DU PAIN ET DES IDÉES REVIEWS
Really light, buttery and flaky croissants which were definitely some of our favourites during our stay! We also tried the pistachio, red berries and rum and raisins escargots, and they were all delicious - would perhaps recommend the last two over the pistachio one though. The baguettes were also great and the boulagerie itself very quaint!
This place was awesome! Very good croissant. Pistachio thing was good. Their pain des amis was good, but crust was hard. I think that’s how the French like it. Would definitely go again. Was pretty cheap.
The best bakery in Paris! Absolutely worth the wait in line. The pistachio dark chocolate escargot was phenomenal.

LADURÉE REVIEWS
Went here to celebrate a 65th birthday. We decided to go big and we all got a brunch option. So. Much. Food. It was absolutely delicious. Everything was amazing. It was a bit more food per person than what we expected. If you're not a big eater consider sharing a brunch. We spent such a lovely time sitting in the outside area. It is one of my favourite Paris memories. The orange juice was fresh. The dessert wasn't too sweet. The eggs benedict perfectly cooked. Make sure to take a trip to the bathrooms upstairs. They're also beautiful.
Without a doubt, this was the best Macaron I have eaten in Paris. Extremely friendly and kind staff. There are two entrances, one for dining in and one for takeout. I highly recommend ordering takeaway, so that you don't waste your time in a long line! But if you prefer dining in, try the outdoor space, so you can enjoy Champs-Élysées boulevard! Be sure to try the pistachio croissants with chocolate filling, along with the delicious macaroons.
I love this place! I had the best french toast in my life. And hot chocolate was amazing but cappuccino was just so so but staffs were very kind, I’m definitely visit next week!

AKI BOULANGERIE REVIEWS
Really nice blend of Japanese and French bakery, I liked the fusion of flavors and concepts, ideas. The Curry Beignet was like nothing I've ever tried before. And the matcha is really nice and great texture. Definitely worth a try!
Delicious pastry and coffee. Very generous and good prices. Hot chai late was amazing. We came back several times for more yuzu eclairs and we bought a very nice strawberry cake as a present.
I really love their foods and desserts! It was like I had lunch in Japan. Normally I am not a big fan of sweets but sweets here are super amazing. Will come back for sure whenever in Paris :-)
