What to buy on Rue d'Hauteville
La Baguette d'Hauteville is an independent specialty shop on Rue d'Hauteville in Canal Saint-Martin, a few minutes from Château d'Eau station. Walk in and the first thing you meet is the pastry case: croissants and pain au chocolat laid out alongside madeleines, cheesecake and a tartine.
Start with the croissant, made on homemade puff pastry, and the pain au chocolat, which comes in an almond version worth asking for by name. The tartine Normand sits beside them as a savory reason to stay. Madeleines come in packets and go down fast; the cheesecake is on the same counter. A bottle of freshly squeezed orange juice is worth taking in the large size if you want it to last the day.
How it works is simple: you order at the counter and take things away, pastries bagged for the street. There are plenty of warm moments at the till, including free extras handed over.
Prices are fair for a Parisian bakery, with a few items landing between €5 and €20 depending on how much you carry out. Nothing here is priced as a tourist trap.
Come for the croissants and chocolate croissants without hesitation, and treat the rest as a bonus. It suits anyone staying near the canal who wants a proper morning pastry rather than a sit-down breakfast.
