Poilâne

Aside from their world-renowned breads , try to head over there around 5pm to get still-warm-from-the-oven apple tarts and a slice of flan which are both the absolute best in the world!

Bread , gray salt, chocolate croissants , butter cookies and their daily pastry/tart. Gorgeous bread knives (Specify whether you want a right- or left-handed one). Not open on Sundays. Get there early.

Tarte aux pommes is the best thing that can happen to you in Paris. I also love their gingerbread cake , tastes awesome with butter and tea ...

The best bread in Paris based on a secret family recipe . Try their signature loaf, also known as miche or pain au levain, and the famous “punitions”, shortbread cookies that melt in your mouth. Read more

One of the best and most classic bakery in Paris. They use old techniques and no preservatives which really make their rustique products shine.

Literally some of the most highly sought after bread in the world...and for good reason! This is just 1 of many locations across Paris.

Hier gibt es lecker Brot! Le petit déjeuner. One of the best classic bakeries in Paris. Old secret recipe. No preservatives. Snacks . ???? ???? ????

I cannot say enough good things about Poilâne. Not a ton of pastries in the Cherche-Midi shop but what they serve, they do v well . Tartes aux pommes had me salivating after every bite. GO!

Great place for breakfast (they have a coffee place next door). Their croissant is perfect

Famous for their massive sourdough loaves, which are luckily available by the slice ("tranche"). Pain Chocolat is also extremely good.

As you step into this bakery , you would notice that the sourdough bread is commonly used here. This bakery also offers some excellent pastries .

Amazing sourdough that you can purchase by weight in slices. Still delicious after freezing. Didn't have a good experience with the pain au chocolat , found it way too dense

Best croissants . No competition. No seating here for retail (though there is a sit down restaurant ) so get your pain au chocolat and take it to a nearby park .

Amazing pain au chocolat , delicious tartelettes aux pommes, and the flakiest croissants

The most amazing apple tartlet, even if it looks unassuming. Get it.

When in Paris.. you are simply obligated to try the famous croissants and pain au chocolat at least once. And trust us; this is the place to do it!

A must visit for bread lovers. Try anything - it'll still be better than anything you'll have Stateside.

Nice small and very French. But no where near as good as all the reviews. I am sorry but I have had better croissants from supermarkets !

Apparently one of the best croissants in the town . Very packed, not able to speak in english. Pastry was nice but could be more fre

Croissants are very delicious! Love it ????????????

Try their Poilâne sourdough bread here. They char the crust and is great with some fresh, salted butter on it.

Crossiants and punitions are a must-buy. So is their special miche. Look out for their bread chandelier at the back.

Pain au chocolate ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ The best I ever had.

Head over to Poilane for one of the city ’s (and the world’s) most famous pain au chocolat . While you’re there, grab some bread , a raisin bun , and basically whatever else you can get your hands on.

Great rustic loaves. Decent croissants . Pass on the flan .

The true & unique French bakery - Pain Poilâne is a world reference - their biscuits are awesome

Get their bread . It's their claim to fame and the recipe has been in their family for many generations

Croissant and pain du chocolat are worth a try if you are int the area. Fair price .

No dining at the bakery , but brunch on Sundays at Cuisine de Bar right next door.

The croissants here are a delicacy. I'm also not a big fan of apple deserts but the tart is amazing.

Probably best for getting a loaf of bread as opposed to a pastry . No place to sit here.

Incredible bread and food delivered by friendly and authentic people

Great bread . Apple pie is magnificent. Bit pricey though

Most delicious croissants i have ever tasted in my life! Soo gooood

The best bread I ever had....

A place to go back!! Great tartes aux pommes omnomnom

Flan , sables, the famous bread !

Try the tart de flan . Easily the best I ever ate!

Over 200 years old bakery , one of the best in paris

below-average croissant , but great sourdough bread !

Apple pastry and flan is delicious!!

The apple tart was pretty awesome.

It was the worst croissant in my life. They brought it from somewhere outside. No people there at all. Staff is listening their own music , had feeling that I’m in the after party

Bread and cookies were fantastic

If you love bread we have to visit this place.

I don't think I've had a better chocolate croissant (pain au chocolat .)

Breakfast was excellent

good croissant and chausson aux pommes

The best bread you can dream of
