Now as you know, given the choice, I will almost always pick savory over sweet. But as you also know, I do love my baked goods (namely, baking them). Being in Paris, I am never lacking in pastries and treats, but you can't deny that among the tartes, the eclaires, and the chaussons, there seems to be a little something missing: the good ol' American dessert.
I'm talking carrot cake, scones, fruit pie, chocolate cookies, and cupcakes of every flavor. Luckily, my passion for food carried me to the point where I actively sought out to discover the best spots in Paris for an American starved for her usual dessert:
Sugarplum Cake Shop
68, rue de Cardinal Lemoine
75005
Everyone here speaks English and the girls behind the counter are super friendly. The display is divine and as I type, a piece of cream cheese-frosted carrot cake patiently awaits me:
Berko
23, rue Rambuteau
75004
This is only one of two Paris locations of this charming cupcake shop. While cupcakes are beginning to become a "thing" in Paris, they are still rather rare to come by, and this place knows what they're doing. They also sell various cheesecakes.
Rose Bakery
46, rue des Martyrs
75009
This place is overpriced but delicious. If you miss your stuck up brunch place in Seattle, come here and get your fill.
