What to order here
Desgranges is a specialty shop in Passy, and the first thing that matters here is bread: this is the place on Rue Jean de la Fontaine that regulars use for a traditional loaf.
Start with the traditional baguette. It is the item people keep coming back for, and it also turns out pastries, sliced bread and meringues.
Croissants and pains au chocolat appear in the mix, and the Royal Chocolate cake is the clear order for a birthday cake if you want something that has already worked well for that kind of occasion.
The shop works like a straightforward bakery stop: bread, pastry and cake, with service that can feel warm and attentive.
If you want the cleanest fit, make it a bread-first stop. The trade-off is plain: this suits you if you want a proper baguette, a few pastries, or a cake order.

What to bring home
Traditional baguette
The one to get first here, called the best around.
Pastries
Croissants, pains au chocolat and the rest of the pastries are worth choosing.
Sliced bread
The sliced bread is the daily pick for one regular, and the kind welcome from the staff makes the stop easy to enjoy.
Meringues
Meringues get a separate mention from a customer who otherwise goes for the traditional baguette.
Royal Chocolate cake
Ordered for a child's birthday and recommended by Anna, the Royal Chocolate cake was a success with everyone at the party.
Who is this for
This suits someone coming for a traditional baguette. It also suits someone ordering a birthday cake or adding a few pastries to a short list.
Château Russe on Av. Mozart is the better stop if you want Eastern European provisions such as blinis and caviar rather than bread and pastries.
The verdict
It still suits anyone whose main goal is a traditional baguette or a cake order.
