The Best Bakeries & Cafes in Paris

Imagine a picturesque Parisian café, entrez! For hundreds of years bakeries have existed in Paris. A history filled with the first croissant, the perfect baguette, the Parisian macaron, and famed locations listed as historic monuments. From patisseries (specializing in cakes and sweets) and boulangeries (all about bread) to the iconic French café and the café-by-morning-bistro-by-night, read on for a list of the very best bakeries and cafes in Paris!
A quick note before you start scrolling the list. The oldest patisserie in Paris still exists today so be sure to pass by Stohrer if finding the best bakeries in Paris is on your travel itinerary. Founded in 1730 by King Louis XV’s pastry chef Nicolas Stohrer, the shop is still located in it’s original home on rue Montorgueil.
One more history note for one of our all-time favorite bakeries in Paris, Ladurée. Founded in 1862 by Louis-Ernest Ladurée in the luxurious and artistic Madeleine neighborhood, today the brand has locations around the world and is renowned for their legendary tea and macarons.
