Ground to Grow sur Paris

26/07/2026: Stopped by for a sweet treat and really enjoyed the bakery’s clean, cozy, and relaxing atmosphere. Since it was really hot outside, the air conditioning and comfortable seating were a huge plus. Sometimes happiness is just a blast of cold air from the AC… The staff was polite and welcoming. That said, the restroom could use a bit more attention, and the conversations in the kitchen were loud enough to be heard from the seating area. We ordered the Chou Abricot and the Charlotte Fraise. They looked adorable and tasted fine, but they were a bit too sweet for us. Given Christophe Michalak’s reputation, we were expecting a bigger “wow” moment. We probably just picked the wrong pastries. On such a hot day, we should have chosen ice cream instead. The Ourson Givré will be our target next time!

11/07/2026: We had a wonderful afternoon at the pastry masterclass presented by Elsa and her apprentice Maya. We learned so many interesting things; Elsa explained everything in detail and answered all our questions. At the end, we enjoyed a delicious tasting of the Pavlola, Paris-Brest, and lemon meringue tarts—everything was absolutely delicious! We'll definitely do it again!
