Walking into Grenier feels like walking into a hidden apothecary box. Everything is pretty, in that provincial way. Natural woods and vintage furniture in the attic like space make for a cozy backdrop for the delicate pastries on display.

They have plenty to distract you from your mission: beautiful boxes of sables, shelves of French tea. But what you’re here for is not on display. Their mille-fueille puff pastry squares that are filled with custard and cream are made to order. Imagine the best turnover you’ve ever had, except it isn’t turned over so it’s twice as good. The layers of the pastry are buttery and crisp, and the custard and cream is decadent. Their signature is the brûlée, with the crunchy burnt sugar top, but you know Japanese people don’t play when it comes to seasonal fruit. It’s indulgent, beautiful, and well worth saving room for even in this city full of food.
