GO HERE: to bake like a Parisian. The old-school shelves are stocked floor to ceiling with every type of sugar, paste, chocolate, and extract you might need. The French pronunciation of its name is a play on words for “I have everything.” They’re not kidding.
GET THE: head-scratchingly affordable bags of Madagascar vanilla beans, Iranian pistachios, vanilla powder, decorating sugars, Edmond Fallot mustard.
THE VIBE IS: more chill corner grocery than every pâtissier’s fantasy.
PRACTICAL STUFF: Open 8:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m., Monday to Saturday; combine this with a trip to nearby E. Dehillerin.
