About this store
Boulangerie Baptiste is an independent bakery on Rue des Moines, in Batignolles, and the first thing you notice inside is the breadth of the counter: breads, viennoiseries, pastries and sandwiches laid out together, with photos of a Meilleur Ouvrier de France on the wall.
The pastry to buy first is the Batignolles, named for the neighbourhood and the thing to order if you only buy one sweet. The lemon meringue pie sits beside it as the other dessert worth your money. For something to eat walking, the pain au chocolat praliné comes out fresh and flaky, and the corn bread is the loaf to ask for if you want something to carry home.
Sandwiches are made here too. The veggie baguette is the one to pick, built with quality ingredients and still fresh if you catch it late in the day. There is also a brioche that is soft and airy, and a focaccia that holds up well.
Prices stay low for what you get, with a few items landing between €5 and €20; a chicken pasta salad runs €8.80, which is the top of what a single item costs here.
Go for the Batignolles pastry and the praliné viennoiserie, and this is a fine stop for anyone staying in the 17th.

The pick list
What to bring home
Traditional baguette
The classic baguette is the reason to come, with a flavour that keeps people returning.
Batignolles pastry
The pastry named for the neighbourhood, and the one regulars point to first; a visitor who had it alongside a praline bread had no complaints about it at all.
Corn bread
The corn bread is the loaf to ask about if you want the one people single out, with one regular calling it the best in Paris.
Cinnamon roll
The pastries and viennoiseries get a special mention from more than one regular.
Veggie sandwich
A vegetarian baguette sandwich made with quality ingredients; one visitor picked one up at the end of the day and found it still fresh.
Who is this for
This suits a traveler staying in the 17th who wants a pastry and a coffee-sized spend rather than a full meal, with the Batignolles and the lemon meringue pie as the reason to walk over. It also works for anyone catching the metro at Brochant who wants a veggie baguette or a praliné viennoiserie for the road.
If you want to assemble a picnic from fresh produce and stalls rather than buy a single pastry, the Marché Couvert Batignolles is a hundred metres along the same street.
The verdict
This is a pastry-and-sandwich stop rather than a bakery to build a meal around.
