    Step into a world of delectable delights at this charming bakery that left an indelible mark on my palate. The lemon tart was an absolute highlight – a perfect blend of zesty freshness and sweetness that danced on my taste buds. But the surprises didn't stop there; the award-winning quiche was a revelation, confirming its reputation with each scrumptious bite. Nestled in a cozy setting, the atmosphere exudes warmth and comfort, making every visit feel like a treat. The attentive staff greeted me with genuine smiles, and their friendliness was a welcome touch, especially for someone navigating the language barrier. From bagels to croissants, cakes to coffee, every item I sampled was a testament to the bakery's dedication to quality. The generous portion of coffee in their distinctive brown paper cups was a testament to their commitment to satisfying customers. The intimate interior offers a limited seating space, but that only adds to the bakery's charm. Whether indulging in an oversized, flaky croissant or savoring a mouthwatering bagel topped with salmon and avocado, each visit was a culinary adventure. Their reputation is well-deserved, and I found myself returning to this gem multiple times during my stay. This bakery is a testament to the authenticity of French pastries and the warmth of their hospitality. Don't hesitate to immerse yourself in their flavors, and make sure to take a piece of their magic home with you.

    Great pastries and sweets. I recommend the cheesecake and Pain au chocolates / chocolatine. Small store but seating available outside and later at nighttime

    A cute delightful bakery in Rue De Buci that’s also easy on the pocket! We had the croissant, pain au chocolat, grilled cheese sandwich, orange juice and hot chocolate. The service was super friendly and sweet and the food was great too. Would highly recommend and would visit again if I get the chance

    The staff here is extremely nice. My son has a nut allergy and I can't speak French. They were very patient with me and helped us figure out what he could eat. The food and coffee was all top notch.

    I had a quiche that was very tasty and refreshing. The tarte tantin tasted also amazing . Although the store is small, there are tables outside as well. There were a lot of different breads I wanted to try, and there were also sandwiches, so it's a good place to go for lunch.

    This place should be ashamed to sell quiche. It was cold and running with water like it had been frozen and half heated in a microwave. Absolutely gross! Paris, this is not winning. Yuck!!!

    Best patisserie we tried in Paris. I was traveling with a professional pastry chef so trust me we tried A LOT. Could have done without the strawberry but the hazelnut and pistachio were simply magnificent

    Came here for breakfast. Cappuccino from the machine was mediocre. Croissant was ok, but nothing special. Salad with Salmon looked much better than tasted. I don’t recommend the place.

    Lovely bakery! We stopped here for a French breakfast and got a coffee, juice, and baked good. The croissant and the scone were both so delicious. The staff was friendly and helpful since we didn’t speak French. I’m sad I didn’t get to try more items and I would definitely go back!

    I came here for a croissant and coffee. The croissant, to my surprise, was astounding. Wow. Buttery, thick, crispy. Please try it. I got the last one for the day before they sold out, thank goodness. The coffee was good and it came from a machine; nothing extraordinary but it was solid.

    Amazing Croissants, crisp coffee and absolutely delicious carrot cake and gluten free chocolate cake. Loved it! And the service was super quick. Seating area is a bit tight but that's how it is here everywhere it seems.

    Wonderful bakery with great espresso and the Paris Brest was delicious! The quiche looks amazing and will definitely have to try the next time I’m in the area. Staff are friendly and welcoming. Best spot on the strip!

    Despite some reviews of the service here being terrible, I've had one good and one mediocre experiences so far. The younger lady behind the counter is extremely nice and helpful, speaking English and answering any questions. A slightly older older lady was more harsh but I still got what I wanted. Their palmier here is amazing and I'd recommend it to anyone in the area. I brought it on a flight out and the young woman helped be wrap it and assured me it would survive my journey. She was right! And it was a hit. Had the mushroom soup which was overly salty and almost inedible although the flavour itself was good. Also had the croque pastrami which was decent. Prices are very good given the area.

