No view of the Eiffel Tower from the bakery either. However it is very charming. I've never been to France, but outside by the pastry shop is what I've always imagined a sidewalk cafe in France to look like.
There is a fountain in front of the tower, between Chefs de France and the gardens on the right. There are benches or you can sit on the edge of the fountain. Nothing you can reserve, and it could get crowded, but we've often found it a relaxing spot to have a snack and people watch.
