Gosselin

I am not sure if i am impressed as much as I thought. Please don’t take me wrong, it is still quite good.
I bought an aubergine pizza/​Bruschetta. It was little too salty and oily. The bread crust was little burnt and very soggy. I wonder if this would have been a different review if the pizza had turned out better.
Didn’t try anything else, so can’t quite say how they are

Nice bakery near the Louvre. I had the chocolate croissant and the apple turnover. Both had excellent fluffy buttery crust with great tasting fillings. Friendly service. To use your credit card you need to spend over 5 €.

Little chain of bakeries. Adorable appearance and great staff, but thought all their pastries cannot compare to most bakeries in Paris
Macaroons — a packet of 6 – 8 all tasted the same. the crunch and air pocket are on point, but the cream in the middle could have been better. texture ⁵⁄₅ but taste/​flavor ²⁄₅
Raspberry fruit tarts — the crust is super dense and the custard is SO fluffy it’s lighter than air. The crust and custard are both good independently, but the two do NOT go well together

Great place to have a delicious pastry. Would definitely recommend. Sometimes in the morning you will see long line but do not be fooled it will go fast very fast. Most of the people in line are locals they know what they gonna get so it goes fast.
Try whatever you desire do not think you would miss ;)

Omg their baguette and croissantare AMAZING. Definitely best in surrounding walkable area

We love this boulangerie. Be careful, it’s closed on Saturdays and some Sundays in August. We like the Ancien Baguettes better than the regular.

passed by this place on way to Metro. Super hot day so we opted for the store-​front gelato. I asked for samples, or «tastes,» and when I got my second one, she said, «C’est tout!» :D So different from US where they give you endless samples.
Anyways, we got the frambois gelato. Tasted very fresh and very much like a raspberry, but it was too sweet for our tastebuds.

Grabbed some sandwiches and a salad for lunch.
Salad had chicken, lentils, green beans, cous cous, tomatoes, artichoke, and lettuce in it. The green beans were really overcooked (or canned?), the chicken was dry, the tomatoes were nice and sweet, and the cous cous was good. Mixed together with dressing the components actually worked together fine. And since it was only about 5 euro (compared to all the other expensive food in 1er area) I think it was fine.
Ham and butter sandwich-​really good. Ham and butter worked well on the perfectly fresh baked baguette. Approx. 4 euro.
Avocado and chicken sandwich– Also with mayo, lettuce, tomato, and hard boiled egg. Again the baguette was very good, but the sandwich was a little bland. Approx. 5 euro.
Can’t speak for any of the desserts but I would say a good place to have a plain baguette if you like to eat them that way. Otherwise, try one with ham.

très bon pain, et gâteaux délicieux

We were staying in this neighborhood on our vacation in Paris and ended up visiting this place every day, on a few days more than once. Fantastic quality and the baked goods are beautiful to look at as well. Croissant perfection.
In the afternoon they also offer takeaway salads, sandwiches and panini in the related shop next door.
You have to go!

The best, best bread in Paris! Go there for lunch on the way or back from Louvre. AMAZING desserts!!!

Je cherchais une boulangerie ou prendre des plats à emporter pour profiter du soleil parisien, tellement rare!
J’ai choisi cette boulangerie en substitution d’une autre qui malheureusement né proposait rien de salé à emporter…
Nous avons pris un sandwich et une salade, trop quelconque pour être bien jugés.
J’y retournerai surement pas, je pense que le quartier propose d’autres boulangeries bien plus sympathiques!

Le pain est bon mais les patisseries sont exceptionnels
J’y vais surtout vers 16h pour les pâtisseries. Le pain est bon mais du bon pain on peut en trouver ailleurs. En revanche, les pâtisseries sont fantastiques. Il y a une myriade d’éclairs de tout les parfums (choco, coco, vanille, pistache !, fraise, violette !, passion). Les crumbles sont excellents surtout celui au fruit rouge (énorme part). Les gâteaux du dimanche sont aussi délicieux. Pour le midi, il propose des sandwich comme on né peut pas l’imaginer. Il propose en effet des pains spéciaux (au poivron par exemple).

The ladies here were super nice as I tried picking between all their delicious desserts. (I wish I came earlier though because by 5pm there were only a few things to pick from.) I ended up going with a classic mille-​feuille and traditional baguette. Both were delicious! Plus, it definitely helped that the ladies were so friendly and even complemented my horrible French. Extra brownie points for that alone.

