I visited this pâtisserie on Nov 9 2024 as my final breakfast before flying home to NYC. The…read morepastries were delicious - including tart aux pommes, a cheese pastry, and a raspberry eclair. All these were delicious - and they heated up the cheese pastry for me, which was a perfect more savory but very slightly sweet start to this decadent meal. I do my best to order and communicate in French, and I appreciated that the lady helping me spoke back to me in French as well, and was patient with my poor language skills. I was extremely surprised and very appreciative that she actually gifted me an extra slice of tart aux pommes!! I didn't expect that and I felt very welcomed by such a exchange. I ended bringing that slice all the way home to NYC with me where I shared it with my partner. He usually doesn't like sweets like this, but said this one was a really good balance of sweet and tart. Merci beaucoup, mes amis de La Vieille France ! Vos pâtisseries ont été dégustées outre-mer.

It tasted like it had vanilla and was imho an even better then what we get from back home. Service was friendly and quick. We also literally coed out and got a table around 11:30 today. It was on the other side of town and took about 25 minutes or so to get there. It had the typical French cafe vibe. Simple table and seating but clearly busy with locals and visitors coming to this place. Highly recommended.

Occupying a large corner, original painted ceilings and a wood-burning oven suggesting an era long before Tweets and Tik-Toks, it is once inside that guests will find an abundance of Breads and Viennoiserie offered by the mostly unengaging staff. Visited on a Thursday with no lines, prices nearly double those of nearby Mamiche, a four-part order was procured quickly for €24, the Almond Croissant a flat disaster both literally and figuratively while thw famed swirl can be found better at Maison Julien. Improving the lamination with a Pan Suisse, basic but satisfying, Du Pain et des Idées best bites come from an elongated baton dubbed Sacristain that crunches before giving way to layers of Butter, Sugar and delicate Pastry Cream.

Located just a few doors down from the hotel we were staying in, Au Pain Doré is a no-frills…read morebakery. We went in pretty much every morning we were staying in Paris and in my terrible French, I would order an almond croissant, a regular croissant, and two coffees. The woman who was working there was very kind and I think she appreciated my attempts to speak French (or she just felt bad for me). The croissants were so buttery, flaky, and everything a croissant should be. Out of all of the croissants I ate while we were traveling, this almond croissant had the most flavor. The prices were fair and the portion sizes were massive. I know there are a ton of bakeries in Paris but if you happen to find yourself a little outside of the city center and wanting to support a small local business, come check out Au Pain Doré.

If you eat anything here, be sure you ask about "semoule" not just "ble" to be sure what you're getting. Maybe it's not a good idea.
