Carette

Carette – Place des Vosges A beautiful spot tucked under the arcades of Place des Vosges. The setting is classic Paris: elegant, historic, and ideal for people-watching. The Paris-Brest dessert was rich and indulgent without being too heavy. Their hot chocolate is a must-try: thick, velvety, and topped with generous chantilly cream. Yes, it’s on the pricier side (€44 for lunch), but the location and quality make it worthwhile. Service was friendly and efficient, even during busy hours. Great for a relaxed lunch or a sweet afternoon break. 🏰 Historic Origins Place des Vosges, originally called Place Royale, is the oldest planned square in Paris, built between 1605 and 1612 under the reign of King Henri IV. It was inaugurated with a grand celebration for the wedding of Louis XIII and Anne of Austria. The square was revolutionary for its time: all façades were built in a uniform style—red brick with white stone trim, topped by steep slate roofs—creating a harmonious architectural ensemble that still stuns today. Before its construction, the site was home to the Hôtel des Tournelles, a medieval palace demolished by Catherine de' Medici after her husband Henri II died there in a jousting accident. --- 🎨 Cultural Significance In the 17th and 18th centuries, Place des Vosges was the address of choice for Parisian nobility. It was exclusive—access to the gardens was once restricted to just one day a year, August 25th, the feast of Saint Louis. Over time, it became a hub for artists and intellectuals. Victor Hugo, author of Les Misérables, lived at No. 6, now a museum dedicated to his life and work. --- 🌳 Surroundings & Today’s Charm Place des Vosges sits in the heart of the Marais district, straddling the 3rd and 4th arrondissements. It’s surrounded by: - Elegant arcades housing cafés (like Carette!), art galleries, and boutiques - Victor Hugo’s house, now a museum - Rue des Francs-Bourgeois, a lively shopping street - Picasso Museum, just a short walk away - Jewish Quarter, with historic synagogues and delicious falafel spots - Tranquil gardens, perfect for lounging under the linden trees It’s not just a square—it’s a portal into Paris’s layered past, wrapped in timeless beauty. 🕰️ Best enjoyed on the terrace when the weather’s nice! Its recommended to visit and sit there, enjoy the view, food and people.

Stop by this location because we were in the area and it tends to be less busy. We only order the hot chocolate since they don't have any more pastry but we were not ready for dinner. It was rich with plenty of whipped cream. Delicious I just don't know that I would do it again. It was $12 for one person with the whipped cream. It was enough to definitely have at least two cups per person.

I really enjoyed my time here at this cafe. I came around 9am and the sun was golden, the food was fresh, the crowd was less. It felt special. Loved everything and the eggs, what do they do to them because dang, delicious! Coffee too! Hot chocolate was good just not a huge fan of chocolate or can eat that much in one setting but it was good! & always happy about a fresh orange juice. Loved the experience! Coming back!

Everything was great . Waiters are a bit pushy trying to get you to order more things but the service otherwise was good . Eggs , hot chocolate . Whipped cream , crepe , club sandwich croissants all very good .

We decided to try the Hot Chocolate aka Chocolate Carette avec de la Chantilly, Pistachio Cake and a glass of chardonnay. The hot chocolate was rich and creamy but the best part was just the whip cream. It seemed a little over hyped. The cake had good pistachio flavor but seemed a little lacking in presentation. I added my whip cream to it. The chardonnay was a wine. The service was good. I recommend checking the bakery inside before ordering from the menu.

We were here since 240pm and was only served at 320pm. I approached two staff and both didnt bother to help. The third staff was preddy unhappy and said “ill serve you even-though im not your waiter.” Im abit confuse with his statement. Then he serve our order in less than 10min. There were too many people that came after us but was served first. Preddy unhappy about it and such a waste of time. But after trying the hot chocolate - which was AMAZING, im contemplating if its worth to be treated like that. And its also pricey. Not coming again. Once is good enough. Feel like i owe them something. We ordered hot chocolate, some macarons and ice coffee. They were all amazing.

