    A beautiful pastry shop with a full view of Notre Dame. Very popular along the local and tourists, but there’re always a few empty seats to sit. Nice products. English-speaking staff. What a refuge in the middle of a touristy quarter of Paris!

    Like heaven, after a cold January day we stopped for a late afternoon pick me up. Everything was as delicious as it looks, but the pictures can't do justice to how efficiently run everything was, for a relatively small place with a queue we were served quickly, found a seat, and we loved every bite. Two Lattes and two cakes came to €23, which I thought was very good value.

    Today we had some fantastic cakes at this excellent patisserie. They are impeccably presented and the taste of all those we ate were spot on. Definitely a must visit if you want to sample some delicious food, with a very good view across to Notre Dame

    This place is chef kisses. It is located very close to Notre Dame and serves wonderful, innovative desserts that are a perfect sweetness and texture. We got the meringue one which was amazing as well as the cherry one. Both were exquisite. This totalled €14 which is quite a lot but it was well worth the price. It has seating, servers are nice and I would definitely recommend.

    Incredible pastries! The coffee is great and the staff are very friendly. The staff speak English well, but were polite enough to listen as we tried to speak French. This is a fantastic shop with great views of Notre Dame across the river. It’s worth a trip to Paris just to visit!

    Great little breakfast stop with counter service. We had a delicious fig/cheese tartine and croissant that was flaky/buttery. Both were delicious. The price is very reasonable and the view of Norte Dame was probably better than any along the River. The staff were friendly and patient - spoke English.

    The Apple, which was the signature was OK, but it wasn’t very good. The applesauce inside was too much for me. The gooey texture with liquidy jam outside was not the best combination. Crème brûlée on the other hand was great I would highly recommend that It was very creamy and soft Macaron was just very average. Typical it was okay, but rather get it from laudree Hot chocolate was okay.

    If you visit Paris you must try the Notre Dame apple at this bakery and cafe! It’s unlike anything I have ever tried. The other desserts and quiche at this bakery are also delicious. They have outdoor seating where you can sit and enjoy the views of Notre Dame.

    One of my favorite places while visiting Paris. Small but not too crowded. Very kind ladies helped us choose from AMAZING desserts. So good, I’ll repeat AMAZING. Have to try the “NotreDame”. Looks exactly like a green apple. Thin chocolate shell covers a cream filling with a crisp apple pie type center. Multiple flavors. Multiple textures. My description does not do it justice. The peach was also very good. my daughter loved the strawberry “lock”. We went back two more times. Recommend!

    I would give more stars if I could. As American tourist visiting Paris for the first time, we were thrilled to happen upon this gem. The best treats we had ever had and a very friendly (English speaking) staff. A must go for anyone in Paris.

    Exceptional espresso, wonderful treats (macaroons and almond croissant were to die for). The inside is beautiful or take your treats to go and enjoy the view of Notre Dame right across the River!

    Absolutely fantastic. I rarely give 5 stars but the cafe itself was lovely, the desserts and chocolates were gorgeous, and the plating was extremely cute. The food, coffee, and desserts were delicious. The employees were also very friendly. We went earlier in the morning, around 10:30-11 and it wasn't at all crowded.

    A lovely cafe a short walk from Notre Dame, I went here based on reviews and to have an apple! We got 4 cakes from here unfortunately by the time we got home, the crème brûlée dessert had smashed, which was a shame, but it tasted delicious! The apple dessert is like eating a crisp green apple, fresh and lights. My children had the raspberry and lemon dessert and said it was very good. Unfortunately, I didn't get to try it as it was eaten that quickly! Recommend you go here and sample the delights.

    One of the best chocolate au bon pain with almonds I had in Paris. The raspberry meringue was equally impressive all the while sitting in the window near Notre Dame.

    We visited here after walking around Notre Dame, it’s a lovely cute patisserie with intricate, hand crafted desserts. The atmosphere was cozy and warm, you could just sit here for ages, there are chairs in the front where you can people watch whilst you enjoy your food, otherwise plenty of space more inside. We got the apple thing (sorry can’t remember what it was called!) but it looked exactly like an apple! It was a chocolate shell (?) with mousse, tart apple filling and a sponge/biscuit base. It was a bit pricy at around €7 but for how it was crafted, definitely worth it. I will say that the look was better than the taste however, as it did not blow me away. The croissant was filled with bechamel and ham, topped with cheese. When you order it they will heat it up for you. This was delicious, creamy and rich. The latte and hot chocolate were also good. Service was also friendly and quick. Come here if you want to take nice pictures of the desserts. Thank you for the cute experience!

    A good patisserie where you can have a cup of coffee with dessert while contemplating Notre Dame on the other bank of the Seine. The coffee is tasty enough, and the desserts are different from those you can find in regular pastry shops. I recommend to try creme brûlée with cafe allonge. Friendly staff, enough space inside and a small terrace outside. Prices are adequate. Everything you need for a short break during your walk through Paris.

    Fantastic cafe with excellent quiches. The goats cheese quiches was excellent and I had a macaroon which was equally tasty. Great atmosphere with outdoor seating and a view of the notre dame although there's not too many seats available.

    Nestled in the vibrant neighborhood near Notre Dame, is a hidden gem that combines inventive pastries, delectable flavors, and exceptional coffee.

    The staff was extremely charming and accommodating. Our group of seven was seated and served quickly, and the pastries we tried were packed full of flavor. The croissant ham and cheese sandwiches were delightfully light and fluffy. Definitely would recommend.

