Boneshaker Doughnuts

This is a food map of where to get my favorite sweets and pastries from different bakeries in Paris. When I moved to here in 2015 as a nanny, I discovered the cultural activity called "gouté", which is what the french call the afternoon snack. For kids after school this looks like a pastry from the boulangerie, some chouquettes (in this guide), or chocolate wedged between a baguette. Basically anything baked and buttery with chocolate qualifies as a gouté. If you find yourself in Paris and want to partake in this cultural daily tradition, or just want to have some of the best baked goods you'll ever have IN YOUR LIFE, save this guide and check out the places below.

When you think of Parisian cuisine, you probably picture something along the lines of baguettes, escargot, & cheese. As someone who is vegan, I thought my options would be somewhat limited there but BOY was I wrong. Not only did Paris have an abundance of fully vegan restaurants and bakeries, but it actually has several of my favorite vegan restaurants of all time. I have now been to Paris four times and tried many vegan places, but the ones listed below are my absolute favorites.

Looking for a good cup of joe that is not what you'll find at every street corner café in Paris? It's more than just Café Richard that you'll be served. These are the places that are making coffee great again.
