La Boulangerie de Paris - Machupicchu

After four days of hiking the Salkantay Trek, as good French travelers, we were craving something comforting and searched for a “boulangerie” on Google Maps. La Boulangerie de Paris was a delightful surprise for such a remote location. We stopped for a well-deserved goûter, ordering two frappés and two Nutella waffles, which were absolutely delicious. The friends we made during the trek joined us as well, crowding the small space, but the staff was incredibly kind and accommodating. Together, we tried a variety of items: cookies, Danish bread (which could have used a bit more cream), maracuya cheesecake, burgers, fries, Nutella and cheese crêpes, and more frappés. Everything—except for the Danish bread—was truly excellent. To be fair, I may be slightly biased as a Frenchman, and a very hungry one on this occasion, but this spot really hit the mark after days of rice and chicken. Highly recommended if you’re in Aguas Calientes before or after visiting Machu Picchu.

Nestled in the charming town of Aguas Calientes, La Boulangerie de Paris is a delightful gem that every traveler should visit. This quaint coffee shop, conveniently located near the train station and just across the bridge, offers a perfect spot to relax and enjoy some of the best pastries and beverages. Upon entering, you're greeted by the irresistible aroma of freshly baked croissants and rich coffee. The croissants here are simply divine, with a perfect balance of flakiness and buttery goodness. The pain au chocolat, in particular, stands out as one of the best I've ever had – it's an absolute must-try. The coffee is equally impressive, providing a robust and smooth complement to the pastries. For those who prefer a lighter refreshment, the juice options are fresh and invigorating, offering a delightful burst of flavor. La Boulangerie de Paris's location is another highlight. Being so close to the train station makes it a convenient stop for both arriving and departing travelers. Despite Aguas Calientes being a small town, this café is easy to find and definitely worth the visit.

Great little spot for eating before heading to Machu Picchu. Food was amazing. The service was actually prompt and accurate. Friendly people. We had Fidel helping us and Janet. We actually came back twice in one day cus our son loved the crepe with Nutella. Great experience. 10/10 recommend.

Food and vibe was good. Tourist prices which is expected in the area. Eggs and croissant were as expected, Nutella crepe was very good. Service - they forgot one of our orders, messed up my order, took away our coffee before finishing, up charge 20 soles for two people to use a credit card.

This place is fantastic particularly if you are yearning for a western style cafe that is EG particularly Australian / USA / French. Fantastic waffles crapes the breakfast is completely authentic scrambled eggs etc. Staff are terrific. Highly recommended.

We bought sandwiches, empanadas y banana bread and everything was very tasty. Special award to the banana bread that was delicious.

Great food and great atmosphere. Margot our server was very sweet and accommodated our requests.

This is your place if you want to enjoy delicious ice cream and desserts. Luz and Nathy were very nice and pleasant. We are coming back on our next visit to Machu Picchu Pueblo.
