If I could give 10 stars I would. I am but a humble American tourist so my experience is limited, but I am very much a foodie and this was my last meal in Paris. I got a sandwich to-go - the chicken / cheddar panini.
This may be the best sandwich I have ever had in my life. The quality for ~6 euros is beyond anything I will ever get anywhere in the USA. I am certain something smaller and worse quality would be more than double the price here. The many savory lunch options were a very positive sign for me coming in and every component of this sandwich harmonized beautifully into one.
The crusty exterior but soft interior of the grilled panini (which had a nice smoky flavor). The moist/tender chicken that was balanced by the savory, robust flavors of the cheddar, caramelized onions, and tangy Dijon mustard (possibly some mayo too? Unclear - I didnât read all the ingredients). The tomatoes also added a bit of moistness / lightness that additionally helped balance this sandwich.
THESE FLAVORS SANG AND MY HEART AND STOMACH HEARD. I wasnât even that hungry but this was just pure delight. Thank you Boulangerie Bacillus - I will never forget...

It's a rarity to find such understanding and helpful service in Paris.
The pastries were a true delight, and the overall ambiance of the shop added to the positive vibes of my visit. If you're looking for a boulangerie with great pastries and a welcoming atmosphere, Boulangerie Bacillus - Dames is a...
