Paul French Bakery And Cafe- Franklin Square

One of the best places to grab a quick breakfast if you want quiet in the morning or a fast lunch during the day. And yes this is the same Paul bakery you’ll find in Paris. My favorite was the blueberry tart but they stopped making it a few years back, but I still love the prosciutto sandwiches. This morning I had a sausage, egg and cheese croissant and my friend had the ham and cheese one. We finished with pistachio and raspberry macaroons. It’s a great place for a quick bite to eat, and quiet first thing in the morning.

I had totally forgotten until last night, just as I was going to sleep, that Paul had branches in DC. Having visited the Paris and London branches over many years we scooted over here for a snack in between museums. We ordered a slice of the almond apple cake and mille feuille. The former was kinda meh for the price, liked the mille feuille though again it was a little expensive for what it was. But what we really came for was the hot chocolate, which was as divine as I remembered it. It was perfect for a rainy and cool day. Will have to go again before we leave. I'll have to try some of their other pastries. Always like the tarte au citron. If you need a hot chocolate or pastries, come here!
