Boulangerie Artisinal is on the crowded Rue Sainte-Claire. Don't let the shoulder-to-shoulder…read moretourists, most of them carrying the wonderful local ice cream piled into waffle cones, fool you. There is a reason the line is down the entry steps out the door at most hours of the day. It can even be difficult to get in line on market days (Tuesday, Friday, Sunday) when merchant stalls block a direct path to the door. This bakery-the ovens are just to your left when you are making and paying for your selections-is a cut above the ordinary. And despite how busy they are the folks behind the counter are knowledgeable and friendly. This is our daily bread go-to place in Annecy.

The croissants could be a bit flakier and lighter, but have a very good taste. There are both outside and inside seating options which allows for the option of a very nice view of the shops and downtown area. The café takes both cash and card.

The hearty breads were absolutely amazing, the croissants flaky and buttery, and the pain au chocolat perfect in every way.

We went on a Friday at 3:30pm and there was only one other person in front of us in the store. The workers speak English and are super kind and friendly! We got the pain au chocolat and butter croissant. The pastries here are, in my opinion, a great price (less than 4 euro total for both). The pain au chocolat had an ample amount of chocolate inside, was crispy on the inside, and soft on the inside. The butter croissant was airy and flaky. There are plenty of other pastry options within the shop to choose from - would definitely recommend stopping by if in Lyon!

I stopped by around 1pm on a Monday and there was about 3-4 people in front of me, but it moved quickly. The staff were super friendly, and they spoke English as well. They had so many delicious looking pastries and savory items. I'd heard that Lyon is known for this pastry, brioche praline, so I wanted to try it out. I personally wasn't a fan of the taste. Just not my cup of tea, but I'm sure the other pastries were good. I'd come back and try other items.
