"Renowned for pastries that flake and crumble with perfect texture, this bakery turns a simple morning snack into a small ritual: the croissant that flakes to golden crumbs and the escargot aux pralines roses (brioche with cracked almonds in a pink-sugar shell) are standout items, and the baguettes are so good they often prompt impulse purchases of pâté, charcuterie, or cheese to enjoy along the nearby Canal Saint-Martin." - Alexander Lobrano
