Douceurs et Plaisirs De Tolbiac

This was a wonderful little bakery. My wife and I stopped by here during our first day in this outskirt Paris neighborhood, when we were in a hurry to find a place to eat.

I believe we paid less than 8 Euros here, and she got a great lunch sandwich and a beautiful little dessert. The baguette for the sandwich was wonderful — fluffy yet crunchy — much better than our American baguettes (*sigh*). It had a slice of some wonderful cheese, and it was just a pretty, little, and light sandwich — but definitely enough for lunch.
The dessert (a type of chocolate cake) was fantastic for the price too. The chocolate used was pretty good, and the mousse was perfectly textured. We even saved it for the 2^nd day because we could not finish, and it was still good!
The staff here was also extremely patient and nice. I mean, my wife spoke fluent French, but it was clear that we were American because there I was, standing silently and smiling stupidly. She nonetheless served us very nicely, and put everything together in a pretty little package.
Stop by here if you happen to be in the neighborhood — totally worth it.

Formules sympa. Avec 7,80 tu peux t’acheter un bon sandwich, un dessert et une boisson. Je né sais pas si c’est parce que j’y suis allee vers la fin de la journee mais si tu achetes 2 croissants ou pain au choco ils t’en offrent un troisieme gratuit. :)
