Abra Patisserie
Flavour: 5/5 These pâtisseries are incredible - visually but also the taste. And I had the charcoal croissant which was GORGEOUS. Well done to this team. Affordability: 2/5 Ok the patisseries are expensive, nearly €10 each. But the viennoiseries are a bit more affordable and everything is delicious: the place is absolutely worth a visit. Je ne sais quoi: 5/5 I loved it here. Visually stunning patisseries that are also delicious plus staff that are so kind. The space is small but there is a bit of seating outside.

VEGAN BAKERY Flavour 4/5 - it's vegan - my expectations on the croissant were exceeded!! and the sandwiches are AMAZING Affordability 4/5 - €1.60 for the croissant Je ne sais quoi 5/5 - I love it here, great lunch vibe where you can sit in or grab and go, and I respect their mission to make delicious vegan pastries
Bakery
La Panifacture
Flavour: 4/5 The croissant is ok, but the pain au chocolat and chausson aux pommes are better! Affordability: 4/5 The prices are a little elevated compared to a regular bakery but I'd say it's worth it. Je ne sais quoi: 3/5 There's a big variety of choice, but the bakery is small and only fits a couple of people.

Merci Jérôme KLéber
Flavour 2/5 - this was super heavy and dense sadly, one to avoid Affordability 4/5 - €1.50 at least it's not expensive Je ne sais quoi - 3/5 - some nice elements like the merch and decor, but not really worth the visit.
Bakery
Gioya Paris
Flavour: 5/5 Made only with fruit sugar so it's glycemic index friendly, this is so so good. Affordability: 4/5 It's a little specialised so expect slightly higher prices, but the croissant is at €1.70 so not bad at all. Je ne sais quoi: 4/5 A really lovely vibe here, in a very beautiful neighbourhood. It's a little out of the way but worth a visit.

Badiani Gelato
Gelateria: Home of the gelato croissant! Flavour: 4/5 The ice cream croissant is great. The gelato itself is so creamy and indulgent - and the croissant is actually enormous. Affordability: 4/5 €7,50 for the gelato croissant which could easily be shared between two people, I think it's not bad Je ne sais quoi: 4/5 I loved the croissant, the gelato flavours and the vibes, but I just wish this was outside so I could enjoy gelato in the sun!

PANADE
Flavour 5/5 - jam doughnut meets croissant in the croissant bi gout. this is overflowing with jam so don't try to eat it as you walk, this baby needs you to take your time. Affordability 3/5 - €2.90 good value for this overachiever croissant Je ne sais quoi 3/5 - truly just a neighbourhood place, nothing would draw you here except good food
Bakery
Mamiche
Flavour 4/5 - I had heard so much that my expectations were sky high! the croissant was nice, just not one of my best Affordability 5/5 - €1.40 Je ne sais quoi 4/5 - very cute branding, lots of tourists and lots of locals just getting their lunch, this place is clearly popular with everyone
Bakery
Boulangerie Akiko et Philippe Bruere
Flavour 4/5 The beautiful buttery scent hits you before the croissant even enters your mouth. Even so, it's not too heavy, the texture is light as air. So much so, that I actually prefer just a little more stretch to my croissant, that is all. Affordability 5/5 Paid €1.40 for the croissant, and the lunch options seem affordable too! Je ne sais quoi 3/5 Truly just a good quality, neighbourhood boulangerie, very beautiful facade.
Bakery
La Pistacherie
Flavour: 4/5 Surprisingly this is very tasty, not too sweet, and the croissant texture is just right! Affordability: 3/5 €5.50 for their special croissant which is super filling, so I think this is ok. Je ne sais quoi: 3/5 I wasn't sold. The concept is trending, sure, and the outside seating is cute if the weather is good. But there was no milk for coffee on the day I went (a Sunday) and everyone seems in a rush.

Cedric Grolet Opéra
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.

Boulangerie Talmaître
Flavour: 3/5 The croissant LOOKED spectacular but tasted just regular Paris good. The huge choice of patisseries looked excellent though! Affordability: 5/5 €1.40 per croissant very much the average boulangerie price Je ne sais quoi: 5/5 This bakery is absolutely stunning. What do you mean painted ceilings?

Leonie Bakery
Flavour 3/5 - it's a good neighbourhood croissant, I just have very high standards now. They are more known for the cinnamon roll so try that! Affordability 5/5 - €1.30 for the croissant Je ne sais quoi - 4/5 - a nice vibe and a bit of place to sit and be cosy
Bakery
Aux 2 Anges
Flavour 4/5 Strong butter flavour and a really good crunch on this one. Affordability 5/5 €1.30 the perfect neighbourhood boulangerie price Je ne sais quoi 5/5 The decor is unbelievable. The floral front is up all year round, but I went at Christmas and it is even more magical. Great variety of snacks too!
Bakery
Ritz Paris Le Comptoir Sèvres
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.

Des gâteaux et du pain
Flavour: 5/5 An unbelievable croissant and many beautiful and delicious treats in this patisserie! Affordability: 4/5 €1.80 is a little on the pricier side, but very much within the normal range, and for this quality that's a great price Je ne sais quoi: 5/5 A pâtisserie with a lot of choice of beautiful desserts. I tried the croissant which was magnificent and I also loved their pamplemousse sablés (grapefruit shortbread)

Mille & Un
STRAWBERRIES AND CREAM CROISSANT Flavour 4/5 - Maybe it cheats. But it's flaky, with a delicious crème patisserie and strawberries and I don't know how you could go wrong. Definitely tastes more millefeuille than croissant. Affordability 3/5 - €4.50 for a very very filling snack Je ne sais quoi 3/5 - pretty fun vibe, creative pastries, a nice place to work as it's quiet.

Boulangerie Elements pain bio
Flavour: 5/5 Wow. I picked up a fantastic olive bread from here, AND a brioche au chocolat that blew my mind, delicious dark chocolate inside. Affordability: 4/5 Everything is artisanal and very high quality, so it is worth the slightly elevated price, I paid €8 for both bread and brioche. Je ne sais quoi: 3/5 Hidden away, in the 20e, on a street that doesn't have much else, but a cute little spot with an open kitchen!

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.
