While taking my two black and tan dachshunds for their daily midday walk, I decided to stop by Sain for a quick slice of brioche. I briefly paused a business call to place my order, expecting a simple and pleasant transaction. To my astonishment, an extremely unfriendly woman informed me that I would not be served again if I was on a call.
This establishment, in addition to selling exceedingly overpriced bread, seems to believe it has the authority to dictate etiquette for polite society. I am utterly flabbergasted by such unprofessional and frankly insolent behavior. This level of customer service is not only disappointing but also reflective of a broader issue.
Furthermore, I cannot help but draw a parallel between the ongoing political instability in France and this extreme behavior. It seems that the turmoil and unrest at the national level have seeped into everyday interactions, leading to an environment where common courtesy is disregarded. The experience left me questioning the values and standards upheld by this bakery and its staff.
Was her reaction influenced by the Star of David around my neck? I am increasingly inclined to believe so, which adds a disturbing layer to the encounter. Such blatant disregard for customer respect and potential underlying prejudice is unacceptable. I am sharing this review in English to ensure that tourists visiting Paris for the first time are aware of this bakeryâs behavior and can avoid a similarly unpleasant experience. In a city renowned for its charm and hospitality, such actions are a stark and unwelcome contrast.
I subsequently returned the slice of brioche and requested a refund not wanting to savor that womanâs disdain, prejudice and complete omission of tradeâs prime rule, the customer is always king.
In response to your inaccurate account of events: your employee snapped at me upon completion of the transaction stating that âshe would never serve me again should I be on the phone.â I then returned the slice of brioche and requested a refund. When did it become acceptable to dismiss customers in such a passive-aggressive manner? Her comment was entirely uncalled for.
Itâs important for any business to treat its customers with basic respect and courtesy, and I felt this was lacking during my visit. I hope this feedback can be used to improve the customer service at your...

We planned to visit around 2pm but it was saying theyâre closed for a break on google map so we came back around 4pm. It was lining up in front of the store already. Most of the stuff were sold out, only some bread and mostly cakes were left.
I took a croissant (as itâs recommended), a palmier(it looks super crispy and coated with lots of sugar) and a miquette with chocolate and banana. Staff was friendly and she tried her best to communicate and introduce the products in English as I donât speak French.
The croissant comes with a strong cinnamon smell, it is exactly kind of crispy outside and very soft and dense inside. However, for the croissant, Iâm more of a fan for the traditional crispy ones. But Iâm not saying the croissant here isnât good, just not my style. The palmier is absolutely delicious!!!! This one I recommend it.
I appreciate the creation they have with the bread and pastry and itâs also why I would like to come back for more. But the price would probably be the only thing that avoids me to go there...

-Le service souriant agrĂ©able attentionnĂ©. -La qualitĂ© des produits et des ingrĂ©dients choisis. Ainsi que leur prĂ©sentation. -Lâambiance « sereine et dĂ©contractĂ©e ».
Jâai du mal Ă comprendre certain commentaires concernant le service, la qualitĂ© et les prix đš (cela fait des annĂ©es que je scrute chaque boulangerie de Paris et dâailleurs, pour en dĂ©couvrir tout les secrets, lâalimentation est une vĂ©ritable passion pour moi.
Et lâalimentation saine devenue une obligation!
Quel plaisir de découvrir ces viennoiseries, levain bio, sucré non raffiné, (il me semble blé ancien), elles sont toutes délicieuses!!
Mention spĂ©ciale: chausson aux pommes, chausson abricot, bien caramĂ©lisĂ©s mais pas trop, loin de lâĂ©cĆurement de certain caramel au sucre blanc trop prĂ©sent, le goĂ»t de la pomme ou de lâabricot absolument sublime (les abricots dâaujourdâhui sont de qualitĂ© ça se sent! Un parfait mĂ©lange entre aciditĂ©, sucre du fruit/sucrĂ© complet/caramel, onctuositĂ© et feuilletage croustillant comme il faut).
PĂ©pito, croissant, pain au chocolat, pain au raisin, roule ma prune (peut-ĂȘtre un chouĂŻa lĂ©ger niveau goĂ»t, cela ne mâaurait pas dĂ©rangĂ© un peu plus dâUMEBOSHI, bien au contraire đ) trĂšs Ă©quilibrĂ©, trĂšs bon feuilletage, ça a du GOĂT! Donc ça peut sortir un petit peu de lâordinaire au niveau des saveurs, et justement, câest un privilĂšge et loin dâĂȘtre une dĂ©solation⊠câest plutĂŽt lâordinaire qui devient dĂ©solant en terme de gastronomie française maintenant, avis et constat personnel đ
Pour le pain, jâavais goĂ»tĂ© le St Martin qui Ă©tait dĂ©licieux, croĂ»te goĂ»tue croustillante, mie dense et bien assez alvĂ©olĂ©e, en accompagnement pour TOUT đ Baguette « Francis » pour aujourdâhui, 100% blĂ© ancien, enfin une baguette juste parfaite Ă mon sens, Ă©quilibrĂ©e, croĂ»te un petit peu plus Ă©paisse et croustillante que la moyenne, un goĂ»t qui vous plongera dans le blĂ© đŸ le vrai! La mie encore une fois denses et parfaitement alvĂ©olĂ©e trĂšs trĂšs bonne en goĂ»t. Rien Ă redire. CâĂ©tait ma deuxiĂšme fois en 6 mois chez eux (je ne suis pas dâici), je recommande les yeux fermĂ©s! Meilleure boulangerie saine de Paris đŸđ«đ·
PS: je suis assez sensible au sucre en gĂ©nĂ©ral y compris complet et surtout cĂ©rĂ©ales suite Ă une detox ayurvedique puissante, jâai mangĂ© lâĂ©quivalent de 4/5 viennoiseries + une demie baguette AUCUN problĂšme de digestion ou sensation dĂ©sagrĂ©able au niveau du colon intestin ou estomac. Magique pour moi qui en une pĂątisserie ou viennoiserie « classique » mais de qualitĂ© tombe Ă terre niveau digestion.
Merci dâexister, je suis quelquâun dâhonnĂȘte, je me suis senti obligĂ© de vous tirer mon chapeau, vous faites du bien Ă la capitale et du bien au savoir faire français, je vous souhaite de continuer et de grandir comme vous le souhaitez/mĂ©ritez, bravo...
