Display Allcroissant(21) sandwiche(10) bakery(10) viennoiserie(8) bread(8) baked(7) dessert(7) coffee(7) seating(6) patisserie(6) pain(6) cafe(6)This is my go-to downtown bakery for a quick breakfast, late lunch, grabbing something for a gathering, or just treating myself to a REALLY good dessert. I've tried a bunch of stuff over the past few months, margherita, pepperoni, & vegetarian pizzas, milk bread, chocolatines, croissants, mini donuts, & some desserts that I don't know the names. Cheesecake is one of my favorites here!! They never let me down. The employees are welcoming & nice. My bad I know their faces more than their names, but shout out to Doua!
We stopped in for a quick lunch (sandwiches & dessert). I ordered the pan bagnat, a Nice-style tuna number I've had a thousand times in southern France. Salty, oily, honest.
But this version came with a surprise. Mid-bite, I hit something soft, elastic. I pulled it out, & there it was: a used finger BAND-AID.
Straight from someone else's hand into my mouth.Let that sink in: a BAND-AID. In. My. Sandwich.
To the manager's credit, she didn't flinch. Apologized immediately, reimbursed the entire meal, & told us the food is made off-site in a central kitchen. She assured us she'd raise hell with the supplier. She owned it & I respect that. But even with that responsibility taken, there's no coming back from this.
This wasn't some back-alley food stall in Bangkok where you expect the unexpected. This was a corporate operation (Ange is a chain), a system that's supposed to run with standards & controls. That's what makes it worse. This didn't just slip through the cracks. The cracks are the system.
Nothing has ever turned my stomach like this. Ange Bakery? Never again. Industrial food at its most careless.
The croissant & the lox sandwich were good. Big selection of desserts & baked goods. The coffee was not great. Service was alright. Lots of seating available, but they looked pretty unclean. Inside the hotel so good convenience location.
C'est un bel endroit avec beaucoup de choix de sandwich, pâtisseries, desserts. Les sandwiches sont bons & la tarte au chocolat succulente. Malheureusement, le service m'a déçu. J'aurais aimé qu'on me présente les options selon la formule repas retenue. Le serveur n'était pas coopératif, il démontrait peu d'intérêt à nous servir. Il ne nous a pas indiqué ce qui était compris dans le trio. Il n'a pas demandé si je mangeais sur place. Il a emballé mon dessert dans la même boite que celle de mon collègue sans vérifier auparavant si ça nous convenait. Il ne nous a pas remercié ni salué. C'était franchement décevant.
Excellent bakery! Comfortable space to sit & enjoy the pastry or desserts.
