This is one wine shop that’s thinking outside the box by thinking inside the box. Don’t worry–it’s not the Franzia of your youth. Bibovino’s bright purple boxed wines come from high-quality, small producers and are available by the glass, carafe, or box.
Head to Pozzetto for seriously good gelato, made daily in small batches. And for an added bonus, some of the best espresso in Paris. Their second location, Pozzetto Salato, is a small Italian epicerie with salty treats and sandwiches to complement the sweets.

Lindsey Tramuta (2012) “…each of the 12 all-natural flavors prepared daily in small quantities are exceptional. Pistachio, gianduja (chocolate and hazelnut) and fior di latte are Maura’s favorites and some of the most popular flavors.”
Barbra Austin (2009) “…12 flavors, all fairly traditional, made daily in small batches.”
Clotilde Dusoulier (2008) Recommended in Clotilde’s Edible Adventures in Paris
David Lebovitz (2007) “…simply the best gelato in Paris.”
Chrisoscope (2007) “Glaces toujours bonnes, à la limite de la fusion, mais juste ce qu’il faut…”

Time Out (2012) “The smart, orange-labelled gift boxes of candy and chocolates are always a pleasure, as are the retro treats of times gone by: butterscotch roudoudous eaten out of a shell, marshmallow ropes, pretty violet bonbons for sucking on.”

Meg Zimbeck (2012) “The ultimate French cheese shop…The historic Androuet fromagerie has been sourcing and maturing exceptional cheeses since 1909. Their shop on rue Mouffetard is staffed by friendly English-speakers who will be happy to explain and vacuum-seal your selections.”

David Lebovitz (2014) “Slathered between two crunchy meringues is a rich cream filling, precisely thick enough to hold the meringues together. The individual cakes are spread with a whisper-thin layer of cream and encrusted with a blizzard of shaved chocolate. The first time I tasted one, I bought a box to share with a friend. But I made the mistake of tasting one before he arrived (or he made the mistake of being late) and by the time he got there, all that was left were a few crumbs of meringue.”
Lindsey Tramuta (2014) “Unlike most on-trend patisseries that perpetually roll out limited-edition flavors, Mr. Vaucamp keeps his meringues focused, offering a compact but beautifully executed selection of six flavors, from the classic, rolled in dark chocolate, to the more original, like cherry and speculoos (spiced Belgian biscuits).”
David Lebovitz (2011) “Each merveilleux is layers of croquant meringue and lightly sweetened whipped cream, and comes in just three flavors: chocolate, coffee, and speculoos (spiced). I think if Aux Merveilleux de Fred decided to open anywhere else, be it the Marais or Dubuque, Iowa, they would have lines around the block.”
Caroline Mignot (2011) “Certes, c’est sucré, c’est riche, mais finalement assez léger, sorte de nuage de meringue et de crème qui se laisse déguster sans l’ombre d’un remord (surtout le spéculoos).”
Don’t let the multiple locations fool you into thinking that this is some kind of mediocre chain bakery: The breads at Kayser are excellent (ranked #1 on our list of Five Great Baguettes in Paris).
The 10th best baguette in Paris, according to the jury of the 2012 Grand Prix de la Baguette.

Painrisien (2012) “Les Saveurs de Wagram est l’exemple « type » d’une boulangerie-pâtisserie traditionnelle, avec des gammes n’exprimant aucune identité particulière… cette Tradition n’en est pas moins correcte : elle exprime une belle saveur de froment, des notes de crème, une douceur lactique bien agréable. Sa mie est assez bien alvéolée, malheureusement elle a une forte tendance à devenir rapidement pâteuse, la mâche n’est pas particulièrement fraîche. Les cuissons sont un peu courtes, et les croûtes d’une grande finesse perdent facilement de la consistance. Attention également à l’utilisation excessive du sel, présent ici en quantité.”

Time Out (2012) “Not content with stocking more than 1200 wines and spirits, ‘Le Vin en Tête’, also takes a teaching role, seeking to educate and to make the science behind wine-making interesting to as many as possible.”
Pierrick Jegu (2009) “Dans le genre bio-nature mais sans dogmatisme outrancier, cette maison pleine d’esprit dresse un catalogue assez palpitant…”
Wine Terroirs (2007) “They offer some 1000-1200 wines from all the french regions. A favorite ? Domaine Guillot-Broux, with the Macon-Cruzille (30 Euro) and the Macon-Villages (8 Euro)…And an italian (they also have a few foreign wines) organicly-farmed Sangiovese Rosso Del Gello 2004.”

Raids Patisseries (2011) “Ce qui est remarquable dans les gâteaux de l’Ecureuil, ce sont les chouettes présentations, simple en apparence, mais innovantes, ludiques, et très soignée. Concernant la boutique, les prix sont sages, et l’accueil attentionné, ce qui mérite d’être mentionné.”
Gilles Pudlowski (2010) “Il est le grand pâtissier méconnu de Paris… ont fait d’une échoppe discrète un temple précieux de la pâtisserie moderne. Si le lieu est petit, le talent est grand. Qui pousse à créer des nouveautés sans oublier les bases de la tradition. Des magnifiques éclairs, au « top » du genre, avec leur fine pellicule de chocolat, leur délicate pâte à choux, leur crème exquise, chocolat/café ou vanille/framboise. Divin!”