During a recent family trip to Paris, we decided to visit Carette after a friend recommended it. We arrived around 10am and, unsurprisingly, found a long line of people waiting to get in. After about 20 minutes, we made it to the front and were asked about our seating preference. Though we would have loved to sit on the picturesque terrace, we opted for indoor seating to avoid a longer wait. Unfortunately, things started going downhill from the moment we were introduced to our waiter. While I understand that working in the service industry isn’t always easy—having worked in it myself—there’s a basic standard of professionalism that was sorely lacking. Our server, along with several other staff members, was noticeably rude and dismissive. It felt like our presence was more of an inconvenience than anything else. We ordered the Petit Déjeuner Carette, which included a café au lait, orange juice, a croissant, and a slice of bread with jam. We also shared a toast Carette with ham, scrambled eggs with herbs, and a quiche Lorraine. To drink, we had a regular hot chocolate and a Carette hot chocolate with whipped cream. When our server asked if we’d like fresh berries with the latter, I said yes. The food itself was quite good—the pastries were flaky, the eggs were well-seasoned, and the hot chocolate was delightfully rich. But no quality of food can compensate for the poor service. At one point, our server literally walked away mid-order without a word, then returned and continued taking it as if nothing had happened. No apology, no acknowledgment—just blatant disrespect. On top of that, the fresh berries we ordered were never brought out. We only noticed the charge on our receipt at the end and had to request a correction. Final verdict: Carette has the look and feel of a classic Parisian café, and the food is certainly decent. But for the price and the frustrating service, it simply wasn’t worth it. If you’re looking for a cute photo-op or checking off tourist spots, it might be worth a quick visit—but if you value warm, respectful service, my family and I would recommend going elsewhere.

Carette is apparently known for its croissants and hot chocolate. Unfortunately, the croissants were sold out, so we went for breakfast instead, and I can assure you it tasted completely normal. I could have eaten this anywhere, so that wasn’t really a problem. What was a problem is that we had to wait in line for half an hour and ended up paying almost three times the usual price purely for the vibe and it was definitely not worth it. The omelet was exactly the same as what I’ve had elsewhere. What I found really strange was that my cappuccino tasted awful exactly like the machine coffee you get at Belgian highway rest stops. Same taste, really unpleasant. The fries, pancakes, ice cream, and hot chocolate were nothing special at all. The funny thing is that at their other location it’s much cheaper 🙃. I definitely wouldn’t recommend coming here it’s purely about the vibe, and honestly, it’s empty hype.

Crazy Busy! Get here early and I mean when they open if you want a seat. On weekends we like to sit outside before the tourists wake up hungry. Great breakfast!

Cuaud Chocolat is what my wife has been obsessed with... Chaud Chocolat she wanted it now that we are in Paris!! So like a good husband I take her to her top choice for Chaid Chocolat. 2 orders of Chaud Chocolat and 1 pain de chocolat was our order... Our waiter comes with a large dispenser for us and the largest whip cream holder ever and pours us both a glass before walking away, leaving the whip cream to our leisure... Away we go scooping and placing the whip cream in the Chocolat stir and taste!!! At first taste the thickness of the Chocolat is not like back home but man the sweetness was perfect and the homemade whip cream is delicious beyond words.. 3 cups later like Chaud the Chocolat piggys we finished. Now what do we do LOL I guess pay and leave... They are bit pricey at €12.50 per cup but you will not find a better Chaud Chocolat in Paris everyone else seemed a bit watered down. My recommendation is spend the money and enjoy the best Hot Chocolate ever!!!!

Food: 4/5 Service: 4/5 Ambiance: 4/5 I had to try this famous hot chocolate spot at least once. I arrived super early by local standards and ordered hot chocolate with whipped cream on the side, along with fried eggs and ham. I've tried a few highly rated hot chocolate places in town, and this one ranks among my top three. While I won't factor in the price when rating it, I can say the experience was worth it. I'd come back again, but this wouldn't be my go-to spot for hot chocolate.

My fiancé and I had the best hot chocolate of our lives here. It was thick, but not too thick even with the whipped cream. My fiancé got the cappuccino, and he loved it as well. The line does get long, but it goes by fairly quick. Make sure to come early if you don't wanna wait. We were also seated outdoors per our request, which we loved because we had a direct view of Place des Vosges. Overall, it was worth the wait.

