Boulangerie - Pâtisserie - Confiserie "Brier"

We came to this patisserie when we first arrived Lille. The cafe has a good variety of pastries, cakes & brioche. We tried a couple of pastries & found a lot of locals had slices of brioche bread with jam & cream. The pastries were decent though nothing spectacular. I must also warn against coffees as they are not what a serious coffee lover would expect.

Delicious. There are two doors. The main door is for choosing things to take away. There's a second, smaller door where you can go in and sit and order coffee and pastries as well as other specials. The menu was written on a black board on the wall. A great place to stop in and have a break.

We only had coffee and croissants. The croissants are wonderful, are light and tasty. Can't wait to come back to Lille and try more pastries in this boulangerie.

Very cute bakery with a place to sit and enjoy your coffee and some lunch or desserts. Service was fast and polite. Would visit again if I am in town.

Very nice bakery. One door for queueing for take out. Other door (next to seating) for table service.

Nice informal place with lovely food. (The pain au chocolat was amazing.)

Lovely traditional food. Friendly staff.

A nice place to have pastries in Lille. To sit in the prices of the cakes are a lot more than to take out, still very nice but be careful. The tea was 5 euros each, however I cannot fault the food, the cheesecake was my favourite!

Gorgeous bakery! This is a beatiful bakery with goreous window displays, a comfortable dining area and lovely friendly staff. We wanted to try Le Mervilleux (the marvellous) but by the time we arrived at the bakery, all the chocolate ones were gone so we had to settle for one dusted with speculoos crumbs. The young man who waited on us told us it was his favourite - and he was right - it was just amaaaaaaaazing!!

Very nice place for a little lunch. We stopped by a little after 1:30 and almost all of the savory choices were already sold out. It was ok because we knew we wanted a quiche. There was a choice among three and we selected the Quiche Lorraine with jambon. It was huge and perfectly cooked the filling was so moist and tender. Not a bite was left. We also got a Apple Tart type thing that had a layer of custard that was to die for. Service was great. There was seating for about 22 or so and very comfortable. Quiche, apple tart and two drinks was $18. Very reasonable and highly recommend.
