Not bad at all. Standards need to be adjusted for airport food. But this was surprisingly decent. Had the Hot chicken béchamel sandwich and it was nice. Decent portion and nice cheesy flavour with a hint of mustard that adds a nice bit of acid. Be sure to ask them to warm it up. Ask for extra long though since my warmed sandwich was still very cold in the middle. read more

Solid 3.5 Stopped by to grab a sandwich at 8:00am to bring onboard, not looking forward to air plane food at all. The simple ham, cheese and butter really hit the spot at 35,000 feet. Thank goodness for these guys. read more

This patisserie has a few locations at the airport. There's even one right at the first level where you get dropped off for departures check in area. They offer sandwiches, drinks, lots of pastries, and fresh pineapple cups. There's also a nice seating area. read more

Love Paul. Quick, easy, always ready. Macarons are giant and so good. My favorite is the pistachio.

A nice find while waiting for the TGV. Had a latte and sandwich while getting reoriented after landing. read more

Nice selection of grab and go food. Large seating area will accommodate cart of luggage even. Good place to spend some time while you wait for your train. Outlets for charging devices inside.

The pastries are extremely low quality and overly priced for what they are. The taste of the pastries is lackluster. Highly disappointed. I will definitely not be back. read more

I went in reading a review of how their sandwiches represent the French baguette sandwich-dom very admirably. Hence, I had made up my mind to enjoy the meal deal of coffee-sandwich-n-pastry. Unfortunately, fate had other plans for my palate. They weren't making sandwiches at the moment (or they were out of it), so I decided to switch to a hastily conjured 'plan b' of latte and a pastry. Much to my chagrin, their lattes were made by 'press-a-button baristas'. The rhubarbe tartelette was a good choice and hit the spot. It was served cold and probably would have tasted way better warm and flaky, but was still pretty good. The latte however can go practice it's suction capabilities on a pair of spheres for all I care; I trashed it after three sips (I had decided after the second sip, but took another one in a vain attempt to "get my money's worth"). (Nota bene: I moved over to Costas coffee to appease my latte palate.) read more

Paul CDG Terminal 2E M Gates We stopped for double espressos and snacks before our 1020 flight, choosing Paul over the adjacent Starbucks and Costa Coffee stands. The line was long because service was thoughtful. Double espresso, EUR 3.3: A good value, but we had better coffee elsewhere, including the corner tabac. Quiche Lorraine, EUR 5.05: Fair; might've been better heated through instead of partially cold Tarte Rhubarb, EUR 4.2: Good TOTAL, EUR 15.85 read more

There seems to be a kiosk in every single Terminal--1, 2 and all their accommodating lettered subthingies. Me, I went to the one outside of Hall6, Term 1! Only €1.35, for an airport croissant??!??! How? Their prices were €.10 less than Brioche Dorée, and i so much prefer the former. Basically, the croissant fiend that I am, I have come to understand that a croissant, no matter how well known or how little known the pâtissier, is €1-1.35. Crazy famous ones on the high end, of course. But be still my heart, I think I will let butter laminated in dough be the death of me. I'd rather have bread than a porterhouse, than oysters, than caviar, than noodles. But not over halibut, or XLB! read more

Items Selected: Emmental and Mimolette Bread Apple Frangipane Tart Chocolate and Pistachio Macarons Described by a friend as "sort of like a French Panera, but way better...and better than most 'Artisinal' places in the US as well," I'd noticed branches of Paul Boulangerie and Patisserie during previous trips to Paris as well as London, and with a two-hour layover at CDG as part of an 18 hour flight the opportunity finally presented to take a taste - the previous 3/4 day of vegetables no longer holding my hunger with another three hours before lunch in Lyon. Founded in 1889, and since incorporated under the Groupe Holder banner along with nearby Laduree, Paul is presented as a pair of sunken enclaves within the 2E terminal and opting for the smaller location due to the shorter line it was after a few minutes of indecision that choices were made - a mere 12€ exchanged for four selections ranging from merely decent to surprisingly quite great. Generally preferring sweet to savory, and tantalized by no less than two-dozen choices of the former, it was with a simple tart of apples and almond paste that breakfast began and with an all butter crust that remained flaky despite the substantial filling it was immediately obvious that few shortcuts are taken in Paul's preparation despite the 400+ stores worldwide, the duo of jumbo-zied macarons perhaps a bit gummy when compared to smaller boutiques but certainly on par with those served at Bouchon back stateside, and cheaper even when accounting for currency exchange. Transitioning next to savory, an option that simply couldn't be overlooked as warm loaves had just arrived as I was waiting in line, suffice it to say that at 3.40€ the 12oz Pain Flamand Emmental Mimolette was the undoubted star of the show, and although one cannot be certain as to whether this is the same unpasteurized Mimolette essentially banned from United States import I'm confident in saying the flavor is every bit as nutty and sweet as expected, while the mild Swiss adds just the right bit of brine - a bread that would have shined within Michelin Starred environs, let alone a 'quick casual' concept in the middle of a major transportation hub. read more

