"Since Mr. Vasseur relaunched the bakery in 2002, it's acquired a cult following for its bread—try the thick-crusted pain des amis—and fluffy, crispy-tailed croissants. They're what the French would call une tuerie (absolutely fantastic)."

"I’m grateful to have been introduced to the pistachio-chocolate escargot (pictured above) because it not only rocked my taste buds but confirmed that my memories of Danish fetching as a child were completely and joyfully real."

Kaitlin Orr

"We absolutely loved their pain au chocolat – so many layers of pastry, perfectly baked, and filled with a delicious semisweet chocolate."

"Order a tradition, which stays fresh longer than an ordinary baguette. Standout bakeries include Du Pain et Des Idées."

Gilles Pudlowski

"The baguettes or a Parisian strings give you great moments, even when they are willingly very well baked."

Laura Hartley

"In the end I went for praline and I actually could not believe how tasty it was! It’s a perfect twist of sweet, nutty and sticky goodness."

"The various escargots, with flavors that change with the seasons, always present a delicious dilemma."

Cindy Wang

"L’escargot chocolat pistache chocolate pistachio snail. Crunchy, crispy, flaky layers wrapping pistachio paste and chocolate chips. Oh, my gosh, too good to be true. If only the pistachio flavor were even more prominent…"

"Next up was the Pain au Chocolat et Banane. It was definitely the best pain au chocolat I’ve ever eaten."

"This bakery is one of the best I have ever tried! Using ancient baking techniques and only top quality, organic ingredients, their products are excellent. For the ultimate indulgence, try a pain au chocolat (called chocolatine here)."