Of course we came here to try their hot chocolate, as it was right down the street from our airbnb. We got two hot chocolates, a crepe and a croissant. Hot chocolate was very nice especially with the cream so the chocolate flavor is not too strong. The croissant and crepe were nice. The food was expensive but that's what you get when you go somewhere that's trending. If I remember correctly, it was $12 for one hot chocolate but you get a pitcher with more hot chocolate so it's not just one cup at that price. Was definitely worth it though. The service was alright, we sat there a while waiting for the waitress. After we got our order in we got our drinks and food quick. The ambiance was nice, you sit pretty close to people but that's typical in European countries. The street wasn't too busy (~9am) and not too many people walking on the sidewalk.

Located in a very nice area in the 3rd circle of Paris. Beautiful park across the street to have an idea of what family life is in Paris. We ordered some traditional French dishes with mixed results. The Pattee was delicious, well balanced and silky. The onion soup was well presented, the cheese melted but the broth was a bit bland which I fixed with a little pepper. And beef bourguignon was just ok. The meat was tough for a dish that is supposed to be very tender and they added broccoli which it is not part of the dish. Overall a good experience with good service.

Ridiculously overpriced coffee and macaroons! While the ambiance is pleasant and offers a French and Parisian experience like the cliches we tourists look for, the quality is very standard, nothing to justify €15 for 4 small macaroons, and a €12 cappuccino (they call it double, but nothing double about it). I would pass.

You can tell how thick this hot chocolate is by the pour. It was THICC and rich and the whipped cream was light but sweet. It balanced out the rich chocolate. This place was right outside of the Eiffel Tower. We came at night to watch the tower sparkle 10/10 experience and 10/10 hot chocolate.

This review is just for the hot chocolate and the service. Super disappointed. Paid 20 euros for a cup of hot chocolate and a crepe-so understandingly underwhelmed with what we got. Lookswise, it looks pretty enough with the mounds of whipped cream served but taste wise Angelina's wins hands down. The Carette version was very watery and not chocolatey enough. The cream is sweetened and so makes the whole drink too sweet. Crepe was ok but pricey. Service was super iffy. Some Asian dude who just did not want to serve us-maybe he wanted to close early since it was raining. Right from the entrance, he seemed reluctant but I was determined to try. He did say its 1 dish per person so we got the crepe even though I just wanted the hot chocolate and my husband nothing.

Who knew a plate of scrambled eggs can be that good? This restaurant is really popular and I had an amazing and filling meal here. Thankfully, when we arrived there wasn't a line but still had to wait about 5 mins. A line quickly formed behind us - we got lucky! I ordered the scrambled eggs with ham and it was delicious. It was cooked to perfection and it was so creamy. They ran out of croissants so I had to settle for the chocolate pastry roll. It was still good. I also wanted to try the onion soup so I got that as well to share. And of course I had to order the hot chocolate. It is a must! It's so rich and chocolately. It wasn't too sweet and was perfect with the cream that it came with. Don't miss out on trying Carette when in Paris. :)

What is a trip to Paris without some hot chocolate? I visited Carette for this reason but I also had some food that was quite tasty. I stopped by right when it opened on Sunday morning because I wasn't sure if it was going to be busy. There were a few parties but we were seated right away. I recommend sitting outside because there's a nice park in front of the restaurant so there's a good calm vibe out there. The hot chocolate was perfect. They bring it to you in a container and pour it out in front of you. You can probably get two cups of hot chocolate from that container but it's for a single person. They won't give you two cups to share it even though it's totally shareable. It comes with fresh crème and it's a must to mix in there. I was very pleased with my very first Parisian hot chocolate. Make sure to order a croissant to dip in there. I also had the quiche lorraine which has egg and bacon. It was the perfect savory item to balance out the sweet hot chocolate. My husband had a crepe with honey that he enjoyed. The honey came in a small personal glass jar, which was a cute touch.

