Paris' oldest pâtisserie, since 1730, famed for rum baba
"The oldest patisserie in the city and credited with inventing the Baba au Rhum; a bastion of classic French pastries where you can relish traditional items like Paris-Brest, wild strawberry tartlets, and lemon cream tarts, and even purchase babas preserved in jars as boozy souvenirs." - Stacey Ballis
"In Paris, one of the classic traditional treats comes from the oldest patisserie in the city, Stohrer, which has been in operation since 1730 and represents the timeless side of the city’s pastry excellence." - Stacey Ballis
"This legendary bakery on one of the city’s prettiest pedestrian streets is the oldest pastry shop in the city—it opened in 1730 by the former pastry chef to King Louis XV. And if that isn’t a big enough accolade, he also invented rum baba. If that’s not your thing, this patisserie also makes a ton of other traditional baked goods like flan, eclairs, and financiers. During Christmas, their star-shaped spiced cookies make great souvenirs to bring back home." - sara lieberman, emily monaco
"The oldest pâtisserie in Paris, founded in 1730 and credited with creating the baba au rhum; the signature dessert is a yeast-raised cake luxuriously soaked in rum, often served so diners can add extra liquor for maximum boozy satisfaction." - Eleanor Aldridge
"You haven’t lived until you’ve had a kouign-amann from Stohrer, a beautiful bakery in the Second where an array of savory quiches and salads sits across from a pastry case full of sweet delights. Caramelized to a deep amber, with a slight crunch, the kouign-amann is the epitome of pastry. They don’t always have them in stock, though, so defaulting to the choux pastry religieuse or a creamy eclair will still leave you satisfied. Located in the 2nd arrondissement." - Dayna Evans
