Pastries not only stale on Sunday, I tried on Monday and I have to say, esthetically very pleasing but disappointing overall. Decent hot chocolate, enjoyable interior design and a quiet place to have a chat over coffee. Would recommend, but not for eating. I will not spend my money on food here again. Staff professional.

Specialty drinks, pastries are good and displayed haphazardly. There were about 6 macaroons I'm the display and would get damaged by handling with tongs. The tarts are very fancy and tasty. Other pastries are decent, like a jelly filled donut. The eclair was OK.

Beautiful tea room, decent pastries, and ok staff. Their coffee is good, however Nespresso can be found in so many places, inclusively at home. The decor and terrace is what I appreciate the most of this place. It’s very chic and cozy, great for an intimate coffee with a friend or date. The “biscuit sablé” pistachio I had was a good texture, but only decent taste. The croissant I had on another occasion was nothing exceptional. This time they even packed the cookie to-go without asking (I was staying), though they claim to be eco-conscious. I had to ask 3 different staff members for the wifi because every time I asked they would say it quickly and walk away, as though is what a secret recipe. The only reasons I came back was due to proximity, a sunny day, and because they’re opened on Sunday.

Nespresso coffee with ok cakes. Nice for chitchatting but not for enjoying coffee or pastry.

A nicely designed cafe where you can have cake, salads and plat du hour. Lovely corner terrace for 30 people invaded for lunch once the sun is coming.

Good pastries, sandwiches, and chilled atmosphere. However, they sell day old, stale pastries on Sunday’s, it’s very disappointing. Most boulangeries would advertise them as ‘day old’ pastries but this one doesn’t. I’ve been there twice on a Sunday and the pain au chocolate was awful.

I don't know what the other comments are about. In my view it's only an ok place, and that's mostly because of the branding/interior decoration efforts. Patisseries look industrial and are ok to eat (but for that price :/). Otherwise, what really seals the deal is the rude waitresses: they don't even look at you or say hi (unless you're right in front of them and it's absolutely necessary), they comment about customer's looks to other customers while serving (even when said look is probably due to health-related issues), and they are very poorly dressed (like gym workers or something) - which I'm not sure is the best choice for (in my view) a nice tea room with nice clientele. They really just look all-round weird and it feels like you come into their place rather than at the Athénée. This is quite sad, the place looked promising.
