Located at 7 Rue Sedaine, just steps from Bastille in Paris’s 11th arrondissement, Frappe Urban Bakery is the passion project of Solenn Le Squer (daughter of three‑star chef Christian Le Squer) and pastry expert Thomas Padovani, with experience at Ducasse, Angelina’s, Kayser and more.

Set in a bright, modern space featuring a striking ceiling fresco, Frappe offers artisan breads made with organic flour and sourdough, including the signature Tourte Frappe, red‑berry bread, and a multigrain country loaf.

Their viennoiserie selection shines with croissants, pain au chocolat, babka, bostock – and especially the Frappe Roll, a circular croissant‑based pastry inspired by New York’s “Suprême,” filled with praline‑hazelnut or salted caramel cream depending on the season.

Pastries include chocolate éclair, Paris‑Brest, red fruit tart, Tropézienne‑style cream puff, and Breton shortbread with rhubarb and orange‑flower ganache.

At lunch, they offer savoury options: tomato‑mozzarella‑pesto focaccia, NYC bagel, “Meuhhhle” sandwich (Brie de Meaux, onion compote, spinach), quiche lorraine, smoked mackerel rillettes and more – ideal for takeaway or a quick urban bite.

The atmosphere is urban, friendly, appealing to local Parisians and trendy food lovers alike. The name “Urban Bakery” reflects the proximity and neighbourhood spirit while staying fashionable.

Lovely anecdote: a child once came to buy their first bread equipped with a walkie‑talkie to stay in touch with their parents!
