"Set an alarm to get a stubby Tapisserie croissant—they sell out fast. If you’re one of the lucky few, grab a stool out front, and revel in the perfection of its shiny shell before taking a bite. Balance is the name of the game at this 11th arrondissement bakery (with several other locations around the city, with a croissant that walks the line between rich and sweet, lightness and crunch: a total crowd-pleaser. If you oversleep, console yourself with a brioche feuilleté stuffed with cocoa-scented praline cream or a palmier with a layer of crisp caramel coating the nut-brown puff pastry. Think of it as brown butter in viennoiserie form." - emily monaco

"This is the first location of two (the second is located in the 7th arrondissement and has more seating) opened by the chef-owners of the impossible-to-book, one-Michelin tasting restaurant Septime, Bertrand Grébaut and Théo Pourriat (as well as Clamato, next door, and Septime Cave, around the corner, neither of which accepts bookings). Once both men started families and had kids, sweets took on an outsized role in their daily lives. They also were fielding constant requests from Clamato clients to sell the seafood wine bar's signature dessert, a maple-syrup tart topped with fresh whipped cream. The small but mighty shop is a must-visit for that tart and plenty of other well-done French classics with a twist. Stock your pantry with their selection of fruits confits, wines, juices, and spreads—and don't miss trying the sweet-and-slightly-herbaceous vanilla grass cream puff." - Lindsey Tramuta
"Run by the same people behind everyone’s favorite Parisian restaurants — Septime and Clamato — Tapisserie in the 11th is worth the visit for the maple tart alone. (The same dessert appears on the menu at Clamato, but here you can give it full attention.) The substantial pate sucree base comes filled with a rich, smooth maple filling. If that doesn’t leave you full, the choux and viennoiserie are all just as delicious." - Dayna Evans, Lindsey Tramuta
