BOULANGERIE PARIS & CO — Restaurant in Paris

In terms of the bakery itself, the quality is very good. Their baguette is among the best in France, and their croissants and viennoiseries are excellent. The tarts and pastries aren’t as strong, though their flan is definitely worth trying.

My lower rating, however, is not about the food. It’s about something more serious: the way foreign customers are treated. On my last visit, I tapped my card, the payment was canceled, she adjusted the terminal, turned it back to me with the price increased, and when I questioned it, she said it was because I had a foreign card then pulled out another terminal without the extra fee. A Mastercard is a Mastercard everywhere, and I already pay foreign transaction fees through my own bank. To be charged again at the terminal feels like exploitation of tourists, which is deeply disappointing in a city like Paris that survives...

I heard about this place on Tik Tok and set my mind on trying their famous flan. Before that point, I had never eaten a flan in my life, so I didn’t know what to expect I arrived at around 10 am and both wait lines (for online and in shop orders) weren’t too long, so the wait is relatively short, and I got my order pretty quick The taste was good, but what really makes it special to me is the quantity : it had be stuffed for the rest of the day! Overall, I absolutely recommend...

I saw the advertisement on Instagram that the flan here is very delicious. And I came to buy it. Honestly, it is not as delicious as advertised. For me, it is about 7/10 points, the cake is a bit too sweet. Crust is very soft and chewy. The pain au chocolat is also dry and not crispy.

Another thing, the staff is not friendly, she seem to rush me to buy quickly even though I have just been in for about 2 minutes and was thinking about buying something else...
