A bakery counter in Le Marais
Boulangerie du Marais is an independent bakery on Rue de la Verrerie, in the heart of Le Marais and a short walk from Saint-Paul station.
The croissant is the one to get, priced around €1.40. The almond croissant is a close second. The brie sandwich is a simple, tasty lunch. Chocolate eclairs and a Paris-Brest are also on the pastry side, and the sandwiches run to cold cuts, cheese and vegetables. You can pay in cash or by card.
The shop works as a bakery first: you order at the counter, and there is a small eat-in area with tables. Coffee is served in a paper or plastic cup even when you sit down, and there is an extra charge of around €0.60 to €0.80 per item for eating in. Expect a wait at the counter before anyone comes to serve you. A sandwich or quiche with a dessert and a drink comes as a set formula.
Prices are reasonable for the area: two croissants cost about €2.90, and the €1–10 range covers most of what is sold here. The eat-in surcharge adds up quickly, so if you are watching the total, take your pastry away rather than sitting down.

Who is this for
This suits anyone staying in Le Marais, since it opens at 7 am every day. It also works for a simple lunch stop, with the brie sandwich and quiche.
If you want to gather fresh produce and picnic supplies rather than just a pastry, Marché Baudoyer on Place Baudoyer is the better stop on Wednesdays and Saturdays.
The verdict
Eating in adds a small charge per item, so it is a place to grab a croissant and go rather than to settle in.
