This boulangerie gave us an unforgettable but absolutely terrible experience, ruining what should have been a pleasant moment in Paris. The woman behind the counter hardly spoke English and behaved in a very rude manner. She insisted that under no circumstances were we allowed to sit outside on the terrace, repeating that all drinks and pastries were “only take away.”
The absurd part was that other people were clearly sitting outside, so we could not understand the problem. Since they refused to give us plates or serve the food “for here,” we had no choice but to order takeaway and sit on the terrace anyway. Then another employee rushed over, pointing at our order and trying to chase us away because, according to her, it was forbidden to sit at their tables with paper cups.
We understand that places may have their own rules, but we repeatedly asked — even begged — to be served properly on plates, and the staff refused. This is the opposite of customer-friendly service. Frankly, it was humiliating and very disappointing.
Shame on this boulangerie. After a long, pointless argument we simply left and found a much better place. Definitely the worst memory we have from Paris.
