AI Review Summary
Generated from guest reviews of Stohrer
Visitors are awed by the historic interior as much as the pastries. The rum baba is considered unmissable — authentic, boozy and perfectly done. Staff are knowledgeable about the 300-year history and happy to explain each creation.
The most beautiful pâtisserie interior in Paris. The rum baba is extraordinary — drenched in good rum.
History and taste in equal measure. The puits d'amour custard tart is incredible.
A Paris institution. Reasonable prices for the quality and the atmosphere is unmatched.
