BO&MIE - Saint Martin — Restaurant in Paris

I came to work for a few hours looking for a ‘cozy’ place to have coffee and then lunch with my computer. The coffee was pretty overpriced. The little brioche was good enough and fairly priced. The staff I interacted with were friendly enough. The wifi was completely useless! I had to tether to my phone in order to get connection. The music is also often super loud which is distracting and could make it uncomfortable to actually talk to anyone. My worst complaint however is that it is extremely COLD and drafty. There’s a side door that doesn’t close properly and despite SIX people working, one who is always within arms reach of the door, and several waves of an empty shop, I’ve gotten up at least six times to close it myself because none of them can be bothered to either reach over and close it themselves, fix the darned thing, or ask incoming clients to close the door behind them. It’s been open almost the entire time I’ve been here. I’m leaving without ordering lunch because I can’t imagine eating with my hands frozen like this… going home :(. It’s too bad because I thought this would be. A good solution for working in the neighborhood but I will avoid it...

We had coffee and pastries at Boe & Mie several times on a recent visit to Paris. We stumbled across this location on a walk one day and I loved how clean and bright everything was. It definitely feels a bit corporate, but the food certainly did not!

I've tasted the chocolate praline croissant (yes, it's as delicious as it sounds), the smoked salmon sandwich, a quiche, and several coffee drinks. All were delicious and I can see why there are several locations around the city.

The only drawback here is that there is ALWAYS a line, no matter what time of day it is. However, I'm a believer that good food is worth waiting for! I was also a little confused about how to order so I'll clarify for everyone here:

Get in line As you're in line, look at all the delicious pastries so that you know what you want when it's your turn. Make sure you know what coffee you want as well! You do NOT wait until you get all the way to the cash register to order. Someone will call on you when you're next and you should give them your entire order at one time, including drinks. Enjoy! You're...

I recently had the pleasure of visiting a delightful bakery in the heart of Paris, and I must say, their croissants and cheese cakes left me absolutely spellbound. Nestled on a quaint street, this bakery exudes an irresistible aroma that draws you in from afar.

The croissants at this bakery are nothing short of perfection. The moment I took my first bite, I was transported to a world of buttery bliss. Each croissant boasted a crisp, golden exterior with a beautifully flaky texture that practically melted in my mouth. The layers were light, airy, and expertly baked, creating a symphony of flavors with every bite.

In addition, the bakery also offers a wide selection of other pastries, cakes, and bread, all of which are equally tantalizing. Their attention to detail and passion for baking are evident in every creation, making it a true haven for pastry enthusiasts.

If you find yourself in Paris, do yourself a favor and make a beeline for this extraordinary bakery. Your taste buds will thank you as you experience croissants that are nothing...
