JJ's Boulangerie

While the pizza smelled great midafternoon, I was there for the patisserie. I was thrilled to find they offered two of my most-want-to-try baked goods featured on Great British Bake Off: Opera Cake and Napoleon. (They even had two kinds of Napoleon, the other having raspberry.) We bought them to-go. Oh my word. The Napoleon was incredible—the cream pat is divine—but that Opera Cake is one of the best desserts I have ever had.

We enjoyed every so much that we returned for breakfast the following day. Sunday at 8am had a line but it moved fast. They already had some of their fine patisserie out, and a large selection of bready breakfast goods. They all looked great, but we went with a small, gorgeous apple pie and a chocolate swirl stick. The pie surprised us by having a custard filling beneath the swirl of apples on top, everything delicious. The chocolate in the stick was high quality stuff, quite rich (maybe Valrohna?) with flaky bread. We also ordered some bread for dinner; turned out it was three small breadsticks or rolls for $1.50, so we bought sourdough: two sticks, one roll. They were delicious that night with soft Harbison cheese.

Really delicious deli!! I just. Think they need more chairs so they can accommodate more people more comfortably.

Sandwich tasted amazing! This is an affordable place to eat inside of Paris. The bread on my sandwich was still warm it was so fresh!! They had variety of quick and easy foods (pizza, sandwiches, salads, etc).

Great breakfast sandwiches. Only okay for other times. The line moves slow regardless of time. The pizza was good but not great. The dessert options become more and more limited later in the day as they sell out and don't restock. Go early rather than late.

Service was nice because she let us get fresh slices of pizza instead of what was sitting there. Especially when it 1am. The dessert was all out and the line was long. Overall the pizza was good for fresh bakery.
