We came here in March 2025 and were impressed with the food and people. Today we brought our friends and nothing is the same. We ordered baguette and they said no butter or jam? Three orders were all mixed up and the servers were hostile or overworked! We subsequently talked to the manager and she took it up with the barista who served us. The next day, we tried again and all worked well this time, just like how it was 6 months ago. read more

There are several brick and mortar locations of this well-known artisan bakery with strong emphasis on sourdough breads, biscuits and tarts throughout Paris. Today I noticed the Eric Kayser food truck was stationary just inside the entrance of the Louvre and a long line was formed by hungry tourists impatiently waiting to try a piece of a famous baker's creations. I chose the fresh baked chocolate chip cookie. For my first bite, the sweetness of the chocolate chips were rich and the cookie itself did not crumble. The cookie was not oversized, although packed a nice sweet punch. It was evident why Eric Kayser's name is prominent in a city where artisan bakeries are on every corner. read more

Service aside - the tarts are incredible. They have a wonderful selection of food - sandwiches, bread, pastries, beverages, etc. the location is conveniently close to the Louvre and the Tuileries Gardens for a quick break. You can get takeaway or sit down for a euro more. It is clean inside and easy to navigate. There are a few locations in the area and are a solid quick meal option - especially this one - service aside. read more

A few years back I had a beautiful croissant from Eric Kaiser at CDG airport. Since then I will try them whenever I run across them. This is a nice store with lots of pretty options from the normal baked goods to really wonderful tarts. They had some egg dishes like a croque monsieur with an egg on top, as well as take away sandwiches, etc. I'm a big fan of the basque style lemon tart (not the regular lemon tart) as well as the apple tart. This branch- croissant was ok but not super flaky at 10:30am which it should still be imo. Pain au chocolate was good. Solid. Service was efficient. read more

First day in Paris fresh off an eight hour flight with nothing but airplane food in my belly, I needed some delicious French food! We dropped our luggage off at the condo and started walking. Eric Kayser was the quick service first place we stumbled upon. We walked in order and then went upstairs to sit down and eat. Now it is very possible that it was because this was my first taste of French bread or I was incredibly hungry or the food is truly delicious but I loved every bite. The only reason I am not giving this one a 5 star is because compared to other spots we ended up going to throughout our trip this spot did not have a big selection and it wasn't as clean. Now it was not dirty and the selection was not small but it wasn't at the level of some of the other similar types of restaurants. If you are looking for a quick bite this is a great option! read more

First day and meal in Paris and we found Eric Kayser Bakery nice and close to were we were staying. I wasn't crazy hungry but had to get a Paris classic. A fresh Baguette with Ham, Cheese, and Butter. You will notice this well be some I have a couple of during our trip. I don't know how they do it but something as simple as ham, cheese, butter, on a fresh baguette is just so much better in Paris then in the states and the prices are always great too. This one was probably 12 to 16 inches and at most was 8 or 9 euros and with the rate at 1:04 euro to 1 dollar you can't beat that. I will say their is a small upgrade if you eat in but also they sandwiches are very easy to eat on the move. read more

Came here early morning before visiting the louvre. We got the quiche and it was cold. They didn't even warm it up even thought we informed them it was dine in. The service, they pretended like they didn't speak any English but the person behind me spoke English and they spoke fine. The chocolate croissant was amazing! read more

We were fed This review is for the outdoor stand by the Louvre. We were looking for some quick food and this looked quick. There were lines, and it really wasn't so quick, but faster than a sitdown restaurant. This Eric Kayser spot also had some tables next to the stand. What I had was their chaud coppa mozzarella, a premade sandwich in a display case. It certainly wasn't great but with the soft bread was easy to eat and served the purpose of getting food into me. I need to stay fueled up to be a functioning tourist. We actually ordered quite a bit of stuff and it was a little confusing as they gave it to us at different times. Not understanding French can complicate things for me, certainly not the fault of the staff preparing the food. Generally speaking, this was what I expected, which was alright with me. read more

Best corner shop croissants in Paris. Hands down. Check them out for the warm buttery goodness that a croissant is supposed to be. Also the pain au chocolate was amazing with espresso. Sit a spell outside at the small tables and people watch. These breads and pastries are made for savoring immediately. read more

Surprisingly amazing croissants for a chain. Best croissants I had during my recent trip to Paris, tried at least 6 different boulangaries.