Love everything about this Cafe. The warm velvet hot chocolate is a must. Service was great she was very sweet and attentive. Croissants are delicious dumping into your hot chocolate! Please visit in Paris!

Loved that I could get a hot chocolate and delicious French pastries 9 pm at night from Carette! I was staying in a hotel not too far from here, so when the late night munchies hit around 8:30, I looked for patisseries that were still open nearby and to my surprise, came across Carette. My friend and I made it by 9 and opted to sit outside as it was a nice day out. There was no wait this late at night. They have a full menu of food and drinks, but I knew what I was here for... the hot chocolate and some pastries! The hot chocolate with whipped cream (chocolat Carette) is the popular thing to get here, but because it was late night, I opted to skip the whipped cream and got just the regular hot chocolate for $10. Our server also went over the pastries they had left, and one of their monthly pastries sounded amazing with strawberry cream, so I got that. I really enjoyed both my drink and the pastry. The hot chocolate tasted very rich and chocolate-y and wasn't nearly as thick as the hot chocolate from Angelina. I preferred this hot chocolate more as it felt like an actual drink. The portion is pretty large too, definitely enough for two people to share. The strawberry cream pastry (called chou hibiscus according to my receipt) was really good as well. The cream inside went well with the strawberry jam and the breaded section. It was light and perfect for a late night snack! My friend got a tea called the blanc and enjoyed sipping away at it.

Came here for the famous hot chocolate and it was worth the visit! Super rich in flavor and the whipped cream was a plus but definitely wasn't needed honestly, the hot chocolate was great by itself. Their croissants and sweets were yummy as well and there was only a little bit of a wait when walking in

After waiting on the line for about 45 mins. We were seated in the front and we ordered the hot chocolate and a croissant. And both were delicious. However, the restroom was the most disgusting thing I have ever experienced. I will save you from the mess I've seen and smelled. The staff I was in no hurry to clean up the mess either. I still have nightmares and I'm from NYC the land of disgusting public bathrooms .

The croissants and juice were fresh and oh so good. We were on our way to the Lourve and decided to stop here for breakfast before an art filled morning. So quaint yet so upscale but that's the beauty of Paris!

This place is so popular. It's in Place des Vosges. It's really busy but you can just get some snacks to go and sit in the park. The chicken sandwich was good. The small one has no bacon. The eclair was good, too. Very nice place!

Great place to get macarons and wind down at the park! Service was quick and pleasant. The surrounding is beautiful and near Victor Hugo's old apartment. This location is in Le Marais and gets easily packed. I suggest getting macarons to go and sit at the park. Plenty of macaron flavors to choose from. I had the salted caramel, pistachio, cherry, and something tangy like lemon. The Viennese coffee was just ok. Would definitely go back for macarons!

Went for brunch and they exceeded my expectations. I had the brunch fixed menu which included a hot drink, fresh juice, pastry, toast, scrambled eggs, and a roll. So lots of bread, but if you're in Paris, do as the Parisians! I had the cappuccino, pain au chocolat, and grapefruit juice for my choices. The pain au chocolat was divine, cappuccino perfect, and the scrambled eggs were rich, creamy, so good! Also, the portion was so large you could really share this between 2 people and order another cappuccino. I kept thinking about this meal all day. So, I took my husband the next day for lunch. He had the Entrecôte angus (steak), fries, and green beans. I had Filet de bar ( fish) with veggies and a pesto sauce. The portions are huge and price very reasonable. Everything seasoned well and cooked well. For dessert, we had the Saint honoré, a mini Pate Chou. So so good! Crispy caramel, light puff, light cream. I want this dessert again. We also ordered macarons which were good, but were slightly on the crispy side- could be chewier. Overall, I would go back if I had more time in Paris. If you pure looking for nice casual ambiance, courteous service, reasonable prices, large portions, delicious food, this is the place.

