the tastiest pastry with a twist - Edit
i hardly can find vegan pastry these days, and Saint-Jean absolutely won my heart! they have so many different things to eat, both sweet and savoury! as far as i understood there's always big demand and big queues so it's probably better to come visit them when they start working when the choice of pastries is most wide
Read morethere's also another place called Saint-Jean Deli just across the road, and as i understood they have more vegan meals there but the demand is also higher 😅 but the food os definitely worth the possible waiting in line!
Pros: pastries taste like "normal" ones!, big choice of flavours
Cons: big queues

Yum! - Edit
I had a classic croissant and an almost, pistachio and blueberry cruffin, and they did not disappoint. Definitely one of the best vegan croissants ever/anywhere.

Honestly the best pastry I’ve ever had - Edit
We queued for about 10 minutes to get in but it was worth the wait. They offered decaf coffee which was a bonus for me, but the star of the show was the pistachio cruffin. Hands down, it’s the best patty I’ve ever eaten. I’ll be talking about it for a long time
Read morePros: Excellent pastries, Affordable, Great selection
Cons: Had to queue but worth it!

Well worth waiting in line - Edit
Oh my god. Oh my god. I had 4 pastries and each was more delicious and flaky and decadent than the last. The mango cruffin and lemon curd filled pastries were my personal favorites. It’s out of the way and we had to wait 15 mins in line, but there’s no limit on what you can buy and they were bringing out fresh pastries all the time. Absolutely incredible
Read morePros: Outstanding pastries, Pretty reasonably priced , Friendly service
Cons: Kind of out of the way, You have to wait in line

Nice pastry - Edit
There weren't that many options for pastry (3) although it was still early afternoon. I was hoping for more options.
Read moreA handfull of seating places, very cramped together, so that was not really comfortable (and not accessible - stairs going up).
Very friendly. Bright place.

Worth the hype - Edit
There was a terribly long line out the door, even though I visited on a rainy day. Luckily, it moved quite quickly. They kept on bringing out new pastries so everything was still in stock when I visited (around 12:30 pm). I’ve had vegan pastries like croissants, pain-au-chocolates and danishes before so I opted for the Pear Hazelnut Bostok to-go. I warmed it up and ate it the next day and it still tasted really good. Them already double-baking it keeps it from becoming dry. Though it’s definitely pricey and therefore only an occasional treat, I will definitely be visiting again (that salted pistachio soft serve is still high up on my list).
Read moreOh and; please be respectful to the staff and don’t take pictures of them if they ask you not to. As someone who works in the service industry, it is really quite annoying and makes us uncomfortable. Thank you🫶
Pros: Delicious and unique pastries, Kind staff that really care about the experience.
Cons: Busy

Busy, busy - Edit
Visited this place and the line was out the door! Once inside, I had a hard time deciding what to try. I eventually settled on the Bostok Raspberry Pistachio and a pea latte, which I had never had before. It was quite good.

Delicious - Edit
Absolutely delicious pastries! I got the pistachio cruffin and the pain au chocolat. They were flaky, buttery and super filling. I loved that everything was vegan but you’d never know, their marketing was subtle.
Read moreNote: Eat the cruffin dining in and not as takeout. There aren’t many places to sit, so we had to eat it while walking and it had x10 more pistachio cream inside than I was expecting and it got absolutely everywhere 😂
There was a line when we arrived, but it moved quickly. I didn’t realize until after but they’ve got 2 locations across the street from each other, one with more sweet treat and the other with more savoury.

To die for oh my GOD - Edit
I had quite possibly the best meal of my life here, if a pastry counts as a meal. I was sooo blown away by this place - so chic and stylish and not in your face about being vegan. My non vegan (and skeptical) mother was also absolutely blown away. Have my funeral here!!
