Patisserie Poupon

This is a solid little cafe in Georgetown. I've tried them a few times, and I'd say the item I've liked best is the quiche! It has such a lovely, custardy texture and doesn't skimp on the cheese. The almond and chocolate croissants aren't my favorite in DC, but they're not bad either, and the only things I've disliked so far has been their King Cake (a little bland - not as rich and buttery as I expected) and their pain aux raisins (a little too dry for me). I don't think it's the best French bakery in DC, but it's solid enough - especially for savory items - and I wouldn't hesitate to stop in for a quiche when I'm in the neighborhood. I'd be curious to try their coffee in the future as well!

I've been a fan of Patisserie Poupon since visiting their Baltimore location almost ten years ago. Excited to visit their location in Georgetown and also to find they're participating in the Too Good To Go program to reduce food waste. I picked up two boxes of surplus baked goods for a steal. Will def be back and would have no qualms paying full price for these delicious and delicate French pastries.

I enjoyed a wonderful almond croissant and a medium cafe Americano. Today was the first time that I had been here, and I would characterize it as Georgetown quaint. I wouldn't call it hoytie toytie, but it's certainly close. They offer a decent selection of danishes, croissants, and turnovers. Additionally they also have various lunch sandwiches and baguettes that look delicious. The service was personable and fast, although when I came this afternoon there weren't any other customers who were waiting to order. The croissant was good, and I am sure that it was prepared this morning at the same location. This cafe is nice and I am sure it's ambiance is appealing to most of the residents of Georgetown.

Top tier croissant. I would return to try the sandwiches, and get more croissants. I would have appreciated the offer to toast/warm my croissant since i said i was dining in. They just tossed a cold one on a plate... i had to ask them to warm it. Anyway, quality patisserie, it seems.

The shop is located in nice spot in Georgetown. Lounge chairs, tables and dining chairs are set up outside in the front of the building so you can absorb some sun rays or people watch. Tables and chairs are provided in the cafe and there is a quiet little garden space in the back of the cafe. I ordered a cortado which was on the menu. The barista didn't seem to know the difference between a cortado and a macchiato. She added a dash of steamed milk to my cup, handed it to me then asked if I wanted more milk. I was in a hurry so I just took the drink. Thankfully, the shop uses Illy coffee beans so it wasn't a terrible espresso drink. It just wasn't what I ordered or what I was in the mood for. I didn't have a terrible experience, but in the future I would likely walk a few more blocks to Compass or Georgetown Coffee for coffee.

I ordered a turkey on half baguette which I believe is $12 or less and a drip coffee. Lady at the register distracted, charges me $67.76 including 20% tip. I questioned the bill amount and asked to see a printed receipt as I need readers to see the screen. She acted insulted. There were no tables only standing room at the coffee bar. The cashier passed me and I asked a second time for the receipt, which then a different woman brought to me with the explanation that they reversed the extra charge, but no receipt for this. My online card shows $24.75 credit so my total for the dry not fresh bread tiny sandwich and black coffee was $43.01. The bakery is cute and popular. This is close to my new office but I won't return.

Boy, I don't know what to say. I haven't been here in years, and I just dont think it stacks up to competition these days. The coffee was fine, but nothing great. The croissants were on the bad side of "meh" (I tried plain and almond). I believe they are more known for their cakes, so if that's what you're looking for, give it a shot. Otherwise, I'm much happier at Christophe.

Long-standing authentic French patisserie plucked from Paris to DC. Fresh, simple, understated

The eclair, espresso, and macarons were all delicious and well priced. The service was nice enough and the French decorations made nice atmosphere for enjoying macarons and eclair.

We ordered an engagement cake. The cake was delicious and was ready on time. The service was also very good, and the price was reasonable!