    We really enjoyed our time here. The cafe has a great view of Notre-Dame. The pastries were delicious. We had the hazelnut and strawberry one. Both were good but the hazelnut was fantastic. The cappuccino was ok but I dropped them to 4 because the hot chocolate was awful. We would go back for the pastries but would get a different drink.

    I was revisiting the damaged (sadly) Notre Dame from a distance when I came across this elegant and inviting cafe. Of course its strategic location from the Seine river bank right across the cathedral, and being a corner shop, added to its appeal. Good for doing some reading while observing Paris street scene. But what was most appealing were its daintily crafted pastries. As one who enjoyed coffee I can't resist. The pastry I ordered was great! Coffee was good too. It is cozy, with perhaps 6-7 tables.

  • 5/5 Kerry B. 8 months ago on Google • 54 reviews
    So delicious. Right across the street/ River from notre dame. Loved the notre dame apple!. Great mixture of sweet and tart but not sugary sweet. All the desserts I had were delicious. The lemon tart was very lemony. Wish I had bought more from them!.

  • 5/5 ARTISTIC_VISION 3 months ago on Google • 31 reviews New
    One of the most beautiful cafes overlooking Notre Dame Cathedral Street. It includes a variety of dishes, including delicious French desserts, which I enjoy for my second visit to this beautiful cafe and the pleasure of sitting in it 😍👌🏼💯🍰☕💯👍🏼

  • 5/5 O A. 4 months ago on Google • 21 reviews
    This is a little patisserie right infront of Notre dam. Quiche with Spinach and Tartine Vegetarienne was very delicious. The deserts looked lovely and fancy but we didnt try. Especially the apple looking deserts were famous. I would recommend this place!

  • 5/5 Nathan C. 2 years ago on Google
    Beautiful pastries in a nice spot near Notre Dame. My only disappointment was that it was closed on Wednesdays when I tried to come back for more.

  • 5/5 Alex N. 2 years ago on Google
    Excellent sweets. A little expensive, but definitely worth it! Nice stuff also!

  • 5/5 Orbán J. 2 years ago on Google
    You can treat yourself to divine desserts and sandwiches here at this place. The waiters were nice too! I highly recommend it to everyone!

  • 5/5 Aisling C. 2 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Kirti K. 3 years ago on Google
    Wow, the pastries left us speechless. Highly recommend this place. Can't wait to visit again.

  • 5/5 Ben D. 6 months ago on Google
    Really lovely little cafe by the river! Just opposite Norte Dame cathedral. We order two of the special deals which included a main, salad and desert! I was so excited when I found out that included any of the patisseries. They’re so pretty. The staff were super friendly and were kind enough to let me swap an item because of my allergies! I’d recommend this stop off to anyone on a bit of a budget or who wants a stop off along the Seine. Much more friendly and fun than some of the other offerings!

  • 5/5 Patrícia C. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing Patisserie! The pastries look like art pieces and they are not too sweet which is perfect. Service is super friendly. I would go back many times if I could.

  • 5/5 Martina K. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing little spot right next to the Notre Dame. Fair prices (considering it’s Paris), amazing service and very nice ambience. We got the Lunch combo for 12€ :)

  • 5/5 Ellie 2 years ago on Google
    I had a great experience here. I visited a few years ago when I noticed a Miami of Ohio flag, as that is where I was currently going to school. What a small world!!!! Great family owned business, and great hot chocolate!!

  • 5/5 Fanni M. 2 years ago on Google
    The café is cozy, welcoming and joyful. The prices are fair and they accept Maestro card, as well. We did not try the cakes, but they were beautiful. The staff is kind, nice and helpful. The toilette sign is the best. :) If I visit Paris again, I will definitely come back! :)

  • 2/5 Harukeyn 7 months ago on Google
    Food: 2/5 ⭐️ Price: 2/5 ⭐️ Service: 5/5 ⭐️ This quaint spot boasts a cozy ambiance complemented by truly accommodating staff who were more than willing to address all my inquiries. However, when it came to the actual treats, they left much to be desired. Lacking any distinct or memorable flavors, they felt rather ordinary—just sugary confections without much else to offer. Coupled with a steeper price tag than one might expect for such offerings, it's unlikely I'll be giving this place another shot.

  • 5/5 Minghan H. 1 year ago on Google
    Great location and you can see the Seine river and Notre-Dame de Paris. We had some Macarons, chocolate cakes, and coffee to spend a cozy late morning.

  • 5/5 Massimo A. 2 years ago on Google
    If you want to taste maybe the best "macarons" try this cafè. Enjoy Notre Dame sight (unfortunately from the side in maintenance due to the fire of years ago) and relax with their patissierie.

  • 5/5 Alyssa P. 1 year ago on Google
    Very quaint patisserie! They have a kids corner full of toys which made my littles so thrilled. Espresso smelled delicious and there were quite a few options to choose from. The macarons are to die for; beautiful texture and flavor, and very fresh!

  • 5/5 melloskitten 1 year ago on Google
    Nice patissierie with adorable little cakes & tartes. We sat outside and enjoyed the sweets. Coffee was good as well, and the cafe was decorated beautifully. Definitely worth a visit!

    Adorable patisserie right across from Notre Dame on banks of the Seine. Service was fantastic & everything tasted wonderful! A great spot to stop in for a bite as you're out & about. Tres bien!
