place to go for a good…read moresandwich, and for a good coffee with pastry/cookie. Gontran Cherrier fulfills that void brilliantly. The sandwiches are very affordable and tasty, the cakes and "patisseries" are great. My favorite sandwich is the "black sandwich". For dessert, I highly recommend the lemon cheesecake, for instance. And then, coffee is excellent too, with again a large choice of danish or pastries to eat with. The employees are very nice. And unlike many bakeries in France, there is plenty of room to sit. After you visit the château of Saint-Germain-en-Laye and wander in the nice shopping streets, this is the best you want to stop for lunch or coffee.

The best baguette tradition in town! They have the usual whole wheat, tradition, pain de mie, but…read morealso interesting breads like squid ink and curry. I didn't care for their croissants (too heavy and bread like, not flaky), which is too bad since they offer a breakfast with orange juice, espresso and a croissant for only 3.5 Euros. They have a great classic ham sandwich for less than 4 Euros. Their lunch menus include bun sandwiches which can be a curry bun with chicken to a pad thai shrimp noodle dish with soup for under 18 Euros. Warmer weather means their patio is open and I saw a gelato set-up being wheeled in recently :)

The inviting display tempts patrons with a array of choices. How could one go wrong? My fruit tart tasted heavenly - flaky, not too sweet, a wonderful tartness from the berries. My only disappointment was reaching the last bite! My husband's pastry was delightful as well. Quick, efficient service keeps customers moving. Highly recommend!

Very good pastries and bread . The shop is cute. Service was unfortunately quite bad. The cashier…read moreseemed a little bothered with our very existence and with our enthusiasm over her products. Sorry we came to give you money and appreciate your products. The cappuccino was the worst cappuccino I've ever paid for in my life. I know it may sound like an exaggeration, but it was truly terrible. It was straight out of a cheap machine and served with nothing: no spoon, no sugar in a small paper cup. I couldn't taste the coffee and I had to beg for some sugar. They gave us one tiny sugar package each, I guess they were trying to save sugar for the pastries. Stick to the pastries, pass on the coffee. We threw away the two "cappuccinos". I'd still go just for their extremely good pastries and ignore the poorly trained staff.
