This is a chocolate lovers dream and a very pretty, well designed small shop that is very Instagrammable and a great way to spend 30 min or an hour in Paris if you're passing through the 11th arr. I love all things chocolate, so naturally I loved this place: everything they sold, the pastries, the decor, and the chic, beautiful ambiance. We got a coffee here and their famous tiger pastry. This is something you can't find in most other pâtisseries (not like the more ubiquitous millefeuille or éclairs which you can find anymore anywhere) The tiger pâtisserie has a base made of almond flour and studded with chocolate chips and is a pretty dense cake, and then has a center of delicious chocolate ganache. I shared this with my husband along with some coffee and it was amazing - I've been trying to find this pastry all over France now. (I live in the South of France) They also sell chocolate candy bars, chocolate bars and other pastries but I'll have to go back to get more treats. Definitely stop by here if you're a chocoholic like me. The prices are a little steep but the quality of the ingredients and chocolates that are used in the pastries make it worth it. read more

We brought home some wonderful chocolate bars that are sadly all gone now and we enjoyed some excellent pastries and cookies from this shop in the 11th arrondisement while we were in Paris. Worth waiting in the cold in line to get in. (And everyone wore masks.) service was fast and friendly. read more

I love this place. Cyril Lignac is amazing and I love his bakery across this street. You may ask, a cafe for chocolate? Seems a bit much? This place will prove you wrong. The baked goods are well priced between 2-6€, with cheaper prices for take out. The treats range from delicate Eclairs to "4 heures" a sample chocolate sandwich to my favorite, the LE TIGERE (a delicious chocolate cake stuffed with chocolate balls and gooey milk chocolate. Yum. Drinks (hot drinks and orange juice) are delicious especially the hot chocolate. It's unlike anything I've tried before. It's light but creamy and slightly nutty. I often feel sick after a nice thick hot chocolate here in Paris but the one here was amazing. They also sell the hot chocolate bottled to go. For 10€, you can get a "breakfast" set of a pastry, a drink, and orange juice. They also sell chocolate bars starting at 6€. They make great gifts and the wrapping is so cute. The cafe is so hip and trendy (a great place for photos) and the lighting is phenomenal (trust me, I'm a photographer). Some employees speak English and there is often a sample or two at the front. If you are around, come here! It won't disappoint. read more

Super cozy! I came while it was raining, and got a latte and a lemon meringue dessert. The drink was made well, and the dessert was not too sweet. The service was super friendly and helpful. Sit next to the window for good people watching! read more

I have done an extensive study on Hot chocolate in this wonderful town, and this one is very good. I would call it one of the best except one thing that makes me want to give them a 3 star rating. The don't care. They don't care that they have a great product, they serve this beautiful product in a paper cup. It is disrespectful to say the least. Like champagne in a plastic flute, why would you do that. It doesn't honor the procut inside. It is not so hard to get a washing machine in Paris. serve the chocolate and coffee in a real cup. It is more environmentally, it hold the heat better and it really just tastes better. Paper cup? Really? Not classy at all. But the truth is the product is very very good. But i just cant get over how little respect they show it and you. read more

After seeing Chocolaterie Cyril Lignac in a magazine, with it's delightful decor and tasty looking pastries, I knew I had to come pay it a visit. I am a sucker for a cute cafe. It is exactly as I had expected; beautiful blue, bronze and white tiles, walls, and ceilings. The customer service was great, the girl was smiling and happy to help. The display of pastries is simple, and arranged in a pleasing way. The wall of chocolate bars is very eye catching, and the packaging, wrapping paper, including the water colour painted layout of the bars framed and located adjacent to the chocolate wall is all very beautifully done. I also commend the establishment for it's use of a paper plate and glass bottles for the chocolate milk as this reduces plastic in our environment. My partner had the marbled cake with the cold chocolate drink, while I had the hazelnut cake with a latte. The chocolate drink is divine. It is not your average chocolate milk; you can taste the complexity of the different types of chocolates working with the use of a hazelnut milk, blended harmoniously with whole milk. The price seems a bit much at the cash register, but you quickly realize after your first sip that this isn't your Nesquik from a can, and is worth every penny. The marble cake was tasty, my partner enjoyed it, as he does with most chocolate infused foods. I found it to be good. Not exceptional, but still good. This may be my personal bias, as I do not care much for chocolate in bread-textured foods. The hazelnut cake however, is so rich, and perfectly sweet; I loved every bite of this. It's such a small, delicate, deceiving looking piece of dessert, but I could not finish the final bite. It is a very very well balanced flavour of nut, chocolate, sweetness, with the lightness of the mousse. It was great. The latte was a latte, it was good. Nothing to rave over, but well done and beautiful foam. I would say it had more foam than a traditional latte, more of a cappuccino, but I was unbothered by it. All in all, a great experience matched with great food, and great decor. Definitely recommended to any chocolate enthusiasts or cafe enthusiasts in Paris. read more