Great to stop by on your morning walk for some croissants and coffee. Loved going here daily!

Great service fantastic food. I wished they could make gluten-free foo taste this good in the USA

Popular franchise throughout Paris for pastries and baked goods. This location is centrally located near the Louvre. Outdoor sidewalk seating available. No seating on the ground floor. 2nd floor (1st floor European) has the indoor seating. But if you are eating/drinking at the establishment, one would have to bring a tray up to that floor. I wouldn't say it was a remarkable experience. Just an average one in this Parisian environment. I had the Basque lemon tart with espresso. read more

Their pastries are as good as they look. Pain au chocolate is flakey and the chocolate is good quality. I loved their vienoisserie but this is a smaller location with less selection than the bigger locations. A few outdoor tables. read more

Great pastries but rude service. Watch your order because they will forget things. Coffee is separate from where you order and there is usually a breakdown in communication. I speak French and they still couldn't get an americano correct. Go for the pastries and bread but not for the service. When they get the coffee right, it's great. Bring patience. read more

I have heard about this bakery and was pleasantly surprised when we stumbled across it while walking down the streets of Paris. The worker who helped us was nice and spoke English. We got a strawberry tart, chocolate croissant and an eclair. Each pastry we got was good, but I was a fan of the tart the most. The eclair had a coffee-like filling which I did not expect! If I ever go to Paris ever again, I would stop by and try the baguettes as most people I saw went straight for them as they walked in. read more

The breakfast options here were very good. It ranged from pastries to cold sandwiches to pre made sandwiches ready to heat back up. There were dessert options, for those who craves sweets in the morning, and drinks like any cafe. The environment was very relaxing and bright and the staff was helpful and nice. Really enjoyed my time here getting a quick breakfast before heading out. read more

Eric Kayser used to be better when it was not a chain, Eric Kayser is not comparable to Paul, where you can see them everywhere including train station and airport. This is not bad, but there are much better boulangeries in Paris. read more

Visited on a Thursday afternoon. There was a sign pointing upstairs that there was a tea room, so we assumed that meant we could sit and order upstairs. There was a smaller coffee/drinks counter but the worker there said we had to order downstairs? (Maybe it was closed at that time/that day and the upstairs was only being used as a seating area.) So we went back downstairs to order coffees and pastries. The cashier is at one counter and there are other pastries counters. After we paid, there was not much room to stand and wait for the pastries to be gathered and put on trays, coffees to be made, etc., and the line just waiting to recieve their order seemed to be crowding the entrance. We got a chocolate raspberry tart, pain au chocolat, tarte mont blanc, long coffee, cappucino, and hot chocolate. Everything was pretty good, but some of the pastries are definitely on the pricier side. read more

Good fast spot to grab lunch items after a morning in the Louvre and before a picnic in the Tuileries. Salads, sandwiches, chips and drinks. Fresh and healthy sandwiches and all kinds of takeout salads. Premade but made fresh throughout the day. read more

Business is OPEN. Solid breakfast, snack, or sandwich Togo! 4 stars for Togo and 3 stars for stay (They charge about a euro an item to stay and enjoy. This is annoying.) They have a large selection of premise sandwiches and salads. A large selection of fresh breads and pastries. This one is located right outside the Louvre. I'd recommend taking some sandwiches Togo and sitting bringing to park outside the Louvre. I ordered a salmon and broccoli quiche which was fresh. They wanted it in a toaster oven - not a microwave! The tea pot came with a little teaspoon size muffin- cute touch. They gave me free water refill- which was nice. The baguette came with butter- one of my favorites! Coffee american was hot and large. Overall good experience. read more