We came on a Friday at 10:00am and there was no wait at all. We were seated on the patio. It took awhile to order but we finally got our order of 1 ham sandwich (4,30)1 smoked salmon sandwich (5.80), a croissant (4,00), and 2 hot chocolate carette (12,00) (which came with whipping cream). The hot chocolate was rich and thick. A bit too sweet but the heaps of whipping cream helped. The finger sandwiches were okay. Nothing amazing. The croissant was okay - nothing memorable. The service was friendly and nice but a little bit slow. For the price, for me it wasn't worth it. The food itself was mediocre overall. People come here mostly for the ambiance but even that wasn't that great. This place is mostly for tourists. I would recommend to avoid at all costs.

My sister & I came on a Thursday afternoon. We ordered soup. All very delicious! Comes with baguette bread. Great service & the ambience is classy & casual.

The hot chocolate is good but not sure if I will wait in a long line, luckily, the evening we came is not that busy. We also ordered some finger sandwiches and those were just ok. Overall, I will only come for the chocolate if I am around the area, but won't make a specific stop here. You might able to find hot chocolate somewhere else.

My wife has followed Carette on Instagram so we knew it was going to be good. It was excellent! We were there for a small bite in between tours and we are certainly happy we stopped by. First, the neighborhood where Carrette is located is very pleasant with a park across the street full people enjoying the weather in Paris. The staff welcomed us and sat us quickly next to a young lady finishing her dinner (late lunch?). We ordered a dessert (a pastry with hazelnut cream) and three finger sandwiches (ham and tuna)- they ran out of chicken finger sandwiches, unfortunately. Everything was first rate and delicious. The tuna can be a hit or real miss and it was scrumptious. The hazelnut dessert was great. Our waiter was very nice and his English was far better than our French. We will be back! As for the nice young lady we sat next to: she turned out to be an American living in Paris. She was so very kind to us all and we appreciated her taking the time to converse with us about her time in Paris. To say the least, she was very impressive and humble at the same time which is unique. Enchante!

carette is just like every other overhyped, tourist trappy place in the world - it's over crowded, too expensive, and the food is just ok. at least i got some good insta pics out of it almost makes up for the overstimulation i felt crowded up against so many people while trying to drink the most mid €8 hot chocolate. eclair was pretty good though

Great hot chocolate and biscuits. The hot chocolate was very rich. One order of the hot chocolate was enough for three people. The service was good and accommodating. The interiors were very nice. I recommend this plac

Stopped in for an afternoon snack before an appointment, luckily just as the rain started. Ordered the famous hot chocolate, 10/10 as expected, an order of fries and the ham & cheese sandwich. With a side of mayo, some salt and pepper, those fries were out of this world! Mayo with with sandwich was 10/10 as well! Skip the hyped Trocadéro location if you're not needing pics for your social media, come here to get in fast and eat yummy food!

Right across Place des Voges, Carette has an extensive menu. But what you're really coming here for is their Chocolat "Cadette" - thick, semi-sweet, semi-bitter, truly decadent, especially with the chantilly cream. So, are you Team Angelina or Team Carette?

Found this place on TikTok and it was so good I went twice. The service was amazing. The atmosphere was perfect , right across from a beautiful park. The quiche was delicious as well. I will come back, mark my words.

Fast to get a seating outside. The waiter knew we came for the pastries and chocolat chaud (a hefty 12 euros ~ 13 USD). The menu was a bit confusing and the specials across the walls of the interior and exterior weren't on the menu. (Missed out on some dishes we would have tried). The hot chocolate was great, however, it is something I would experience once with this price tag. Additionally, I wish the croissant was heated up. Super cute spot near a gorgeous park!

Worst service I've experienced in Europe. The waiter was incredibly rude to us (feels racially motivated) If you're asian, consider not dining at this location.

My favorite fancy tearoom in Paris! One of the best places for millefeuille in Paris and also a good spot for simple but fancy classic French lunch meals. We tried their onion soup as well as their version of the croque-monsieur. It was really good and perfect portions. They also offer a real good brunch formula (31 euros) on a daily basis. Also, their terrace under the arcade with a view on place des Vosges is really lovely

Yes yea yes to Carette's hot chocolate with the cream on the side and add as desired. Not overly sweet just perfect. The hype is real this place is great and the service is friendly, down to earth ambience not pretentious like other similar places on the area. We tried them all and my hot chocolate obsess big kid preferred Carette over the others.

