While I passed many bakeries on the walk through Montmartre, I am glad I stopped in at Le Grenier á Pain. Upon entering the bakery, I was greeted by the aroma of butter and the sight of neat rows of fresh pastries. I really wanted to try one of everything, but I was determined to try the pain au chocolat, a personal favorite. Le Grenier a Pain's pain au chocolat was much larger and heartier than others I've tried yet retained its buttery-flakiness without feeling too heavy. I really enjoyed the pillowy texture of the pain au chocolat, which included a generous amount of chocolate folded inside. Paired with a cafe au lait, I was in heaven. The bakery is small yet inviting, and there was no seating indoors or outdoors. While I was hoping to enjoy my pastry on-the-go, it started pouring outside, so I was forced to huddle underneath the awning while I consumed my pain au chocolat. While I'd definitley come back for another pain au chocolat, I would also want to sample their savory pastries on my next visit.

- Locale Destination - It's on Rue des Abbesses and Rue Audran, in Montmartre, nearby all the tourist spots. Ambiance: cozy, small Menu: pastries looked good. Coffee Service: friendly Quality: solid Price: € - Gluttony Expedition - Baguette: crispy outside, inside tender, very solid quality baguette! Chocolate croissant: not overly buttery nor too flaky, airy, a bit smaller size, not bad. - Conqueror's Deduction - Solid 4.5 stars. I've had a better one, but good solid quality compared to others in Paris. I definitely come back.

Astoundingly good bakery in Montmartre just downhill from Sacre Couer. It was diagonally across the street from the cafe where we stopped for breakfast. There was a large line stretching out into the street, so we went for take-home to bring back to the hotel for later. It's quaint with no tables but a beautiful setting, helpful counter staff and the best croissants I've ever tasted,

I got ham and cheese in a baguette and it was so fresh. I did feel like it was missing something to make it the best I've ever had. The eclair was also amazing. The staff weren't that friendly but I expected that as an American in France.

Came here right about 15 minutes after they opened and unfortunately they were still taking things out to set up so not everything was out. Was looking forward to something with pistachio but there were none. The staff were all very nice and helped us right when we walked in. Croissant (3.9/5)- light and airy with a great outer crunch. Texture wise it was perfect but I do personally like my croissants slightly more buttery Ham and cheese sandwich (5/5)- the whole walk back to my hotel consisted of me thinking about this decadent sandwich. The saltiness of the ham and creaminess of the cheese together made for the best combo. Who would've thought something so simple could be this great! Raspberry mascarpone eclair (3.3/5)- light and fluffy with a nutty base. Texture of the base wasn't what I expected and was not much to my liking. Overall rating would be a 4.5.

It said that it was one of best croissant in Paris. I only had two croissants in Paris and they both good. It was flaky and buttery. The another pastry was ok. It has peach. Peach was good but without peach mixed in the bite, it was just ok. Service was good.

Looks good and smells good. We grabbed a fresh baguette, mixed nut and dried fruit bread, strawberries pastry, original and pistachio madeleine. Never tried the fresh pistachio madeleine before. It's tasted like a firm small sponge cake, not too sweet. Yum!!! Fresh baguette is the best choice for breakfast, lunch and dinner. You don't need to put anything on it. You still can taste their own baguette flavor, crispy outside and soft inside. You can not stop eating it. It's very tasty. :)

One of the more highly decorated bakeries in Montmatre and very busy with locals. Came here in late afternoon and got a croque monsieur and whole grain mini baguette. Both very delicious. Will have to come here next time for their top-rated baguette and try some other specialties. Very convenient location on the main street and fast & friendly service.

If I were sitting at a café in Montmartre with a group of seven people, each of them would be able to proclaim who has the best croissant, baguette, or overall experience in Paris. While they can argue about it, I have already made my decision. Le Grenier a Paris is my absolute favorite boulangerie for all things bread as well as some pastries. I invite some open discussion on this topic but be prepared to bring the receipts. I visited Le Grenier a Paris each day I was in Paris and each day, they did not disappoint. The service is phenomenal and the baguettes, pain au chocolat, croissants, and the ficelles are in my opinion the best in Paris. The combination of crunchiness, flakiness, and softness with pillowing essence with their croissants and pain au chocolats separates Le Grenier a Paris from the competition. I could eat my weight in Ficelle d'Olives. These very narrow, thin twisty baguettes have black olives and some cheese baked into them. Goodness, they are so delicious. The service from the team behind the counter was friendly and super-efficient, they do not need to take notes, as they can memorize the number of croissants, pain au chocolat, pain du raisin, and any other pastries you made. TIP: On the day of departure, I purchased three croissants, three pans au chocolat, three ficelles, and a pain au raisin. Not only did everything make it through the airport in my bag but the remaining breads were still amazing more than 24 hours later when we presented them to our kids first for their first taste. The ingredients are just that much better than what is found in the US. NOTE: During my stay in Paris, I visited Eric Keyser, Le Pain Quotient, and several other highly-rated boulangeries in Paris.
