Very bummed about this review :(…read more Came in the afternoon and had a pan au chocolat. It was very stale. Perhaps, this is because I got it in the afternoon, but it felt like it was more than a day old. I couldn't finish it.

Of 4 boulangeries in Paris, I have to say this one got it right!…read more The smallest croissant of them all, but it was the tastiest. It was warm and just out of the oven - the best! I also tried their apple crumble tart and it was out of this world deliciousness! The staff tried very hard to understand my basic French mixed with English... They take cards which helps! The only thing I don't recommend is their pre made panini sandwich. I thought it was egg salad, but it was some type yellow chicken mayo dressed sandwich with unknown yellow flavor. I'd highly recommend a trip to this delightful bakery for baked goods!

Utopie lived up to the hype for us. We really enjoyed the baguette, apple turnover, and almond…read morecroissant. The croissant was just good compared to the rest. The baguette was very crunchy and soft on the inside with a fragrant sourdough smell that not all places have. It definitely makes it more flavorful. The apple turnover was very crunchy as well with fresh apples inside. Almond croissant had a very nice texture with the paste. They really know how to make things crunchy here. Would definitely recommend if in Paris and the earlier you go in the morning the better. The prices are also very reasonable!

The vibe here is super cute, I love all the windows and you can see Notre Dame while you're eating. Docked a star because the host was NOT friendly, however, the server was soo sweet and we really liked her. I also wouldn't recommend the chai latte, it wasn't my fav (although it did have really cute latte art on it). All in all I would definitely return for another crepe and maybe try another drink.

Déception avec un café mocha - Service et préparation frustrants…read moreHier matin, j'ai commandé un café mocha dans votre établissement et j'ai reçu une boisson parfaitement préparée : espresso, lait chaud et la juste dose de chocolat. En soirée, lorsque je suis revenu pour une version à emporter de la même boisson, j'ai vécu une expérience très frustrante. La caissière ne semblait pas connaître le terme " café mocha ". J'ai patiemment expliqué à plusieurs reprises que je souhaitais simplement la même boisson que celle que j'avais appréciée le matin même. Le barista chargé de la préparation n'était non seulement pas familier avec la recette standard, mais s'est montré impoli et dédaigneux. Malgré mes clarifications répétées, il a préparé la commande à contrecœur. Le résultat fut une boisson froide, sans aucune mousse de lait - rien à voir avec la qualité du matin. Après avoir passé beaucoup trop de temps à expliquer et à attendre, j'étais tellement épuisé par l'interaction que j'ai fini par accepter la boisson ratée sans prolonger la situation. Si l'on peut comprendre qu'une caissière ne soit pas une experte en café, le barista qui manipule la machine à café devrait parfaitement maîtriser les recettes classiques comme le café mocha et traiter les clients avec courtoisie et professionnalisme. Je suggère respectueusement au responsable de former correctement le personnel sur les boissons de base et les standards de service client afin que cela ne se reproduise plus. Cette expérience a été à la fois frustrante et inacceptable pour une commande simple et pourtant basique. J'espère que ce retour d'expérience permettra d'améliorer le service pour les futurs clients.

Another pleasant visit for Gelato. Except this is of course, in Paris!…read more Super nice and patient staff... Can't complain so it's a solid 4 stars for service, portion size and quality with good tasty flavors. Value... Well it's irrelevant to us what it cost... And ambiance is pretty good (we have had better). Because there is room for improvement, it's a fair minded solid 4 stars today.

Every pastry we tried was outstanding, and you really can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Don't miss their famous Escargot Pistache (pistachio swirl) and the traditional pain des amis. It's worth the wait and lives up to its reputation. A must-visit bakery in Paris

Ordered: Authentic Croissant (~€4)…read morePain Chocolat Banane (~€5) Escargot Pistache Chocolat (~€6) Chausson a la Pomme Fraiche (~€6) Pain des Amis (~€14/kg): their famous full-crusted, lightly smoked bread Aya's take: Du Pain et des Idées is my favorite bakery I went to while in Paris! Of course I got a classic Authentic Croissant and their famous Escargot Pistache Chocolat which were both delicious. The Escargot Pistache Chocolat can't be skipped. It was slightly dry & crisp but I liked the flaky bits and the fact that each bite had a little bit of pistachio and chocolate. The Pain Chocolate Banane was my absolute favorite! It's a classic Pain au Chocolate cooked with pieces of fresh organic banana. I'm still dreaming about it. If you see this on display, do yourself a favor and grab one! It took a regular Pain au Chocolat and made it exponentially better! It was flaky, sweet, buttery, and everything a pastry should be. The Chausson a la Pomme Fraiche was also a great try. It is half a fresh apple cooked in a puff pastry turnover. I love that they use fresh fruits in their pastries and some of them were literally still warm when we got them, so I highly recommend going early. We even got some of their famous Pain des Amis for our picnic which was super pleasant. Amazing bakery!
