"Boulangerie Utopie just took top prize for the best baguette in Paris, but their out-of-the-box approach has had locals lining up here for years. Croissant dough is contorted into chocolate-filled flowers and tartlets stuffed with rice pudding, and sesame is everywhere—the sourdough baguette colored with charcoal adds a monochrome flair to any dinner table, while the éclair delivers nutty, just-sweet-enough flavor. On weekends, bakers take a page out of Willy Wonka’s playbook with ever-changing viennoiserie, pastry, and bread “du weekend,” each one zanier than the next. (Who else would imagine baking a strawberry-stuffed madeleine into a croissant?) Check Instagram to suss out what’s on offer—and hope it’s something with their delicious house praline." - sara lieberman, emily monaco

"Don’t be alarmed by the sheer volume of pastries, viennoiserie, and breads on offer at Boulangerie Utopie. Take your time to pick the treats that appeal to you most. Maybe it’s the tangy and sweet sourdough croissant, or the thyme and lemon cheesecake on a sable base. Or maybe you’re more interested in the banana mille-feuille. You can’t go wrong no matter what you choose. Just remember to grab a loaf of bread for the road — it’s also very good, of course. Located in the 11th arrondissement." - Dayna Evans