Another must in Paris. Great hot chocolate and food!! The only place we stood in line for. The line was long but quick.

Service was kind & surprisingly quick given French culture. The eggs with ham were life changing. How is that little chive and puff pastry so fresh?! The eggs were incredibly airy and light, never had any on that level. Tea came hot and was delicious. Only didnt like the teapot set up since it didnt allow for me to remove the leaf basket, resulting in over-steeped tea at a certain point. My wife still talks about these eggs.

The hot chocolate definitely is very good, but it is so rich that you need a cup of milk with it. The croissant was also very good. There are 1 million other places for hot chocolate, so I would never wait in that line. We just cut the line and got in, but if we didn't cut the line I wouldn't of went.

This place was so good! There was a line but it went by fairly quickly. The manager kept the line moving and the servers spoke English which was great for us since our French is definitely not great past hello goodbye and thank you. Like most places in Paris the tables are very close together and the seating is indoor and outdoor. The food was good as well and came out quickly. We went two separate times and had the hot chocolate, a chicken sandwich, macarons and probably the most delicious pastry I've ever had in my life! We'll be returning to Paris in February and I would definitely go again!

Listen. I went here to get hot chocolate because I saw it on social media. I'm not ashamed (okay, maybe just a little) but, as Edith Piaf says- je ne regrette rien. The beautiful silver pot came with two cups of chocolate, and of course a huge goblet of whipped cream. I probably should have gotten something savory, or at least a croissant - but I also got a kouign amman since we were about to leave Paris and I hadn't gotten one yet. It was the most buttery, sugary, caramelized, delicious pastry I've ever had in my life. I couldn't even finish it and definitely committed a faux pas by walking away with half of it in my pocket- but it was a perfect snack that afternoon. I've never felt such a sugar rush and immediate crash as I have that day- and I'd do it all again. If you're on the French about a 12€ cup of hot chocolate- please just do it and never look back!

I literally traveled to Paris just to dine at this café and try the famous hot chocolate. Totally worth it! The pastries we had were divine. The crepes were not our favorite, but once we added sugar and a little whipped cream it wasn't bad at all. But the hot chocolate was the star of the show! It was incredible!!! So chocolatey, creamy and smooth. Worth the trip. The staff wasn't the friendliest But we did fine there twice so all is good.

Did you know!? There's a scene of Emily in Paris that took place at the jardin across the street. Whenever I see the scene, I squeal because Carette is RIGHT THERE! Carette has easily become my favorite brunch spot in Paris! Especially this location. It has a nice view of the jardin and is nestled under the arched building. I recommend dining out when the weather is nice. It's beautiful. I some how discovered Carette during my first trip in Paris. Something about the scrambled eggs caught my eye. And the rest has been history. Hubby and I have been dining here multiple times throughout our many trips to Paris for brunch and occasionally some tea! What we order: + Scrambled "Oeufs" Eggs with ham & cheese: this plate is very fulfilling and the hubby has always had to help me finish it (hint: share this plate!). These eggs are on the wet side which are light and fluffy! I like spreading the eggs along some complimentary bread and butter which is delicious! + Croque Monsieur/Madame: it's the prettiest ham & cheese sandwich I've ever had. It's delicious but the only con (due to preference) is that the bread is on the sweeter side. I like my croques on a sourdough slice. With that said, I have eaten this dish on multiple occasions. Hubby also enjoyed his. + Pastries! Plain croissants, pain au chocolat, macarons,... etc. They're all worth trying out! + Ceylon The: A fragrant ceylon tea which makes for a nice cup(s) of warm goodness! I always request a side of cream. On two different occasions, they have given me regular milk (or maybe it was cream?) and a mountain of chantilly cream which went best with my tea. Service here is usually a hit. Some of the servers can be a little snooty when they feel like they need to speak English but I haven't had any issues with my French speaking hubby around. All the food is served exceptionally. It's on the pricier side for brunch and tea but it's worth it for the entire experience. Cheers!

