Passionate artisans blending tradition and creativity in a must-visit local bakery.
Description
Located in Paris’s 11th arrondissement, Léa & Gilles Bakery moved to 14 Rue Bréguet on November 1, 2024, after several years in the 14th arrondissement on Rue d’Alésia. Founded in 2017, this bakery‑pâtisserie is renowned for its artisanal craftsmanship and creative approach.
Open from 7 AM (8 AM on Saturdays), the display showcases crispy baguettes, specialty breads, flaky viennoiseries (croissants, pain au chocolat with almond versions), and brioche. Pastries range from classic French favorites to seasonal creations, including refined cheesecakes much praised by customers.
The atmosphere is warm and friendly, with a stylized interior, young and helpful staff, and courteous service—even for tourists with limited French skills. Some isolated reviews mention a few imperfect items (dry rolls or lightly filled pastries), but these are rare.
On‑site purchases, take‑away, and online pre‑orders (for next‑day pick‑up, except Sunday) are available. The bakery accepts credit cards, is wheelchair‑accessible, offers free drink with purchase of a meal + dessert in store, and is pet friendly.
Regular patrons include locals, tourists, and pastry enthusiasts seeking quality at modest prices (1–10 € per person). A loyal customer base mentions daily visits just for their beloved three‑bar chocolate croissant, described as “truly superb”.
Practical info: closed Sundays; opening hours Mon–Fri 7 AM–8:30 PM, Sat 8 AM–8 PM. Well‑served by Bréguet‑Sabin Metro and multiple bus lines; Vélib’ stations nearby.
