There was a credit card line and a cash line, which was nice. I got a pain au chocolat for 2.6 euros which is definitely expensive for Paris. Typically they're about 1.6 euro. It is a train station so it makes sense it was pricier. It was not a bad pain au chocolat, but wasn't as fresh or flaky to me. Good for a quick last minute bite before the train

Oh how I wish I could give this bakery more stars. Ever since I moved into the neighborhood I have…read moretried the various bakeries in the area at least a dozen times each. L'Atelier des Pain was poised to become the neighborhood star, the breads looked more interesting (e.g. cacao bread), the pastries had a more refined flair to them (e.g. violette éclaire), but each experience failed to live up to my expectations. The bread is good, but nothing spectacular, the pastries the same. I even brought a croissant aux amandes back because the inside frangipane was raw, which is something I never usually do, but it was the second time that had happened! The owner was very sweet and replaced it with a much better galette des rois, but still, how can something like that happen -- twice? Needless to say I rarely frequent this bakery, preferring to get my bread and viennoiseries from Crazy Cake closer to the Canal.

Simple table and seating but clearly busy with locals and visitors coming to this place. Highly recommended.

Upon entering the bakery, I was greeted by the aroma of butter and the sight of neat rows of fresh pastries. I really wanted to try one of everything, but I was determined to try the pain au chocolat, a personal favorite. Le Grenier a Pain's pain au chocolat was much larger and heartier than others I've tried yet retained its buttery-flakiness without feeling too heavy. I really enjoyed the pillowy texture of the pain au chocolat, which included a generous amount of chocolate folded inside. Paired with a cafe au lait, I was in heaven. The bakery is small yet inviting, and there was no seating indoors or outdoors. While I was hoping to enjoy my pastry on-the-go, it started pouring outside, so I was forced to huddle underneath the awning while I consumed my pain au chocolat. While I'd definitley come back for another pain au chocolat, I would also want to sample their savory pastries on my next visit.

I got two quiches, one Lorraine and one broccoli and salmon, on my first visit. I went back for a ham and cheese one the next day. They heat it up for you if you ask. It's in the microwave so the heat isn't very even but it's still good. The crust is crispy and like a pie crust. The inside is tender and pudding-like. Very flavorful on all the varieties. I really enjoyed it. The size is pretty big, definitely good for one person's breakfast. Definitely worth a visit.