Paul was a nice place to have breakfast while at Terminal 2. Our flight was at 6:45 in the morning and we got there right before the rush (no wait in line) to have coffee and croissants!! We passed by the other coffee places and decided to stop at Paul. They have comfy seating and great service (it was only the one guy who took orders and made each coffee order). The price of the coffee and croissant was reasonable. read more

Waited from 5:00am for this location to open at 6:00am, to get a latte or cappuccino or something. First in line...they opened...and...no coffee! read more

This place is beautifully decorated and has tons of options for yummy indulgences. In the M terminal you will find many attractive places and shops that meet your eye however, this one really stood out to me. The food and drinks, I decided to treat myself to breakfast and chose the quiche Lorraine. It was very tasty and if I go back to this place I really want to give one of the sweet pastries a try. The coffee offered was OK but I would probably choose another option to compliment my pastry better. Customer service:this is what brought my rating down a notch. One of the servers was very friendly but the others there were extremely rude and one proceeded to tell me to walk out so others could come in (he had no idea I ordered food and didn't ask) once I explained I ordered he let me stay in but I felt very pushed and I wasn't the only one being rushed and treated like this. If I hadn't paid I would have left but I am glad I stuck around to try the delicious quiche. They have a seating area outside of the ordering and serving area to sit and enjoy your meal. I really loved the decor and pretty chandeliers. read more

If going by airport food standards it will get 4 stars. But it's on Paris and serving croissants so I will judge.. will say though it's a good place to grab a quick bite before your flight.. Just don't expect downtown paris levels perfection . read more

I ended up finding a little box of macaroons for my little boy and a piece of the vanilla Falon and a plain croissant with a water came to €17 but I'm noticed that the deserts keep revolving between the menu this isn't the customer that I was expecting I feel like every Paul that I visit is different and only get the desserts I love this place I wish they would open one in Las Vegas or New York City so I could have more access to it read more

Just ok! 3 stars for me. Friendly service and ok priced for what you are paying for (5.25 euro for ham & cheese), but compared to the real deal on the lovely streets of Paris it can't compare. However if you're at CDG airport and flying Air France and want a simple sandwich, not a bad option at all. read more

There weren't many choices at 6 in the morning, so I just went with this knowing that my previous experience wasn't that great. This was the closest thing to my gate. The service wasn't great, but I don't blame them since it's so early in the morning and they had a huge line. I had a cafe latte and a pain au chocolat. The cafe latte was horrible and probably the worst I had. The espresso tasted burnt and watery. I usually don't usually put sugar in my coffee and even after I put it in this, it still tasted horrible. The pain au chocolat is where the stars go to. It was flaky, crispy, and they had an large size one. This was the best way to say goodbye to Paris with one last pain au chocolat. read more

Paul - Quiches and other goodies - Bakeries Near Me

With a little more than 90 minutes before boarding, I picked to eat at Paul instead of a "sit-down" restaurant for two reasons: for a formula (basically a combo that includes a sandwich, drink, and dessert) that was less than half the price of one entrée and my desire to eat a yummy French sandwich before leaving the country. I got the chicken sandwich with tomatoes, lettuce, and traditional whole-grain mustard on poppy seed baguette with an apricot tart and a bottle of water. Admittedly, I eyed the ham and butter, which I love (!!!), but since I spent 2 weeks in France gorging myself on meat, cheese, bread, and butter, I wanted something "lighter." The sandwich hit the spot, with the bread tasting fresh and different with the poppy seeds. The veggies were crisp and the mustard was wonderfully smoky and spicy. The tart did not disappoint and was quite massive. Nice service and yummy sandwiches and pastries. There's not much else you could ask for for your meal before heading back home or to wherever else you're heading. Bon appetit! read more

I have been in Paul in South Beach, Miami which was great. I saw the cafe in Paris Airport I could not wait to eat my favorite chocolate eclairs but unfortunately they did not have them. I ate chocolate pastry which was good, orange juice is really tasty and coffee as well. read more

