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!

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.
