I stopped here a few times due to its location and variety.  Breakfast pastries, lunch sandwiches and dinner desserts were well stocked and plentiful.

It was hard not to walk by without grabbing something!

My son and I stopped by here on a whim to try the eclairs. It was a decision we didn't regret. I wanted to try more but we had already had lunch and were pretty full. I'd definitely stop in again for the desserts. The person who helped us wasn't rude but she definitely wasn't nice or messing around. I spoke my best terrible French and tried but she was having none of it, hence the 4 instead of 5 stars. Still a great place to stop by after a few hours at the louvre.

Cute little cafe. Can get super busy -- you tell the lady at the counter what you would like to order, they give you a paper with the total and you pay at the front. 
The sandwich was really good but this is definitely a grab and go kind of place so I recommend quickly ordering and not crowding the register as you wait for your food.

The baked goods and pastries were amazing. The salmon quiche was my favorite. We loved this place so much we went back even after they were rude to us. Just to clarify it was only two of the women that were rude. The other days were fine. The one lady huffed and puffed about having to walk a few extra steps to add a croissant to our order. I listened to the taller lady talk poorly about us in French. I speak a little French but understand it very well. Our visit was October 11 and 12.. around 10:30 a.m. I never leave a bad review.. if I don't like a place, I just move on... but in this instance, it was a very disappointing experience.

Delicious and beautiful handmade sandwiches and desserts!The first time I visited was 2007 and never forgot about this pastry shop. My last visit was September 2023.

Got a quick lunch here--€6,50 deal for a baguette sandwich (jambon et beurre for me), eclair (chocolate or coffee), and drink (Orangina, of course!). Super easy walk from the Louvre, so we walked right back to les Jardins de Tuileries to people watch while we ate. 

Had a bit of a tough time finding it as the name is only on a little stand-up sign. Hint: it's the place that says "Boulangerie" above the door and has counter service with no seating.

Lovely quick spot to stop by after visiting the Louvre. Cute little bakery shop of sandwiches and desserts with three tiny stand up spots against the wall. We enjoyed everything we tried, their ham and cheese croissant is out of this world! Also especially enjoyed their creme brûlée. Their dessert presentation is also very cutesy.

Excellent bakeries and coffee. It was an unexpected walk-in but it was pleasantly surprised. Everything we bought here tasted amazing. I will definitely return and try more items.

I wasn't going to buy anything. I just wanted to look. I already had so much sweets, but could not resist...Well, I was in Paris.

Very cute and very colorful. Tiny cakes were so delicious. 
I will make myself hungry before I come back here. 
I have to make it happen!

Food: This bakery was recommended by the Manager of the Hotel du Louvre. And it was a great recommendation. Everything was good: croissants, sandwiches, choquettes. All good. Went back several times. And I would go back the next time I'm in Paris. Best part: it's patronized by Parisians and not just lucky tourists.
