really great people working here, super friendly and helpful to foreign guests. food was great and is the perfect place to sit and relax while taking in the neighborhood vibe.
Not sure if i should include this in the review....but it was pretty cool so i will. one morning after grabbing some pastries, another customer must have yelled out a racial slur or something (i don't speak French so i can't be certain) very offensive to the male working and he "handled it in the streets" if you know what i'm saying! it was badass. i believe it was something offensive because about 10 other french speakers where all yelling at the offender. -

Our favorite bakery in Paris. We ordered 2 bread thingies the size of our hands (don't remember what they were labeled as) for $1.30 euros each. One was filled with salmon and cheese and the other with olive and cheese. Such a good deal!
Every bite was bursting with flavor and the bread was soft, chewy, and moist inside with a fragrant aroma abs the crust ha the perfect bite and crunch, especially around the corners and edges. Mmm, dying to come back for more. If I lived in Paris, I'd want to come here every day to try a new bread or pastry! -

As far as French bakeries go, I think Maison Marnay wins regardless of what you feel like.
Star 1: How were the service and atmosphere?
You've got friendly folks within this emporium of carbohydrates, and while the lines can grow long and at peak time the crowds can congest things a bit, Maison Marnay really is a beautiful shop. Star.
Star 2: How were the portions relative to the cost?
The prices are more than reasonable at Maison Marnay, and in my case €1,90 was somehow all is cost for a full sized Koign-Amann, which was a fantastic price point. Star.
Stars 3 and 4: How was the food?
Everything, and I mean everything, that my buddy and I sampled at Maison Marnay was amazing. The Koign-Amann? Among the best I've had. The macarons? Excellent. The lemon mereigne? The best I've had. Wonderful. Two Stars.
Star 5: Would you be excited to go back?
Absolutely. Star. -

This bakery was the best boulangerie I have eaten from. We stayed at an Airbnb that was walking distance to here. Every morning, we would get a few things from here for breakfast. Everything was so delicious! Too bad we didn't stay longer, or else I could have tried all their products.
We tried both types of baguettes (normal & traditional), chocolate eclair, strawberry tart, croissant (butter & chocolate), citron tart, mini apple pie, mille-feuille. Everything was so delicious, but my most favorite was their baguettes, croissants (butter & chocolate) and the strawberry tart.
Highly recommended!! Since coming back to NYC, I miss their baked goods very much.
P.S - try to be respectful by ordering in french. Like the saying "when in France, do as the French do". I was proud as I ordered in broken French - the staff appeared more friendlier (than when I spoke to them in English). -

Parisian boulangeries are where yesterday's shortcomings are washed away and given new zeal. They're a beautiful, coexisting jungle of chaos, yeast and euphoria.
Maison Marnay is one of the finest bakeries in Paris. In a sea of 8 million people, I'm convinced that my small dent into the local dining scene was meant to bump into this little, whimsical patisserie.
Signs you're at a legit French bakery: 5-star Yelp reviews + a long ass line of locals! The closer and closer we got to the front, the more indecisive I became. But then, just then, I was struck with a temptation for decadence. I NEEDED CHOCOLATE.
And Great Scott. The Chocolate Tart was truthfully outstanding. I'm not a seeker of desserts or sweets, but this, this was untainted elation. A culinary expose of the contemporary meets classic. The texture simply transformed my perception of what pastry can be.
Maison Marnay, exclusively superlative, exclusively Paris.
