I love this place! I recently spent 9 days in Paris and visited 4 times. It was such a nice treat to buy a few gluten free sweet treats for the day and come back again in a few days. If you like eclairs, skip the traditional chocolate. The caramel éclair is absolutely divine. Even my husband who eats gluten was pleased with the gluten free version. My other favorite was the molten chocolate cake. So delicious! The pear cake was an honorable mention.
Also, I bought their gluten free baguettes a few times. Gluten free bread will never be as delicious as regular, but they do a pretty good job. It does need some butter or jam to combat the dryness that gluten free breads tend to have. I was really thrilled to have baguettes to eat!
Go early because they often sell out of the favorites by the end of the day. This is a can’t miss bakery for those can’t consume gluten.

Yumm! I cannot remember the last time I had an éclair, probably years… well I just had two amazing ones, chocolate and caramel, and boy is my mouth happy. The texture was awesome the flavor was just on point. Well worth the 40 minute train ride from my hotel.

I really wish I could give them 5* because the service was friendly and lovely at both locations and the pastries are delicious.
But, alas, it’s not going to happen. I made sure to visit here in my first day in Paris so I could get some gluten free bread to accompany my lunches and dinners. The bread was not up to the same standard as the pastry and sweets. It is heavy and dense and more like an Irish soda bread. It also required heating to make it palatable. Thank goodness for all of the fantastic French butter and cheeses that I could pile into it!
The tart pastry is buttery and crumbles perfectly. The fruit fillings are sweet and tart and compliment the richness of the pastry. The éclair choux is fluffy and filled with chocolate cream that melts on your tongue making you wish you had bought more.
Bottom line: visit for the pastry, enjoy the tartes and eclairs. But skip the bread.

It’s so hard to find good gluten free pastries in Paris and this place is an amazing find to help satisfy those cravings! They were very polite and had a good selection of pastries — bread, cakes, croissants, etc. They also had a few to-​go lunch options like pasta salad, quiche Lorraine, etc. Standing room only for eating in the place, but doable. Worth a stop!

This was such an amazing find! Just a hop skip and a jump away from the louvre. I have been drooling at all the things I can’t have in the local bakeries and finally I came to a place where I could have everything! The pastries are absolutely phenomenal, the bread was okay. Be prepared to part with your money but it is so with it. Anything that had choux pastry ie the eclairs were out of this world!

Youhou! Notre pâtissier préféré sans gluten vient d’ouvrir une jolie boutique à Madeleine! Plus rien à prouver côté saveurs et délices du palais (et qu’on lise les avis pour celui de la rue Bichat, ils sont bien assez fidèles et élogieux!). Moi qui né suis pas allergique au gluten, je suis pourtant fan! Boutique très sobre, toute blanche, très élégante, très rive droite chic dans le hot spot de la gastronomie. C’est top! On y va les yeux fermés, les pâtisseries sont délicieuses et ravissantes. Détour obligé! Définitivement le quartier de toutes les perditions!

Un petit coin de gourmandise sans gluten… À emporter seulement. Toutes les pâtisseries sont étalées sur un présentoir blanc, on en a plein la vue! Le succès repose selon moi sur la tarte au citron et le carrot cake! On peut aussi acheter du pain (recette unique sous forme de pain rond) mais mieux vaut appeler avant de se déplacer car ils partent rapidement. Enfin une bonne adresse pour satisfaire les gourmands, no gluten addict ou pas!
