“ A friend recommended this place. My husband and I came here after seeing the Eiffel Tower. There seems to always be a long line halfway down the block. I commend the host and hostess for trying to get groups seated efficiently even in pouring rain. It's definitely crowded with little space but the hot chocolate and pastries are worth the wait. I've never had such rich hot chocolate before. It's definitely a must when in Paris. I really liked my husbands crepe with strawberries ! ”

“ The hype was real and this place lived up to the expectations!!! The wait wasn't really bad as many have suggested. Maybe because of the season being cold and we wanting to sit outside for the pictures we got to go in front of others. The coffee all of it was really good and the chocolate carette was amazing. Got to come twice to try different things and everything was great. Last thing word of caution the service best way I can describe is different, but after a few days in Paris we got to learn and accept the culture is different. Not bad, but you have to adjust. ”

“ Always worth the hype. The hot chocolate has been earth shattering to me ever since 2022 when I first had it. It's the kind that makes you crave a European hot chocolate when you're at home. Macarons are also thumbs up! I think one time back during my first trip, they saw me carry a Laduree bag and looked at it in disgust and said "ours are better". Two years later, I'm still not sure about that, but one thing that's taught me is that there *are* better macarons than Laduree and Pierre Herme. So give them a try! We waited about 20 minutes around 7pm but got seated earlier since we're New Yorkers and don't mind the cold. Service was speedy! ”

“ I waited in line for 45 minutes to be seated and I have zero regrets. In fact, I would've waited longer if I had to because Carette was one of my favorite experiences while in Paris. When my friend and I were seated at a table, our server was very friendly and welcoming. We ordered the famous Carette hot chocolate for two, crepes, and some of their macarons. When everything was brought to our table, our server placed everything so delicately, before pouring hot chocolate from the kettle into each of our teacups. It was picturesque, and such an exemplary level of service. Once I tried the hot chocolate, it was love at first sip. I had never in my life had a hot chocolate that was as creamy and delicious as this one. Then there's the whipped cream which was absolute perfection. The crepes and macarons were also delicious, but the true winner was the hot chocolate. If you plan to visit Carette, be prepared for a long line, but know that it's very much worth it! There is typically not a long line or wait for takeaway, you can walk right in and order at the counter in the back. I returned the following day to order a hot chocolate with whipped cream for my stroll around Paris and it was just as delicious as the dine-in one. I would highly recommend adding Carette to your Paris itinerary, you might end up like me and be back again within 24 hours! ”

“ I came here at the behest of a tik tok which promised to transport me to my coquette era. It did! This spot is nothing but tourist but it has all the Parisian feels. I ordered the hot chocolate, latte, club sandwich, flan & croissants. It was all delicious and this place gets my vote for best hot chocolate. I've added this place to my Paris must go spots! There is a long line that forms but it goes by fast. I waited about 30 minutes. There were a lot of pastries I wanted to try so I'll definitely be back! ”

“ A must when in Paris! This location has a million dollar view of the Eiffel tower while sipping the most delicious chocolate milk you'll ever taste. The croissant was the best version we tasted in Paris. Sooo buttery, flaky on the outside but moist on the inside. If only the lines are not too long I would have eaten here everyday. They are probably the busiest cafe in Paris but their service is straightforward. Order what you like and when you're done you have to call them. The waiters will not come to you after they serve you your order so be prepared to let them know everything you need when they approach you. ”

“ The hot chocolate is what they are known for. It is very rich but delicious. Their desserts are average. There is always a queue so expect a wait. Just a short walk from Trocadero. ”

“ We came here after watching the sunset and taking pics of the Eifel Tower from Trocadero. As expected, per the reviews we read, this place did not disappoint. I believe i found the best hot chocolate here with the flavor perfection i could not believe and having the perfect texture! It def paired well with the croissant. Hubby ordered an omelette which he mentioned was delightful. This get packed as well as it is in front of the Trocadero, so it gets the traffic. We sat outside which was perfect, we were able to people watch and just enjoy the morning. There is a display of a variety of pastries inside which we didn't get to try as we were so full but this will is already bookmarked for the next trip! ”

“ Wow! Just wow! The most delicious hot chocolate ever... and I paired it with a pan chocolat. It was a sweet and yummy breakfast with a view. Tables are extra tight here but people want to get a hot chocolate so it's not surprising! Service was fine, they were quite busy! ”

“ I went early morning on a weekday with no wait! Place was empty and was easy to get a seat. I ordered a pain au chocolate, orange juice, scrambled eggs, and their famous hot chocolate with cream! The hot chocolate was rich, decadent, and delicious paired with the cream. Their eggs were soft, creamy, and buttery in taste. Orange juice tasted freshly squeezed while the pain au chocolate was just okay. Overall would definitely come back for their hot chocolate! ”
