Not sure how it’s only rated at 4 stars, while half year ago it was 4.7? (Fake reviews from competition?). After 13 years of living in Paris and trying over 30 different bakeries, I can with confidence tell the viennoiseries are good. If you think these are not good- you haven’t had a bad one yet.

Tea is comparatively expensive (4.50€ for a cup compared to a croissant for 1.70€) Throughout the week I tried several different pastries (cinnamon croissant, almond croissant) and even bread and everything was great and super delicious! The only thing I didn’t like is that I don’t live there and can not have a pastry every day. Maybe...
