This establishment garnered a significant following owing to its esteemed reputation as one of the pioneering purveyors of Mont Blanc desserts. Upon arrival, we immediately observed the extensive queue winding around the building, a testament to its popularity. Despite the daunting prospect of a lengthy wait, our determination to experience Angelina's offerings propelled us forward. Remarkably, the line progressed swiftly, mitigating the perceived duration of our wait. Welcoming and attentive staff provided an opportunity to appreciate the interior ambiance before seating us. While a preference for a more spacious table along the perimeter was noted, we found ourselves accommodated at a compact central arrangement. Opting to explore the savory menu offerings, I indulged in the summer squash ravioli adorned with parmesan sauce and truffle oil--an exquisite culinary delight that surpassed my expectations. Even the Fish and Chips, despite my usual aversion to seafood, impressed with its robust seasoning and harmonious flavors. The Mont Blanc dessert, a culinary masterpiece, boasted a unique twist from previous encounters, albeit retaining its delightful essence. Its sweetness encouraged the pairing with tea, balancing the flavors impeccably. Additionally, the Choux Puff emerged as another standout, further cementing this establishment's status as a must-visit destination during future excursions to Paris.

Our visit to Angelina was amazing. The hot chocolate is, of course, the most famous item on the menu, and it lives up to that reputation. The attention to detail and spectacular service is truly amazing. All of the food items from the croissants to the jams to the fluffy scrambled eggswere absolutely scrumptious. It would be wonderful to live like this every day

We arrived an hour before closing of the Cafe and were told that its closed and we can only buy something at the counter. An hour before closing there was no coffee anymore and were left with no choice but to buy hot chocolate and we also purchased macaroons, 2 tins of their tea and cakes. I asked for a certain kind of tea and was told its not in stoke. When we paid and were walking out, the second counter (literally 3 meters away from the one we paid) had boxes of that kind of the tea. While the clerk was assembling our staff, the manager was constantly interrupting him with store closing instructions and other directions not related to our purchase. At some point u stood with my credit card out in my hand waiting for that manager to finish giving instructions to that clerk and finally give me a minute of his time to accept my payment. The worse customer service service and the one worse then that was at their other location at the Louvre. Delicious hot chocolate and ok cakes/macaroons, very expensive - definitely not worth of experience of the worse customer service in Earth!
