Chez Meunier

First things first: this place had the best pistachio croissant I've ever had.
I didn't enjoy the pistachio babka too much.
The croissant d'almande was beautiful. Other than that: people need to chill. It's a bakery in a very busy place. Be kind to the staff.

I love this place. The staff is so wonderful and accommodating. And I speak NO French. That says something…. anyway, yesterday I had chocolate croissant COVERED in chocolate. It was/is decadent. Everything they have is incredibly delectable. Their espresso and coffee is top tier. And their overall ambiance is so inviting. I love this neighborhood spot. PS I’m a New York City native so to me, these prices are great! Especially the baguettes!!!!

I was racially abused！！！！！！！

I heard this place has a champion Croissant so I came by. And the girl at the left counter just ignored me! When I first told her about bonjour, she first served a lady next to me and ignored me, because it was understandable that the lady came first. But then another man came to my left, and I continued to greet her and she looked at me and went to greet the man. I don't think I was impolite at all. I said bonjour to her three times!! Her actions seriously hurt the image of Paris in my heart!! The counter on the left is totally different! First the shop assistant told me where to stand in line, then asked me what I wanted and gave me advice, I felt very friendly!! I spent 5 days in Paris and I can feel that this is discrimination ！！！！

It's recommended to anyone who is looking for poor and rude services.

This is my first time visiting Paris, but I'm quite disappointed as it brought me the first negative impression. Staff who are serving me to pack the breads is ok, and actually, I think the food quality is fine.

However, a baffled and fury incident happened in cashier. I have clearly mentioned what I had ordered in a nice way and am ready to pay.

But it seems he brought me the wrong bags, and i can't tell if it's right or not as it's packed in a bag. The next customer pointed out that he had brought the wrong one. Then he turned and blamed me in an impolited way that "You don't know what you ordered?"

I really feel shocked about it as I definitely explained it well. It's an unpleasant experience and rue my days. Service ranking is for the cashier, other staffs are fair.

The food was nice and presented really well, but the checkout and seating system were terrible.

There were huge queues and only one person taking orders and one on the checkout - it took more than 10 minutes for two items.

Additionally, they didn't provide the option of seats until they saw a tray from a purchase, despite showing that it was their fault for taking so long to get to the checkout.

!!Unhygienic!!

I encountered this place at Galeries Lafayette Le Gourmet and tempted to try their massive croissant, and lined up in the queue.

However, soon I saw flies enjoying the pastry (video/picture
attached). I was astonished by it and I mentioned this to the staff and they got rude that I pointed that out.

Thanks to that fly, I got to see their real customer service.

Wouldn’t recommend, unhygienic food & rude staff perfect reason for 0 stars

P.S - date of my visit 27/03/24 and time was 7.17pm

Got an eclair and croque monsieur … eclair tasted stale and old which can’t be right cuz it’s a super busy spot ! Regardless it was a disappointment. As for the croque monsieur is was decent ! But definitely nothing exceptional there… it’s cafeteria food by the end of the day so don’t set ur standards high
