"If you want a croissant from Des Gâteaux et du Pain, get there when they open at 10am—the early wakeup is worth it to avoid crushing disappointment since they invariably sell out. There’s no greasiness here. Instead, the well-done exterior is satisfyingly crunchy, and the yeasty interior reminds us more of brioche than your typical croissant. Save the crispy end for last—caramelization makes it the best bite. The spacious bakery’s picture-ready pâtisseries, arranged like jewels in the pastry case will also grab your attention but zero in on the seasonal chausson with the slightly sweet Provençal almond filling paired with Picardy rhubarb or lemon curd." - emily monaco

"Led by pâtissière Claire Damon after prestigious stints at Fauchon, Ladurée, Le Bristol, and the Plaza Athénée, this shop has attracted an avid following for refined, carefully balanced pastries; signature offerings include Le Kashmir (oranges, dates, vanilla, and saffron) and an acclaimed blackcurrant Mont Blanc." - Alexander Lobrano
"For those in the know, Claire Damon’s shops are an essential part of any pastry tour. Stop by her boulangerie-patisserie for the pomme tatin with maple syrup or the Kashmir, a moist almond cake with notes of saffron, dates, and orange. Located in the 7th arrondissement." - Dayna Evans
"The shop by Claire Damon is celebrated for its apple tart, a classic example of finely arranged fruit and a delicate pastry shell; visitors are encouraged to save room for this dessert and enjoy it with utensils, and the bakery is adept at packaging tarts so they travel well if you choose to take one away." - Monica Burton
