The story
Tucked away on Rue de la Roquette, this neighborhood bakery earns its stripes as a reliable local stop rather than a destination pilgrimage. With a solid 4.5-star rating, it delivers good quality and an excellent price-quality ratio—Franchino Er Criminale spent just €6 for four pieces, sampling the Pain au Chocolat, Croissant, and Girella con Crema Pasticcera. But consistency proved the catch: two of those four items arrived underbaked, nudging the score down to an “8 minus.” It’s the kind of spot that rewards the everyday run, not the weekend queue, where value and friendly execution outweigh occasional technical flaws. A worthy ally for a quick, affordable pastry fix in the 11th.

AI summary of what 3 dish mentions say about the food
The croissant earns universal praise, flaky and buttery to perfection, while the overall vibe is one of rustic Parisian warmth and simple, honest craftsmanship.
“The croissant is well-baked underneath, but the shape is imprecise — it's a bit rough. It's good, buttery, but there's an underbaked part at the back. You can see it.”

This neighborhood bakery has good quality and an excellent price-quality ratio — I spent only €6 for four pieces. But two out of four products were underbaked, which brings the score down to an 8 minus. It's a decent local spot, not a destination bakery.
Dishes mentioned
Pain au Chocolat
This pain au chocolat is a bit anemic. Look at the lamination — it's nice, but underneath where the chocolate is, it's a bit underbaked. You can see it. It's a shame. It's good and above average, but I expected more.
Croissant
The croissant is well-baked underneath, but the shape is imprecise — it's a bit rough. It's good, buttery, but there's an underbaked part at the back. You can see it.
Girella con Crema Pasticcera
The baking is better here. The raisins are still juicy, not burnt. The inside is cooked. This is good.
