La Pâtisserie des Rêves
A hit since it opened in 2009, this modern and playful pastry shop has won raves for its Paris-Brest. The rue du Bac location is take-away only, but in the 16th you’ll find a full-service tea salon with outdoor seating.

Reviews of interest
- Dorie Greenspan (2011) “I’d pilgrimage out again for these treats…the gateau Saint-Honoré…was not just gorgeous, but luxuriously delicious.”
- Gilles Pudlowski (2011) “Le lieu, genre galerie moderne zen, jouant le design néo années 1960 et joliment prolongée d’une terrasse dégustation sur l’arrière a le chic 16e… On a le loisir ici de jauger et de goûter à loisir les exquis Paris-Brest, l’éclair au café fort, l’épatant saint-honoré…”
- Bruno Verjus (2009) “…une boutique élégante, précieuse et subtile…”
- Dorie Greenspan (2009) “The look of the shop is ultra modern, even space-age-ish…It’s stunning and also a bit disconcerting. The eclair didn’t win me over — I thought its pretty chocolate wrapper made the pate-a-choux soggy, but I did like the chocolate mousse interior. The Tarte Tatin, on the other hand, was a winner, even if there was nothing about it that was true to the original.”
- Barbra Austin (2009) “I will happily admit to having been won over by the apple tart with crumbly topping, and the espresso powered coffee éclair. The tart a l’orange will please creamsicle lovers (if not me), and those who like their classics reconstructed will love the amber block of apples on the tarte tatin and the rearranged St. Honoré. The thing that will bring me back, though, is the Paris-Brest.”
