Cute little shop that does mostly take away. Their food is excellent, sandwiches tasty and fresh, pastries are great and service is friendly. English speaking. Definately worth a stop on your trip to Paris. We got lunch here 3 times. Each time was delicious.

The service here was great and very friendly. Croissant was one of the best we had in the city! With enough space to dine in, it was comfortable having breakfast with two kids. Highly recommended!

We found this by accident, it was our first taste in Paris. My mom and sister and I were originally going to eat at another location but that place wasn’t open yet. The owner set the tone for the rest of our trip with her kindness, amazing baked items and ready made food. I would kill to have a similar place back in California. She knew we were tourists looking unsure and she made us feel so at ease. Helping me figure out the euro coins, bringing us free pastries at the end. It turns out that none of the other bakeries we tried came close. Their espresso brew was delicious, so much flavor. We also shared a simple salmon/green bean salad that was seasoned perfectly. They had a lot of savory sandwiches and a fresh rotation of scrumptious salads, the prices were very good too. Thank you to the owner for being so helpful and warm.

Staff are so friendly, it was a joy to here here! We had sandwiches and salad on the side (food is ordered and paid before sitting down) and we probably had the best sandwiches of our lives (especially the croque-monsieur!)