    Ordered two decaffeinated coffees, they came caffeinated. When asked to change they refused to do so without additional pay! Astonishingly rude staff and also toasted a smoked salmon bagel which resulted in the salmon being cooked. In a city littered with good places to eat, save yourself the time and avoid this rude little place. Given the need for customers after lockdown you’d think they would need to learn to treat customers better. Hopefully the next time I’m in Paris I’ll see a ‘closed’ sign.

    Delicious cabinet full of a variety of baked goods and sandwiches to cater for the sweet tooth or savoury lover (like myself). Still had to try the palmier which was delicious! Service not amazing but friendly enough and great English speakers available. Highly recommend

    Was recommended Smith's by a friend and it did not disappoint. Pain au chocolate and croissant were excellent.

    I have spent every Thursday afternoon here for almost 2 years. The hunt for the cheesecake, a sandwich, the pies (the pies!!) or the super scrumptious cakes.. you name it. The apple crumble? Amazing. I never know what to take and want it all at the same time. I love coming here!

    The most delicious treats in Paris! Wish we discovered this bakery earlier in our trip! If you are looking for a special experience you must try this bakery and go in the morning before they run out of their croissants! The Paris brest is delicious and so are their cookies! The staff are so kind and make you feel welcomed! Everything is delicious!

    Amazing quiche, best I've ever had. Delicious pastries, we had a quiche, pain au chocolate a hazelnut pastry (both fantastic) and two coffees for 26 euros. The coffee was just a machine coffee but the food was absolutely amazing!

  • 5/5 Kahikina 1 year ago on Google
    I love this place. My boyfriend picked up croissants for us the first two mornings since we arrived in Paris. The third morning I wanted to go there together to sit and have a cafe as well. The croissants are buttery, flaky, and gigantic! The pastries are also delicious. I came back for lunch and my goodness- the bagel with salmon and avocado was to die for! I want to come back here again to try the salmon quiche! Staff was friendly.

    Great Lorraine Quiche. Delicious coffee. Quiet pretty location.

  • 5/5 Emily O. 4 years ago on Google
    The CUTEST little cafe with absolutely relish food. The quiche was amazing and the sweets were to die for.

  • 3/5 joshua a. 4 years ago on Google
    Not too bad. We got the quiche Loraine, tomato pizza-ish quiche, and a spinach and cheese. The Loraine was the best then the pizza one and i wouldn’t order the spinach one again.

    Wonderful little bakery with the best croissant I’ve had in Paris. We came for brunch twice during our visit.

    Such a cute and cozy spot with really friendly staff. I had a delicious lentil soup and caprese sandwich.

  • 5/5 Keshk 1 year ago on Google
    Cozy place and great location. I highly recommend the pain au chocolat.

  • 3/5 Edward G. 2 years ago on Google
    Croissant and pain au chocolate 4/5, coffee was straight out of a very average machine, 2/5. For the price, the coffees should be better.

  • 5/5 Liz 1 year ago on Google
    Broad range of choices for breakfast and lunch. Quiche Lorraine was divine. Coffee super. Service was excellent and they were very kind as I attempted to order in French. Will go back!

    Best citrus tarte I have ever eaten. Summer 2018. Can’t wait to return.

  • 5/5 Yaroslav K. 1 year ago on Google
    Delicious French 🍨. The lemon tart was devine. It featured well balanced flavors and textures that weren't overpowering each other. Great introduction to the world of French desserts 🍨.

  • 5/5 Alessandro S. 1 year ago on Google
    Everything was very good! The quiche was fenomenal and also the bagel with chicken was very good. At the end of the metal we took also a tar tatin (with Apple) and it was very good. Super suggested

  • 1/5 Jason S. 2 years ago on Google
    Scams tourists by giving wrong change. They will take advantage of you if you do not speak English. Highly disspointed as this was my first dining experience in Paris. Avoid this place at all costs. Employees are probably pocketing the money they scam from non English speaking tourists.

    Great place with top notch pastries! Definitely the food-highlight of my trip in Paris. The hazelnut Paris-Brest is a must try. The cream is of perfect texture— very rich and smooth. The croissant was buttery and absolutely delicious. Lovely bakery with friendly and welcoming staff. Highly recommended!