Stopped here for a bite before my flight. I had gotten to the airport way too early but I have seen tons of Paul's all around Europe so thought it would be nice to try it seeing as it's so popular. This one is pretty small and when I went the line was quite long. I ordered an almond croissant and a Americano with 2 espresso shots - what I got was a plain croissant with 2 Americanos. Seemed like English wasn't really well understood but oh well. The croissant was underwhelming at best - honestly just tasted like a Costco croissant to me. The other pastries and sandwiches looked better though, so I guess it was just a bad order/choice. All in all not terrible for the airport but i wish I had tried the sit down place closer to 2A next to the McDonalds. Okay for a quick bite when you're in a rush for your flight but wouldn't go out of your way and if you have extra time like I did it looks like there are other choices! read more

Love the food, pastries and seating area to relax before boarding the plane. A little pricey but hey it's Europe ;)

I would like to give it 0 stars. FALSE ADVERTISING!! They don't serve the pizza that is clearly shown in the menu. STAY AWAY!!!

You know. It's a tiny airport chain location. It serves a croissant and a coffee at a decent price for an airport. I actually had a 2nd pastry and paid 5.60€ total. Try that at "that coffee shop with the mermaid." They speak limited English as usual but it's France and for the most part, normal. Selection wasn't great but they had just opened at 6am so that's ok. There's not much else at 2G outside and that large chain and some other small shops inside. I'm happy with my choice. read more

Nice coffee place carrying croissants, some pastries and small pizzas etc nothing fancy

I had a 5 hour layover in Paris and unfortunately couldn't find a nice restaurant where I could sit down so I just took advantage of the free wifi and sat close to the gates. Eventually I did get hungry and spotted Paul close to my gate. I got La Savoureux (4.50 euro); a sandwich with thin sausage slices (Rosette de Lyon?) and cornichons. Luckily I managed to get a seat at one of the three tables in this sunken cafe and got to enjoy my quick meal as others looked on enviously from in line and from above at the gate level. The sandwich was very good, I liked the chewiness of the bread and it had great flavour. Be wary if you're wearing all black, as the bread has quite a bit of flour coming off of it. You won't find pleasant ambience here, just a good sandwich. read more

I love Paul. No - no man involved, just a bakery chain in Paris. What I like about it is the consistency with which it serves the standard French fare of Danish/pastries such as pain au chocolat or croissant or apple/apricot Danish. It won't taste as good as from your small boulangerie somewhere in the centre but for "chain"-food it really is pretty good - even the coffee. I always drop by on my way from the airport to the train station to have something to nibble on during the journey into town. The staff at this airport branch are always stressed but manage to stay friendly. Also since my (french) boss always gets croissants etc from Paul's for the morning team meetings resulting in loud cheers from everyone (the French are pretty serious about food) it can't be all that bad. Overall tasty stuff but a tad expensive for my taste - small cappuccino for 3,70 is way too much - but that's Paris for you.. As long as the expense account covers it though, Paul will definitely see me again ;-) read more

Great quiche for under 5 euro though I won't let them heat mine which they do automatically unless you stop them. If you are saving it for your flight I would ask for it to go as is or room temp, you will thank me. Better than Starbucks and more authentic, they also have good lattes that are very small but who needs all the calories and cost. For 7 euro total you have a nice breakfast or snack for later in flight. Cute seating area to hang out in to sip that coffee if you'd like to before a long flight. read more

Wow. That was the worst coffee and croissant experience I have ever had in my life. The coffee and milk were so boiling and burnt. No baristas here! The croissant was a cake in a shape resembling a croissants. At least I can expect better from the Evian I took with me. 6.50 euros !!! read more

A branch of the large French bakeries chain "Paul", they serve the typical fare here at the airport. While I generally prefer small independent bakeries, I am happy that this location is convenient enough to get croissant and coffee during a connection at CDG airport. It has a counter "to go" and a sit down area which is nice when your connection is not too short. It is outside security so it may be an hassle if you have a intra-terminal connection but generally, if you have to switch from say 2E to 2F or 2C it is an easy stop. read more

I came here at 10am in the morning. I ordered a chicken sandwich and I couldn't even take one bite because it was as hard as a rock. This sandwich was clearly left over from the day (or even 2 days) before. If you eat here, stick with pastries and coffee. read more

We had a lunch at the Brasserie (at the back, after the sandwich desk). The Children Menu at €6.4 is just perfect. Unfortunately, the other menus and dishes are not great: not-enough-cooked duck, burger with missing ingredients, salads w/o taste. read more

Decent chain to grab a croissant and a drink but nothing special. It was convenient to come here at the airport as I'd already been to a Paul location near the Louvre earlier. Kinda reminded me of a Starbucks, consistent service and products but lacking the personal and unexpected touch of one of the many boulangeries in Paris. read more
