French patisserie with meringue, croissants, tarts, and eclairs
























"Opened by French expats, this petite bakery near Dupont Circle specializes in the merveilleux, a meringue cake that originated in Belgium and is common in the north of France. The pistachio Paris-Brest shines just as bright though. Limited indoor seating and outdoor seating. Call for takeout and delivery." - Tierney Plumb

"This Dupont Circle institution has a display case full of homemade brioche, flaky almond croissants, and apple tarts, and everything here tastes as good as it looks. There are limited seats, so your best bet is almost always to take your stuff to go. But if you can snag one, grab a sidewalk table and enjoy a pastry, coffee, and all the people hurriedly trying to catch the next red line train to Glenmont." - tristiana hinton, allison robicelli
"This French patisserie in Dupont Circle has been a staple for years, and we never tire of pursuing the display case full of homemade brioche, flaky almond croissants, and apple tarts. The best part is that everything here tastes as good as it looks. There are limited seats inside so your best bet is almost always to take your stuff to go. But on warmer days, we like to take advantage of the tables that line the sidewalk to enjoy a pastry, coffee, and primo people-watching." - omnia saed, allison robicelli
"This French patisserie on Connecticut Ave has a certain je ne sais quoi about it (did we use that right?). A display case full of beautiful pastries greets you as soon as you walk in the snug space, and homemade brioche, flaky almond croissants, and apple tarts glow under heated lights. The best part is that everything here tastes as good as it looks. There are limited seats inside so you can opt for a to-go order, but on warmer days, we like to take advantage of the tables that line the sidewalk to enjoy a pastry and coffee.
