LAOUZ is a beautiful Algerian pâtisseries that sell almond pastries in the 1st arrondissement. The…read morestore rep was very kind, friendly, giving me a background of the store/pastries, and very patient as I made my choices. She was definitely the opposite of what is typically rumored of French service.
I'm glad I finally walked into the store after passing many times. They also serve hot tea and I was able to take away a hot mint tea.
The different color pastries reflect the different family of flavors. . . For example, green for pistachio, red for cherry, brown for coffee/chocolate, yellow for banana, etc.
The almond pastes are very sweet and I was having a sugar headache after my fourth pastry, but I just had to try as much as I could!
Definitely a colorful and elegant pâtisserie to visit!
