    Croissants
    Alaina B.

    I've made it my mission to consume as many croissants as possible while in Paris and my mission brought me in here. The woman who runs the store was nice and very patient with my broken French. The croissants were good, not the best I have had on my trip so far but light and delicious. The chocolate traditional bread (not pictured because I inhaled it so fast) was the real star for me. It's the right amount of sweet without being overwhelming and has a nice fluffy texture with a firm outside. Definitely have to try it.

    Nice morning walk this AM to this cute Paris Bakery. Enjoyed a croissant and cafe ole and then purchased some things to take home. The chocolate bread is delicious, I've never had anything like it. I also grabbed a salad and desert to go. A nice find.

    The service was great. There was only one cashier/server. She did everything from start to finish. A line quickly build up after I got there. The wait wasn't long though, everything was pre-made. I got the almond croissant and the madeleine. The croissant was a bit hard and not as flaky as other croissants I had in Paris. The taste was there but not the texture. As for the madeleine, it was dense as a brick. It was too dry for me to ingest, even with my hot chocolate to wash it down. The hot chocolate was also room temperature and not that creamy or hot. I would recommend going to The Smiths Bakery instead.

    A must when in Paris! Keung Amman is delicious. And I'll be picking up lunch for our travels today. This was yesterday's pick up salad. So tasty!!! Should have grabbed a croissant to go with. Hubby has the ham & cheese baguette. Simple yet good. I'll take more photos today to show all their deliciousness!

    Almond chocolate croissant with cafè au lait. Wonderful

    This place does not exist. We wandered in circles up and down the street but never found it.

    Great pastries, but a little pricey compared to other shops. Incredible staff however. Will be coming back here again soon!

    We had sandwich and salad, both were delicious. But the real remark was the staff, incredibly friendly and nice. Will be back for sure

    When asked to name a "must visit" place in Paris, without hesitation, I say 《Angelina Salon de…read moreThé!》 We've been coming here for three decades for their iconic hot chocolate -- Chocolat Chaud d'Angelina (5/5 10,50 €), as we did this year again in April. There was a line at the door, but it moved fairly quickly. Once inside, you're in a beautiful Beaux-Arts salon. Service generally is very good. The Chocolat Chaud is superb. There are other savories and sweets on the menu here. This time we tried a Mont-Blanc (3/5). I know this is Angelina's signature pastry, but to me it couldn't compete with the Chocolat Chaud.

    Angelina, Paris, France -- April 12…read more Our family of four with kids ages 9 and 10 stopped here for lunch after visiting the Louvre, drawn in by its reputation for having the best hot chocolate in the world. We were looking for a place to relax and refuel, and the experience felt a bit mixed overall. Arrival and First Impressions The space is elegant with classic Parisian charm. The line moved quickly, and we were seated with a great view of the dining room. It felt refined but still comfortable. The Highlights The famous hot chocolate lived up to expectations, thick, rich, and almost more like a dessert than a drink. We also had French onion soup and an éclair, both of which were very good. The pastries were clearly well made and thoughtfully prepared. The kids had chicken tenders, which they enjoyed, even though the tomato sauce was a bit different from what they expected. The Challenges The biggest drawback was the price. The meal felt expensive for what we ordered, coming in at €154 for a fairly simple lunch. Service felt slightly rushed as they moved tables along quickly. Final Thoughts We would likely return if we were nearby and specifically craving the hot chocolate again. It is a classic Paris stop and worth trying once, but the value may not justify going out of your way unless that signature experience is high on your list.

I couldn't tell if this was a real apple or some fancy French creation made to look like one - that's how real it looked!

Since it was a warm summer afternoon, I went for the Chocolat Glacé, their iced chocolate, which was a refreshing choice after walking around the neighborhood. We were too full to try any of the pastries, but the display was beautiful and made it very tempting to come back. In addition to their signature hot chocolate, they also offer a wonderful selection of French pastries, macarons, croissants, crêpes, and other sweet treats. One thing that's helpful to know before visiting is that the Montmartre branch is a takeaway pastry boutique rather than a full-service café or restaurant. Before arriving, I had imagined it would be more of a traditional Parisian tea salon with table service, but this location is designed for grabbing a drink or pastry to enjoy while exploring Place du Tertre. Knowing that beforehand helps set the right expectations. The staff member who assisted us at the counter was friendly and welcoming, making for a pleasant stop. The location itself is part of the experience. Right in the heart of Place du Tertre, surrounded by artists and the charm of Montmartre, it's an easy place to pop into for a sweet break while sightseeing. If you're visiting during the warmer months, I'd definitely recommend the iced chocolate. And if you have a bigger appetite than we did, the pastry selection looked impressive enough to make me want to return just for dessert.
