I hadn't read about this place prior to popping into one near Luxembourg gardens, but after the…read moreamazing cake I had I was tickled to find another location very close to our hotel. My sister had macarons and I again had the 3 chocolate cake and a citrus tart. It was all so delicious. I purchased a bag of almond nougat as a gift, because I cannot imagine it isn't as good as everything else. Staff at both locations spoke English. Staff at this location was a bit friendlier and even offered me a free macaron!

Skip the lines at that other overly famous, overly hyped bakery that makes macarons, and get them…read morehere instead. They're just as good, if not better, and they are made locally, not frozen in Switzerland and flown to Paris to meet the outrageous demand. Everything else at Dalloyau is also delicious. I've had really good pizza there, and quiche, and their flan is to die for. This is one of my first stops every time I go to Paris, and I drop in every day while I'm there for one thing or another. Sweet or savory, I have never had anything bad from Dalloyau. The salesladies are always very polite about my stumbling attempts to speak French, and of course answer me in perfect English. I love Dalloyau!

OK, I admit it. I'm so over cupcakes. So when my cupcake loving friend dragged us down the semi…read moresketchy sex-show filled streets of Pigalle to find this cupcake shop, I definitely obliged her begrudgingly. We walked in a few minutes before closing, but the delightful vintage pink and green rockabilly atmosphere immediately perked me up. The two shop girls are seriously cool and were excited to show us their Marilyn Monroe statue in the back as well as explain (in English, woo!) their beautifully decorated cupcakes of the day. I honestly could have done without, but everything was so cute I could not resist. I ended up taking home three cupcakes that night. Blueberry and white chocolate, Raspberry and white chocolate, and something I could not understand due to language barriers. They were just my style: not too sweet. In fact they were more like fruit muffins with white chocolate drizzles and fresh fruit, and edible glitter on top. It was so beautiful, it looked like a cupcake straight out of a fairy tale. Definitely worth a stop if you're in the area to see a topless show and then craving some sweets.

Chloé's I find to be a little treasure in Paris…read more I discovered it after randomly googling things in the area when I moved to the 9th. And boy was that a surprise! I've gone not only just for a cupcake to go, but for teatime and of course brunch. The weekends it's rather full- better to get there earlier or later, but if you go on a weekday you may just be lucky enough to have the place to yourself. All the galz are dolled up in the pink kitchen and make you feel right at home. The cupcake flavors change with the days, but they are all DIVINE and eye candy for sure. Don't forget to peek in the kitchen- all is pink! Perfect place to pop in with a friend for a tea & a snack and enjoy the vintage retro atmosphere with it's dollhouse twist. Highly recommended- you won't regret it. Not sure if you can make reservations, but it is quite small, not suggested for groups over 6 unless specially reserved. Try the raspberry praline cupcake!!! Accepts credit cards.

Easily some of my favorite desserts in Paris. Their hours are a bit funky and didn't really fit in…read moreour travel plans, otherwise I would have came more than once. We got here around 5PM or so even though their hours said they closed at 6 - we weren't allowed to eat inside since they said they were closed? So we got some forks and stood outside and ate. No big deal! If you didn't know Aoki worked at Jean Millet's and Pierre Couderc's restaurants. He also worked at a Fredy Giardets (3 michelin stars) in Switzerland. So you know that he knows what he's doing. We didn't really get far with our French and they didn't know English well. So good old pointing and thumbs up worked fine for us as well as hand gestures. I loved the matcha/red bean cake thing we got along with the Yuzu tart. Man, that Yuzu was GOOD. My husband who is not a fan of tart somehow DEVOURED that thing. Items were delicious and I encourage anyone who likes Asian flavors to come try the goodies!

We tried several of their pastries while staying nearby. Unfortunately, there was no in-store…read moredining, only takeout. There were no croissants at this location. Make sure to try their desserts with matcha: Bamboo, Kyoto, Azuki, Almonds with Matcha. They were all so good.

Tiny little store, but their products are obviously top quality. There is one little table where you can sit and enjoy your desserts, but we took ours to the river and sat on a bench with a view.
