About this store
Aux gourmands de la place is an independent bakery on Place Jacques Bonsergent, in Canal Saint-Martin. The pastry counter is small but holds a wide variety: layered cakes, macarons and viennoiseries laid out side by side.
The Fraisier is where to start. It is a layered strawberry cake, moist and full of flavour, and it is the item that makes the walk to this corner of the 10th worthwhile. The pink praline roll is the value pick at around two euros, a pastry you rarely see in Parisian bakeries, and the croissant alongside it is flaky and well made. For something savoury, the ham and butter sandwich is a classic jambon-beurre, and the quiches hold up too.
The shop runs as a counter operation: you point, they wrap, you pay. Cream puffs go into bags rather than boxes, which is worth knowing if you are carrying them any distance. The macarons are small and easy to add to an order at the last minute.
A praline roll at roughly two euros and a mixed bag of pastries for well under ten both fit inside the €1–10 range. Go late in the day and a small trompe-l'œil sometimes comes your way with your purchase.
It suits anyone staying nearby who wants a proper Fraisier in the morning.
