Boulangerie Julien

Absolutely love this bakery. I’ve had baguettes, croissants, chocolate croissants, and quiche Lorraine.
It is the epitome of a local French bakery in my mind. I cannot wait to return!

Très bon! Je valide ! La brioche est moelleuse et né partez pas sans goûter les petits «boninis» qui sont succulents !!

Cute little boulangerie with a huge selection of pastries, bread and sweets. We tried their quiche legumes which are very tasty! Also try their macarons which do not only taste great but are also half the price of other well known places. This place is well worth a detour

Wonderful pastries!!! And hotdog with cheese topping. We never had it before, but it was wonderful. We will visit again and again and again.

Person behind the counter didn’t really know much English but the universal language of pointing did the trick.
Pizza Jamon — crispy and fluffy dough with ham, cheese and tomatoes. Not much more you can ask for other than another order of this. Nom nom.
Chocolate almond croissant — almond croissants are already mysterious pastries filled with crack, but when you add chocolate you might as well sign me up for rehab because I will eat two or three… Basically this was awesome.
Chocolate Swiss something — about 97% of the same sentiment as the chocolate almost croissant raving I did above.
Normal croissant — flaky, tasty and not really any way to improve on this. So good.
And the absolute kicker? All of this cost 8 euro. I know people tend to flow to the expensive macarons when in Paris but you can’t beat this kind of value. For the price of roughly 3 – 4 macaron, you can get a solid meal for two. Can’t be beat.

We rented an apartment in the building right next door and started every single day here. This fabulous patisserie has won a «Best of Paris» award about 5 times and it’s obvious why! The food is like artwork and equally as delicious. The quiche are exceptional and warmed in a toaster over, never microwaved! The baguettes are amazing as is their Americano coffee in a small go-​cup. There’s a reason why they regularly win a best-​of-​Paris award and I recommend you stop-​by to see for yourself!

Everything here is made well. Supposedly, they have the best baguettes in Paris, thought we didn’t try it. We got the pistachio escargot, baguette sandwich, Paris Brest, mini canele, and a slice of the apricot tart, and walked to the Nelson Mandela gardens to eat. The pistachio escargot was my favorite and is studded with chocolate chips. My only regret is that I did not try more things!

Found this small bakery on Unilocal while I was recently on vacation in Paris. We tried the smoked salmon pastry, spinach cheese pastry, chocolate croissant, and espresso with milk. All items were good and reasonably priced for the area. The people behind the counter were really friendly and patient with us as none of us spoke any French.

I stopped by this place both mornings I was in Paris. I liked that it wasn’t busy and the employees were attentive. Very straightforward, I knew exactly what I wanted (butter croissant and an almond croissant), order, they ring it up and you’re out the door. The pastries were very good, but not mind blowing. Price was appropriate.

We came here 3 times during our stay in Paris. Our apartment was a short 8 minute walk. Our breakfast usually consisted of a traditional baguette, croissant, and almond croissant. My daughter loved the quiches. The prices are really good for the quality you get. The baguette is one of the best we’ve ever had. I only wish they had more locations!

We stayed very close to Boulangerie Julien, so I was able to stop by this bakery each morning during our 3 day trip. I sampled an assortment of their items, including: baguettes, espresso, croissants, some kind of cream puff, a Nutella macaron, a quiche and a chocolate snail pastry. The only issue I had was with the baguette I bought the first day, it was good, but not amazing and maybe even kinda hard. I went ahead assuming that French baguettes probably couldn’t live up to the praise they’ve received from every American I’ve met returning from Paris. However, the next day I bought another baguette and that one was perfect: crispy outside and pillowy soft inside. I have truly never had a piece of bread like that in America.
Everything outside of that first baguette gets a big thumbs up, but the standout were the croissants. Nothing will ever take away the memory of those perfectly crispy, flakey butter rolls. The croissants were sitting behind glass when I bought them, so when I brought them to the apartment and we began to eat, I was surprised to find that they were still warm inside. The praise that real French croissants receive is warranted, I don’t know if I can ever eat one of the chewy croissants we have in America again.
As an American who speaks no French, I thought the staff was pretty accommodating. That said, they expect the line to keep moving quickly, so know what you want beforehand. I ordered mostly in English with some very broken French thrown in and they didn’t have much of a problem understanding me.

Wow! Totally recommend this patisserie! So beautiful and delicious pastries! I wanted to try everything! I ordered in my broken French and I think the lady got a little frustrated, :/
Anyway I got the quiche Lorraine and salmon, the lemon meringue custard and the caramel Macaron. Both were delicious! We wanted to go back and buy a box of macarons as gifts but they are closed on Sundays! :(

