One of our favorite restaurants there is Cafe Constant, http://www.cafeconstant.com/1.aspx
It is the baby bisto created by Christian Constant. He has some other really good restaurants in the 7ths as well:
This is his flagship high end place:

We like the casualness of Cafe Constant and the price point

If you are in Paris now, do you really need our advice about a bakery? Haven't you explored and experimented?
My favorite places to dine in the 7ème are Le Florimond, Café Constant, La Fontaine de Mars, Punjab, and Pizza Tina. Worst is Café du Marché on rue Cler.

We just had a baby, just arrived and we are tired. We wanted a quite area. I did not have enough time to do research for this trip. From what I have read.... Paris is unique to all tastes. We just need some advice. Thanks!

I will be staying in the 7th this Fall (I know, I know Kerouac)...we hear great things about Le Florimond, La Taverna and Pasco's as well as Cafe Constant and Les Cocottes (Christian Constant places on rue St Dominique). Also, Au Petit Sud Ouest.
Bread/Pastries:
Les Champs des delices on rue St Dominique
Millet Many on rue St Dominique-pastries
Boulangerie Patisserie Menardin on rue Grenelle
all came recommended to us, also Le Notre (it is a chain)
have a great trip

I don't stay in the 7th, but if you are in a quasi-residential area, there should be a bakery within several blocks, probably 6-8 at most. But the arrondisement is large (as most are), so people can't really recommend one that would be convenient without knowing your address. I never ask people where they are, I just find one when I'm walking around wherever I'm staying without much trouble.
Just give an address and someone probably can name a bakery if you can't see one around your place.
What kind of puppets do you want? I'm never sure what people are thinking about when they ask about puppets, whether just hand sock things, marrionettes with strings, or something else. But here is a shop on Ile St Louis known for that general type of thing http://www.clairdereve.com/
YOu could also go to the Doll Museum as they have a shop and might have something http://www.museedelapoupeeparis.com
This is a kids' bookstore near where I usually stay and I think they have some puppets http://www.herberouge.com/
I imagine a lot of toy stores probably have them, also, not just specialty stores.

Oh, but the western part of the 7th is so full of niceness and charm!! And the ET views, of course! So much around..could never become bored.
Great Paris neighborhoods for all to find just the one that suits each of us...and then'visit'the others!
Take what you want from rue Cler, as I do, or any of the other market streets in Paris for that matter. I do like the r. Cler brocante which I will get to again while there.
a bientot...

Thanks for the advice. The places just around us didn't impress me so I was hoping for Favorties from people. I would like to say though, when someone asks for advice, you could simply be kind and give it.....I don't need travel lectures . I appreciate those of you who left some!

In another discussion, DebitNM very kindly gave the site below-perhaps that would help:

Good luck and sorry about the lack of responses.
