La Châtaigne is a charming bakery known for its delicious French pastries, including croissants, baguettes, and mini-quiches. The quality is evident, with crispy, flaky textures and rich flavors that satisfy pastry lovers. The croissants are highly praised, with some reviews calling them god-tier French butter croissants, and the plain croissants are considered one of the best around. The bakery also offers savory breads made with great ingredients, and their jam selection complements the baked goods perfectly. Despite limited seating, customers often enjoy their treats outside in the sunshine, especially on nice mornings. The staff is friendly and efficient, helping keep lines moving smoothly. Although prices are a bit high, the popularity and quality make it worth the trip. Be aware of meter parking, which can be challenging. Overall, La Châtaigne remains a top spot for those seeking outstanding pastries and a friendly atmosphere.
