Café Pouchkine

the only spot where I’ll sit for sweets (or any eats) around Place des Vosges. and my lady says their hot chocolate served on imperial-​ish silver beats Angelina’s.

Amazing macaroons. Maybe even better than laduree or the other famous ones. I just found this place as it was close to where I was staying. What a nice little Paris surprise. Definitely gonna remember this place next time I come back to Europe.

Great place with the best service. I was surprised by the professionalism of the waitress (Elina). She was the only one that day catering the pastry shop as well as the tables and despite the pressure she kept her smile and friendliness. I loved the desrts we chose as well as the russian specialties. It was beautiful to look at and very tasty.

You found it: The best macaroons in Paris. I’ve tried Laduree, Angelina and had almost given up on Macaroons. This is coming from someone who loves all things Paris. The Chocolat Carmel Macaroons simply can’t be beat.
The girl was really sweet and they even had samples to try! Tasty Citron like cake. A little pricey but my 2 macaroons came with a really cute tin! (6 Euros)
The truffles look really good too. I love how they use glitter in their sweets– it’s so cute!

In a city brimming with delicious classic pastries, Pouchkine offers a nice Russian twist to the traditional desserts of Paris like the Saint Honoré with a fromage frais glaze using Russian cheese and flavors. I’d come here again, beautiful presentation as expected. There’s also some seats so you can enjoy the desserts sur place avec thé ou café which is not always available.

This is seriously one of the most enjoyable dessert stops I made during my visit to Paris. The desserts look like tiny pieces of art; the shop is beautifully decorated and the staff is incredibly friendly. I made sure I visited this place twice just so I could have the opportunity to try something else on the menu. I was not disappointed and I thoroughly enjoyed all of my dessert options.
When I return to Paris again I will make sure this is one of the mandatory stops. I suggest you make it one of your mandatory stops because it’s a place you’ll regret not visiting.
Each time we visited we made sure to have some coffee and tea. We sat down and thoroughly enjoyed our dessert. You’re doing your self a disservice if you just grab a dessert and go.
One of the desserts I had in many different locations well in Paris was the macaroon. At some point you realize that some vendors just are not as good at making them as others. I found their macaroons visually appealing, crisp, lightly sweeten, and they offer a burst of flavor once the cookie gets to room temperature in your mouth. I found them delightful and here I am days later wishing I had a few of them in Texas.
It is now a month since I visited Paris and this dessert is still a vivid memory in my mind.

Ayant testé le café Pouchkine de Moscou, comment né pas être déçue… La vitrine est vraiment alléchante avec ses pâtisseries superbes qui malheureusement né sont pas à la hauteur. Cruel manqué de gourmandise. Les macarons sont à éviter, trop sucrés pour certains (pistache framboise), goût chimique (vanille), et pour certains la coque était rassie.
Pour le même prix, on préfèrera Ladurée ou Hermé.

C’est un joli espace près de la place des Vosges qui propose des patisseries raffinés, parfois meme dans la démesure. Il y a de l’extravagance dans certaines patisseries, des choses que nos palets de français non pas l’habitude de gouter, des surprises plus ou moins bonne selon ce que vous prenez.
Mais une fois ouvert devant vos convives je vous jure que ça claque, ça épâté, on mange avec les yeux, mais après avec notre bouche et c’est là que ça blesse, c’est au final plus beau que bon à mon gout.
Outré les patisseries j’ai trouvé que les viennoiseries étaient hors de prix. Et je n’ai pas testé les macarons car trop classique dans cette boutique qui en met plein les yeux.
Bref à vouloir épaté la galerie, on voit trop le travail, la douleur, et on oublie l’essentiel, le gout, la subtilité.

Aaaaaaah ! Quand je viens à Paris, j’habite à côté et c’est super dangereux d’habiter à côté du Café Pouchkine…
Je me suis retenue pour le moment, j’ai juste gouté les beignets russes (mélange de beignet et pâte feuilletée avec enrobage vanille ou chocolat) et c’est une pure tuerie.
Pour le reste, j’ai juste gouté avec les yeux et c’était déjà énorme. C’est beau, c’est plein de couleurs folles et de mélange improbables, la boutique est super chic et cosy sans oublier l’accueil qui est excellent pleins de sourires et d’accents russes ! J’adore !
(sauf les prix bien sur, mais bon…)

We tried the raspberry macaroon, the cheesecake macaroon, the caramel and chocolate truffle and the chocolate tart. My favorite by far was the chocolate truffle, but all were outstanding. Great place to grab some treats and sit in the nearby park!

Oh good heavens. Their vanilla macaron might be my all-​time favorite macaron — EVER! And they are oh so beautiful…
The store is located less than a block from Place des Vosges — it would simply be perfection to visit Café Pouchkine on your way to the park.

This is one of my favorite patisseries in Paris, so I was glad to come across it’s newest storefront. Conveniently located just next to Place des Vosges, the stand alone store is much less hectic than it’s predecessor located in Printemps. They truly have some of the most beautiful and creative pastries, with a fusion of Russian and French techniques and flavors. Their truffles are a must. Though I’ve only visited twice, they no longer carry the cakes we bought a year ago. Bummer, since the baba à rhum and chocolate square were both excellent, but I like that they change things up, unlike many patisseries that have the same stuff year after year. This time we had the rose and the coconut/​raspberry cake. I can never remember their names, but both were really good. I can’t wait to go back and try more from their selection!

Une excellente patisserie qui vient d’ouvrir près de la place des Vosges.
Déjà présente dans les galerie du printemps Haussmann, j’ai déjà pu gouter leurs patisserie qui sont super. Mais je n’ai pas pu m’empêcher d’y re-​gouter. Et c’est toujours autant un plaisir de les déguster, j’ai pris une Rose Pouchkine et un autre done je né me rappel plus le nom mais qui était a la coco et framboise. Les deux gateaux sont très fines et très originale et toujours magnifique.
En résumer une patisserie très fine et créative, qui reste quand même assez cher.
