Historic Paris patisserie delivering excellent classic pastries (notably rum baba and flan) with takeaway-only service; quality shines, but service warmth varies and there is no seating.
Stohrer delivers exceptional pastry quality—the rum baba with chantilly and silky flan are justifiably legendary—with charming historic appeal on Rue Montorgueil. However, inconsistent counter service and no seating accommodation limit the experience to quick visits rather than destination dining, preventing a higher grade despite the iconic reputation.
One caveat: Service warmth varies; several reports of rudeness or being skipped in line, though many encounters are efficient or friendly
