Abi Boulangerie — Restaurant in Paris

Went in around 7:40 am to a delightful display of viennoiserie, breads, cakes and sandwiches (typical of those found in bakeries). There was a nice selection but there wasn't a lot of depth. I hope there were more out of sight. There are notes on the different pastries so you know the differences. If you can't see well, the baker will tell you difference between them. (We spoke French, not sure if he speaks English.) I bought a croissant, pain au chocolat, chausson aux pommes, un escargot au spéculoos, and a baguette. Walking away, and in the cool morning air I started eating the baguette.... The croissant was amazing, and less expensive than so called "croissants" in Jakarta, or a true croissant in the US. The chausson aux pommes, which I first discovered as a young exchange student years ago -- and is my favorite French baked good, was very flavorful, and perfectly baked. It was sweet, creamy and flavorful. This was one of the best ones I have ever had. The baguette's texture was excellent. It had a nice crunchy skin and a nice chewy flesh. The flavor was very nice, although the bottom in some areas was slightly over baked which gave it a little burnt flavor. I shared the baguette, croissant and chausson aux pommes with Indonesian friends, who shared the other pastries among themselves. We all enjoyed the pastries we ate. The next time I'm in the 11ème, I will certainly plan...

Staying at a hotel nearby, i showed up here to grab something for the breakfast. I asked for something vegetarian and the gentleman had it prepared specially. Both the man and woman here spoke perfect English, making it easy for tourists like me to communicate.

A few chairs and table there to sit and eat on spot if you want.

Overall, very pleasant experience here and highly...

Friendly attended by a lady. We loved to have breakfast there with our two young kids. Unfortunately we spilled our coffee and the lady offered us a new coffee. It was not necessary to do this. But she was nice.

We loved the chocolate croissant, it was the best I ever had. The orange jus was so sweet. The sandwich with chicken and tuna delicious....
