La Pâtisserie Viennoise, Diptyque, tasse à café

It may be Spring but hot chocolate/chocolat chaud ☕️ is always a good idea in Paris 
La Pâtisserie Viennoise is tucked away on a side street is easy to miss - 8 rue l'école de médecine 75006 Bus 86, 63 go right by it.

It was in David Lebovitz' Paris Hot Chocolate Address Book.
I tried to make it to every hot chocolate ☕️ address on the list.
Don’t you love ❤️ Frenchie type on Paris' windows.

And the French handwriting on porte etiquettes/pastry cards. 
The Viennese pastries on offer: 
Black Forest cake - same as Sacher Torte? 
Their renown 🍎 strudel. Plus other viennoiseries.
I had a cup of hot chocolate (schokolade mit schlage / whipped cream) barely sweetened, intensely chocolatey.
Founded in 1928. No wonder there's an old-fashioned feeling to this student hangout. It's a favorite of Sorbonnoises and one of Paris' hidden petit trésors.
Practice reading French écriture cursive on an ardoise / blackboard menu before you leave for Paris. That’s a French class you won’t find on YouTube. 
Speaking of hot chocolate ☕️ Diptyque has an new collaboration 
With coffee 🫘 house, 
Café Verlet.
It would be fun if their new bougie/scented candles came in real coffee cups ☕️ instead of standard glasses.
Clever London illustrator Clym did the artwork.
They even have a biscuit-scented candle. No cookies 🍪 included 😦

    Nice map addition! Don in Texas is enjoying his gift Paris Letter of the book stalls! TY! It arrived on a gloomy, rainy cold day--a day brightener...

    Brings me back to Pâttiserie Viennoise where I would tuck in on a cold day, all by my lonesome, and indulge. I didn't know there was a map to these pleasures. Will order soon!

      Exactly! A nice warm, cosy spot with coffee ☕️ aromas when Paris is its chilliest

    Carol, I still LOVE all your drawn figures and study them. No one does it better. Their movements are perfect, the way they stand, lean, walk. Perfect! 💗

      I should do that more often…this is an old one. They rarely put street names in Paris Google maps - so annoying. In London there was no problem 🤷‍♀️

    Carol, it just dawned on me that Anton Pieck does people/figures like you. You both have so much animation & feeling. I always look to see what they are doing. Wonderful.

      I never heard of Anton Pieck before, which means nothing. He’s a wonderful draftsman and does very complex scenes I could never do but thanks for telling me about him.

    The Black Forest cake is a famous German cake and has nothing to do with the Sacher Torte (which is from Austria).

      Thank you for the link. Of course there is only ONE Sacher Torte! I actually tasted it on a very brief visit to Vienna eons ago with an opera singer I met on the train 😊

    Yum Carol! I tried to find Cafe Pouchkine at Au Printemps last year and failed. Do you have insight as to finding its current location? Julie in San Francisco

      Closed permanently in Paris unfortunately. Maybe the war in Ukraine…?