If you are going to eat croissants in Paris, make sure to do it the right way and go to the best place…
Boulangerie Julien is the best place — it simply cannot get any better.
When I walked inside, I was immediately drawn to the smell and perfect-​looking pastries behind the glass. It is a bit overwhelming as they have croissants and other puff pastry-​esque desserts, cakes and tarts, as well as quiches and other savory items.
My boyfriend and I were pretty hungry so we started with:
— an onion quiche (best quiche of my life)
— smoked salmon baguette (good, but not a highlight)
— rhubarb tart (perfect, not too sweet, but absolutely delicious)
After we inhaled all of it, we decided to completely indulge and go back in line for more. For round two, we ordered:
— a regular croissant (buttery deliciousness)
— an apple turnover (also heavenly)
— an almond croissant (basically crack)
Since it was our last day in Paris, we agreed to only have one bite of each of the last 3 pastries… just to sample of course. Naturally, we couldn’t resist and ended up finishing every bite.
Obviously, everything was great — very highly recommend.
Oh, and did I mention that the prices are super cheap? I think the croissants are about a euro each!
For that price, just get one of everything. You might need to loosen your belt a little, but if this isn’t worth the calories, I don’t know what is. s

Toujours super bon!
A essayer, les pains aux raisins avec une pâte feuilleté et pas une pâte briochée, un délice!
Ils sont originaux avec leur gâteaux, laissez vous tenter, ça vaut l’aventure!

Salut les accros aux baguettes et je vous souhaite la bienvenue au test ultimatif de la meilleure baguette de Paris! (Für deutsch bitte runterscrollen!) Voilà — j’essaye de trouver la meilleure baguette de Paris et ici, je trouve La baguette plutôt moyenne. Le goût très bon et frais mais la croûte bcp trop croustillante à mon avis, même semblant avoir été cuite trop longue temps! J’ai goûté la tradition. Ils ont été élue la meilleure baguette de Paris 4 fois déjà (wooow!) mais la dernière fois en 2003, donc.
Moinsen Ihr Baguette-​Fresser :)) und herzlich willkommen zum ultimativen Baguette-​Test. Ich suche das beste Baguette von Paris! Aber dieses wird den Titel aus meiner Sicht nicht holen, obwohl es offiziell schon 4 mal den Titel des beten Baguettes gewonnen hat. Aber das letzte Mal halt auch in 2003. Die Kruste ist viel zu kross und etwas zu trocken, zu dunkel. Es scheint, als ob es zu lange im Ofen war? Oder sind die hier halt so? Ich fand es nur Durchschnitt, obwohl der Geschmack frisch und auch lecker war.

So good.
If I lived in Paris, I would be starting my day off in one of their amazing boulangeries. Today we went to Julien, which totally met my expectations. For a little over 8 euros, hubby and I took home a still warm tradition (bread), chocolate pear cake, Pain Au Chocolat and an amazing slice of rhubarb pie.
Everything was just perfect — nicely wrapped to go too!
Took it back to our place and served it with coffee and a selection of cheeses and chorizo we bought the prior day… Delicious! Perfect crust and density to the bread, nice texture to the Pain Au Chocolat and the great balance of sweet and tart in the pie to end the meal. Will be back!

I could eat this whole place up!
Very easy to and only a block away from the metro subway stop, this little booulangerie did not fail to impress me.
What I ordered:
–2 Butter croissants: Delicious!!! It was like fluffy butter in my mouth. I wish I had ordered a dozen of these to take home with me.
–Almond croissant: I did not get to try this as it was intended for my mom, but she LOVED and wish she came with me to France.
–Pain au chocolate: I wish it was warm, but I was addicted to the taste of it as soon as it entered my mouth.
–Some other chocolate type gourmandise: I did not like this one as much as in other bakeries, namely because they had some kind of cream layer inside of it that I didn’t care for. But I ate it all anyway. It was not my cup of tea, but it was still good!
All this for about 7 euro and some change. They also had a variety of breads, quiches for about 3.3 euro, and pizza that looked really good but I purposefully stayed away from. The service here was ok, but when you’re on the run it doesn’t matter. It was very quick and to the point. No niceties here, but they made up for it in their delicious goodies. I’m definitely coming back here the next time in Paris! Highly recommended if you’re a bread and pastry person!

Stumbled upon this gem walking back to our hotel ! Crepes chocolate cake and croissants are baked fresh and very good !

pain au-​dessus de la moyenne
mais très cher. 1,30 € pour une baguette c’est profiter…
je né vais plus chez eux car les vendeuses prennent le pain à la main et prennent ensuite les billets et pièces. Pas très propre tout cela !
je préfère aller chez Kayzer. Le pain est moins cher et tout aussi bon et c’est d’une propreté irréprochable !

This was our first taste of what we thought was a true Parisian Boulangerie. I was disappointed on a few levels:
1) Margaret Ann and I have both been overwhelmed with how kind and courteous people in the service industry have been here. The stereotype about the French is all off. The people have been amazing. Except here. The two women behind the counter were curt and impatient. We were trying to be quick, but the moment we asked a question, we got daggers. Not warm at all!
2) This one may not be Julien’s fault. It’s possible that I was expecting too much. We have a great bread shop in Fresno (La Boulangerie), and I love their croissants. I assumed that one of the best boulangeries in Paris would be 10x better. I was wrong. I enjoy the Fresno one just as much. In other words, the product was pretty pedestrian.