I came here years ago and ate outside in the sun the most wonderful salad ever! This time i returned but it was freezing so I ate inside. There was a small wait but the staff was very friendly and three of the waiters greeted me and said hello despite the fact that it was very busy! I only had an onion soup but it was very good! The desserts look amazing! I was full but id i had not been i would totally have some! There was also a place to hang hats and coats! Unfortunately no internet: one star less for that because in Paris this would be appreciated !

Honestly, if you're not here to take pictures of fancy chocolat chaud with creme and a croissant, why bother? There is a bit of a line to get in but it goes by fairly quickly. Once seated, I immediately ordered the Chocolat Carette and a croissant and received my offerings faily quickly as well. The chocolat was of course, delightful. Not extremely sweet and richer than American hot chocolate. There is plenty of creme offered and gives the chocolat that little something something that makes it extravagant. You can sip and savor on a carafe while people watching (not so much Eiffel Tower watching since there's a building blocking it...). The croissant is good as well. Flaky, a bit crisp, with a tender and airy interior. I mean, its hard to find a bad croissant in Paris, but its good to know that Carette has a good offering. Overall was it best Paris had to offer? No but, for a good chocolat chaud and Instagram clout, I would recommend Carette!

Right on the Plage des Vosges, we went here at least 4 or 5 times for a light breakfast before heading out for the day. Honestly, we saw no reason to try and find a different morning café; it was perfect in every way. Almost every morning (several hours before breakfast), I'd also stop in for coffees and perhaps a croissant to go. The only cavaet is, it's not particularly cheap, but nothing in Marais is.

This place was HEAVEN! We were seated quickly, and our server was very friendly! We ordered the Hot Chocolat with whipped cream, Croissant, Pan Au Chocolate, Eclair and Paris Carette. The hot chocolate was creamy, not too sweet and they offer a huge serving of whipped cream. The croissant and eclair were delicious... BUT the PARIS CARETTE was just amazing! It was fluffy, creamy and delicious! I recommend coming in before 9am to avoid wait lines.

This is our favorite breakfast spot while staying in Le Marais. The pastries, breads and eggs are all fantastic. Always five star service. Very nice area adjacent to Hotel De Sully.

Absolutely worth the hype! I was seated quickly despite the long line, and my waiter was patient when taking my order as I fumbled through my messy French. I came here for the hot chocolate, which you MUST get with whipped cream. It was decadent and rich without being too overwhelming. I also had the French onion soup, which was the perfect balance to the sweet drink. It was savory, with a magnificent cheese pull that I'll be dreaming about until I'm back for more.

The line was long but went quick. Although the price of hot chocolate was over priced. It was €12 for one class of hot chocolate. We checked it out because it was popular on TikTok but for the aesthetic I would say it was worth it and I would give it a try at least once. & everything tasted delicious!

Came to this place because of TikTok. One of the better hot Chocolates I've tried. I'd say it's still rich and creamy but not as thing and deep as the hot chocolate as Angelina's. I can go through a hot chocolate here and not feel gross or full after. Place was packed but service is fast. I'd return.

LOVE LOVE LOVED this place as I dined for breakfast on a Sunday morning in Paris! I was very happy I opted out of breakfast at the hotel that morning. I found this place the morning before as I was heading to get some fresh baked bread at a boulangerie near my hotel. I walked by this place and something struck my eye, may have been the cute tables and cafe style right across a beautiful garden, so I had to look it up and see if it was a place worth trying. The pictured looked amazing so I decided to move some plans around and have breakfast at Carette the next morning, and I was glad I did! It is quite a pricey breakfast, but it was so worth it, especially sitting right across from Place des Vosges, which I recommend strolling through after breakfast. I chose to have the full meal which was about 39 Euros. It came with a really good and flakey croissant, fresh squeezed juice, cappuccino, toast, jam, butter, and soft scrambled eggs. I added ham for an additional cost. Service was great! The waitress spoke English and they have menus in English. Highly recommend this place for breakfast. This will definitely be a place I come to often when I visit Paris and recommend to many.

Amazing restaurant, specially for breakfast. Centrally located. Service was fast and friendly. Loved the style and decor. The food was great, freshly squeezed juices and a hot chocolate to die for!
