About

Paillard operates as a high-volume bakery and café that specializes in traditional French artisanal techniques. The menu features an extensive selection of crusty baguettes, flaky croissants, and buttery pastries baked on-site throughout the day. Substantial sandwiches are crafted using house-made breads, frequently paired with hearty soups and crisp salads. The interior design emphasizes an industrial-chic aesthetic with high ceilings, exposed brick walls, and long communal tables designed for efficiency and rapid throughput. Guests order at a central counter where glass cases display an array of colorful macarons, tarts, and dense chocolate desserts. This establishment prioritizes the rapid production of quality wheat-based products within a bustling and utilitarian setting. It remains a central destination for those seeking authentic European-style baked goods served in a streamlined, self-service environment.

Le café grandeur moyen est l'équivalent d'un petit ailleurs... mais au prix d'un moyen. 6$ pour 8oz!!!

This is an institution for a reason. Cafeteria style vibe but make it French classy. The combo (quiche + salad + a mini baked good) is just enough food for lunch & there's enough choice to make it worthwhile. Food is delicious & there are good healthy options too. But the pastries are where they really shine. This almondine with chocolate was the perfect light snack. They could use a bit of variety with their tea choices though...

Les viennoiseries sont bonnes. C'est le seul point positif. La baguette parisienne est quelconque. Le café filtre est difficilement buvable sinon vous avez le droit à du Nespresso commercial. Le gros problème est l'attente. Trois boulangères désorganisées & nonchalantes pour servir des clients qui ne cessent d'arriver un dimanche matin. La boulangère a même fait tomber la baguette par terre avant de me l'a donner. Heureusement dans son sac protecteur mais quand même... Bref c'est frustrant comme expérience.

Nous habitons tout près de votre établissement de la rue Saint-Jean & nous avons l'habitude de venir nous attabler pour boire un café accompagné d'un excellent gâteau ou d'y venir en soirée pour manger un petit repas. Malheureusement nous avons constaté depuis quelques temps que la qualité de la nourriture n'était plus la même, que le service laissé à désirer & depuis notre passage, hier au soir nous avons en plus, constaté que la propreté de la salle de bain était dans un état déplorable!!!
Un mauvais point pour un établissement comme le votre & nous hésitons à présent de franchir la porte & d'y amener nos amis.
Dommage!!!