Two mornings. Two quiche lorraine. A blueberry tart, an apricot tart, and a rhubarb tart. I wish I could have brought back 100 hundred quiche with me. Best quiche I’ve ever had. Ever.
Love this place and wish we were in the area around lunch to try their absolutely tantalizing sandwiches — Ohhhh I miss you Julien!!!

J’vais me faire taper, mais je né suis pas ultra fan de leurs sandwichs: souvent assez lourds et gras, mais bon, ça plaît à mes collègues qui n’aiment pas avoir le ventre vide entre deux lignes de codes.
Par contre, leurs pains sont terribles!

This place is sooooo. Good. Best pain au chocolat I had in Paris. And for such cheap prices too! I wish I could have gotten a baguette sandwich as well but I got full from the two pastries I ordered. My friends really enjoyed the sandwiches. It’s a short walk away from the louvre Id definitely recommend coming here after a visit!

I came here for breakfast with the intention of eating ½ a baguette. Yeah, that just didn’t happen. Ate the whole thing in 10 minutes. I don’t regret it one bit.
Also had a few bites of a chocolate croissant which was good but nowhere near as delectable as the baguette. It didn’t even need butter.

After visiting several amazing bakeries in Paris including Pierre Herme, Carette, Paul and Philippe Gosselin, I think Julien might be my favorite. If I lived in Paris, this would definitely be my go to place for fresh bread and pastries. I came here with my family for lunch after finding out that Claus was booked for the entire day. The people who work here only speak French but if you don’t speak French, you could definitely just read the signs and gesture how many of each item you want. All the pastries were very reasonably priced for Paris and we got an eggplant sandwich, ham and cheese bread, strawberry tart, and flan for 12 euros. You can also request for any of the pastries to be heated up if you like.
There was a park close by with benches so I would recommend grabbing some pastries from Julien and walking to the park to sit down and enjoy them. The bread I had was so fresh and delicious and the strawberry tart was possibly the best strawberry tart I’ve ever had. I would definitely recommend visiting Julien if you’re ever near the Louvre!

Ma boulangerie préférée — le Julien de la Rue du Faubourg St Martin !
Le pain top ramené par maman tous les soirs où elle bossait dans le quartier — et puis quand ils fermaient et qu’il en restait — La boulangerie nous en donnait deux ou trois ^^.
Les sandwichs justement — très bons et bien garni — mention spécial à ceux au pain au sésame et au sandwich mixte jambon gruyère qui m’a régalé pendant les deux ans où j’étais en stage dans le quartier.
Quant aux desserts, je recommande le flan nature (un de mes desserts préférés) et leur gateaux individuels aux 3 chocolats… Un délice ! Recette maison top.

Très bonne baguette, plusieurs fois primé lors de concours précédents de la meilleure baguette de Paris. Baguette tradition délicieuse (ma préférée). Les pâtisseries très fines également, prix raisonnables.

Voilà une boulangerie-​pâtisserie comme on aimerait qu’il y en ait plus à Paris ! Quand je travaillais au Zara, rue de Rivoli, c’est ici que je venais chercher mon déjeuner. Pour les prix corrects d’une part mais surtout parce que chez Julien, tout est suculent ! Du simple jambon-​beurre aux sandwichs plus élaborés, de la quiche lorraine à la pizza en passant par les tartelettes aux fraises ou éclairs au café… Tout est simplement délicieux. Alors si vous passez devant et que vous avez le temps — le midi, il y a foule devant l’enseigne -, faites-​vous donc une pause gourmande chez Julien. Je vous le recommande fortement !

Vous vous demandez où trouver l’une des meilleure baguette, ou l’un des plus bons croissants de la Capitale, alors essayez la Boulangerie-​Pâtisserie Julien, située sur la rue St-​Honoré.
Du pain artisanal fabriqué au même endroit depuis bientôt 20 ans dont la qualité a su se maintenir et se perfectionner au fil du temps.
En tant qu’accro de bon pain frais je vous conseille de vous y arrêter si un jour vous passez dans le quartier.

Ma boulangerie
La boulangerie Julien, c’est plusieurs sites, où on retrouve sensiblement la même offre. J’apprécie sa viennoiserie très variée (beignets très parfumés, chouquettes, pain au chocolat blanc, quelques viennoiseries à la pistache…: sont mes préférés), ses sandwichs tout à fait honorables (dont un bon basique jambon beurre), ainsi qu’une patisserie soignée (sans être inoubliable), qui fait son effet. les prix sont très accessibles. Ce n’est sans doute pas LE lieu incontournable, la patisserie inoubliables, mais c’est une bonne adresse que je recommande.

On a l’embarras du choix dans cet établissement où tout est fait avec le professionnalisme artisanal et le sens des bons produits finis. Que ce soit les viennoiseries, le pain tradition et les pâtisseries, on est ravis et certains de la qualité

Super adresse !
Cette boulangerie pâtisserie offre un très grand choix de pains, sandwichs, pâtisseries, tartes salées… Bref, un régal. La baguette tradition en particulier est délicieuse, de même que les «pavés» (sandwichs) comme en témoigne la longue file d’attente quotidienne à l’heure du déjeuner. Les prix sont corrects et la qualité au rendez-​vous. Le seul bémol vient du service un peu lent.
