Located at 29 Rue Saint Antoine in Paris’s 4th arrondissement, just steps from Bastille and Le Marais, Boulangerie Saint Antoine is a beloved neighborhood bakery open Monday to Saturday from 7 AM to 8 PM.

Established around 2014, it has become known for its signature “craquante” baguette, crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside, with irregular bubbles typical of tradition bread. Customers and restaurateurs alike praise its impeccable texture and freshness.

The bakery offers a wide selection of viennoiseries (croissants, chocolate croissants, raisin rolls) and simple pastries including financiers, chocolate moelleux, and flan. The apricot croissant stands out for its moist, flaky inside and pleasing sweetness.

The atmosphere is warm and familiar, with quick service and friendly staff serving both locals and visiting food enthusiasts. Though a few customers have noted an industrial feel or mixed service quality, most reviews highlight good value for money with products under €10 and effective grab-and-go lunch options.