The croissant is just ok. Try the Julien Boulagerie two blocks down

This is the best bread in the world as noted by Peter Reinhart, f Poilane and the American snit that owns Poilane. THIS is the real deal, made by real Parisians. Seriously, this IS the best baguette and the best bread in the entire world, and I love bread. There are people on The Fresh Loaf (bread baking afficiando site) that travel to Paris just to get THIS BREAD! I want to go back to Paris NOW, and get this baguette! And as of this writing it’s only 60 p for the best bread in the world. You should take a trip to Paris just to have this baguette.

Oui mais
Très bonnes viennoiseries mais les pâtisseries aussi alléchantes soient-​elles sont bonnes mais finalement assez banales. Quant à l’accueil il est vraiment lamentable et le cliché de la serveuse du dimanche matin traînant des pieds, limite soufflant à chaque commande était justement en chair et en os devant nous. Déplorable pour un établissement de cette réputation. Elle a de la chance cette demoiselle de maintenir sa place par les temps qui courent.

Very fresh sandwiches and amazing macarons for a reasonable price. The other pastries looked good, but the bag of assorted macarons looked better. Great place for lunch!

Everything made here is divine!

Our walk from the Louvre to Hotel de Ville on rue St Honoré contained a never ending supply of bakeries and pastry shops. Gosselin was our last stop, and probably the most delightful.
As you can see in the photos, the variety here is just doesn’t stop. A lot of the items are fruit based, which is great once you see how many ways a raspberry can be implemented in a creation. I wanted to try everything, but my wallet and stomach had a limit.
My favorite was the mille feuille with pistache & pramboise (pistachio & raspberry Napoleon). The mix of the two flavors is phenomenal and gives the entire pastry a silky smooth and not too sweet texture. It is just heaven biting through it. I really can’t put into words what it tastes like, but hopefully the photo will give you some idea of just how fabulous it was.

I was passing by and the lure of freshly made macarons brought me inside.
I haven’t tasted any macarons before and was curious to try! A lovely resident (she’s from Iowa studying at the university) helped me out and suggested a few flavors.
Oh, I am so glad I listened to her. I picked up a 5 piece assortment to nibble on later.
When I did, it was love at first bite! It was a bit sweet but the texture and flavor was amazing. I’m sure that there are more amazing places that reknowned for their macarons but I am very grateful to Gosselin Philippe for introducing them to me!

Les fêtes arrivent et les traditionnelles buches de Noël également.
Je teste la buche aux marrons glacés et à l’orange: très fine, subtile et délicate.
Les baguettes tradition sont excellentes

Their traditional baguette (baguette tradition, si vous plait) is at the absolute pinnacle of perfection. I know, I know, I have said similar things about Julien, but I have to admit about Phillipe Gosselin — just wow. With butter — crunchy, soft, flavorful… sigh… Toast it for a little more bite. I’m not changing my feeling about Julien, it was my first love, but still, Gosselin bread is incredible.
These two bakeries (Gosselin and Julien) are located only about 2 blocks apart so you’re never far from bread, quiche, desert, sandwich goodness — they both have it all!
Julien is open on Saturday and Gossalin is open on Sunday — perfect symmetry. Baguette for the day — less than a Euro.
If someone had once told me I would get all emotional over a loaf of bread, well…

Tried their famous baguette ancienne, also had some wonderful tuna salad sandwich. Highly recommended!

Bonne boulangerie
C’est ma boulangerie de quartier, du bon pain, de délicieuses pâtisseries (un crumble ananas exquis), un service rapide (rue St Honoré), bref, très bien. En revanche, laisser sur la devanture: meilleure bagette de Paris 1997, heuuuu, ça fait quand même plus de dix ans là…

Très bon
Gosselin offre un grand avantage: être une des rares boulangeries patisseries ouvertes le dimanche dans le quartier saint honoré. Le pain (baguette) est délicieux, croustillant avec une mie à pointe légèrement salée (à 1.15, c’est un peu plus cher qu’ailleurs). La patisserie est également remarquable, à prix élevés mais non extravagants: on notera un choix intéressant et important d’éclairs, dont les plus originaux sont ceux à la fraise tagada (moins écoeurant qu’il n’y paraît) ou encore au coquelicot…
