About this store
This is an independent bakery on Avenue de Suffren in Passy, the kind of corner shop that fills up the moment the tower crowds spill down the avenue. You notice the pastry counter first, then the queue that sometimes reaches the sidewalk.
Order the croissant. It is flaky and fresh, and it is what brings people back a second time the same day. The pain au chocolat goes out with breakfast sets; the baguette sandwiches, filled with sausage, cheese or chicken, run from just over €5 and fill you properly. A croque monsieur is the lunch order if you came for a morning pastry and stayed. Macarons and a large soft-serve ice cream cover the sweet end.
It works as a counter shop with some eat-in tables. You order at the counter, take a tray, and eat there. The baguette is a plain, old-fashioned one, fine for an everyday sandwich.
Prices are reasonable for the location. A croissant set with coffee is around €3, a chocolate croissant €1.80, a fougasse €4.20. Come early: the doors open at 6:30 am on weekdays. Sunday is shorter, 8 am to 6 pm.
Come for the croissants and sandwiches at a fair price near the tower.
