L'Atelier de Julien sur Cour-Et-Buis

Excellent croissant! Good vanilla flan ☺️

First visit to this bakery: I tried the pain au chocolat and the flan. As other reviews have mentioned, the pain au chocolat looks a little smaller than average. This isn't a weight issue, but rather a problem with how it's risen. Looking inside, you can see a slight lack of air pockets. It's a shame, because a more developed pain au chocolat would have a lighter crumb and a fuller, plumper, and therefore more visually appealing appearance. In terms of taste, however, it was excellent. You can tell the ingredients are high quality: the butter is prominent and gives a pleasant flavor, while the chocolate is delicious. In fact, there are three chocolate bars, which is a nice touch. At €1.20, the price is very reasonable, especially when you consider that just a few meters away, the same product sells for €1.55. Regarding the flan (€3.90 per slice), the portion is generous and attractive. The filling is pleasant on the palate: neither too dense, as is often the case with some more traditional recipes, nor excessively creamy. The balance is well achieved. However, the pastry is slightly lacking in crispness, which would have provided a more interesting textural contrast. In short: good ingredients, reasonable prices, and overall quality that lives up to expectations. A few adjustments to the rising of the pain au chocolat and the crispness of the flan pastry would allow it to reach an even higher level.

Special order for my birthday: chocolate hazelnut number cake and red fruit tart. It was magnificent and delicious! The flan was also delicious, as were the breads! I highly recommend it!

Two birthdays to celebrate. Strawberry season...strawberry cake 🎂! There were eight of us, and we all agreed: 10/10. A feast for the eyes, a perfectly balanced cake, amazing flavors, and incredible strawberries. Wow! 5 stars without a doubt. Personally, I've found my pastry chef! I can't wait for the next cake!

Chocolate croissants are delicious, especially when eaten warm while the chocolate is still slightly melted.

Sweetbread bites. A delight, both the filling and the puff pastry. So delicate, a real treat that will make me turn my nose up at the other options. And today, May 13th, I just discovered the BOSTOK brioche (French toast flavored with rum) – absolutely divine.

A very warm welcome, excellent service and food. Thank you for a wonderful experience.

Since discovering the pastries at "L'atelier de Julien", I only go there. A delight.

Great bakery, the breads and pastries are super delicious!!

The chocolate croissants are a delight, a truly flaky pastry with a rich chocolate flavor. The croissants and pain aux raisins are also delicious and incomparable. We savored the chocolate éclair, magnificent without being overly sweet! I want to congratulate Julien on his work; I travel to Herblay for his pastries and excellent bread. Try it, and you'll be back—he's a true artisan!