Pretty much ok. Not really anything to shout across the Parisian rooftops about. I wouldn't cry if I missed it on the way to do something else. There are better and there are worse. Sustenance and a place to park your keister. read more

I had to come here. I've seen Eric Kayser's cookbook. He has many shops here in Paris and other countries. The Apricot & Pistachio Tart was delicious. The granola was just OK. They seem to charge a surcharge of about a euro for each item you consume at the premise. I found it a bit confusing to order food. A lot of people were confused as well. It's a small shop with indoor seating upstairs and outdoor seating. I also ordered two savory dishes. A Pesto Pasta w Artichokes and Carrot Salad w Seaweed? I didn't care for either one. read more

I went to Paris looking to have some of the best sweets I have ever had in my life. Eric Kayser did not disappoint. I tasted everything that you see in the pictures.

If you ever make it to Paris make sure you stop here. read more

Let me start off by saying this was not my first visit to Eric Kayser. Among all the touristy cafe around the Louvre, this cafe always stands out as a less crowded option with amazing pastries and good coffee! Grab a small table outside and you can do the quintessential people viewing in Paris :) read more

Yummy stuff here!! First Paris shop I have ever been to. Super friendly and nice to the beginner speaker who is trying her best to use only French when patronizing. Usually, they understand, but I don't understand WTA they respond with! It's immersion learning... a challenge I accept! read more

For those seeking this place out for their "gluten-free corner" - prepare to be disappointed. Their website makes it look like they have some GF lunch items available but they do not - only cookies and parbaked loaves of bread you can take home. If you are looking for a place for a gluten-free lunch this is not it. But everything else looked delicious and my spouse enjoyed his quiche. And tons of easy (but glutenous) take-away options. read more

My family and I came to this bakery out of convenience, and it was pretty good, to say the least. The interior is spacious and airy, and they have a wide selection of pastries and breads on display. Since we came so early in the morning, everything was pretty fresh. I ordered a quiche, which had a great cheesy filling but I wish the crust was crunchier and flakier. I also ordered a demi baguette, whose crunchy shell locked in the moisture of the inside of the bread well. Overall, there wasn't anything remarkable about this bakery; I could've probably found something similar somewhere else but I don't regret eating here either. Just a convenient spot next to the Louvre. read more

I've been to the Eric Kayser in New York, and this one was pretty similar, except more reasonably priced. We got a baguette, some cheese, charcuterie, pork rillete, and salted butter to share between 3 of us, and it was around €15. The baguette was super fresh and really good. It's too bad they don't have wine. Bathrooms are clean. Visa accepted (no Amex). read more

This is supposed to be the home of the best croissant in Paris. This is quite true but the Almond Croissant is the winner. The butter croissant and airy and fluffy and not overly buttery. The Almond Croissant is chewy, not too sweet and makes you wish you would have ordered two instead of just one. read more

Seeking out the "best" croissant Paris had to offer, I'm embarrassed to say the reviews of Eric Kayser from those FoodTV shows about "The Best Thing I Ever Ate" totally had me intrigued to try out Eric Kayser Well, I'm happy to report that for once, this show didn't steer me wrong - these croissants were AMAZING We ordered Cappuccinos & Croissants & the Mr also got Le Veg sandwich Order downstairs, pay, they'll fix your goodies & put it on a tray for you to take upstairs to their eating area ( it was too cold & wet the morning we visited to eat on the street! ) Coffees were good but small - we ended up ordering 2 more to go. The milk to coffee ratio was okay but not outstanding The Croissant, on the other hand, was incredible! Flaky & buttery & crispy on the outside yet soft & delicate on the inside - words can't describe these pastries. You just have to get 1 ( or a dozen ) for yourself! The Le Veg Sandwich had eggplant, zucchini, tomato & onion - the Mr found it very flavorful and said he would order it again Overall, this was well worth the hunt & we sought out Eric Kayser every morning we were in Paris. Only downer was that we were too late to grab goodies for the trip back home! There may be a Starbucks, 2 doors down but there is NO comparison & no choice! Eric Kayser all the way!!! read more

