Flavour 3/5 - pretty good, fluffy pastry! But they'd run out of croissants - I admit I had to substitute a pain au chocolat! Affordability 4/5 - €1.50 which is good especially for this neighbourhood Je ne sais quoi - 3/5 - a clean and pretty neighbourhood bakery

Flavour 5/5 - so fluffy and soft, one of the best I've had Affordability 5/5 - €1.30 for the croissant, excellent value for money especially in this part of town Je ne sais quoi - 4/5 - very cosy area to sit in, lots of pastries to try! Only downside is they often run out of milk if that's what you take in your coffee...

Flavour 5/5 - wow, I haven't had one that good in long time. buttery yes. flaky yes. the texture was absolutely perfect. yes yes yes. Affordability 5/5 - €1.40 Je ne sais quoi 4/5 - pretty cute decor and space to sit in, and lovely staff!

Expect 1h queue unless you have a reservation! Flavour 3/5 Guys. My expectations were high and came crashing down. The croissant was flavourless. The rest of the food was superb though esp the vanilla chantilly. Affordability 1/5 It's €50 for breakfast, for this price I would prefer to go to the Ritz. €4 just for the croissant if you decide to queue. Je ne sais quoi 3/5 I recommend booking, otherwise the queue is over an hour. The tea room upstairs is adorable, but small and stuffy.

Flavour 4/5 Excellent crisp on the outside, soft and buttery on the inside. Affordability 5/5 A very good croissant price for quite a fancy patisserie, at €1.50. The patisseries were around €8 each, and absolutely worth it. Je ne sais quoi 5/5 Gorgeous place with beautiful seasonal decorations. The patisseries are almost too beautiful to eat.

Flavour 2/5 My heart was broken when I saw the croissant here, never mind when I tasted it. NOTHING like the original location by Place Vendome, I would avoid this one. Affordability 2/5 €4 is fine when the croissant is incredible, but not for this. Je ne sais quoi 2/5 Beautiful vibe, same as the other café near Place Vendome, but no seating options at all.

Flavour: 5/5 I had an unbelievable madeleine with pistachio and orange blossom, I can't wait to try everything else. Affordability: 5/5 My madeleine was €3.50 which for the flavour is great value Je ne sais quoi: 4/5 This is a cute little store, very beautiful neighbourhood, just not much to do around.
