I got a few pastries and it was still early enough that they were still warm! The Croissant was probably the best I had on this trip. It helped that the Croissant was fresh and warm, but it was also crispy on the outside and buttery & flaky on the inside. The Pain au Chocolat was also great but it could have used more chocolate for my liking. The Chausson aux Pommes was sweet, slightly acidic from the apples, and definitely heavier of the pastries. I've also never had fresh madeleines before and knew this would be the place to try them. The Madeleine Glacée were buttery and lightly sweet; these actually go so well with a cup of coffee or just a bite if you need a quick snack. All in all, great try!

It gets a cheaper rating but I thought the prices were very comparable to the other boulangeries in the neighborhood.Again they had great croissants (I tried them at every boulangerie we visited) and their large macaron "sandwiches" were also delicious (although not my MOST favorite of the ones we tried in Paris). This place was also just a few steps from our apartment so we visited it a lot as well. None of the women that served us during the week spoke English but again, you don't need much in a boulangerie. The service was always friendly and efficient. Often this place was busy but service was quick. No outdoor seating, and they were open until 8pm which was awesome. Later in the day you'll find that pastries and bread are not as fresh but even though we got macaron "sandwiches" at 7pm and they seemed a little damp from the fresh fruit in them, the taste was delicious. The outer shells of the macarons were slightly tough but the overall texture wasn't bad. the berries (we tried frambriose and fraise, or raspberry and strawberry) were incredibly fresh and tasty. I'm sure if we had purchased them earlier in the day they would have been even better. We also had the coffee eclairs and they were amazing!!! I don't care that much for eclairs as I do no like the type of bread used for them, but these were good enough that I'd get them again. The filling was rich and the coffee taste was outstanding.

Aux Délices de Saint Antoine - The breads are sold by the kilogram. So ask for a little chunk Standard min measure in Paris is 100 grams (approx 3.5 ounces).

I went from the Musée du Louvre to here for lunch, as I was reading Yelp, and this was a top-ranked store. I had the baguette sandwich with lettuce, tuna (with mayo), and tomatoes, a madeleine, and an apple crumble. They were all delicious, and very flavorful. The baguette sandwich The tuna was nice and cold, and the bread was very springy and chewy, which was a nice touch. The crust was not too hard, and was still crispy. It was a well-balanced sandwich. The madeleine I only had one, but they sure beat the ones you get in SF at Costco. Very moist and soft inside, and was fantastic. The apple crumble The apple crumble was slightly lacking, with really only two slices of apple, and the rest was pastry. The pastry was crumbly as expected, and was really light and tasted great. There is no eating area inside/outside of the restaurant, so most people walk to the cathedral about 100m south of the store, and you can find a planter with a large seating area where most people eat their Eric Kayser food. Downside - does not take American Express, and presses customers for cash (which gets to be awkward). The menu is also somewhat unclear, and staff seem confused. read more

Kudos to good tasting Foie gras sandwich, very tasty and something new to my taste buds! Also tried the almond croissant, and it's also good, crisp on the outside, but very fluffy inside. I wasn't just a big fan of the cured meat assortment though, it tasted just OK, not bad nor great. read more

The bakery is small yet inviting, and there was no seating indoors or outdoors.

We also tried the Focaccia Jambon Cru which is a popular open-face sandwich featuring soft, olive-oil-rich focaccia bread filled with raw, dry-cured ham or prosciutto. It was topped with mozzarella, arugula, and tomatoes. For both sandwiches we loved the big piece of sun-dried tomatoes which gave a hearty flavor to our lunch. We ordered water and it came in cans. The lady behind the counter did not engage much, could be due to the language barrier. The interior of the cafe is cozy. Merchandise was on display and it's all self-service.

Or maybe I was just lucky. Anyways I found Drops here as well so I ended up getting one of those. I also got a croque monsieur, a croissant and a citron pastry(?). I think I'll need to just refer to everything here as a pastry because I don't know how to classify them. Anyways everything was so good. Their croissant was very different than the first place that I went to. The one here had a super crisp to the outside. As for their citron pastry, it was one of those fancy looking desserts essentially. It was also a citrus bomb and wasn't overly sweet. The croque monsieur was a tad over done, but that's to be expected when it comes essentially pre made then reheated. There was a long line forming when I first got there but it moved so fast . It was so fast to the point where I didn't feel comfortable asking questions to trying to check the whole display. The line basically wraps around a rounded display counter so you can't see everything at the same time. I was at the start of the counter when someone came to take my order so I didn't get a good chance to see much before I ordered. The line was also moving so fast that I couldn't really slow things down to get a good look before I had ordered. Keep that in mind if you come. It wasn't until I got to the register when I saw the croissants and drops again. Luckily they let me add them just before paying. Keep in mind that there is no seating area or tables to eat on either.

The prices seemed reasonable and the staff spoke English. There's really no place to sit, so we took it to go and ate on the steps in front of the museum, watching birds and people. I'd definitely have gone back if we were staying longer.
