- Debs DebsSeptember 18, 2016Aside from their world-renowned breads, try to head over there around 5pm to get still-warm-from-the-oven apple tarts and a slice of flan which are both the absolute best in the world!
- Kate GoldMarch 31, 2014Bread, gray salt, chocolate croissants, butter cookies and their daily pastry/tart. Gorgeous bread knives (Specify whether you want a right- or left-handed one). Not open on Sundays. Get there early.
- Elizaveta T.August 12, 2015Tarte aux pommes is the best thing that can happen to you in Paris. I also love their gingerbread cake, tastes awesome with butter and tea...
- S Marks The SpotsMay 22, 2013The best bread in Paris based on a secret family recipe. Try their signature loaf, also known as miche or pain au levain, and the famous “punitions”, shortbread cookies that melt in your mouth. Read more
- David BanMay 21, 2014Famous for their massive sourdough loaves, which are luckily available by the slice ("tranche"). Pain Chocolat is also extremely good.
- RosalineFebruary 5, 2015I cannot say enough good things about Poilâne. Not a ton of pastries in the Cherche-Midi shop but what they serve, they do v well. Tartes aux pommes had me salivating after every bite. GO!
- Alan SmitheeOctober 26, 2016Hier gibt es lecker Brot! Le petit déjeuner. One of the best classic bakeries in Paris. Old secret recipe. No preservatives. Snacks. 🍞🍪👌

- New York HabitatFebruary 25, 2014As you step into this bakery, you would notice that the sourdough bread is commonly used here. This bakery also offers some excellent pastries.
- Jonathan GoldbergAugust 31, 2017Great place for breakfast (they have a coffee place next door). Their croissant is perfect
- Joanna FlammOctober 9, 2012Best croissants. No competition. No seating here for retail (though there is a sit down restaurant) so get your pain au chocolat and take it to a nearby park.
- Tobias GrönbergSeptember 9, 2014One of the best and most classic bakery in Paris. They use old techniques and no preservatives which really make their rustique products shine.
- Samantha SchwartzNovember 10, 2016Literally some of the most highly sought after bread in the world...and for good reason! This is just 1 of many locations across Paris.
- Chris EvansDecember 2, 2016Nice small and very French. But no where near as good as all the reviews. I am sorry but I have had better croissants from supermarkets!
- New York HabitatMarch 29, 2012When in Paris.. you are simply obligated to try the famous croissants and pain au chocolat at least once. And trust us; this is the place to do it!
- Katrina StreichDecember 23, 2014Amazing pain au chocolat, delicious tartelettes aux pommes, and the flakiest croissants

- StyleiteJuly 5, 2011Head over to Poilane for one of the city’s (and the world’s) most famous pain au chocolat. While you’re there, grab some bread, a raisin bun, and basically whatever else you can get your hands on.
- Jana BeranovaJuly 12, 2016Apparently one of the best croissants in the town. Very packed, not able to speak in english. Pastry was nice but could be more fre

- Melon LSeptember 9, 2015A must visit for bread lovers. Try anything - it'll still be better than anything you'll have Stateside.
- Elizabeth LeeNovember 28, 2014Crossiants and punitions are a must-buy. So is their special miche. Look out for their bread chandelier at the back.
- Ronni TinoApril 9, 2014No dining at the bakery, but brunch on Sundays at Cuisine de Bar right next door.
- ChrisNovember 3, 2014Croissant and pain du chocolat are worth a try if you are int the area. Fair price.
- Ryan LeeJune 27, 2013The croissants here are a delicacy. I'm also not a big fan of apple deserts but the tart is amazing.
- Sofia PapastamelosFebruary 18, 2019Probably best for getting a loaf of bread as opposed to a pastry. No place to sit here.
- Jeremy KrantzFebruary 3, 2016Get their bread. It's their claim to fame and the recipe has been in their family for many generations
- Jason LeibowitzAugust 18, 2011Great fresh bread, but they don't carry baguettes. Be sure to try the raisin bread though.
- Thibault C.February 23, 2016Quite expensive but good boulangerie. Nothing compare with all the crap you can find around..