Eric Kayser - Best croissant ever! - Bakeries Near Me - Paris, 75

Best pain au chocolat in Paris! The croissants, almond pastries, and tarts were all very good as well. This was one of my favorite places in Paris for their wide selection, convenience of locations, acceptance of credit cards, and overall food consistency. I knew I could get great quality here anytime. I would recommend going before 11am though, while there are still more options left (they sell out fast). It's one of the few real chains I found in Paris, but I completely understand why it's allowed to exist as a chain - because it's something so great that it should exist in more than just one location. They take credit card with a 5 Euro minimum. Watch out for the closing time - it may be a good idea in Paris to buy desserts earlier in the day and save them for later because when you get hungry for something sweet this place might already be closed or sold out! read more

This place has the best croissants and pain au chocolat! We popped into this Eric Kayser location pretty much daily during our stay in Paris. It's bright, clean, and the staff is very friendly. Our hotel was only a block over so we'd stop by and grab some goodies to bring back to our room. Try any of their croissant/layered-dough type of products and you won't be disappointed! read more

Stopped here for a grab and go lunch. I wish there were more grab and go places of this quality in the US. They had a pretty large variety of grab and go sandwiches/meals. I went with a pretty basic meat/cheese on baguette. I also bought a box of macaroons to eat later that night after dinner. My friend bought a small lemon cake also. Both of those deserts were awesome. They had so many different types of macaroons too...and tons of other deserts. The staff was very friendly and helpful explaining things to us americans that didnt speak any real French. read more

Came here pretty much every day for breakfast while in Paris! Every morning we'd order the fresh herb omelette, hot chocolate, latte and a croissant! All we're so delicious! One thing I do have to say is on the first day the fresh herb omelette was fantastic and then every day afterwards they would make it differently.. one day no herbs another no bed of arugula .. it was kind of a let down I don't know if there was a miscommunication somewhere but that was the one thing that was disappointing. The bread that came on the side for free every morning was so good I wish I could've taken some home with me somehow!! read more

Food was good...what food we could get! 25 min later we still didn't have our omelettes and this is a fast food spot. Asked for a refund and got total attitude. They didn't refund the taxes or fees though and did it as cash. Skip this location by the Louvre. They don't want your business. read more

This place was pretty close to our hotel and nice looking, which is why we chose to go. But let me tell you, spend your money else where. The service is very rude. There were plenty places to sit inside, but you were not allowed to. The women from behind the cashier would scream at you and give no explanation. Not only for walking up the stairs, a couple other things too. It really ruined the atmosphere. One could overlook that, but it was early in the morning and nearly nothing happening there. It would have been fine, if the food could have made up for that, but honestly: The prices are a little high for mediocre croissants, baguettes, and small coffees. A little walk further down the street makes a world difference! I'd recommend scrolling a little further down on this app to find a better one. There a plenty of great places around! read more

This is a good place to grab some lunch to-go. They have a good selection of sandwiches, drinks, and snacks. I've been buying madeleines and croissants for breakfast, both of which are very rich and delicious. The employees are also pretty nice.

The employees are pretty fast with cleaning the tables to allow other customers to sit down read more

I agree with Marin- this place was just okay. For all the reviews raving about the croissants and pan au chocolate, I have to say they were mediocre. To me, it was similar to what you would get at Starbucks. I know. Meh. We grabbed one of each and some espresso, then parked near a window to people watch. Service was good and the place was clean. I would prefer a mom and pop bakery- these items didn't seem freshly baked despite coming at 10 am. read more
