Breakfast Pastries: The Best Bakeries from Around the World

Poilâne – Paris, France

Paris is thought to be the world’s capital of bakeries, but it’s not just fancy patisseries and confectionary stores that draw tourists in. One of the world’s best loaves of bread comes from an unassuming Paris bakery called Poilâne that’s been operated by the same family for three generations. The bakers at Poilâne churn out massive loaves of their signature sourdough bread, and in case you can’t eat an entire one by yourself, you can buy a half or quarter loaf.

They offer other treats, like buns and cookies, but their bread is the star of the show – crisp and floury on the outside, softly chewy on the inside. You can taste their expertise in every bite.

Baking bread is in Apollonia Poilâne’s blood. Her grandfather opened Poilâne Bakery in 1932 in Paris, and her father after him. She now runs the family business, shipping freshly baked loaves directly from Paris to cities all over the world.
