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

Looking for a cheap and quick meal in Paris? Eric Kayser does the job. I was wondering if this place was related to Maison Kayser in NYC and it is! This place is also conveniently located near the Louvre, so you can stop by here for a quick meal before or after going to the Louvre. The Louvre is big and you will be doing lots of walking and ducking from tourists, so this is a great place to recharge! There is ready made food- cold sandwiches, and salads. I opted for a kebob sandwich in the display case, which they heated up for me. For a few extra dollars, you can get desert and a drink. Of course, I couldn't say no to desert. I opted for a fruit tart. The people who work here do speak good English (yay) and the food was delicious!!! Definitely a great place to go for a quick and cheap meal! read more

Another Kayser institute with seatings outside and also upstairs. A lot of choices and formulas to choose from. Extra charge for eating in but still worth it to take a rest and toilet break. We paid €9.70 for a sandwich, drink and dessert. Chicken with sundried tomato baguette was delicious as the bread quality is always top notch, and our dessert was a chocolate tart which looks petit but packs a punch. The chocolate was thick and rich and the crust, buttery. read more

Eric Kayser - Bakeries Near Me - Paris, 75

The store layout is bright and airy. There are not a lot of selections in terms of drinks as many of them are carbonated or sugary juice drinks. I walked in looking for some upscale, healthier alternatives, otherwise I would come here for the pastries sweet or savory and then get a coffee from next door at Starbucks! read more

This is one of my favorite little bakeries! It is situated so close to the Tuileries. Breakfast in Paris should be enjoyed outside whenever possible!! They do sell gluten free bread, fruit cake, cookies, and some prepared sandwiches. Sadly no baguettes or croissant (bummer!). Hot chocolate is amazing!! My husband loves the Brie and ham sandwich they make (and heat up for you). The drinks can get expensive (3-5€), so it's always nice to have some of your own water! This can make for a delicious, and affordable, meal in Paris, when you're trying to keep your vacation on a budget! (As I was!) read more

We came into Eric Kayser by chance, avoiding the rain and needing lunch. What a lovely bit of happenstance! It was delicious! They offer a nice lunch deal of a baguette sandwich, dessert (from the refrigerated selection) and drink. One of the best priced lunches we had in Paris and really very good. My creme brulee dessert was a bit bland, but the mister's creme caramel was delicious. The sandwiches were great - on marvelous bread - and the service was very good. If I hadn't stuffed myself full, I would've loved to try something from the pastry counter as well! read more

Absolutely in love with this place and its sandwiches. Their ham and cheese baguette was SO good that we still think about it and dream about it and hope to go back to Paris to eat it. place is a little pricey but the quality of food is very good and the store is nice and clean and the staff is helpful. Hope someone would fly me back a sandwich :) read more

Can't go wrong here. Love the baguettes, love the coffee, love the pastries. Friendly staff. I was looking for a particular pastry called St Honoré cake, and they didn't have it (I was hoping they would, since they are right next to Rue St Honoré) but the guy behind the counter told me a few places where I could find it. Very helpful. read more

Delicious breakfast! The orange juice and espresso were very flavorful. The croissants and viennoise pastries were a great representation of why Parisian food is better than American food. Not overly sweet, not overly greasy, just right! read more

The best baked goods ever Great omlettes Superb coffee Professional staff We were there every day ! read more

A wonderful place just across the street from the Louvre. Fantastic selections and superb quality. Great pastries and coffee. Considering the price of every other place in the neighborhood, this one is a gem. Very reasonable. read more

Oh man ... This place is so good!! The bread is so soft and had a delightful taste. We ate here 3 times in two days and will likely come back for more! The girls working there are so polite and speak English really well. It is very busy at lunch, but they have so many boxed salads/sandwiches/desserts you can just grab and go! read more

We did a croissant taste off. We sampled every croissant within a mile of our Airbnb. There were about five that we sampled. This was our favorite. They usually had a good selection and often did not run out. But some days after 11 they were out ofregular croissants. They were open every day, including Sunday and holidays. The staff was always kind and polite. Overall, good croissants, including the chocolate ones. read more

After spending the morning exploring the Tuileries Garden, my husband and I had a great lunch at Eric Kayser (Rue de l'Échelle). The prices are a little more expensive than your typical Paris boulangerie but the quality and tastiness of the food is well worth it. This location has an upstairs dining area that is ideal for a cheap-n-cheerful lunch. It's a little confusion when you first enter as to where to order and how/where to pay but we just went with it and it all worked out. A great casual (and quick) lunch place near the Louvre/Tuileries Garden. read more

Okay, you guys are tired after a long and extended day across the block in the Louvre, this is the quick fix. Get a quick salad, croissant, and cut of Cappuccino will take your hard earned Euro down about EU$14 something or USD$15ish. See posted pix with receipt. It's a bit pricey for such "OK" cafe. You can sit out side, but do keep your eyes on your belongings at ALL times, and if you find the weather and other patrons willing to share table and chairs with you. Or plan B, hold on to your Maslow baseline instincts and go to Fauchon and spend twice the cost. Depends on how blessed on your finance. read more

Coffee is nothing to write home about and comes from the same machine that airport lounges use - so perhaps the starbucks next door might actually be a better value and standard. The croissant was standard, nothing to write about. Since it is next to the louvre, it is situated as a place especially for tourists. If you lower your standards for what is tasty and a good value for the price, this place will give you a good place to sit and relax while eating a pastry or dessert. I would pass on the coffee or just expect it as an overpriced mediocre resting spot. read more

Although this Eric Kayser is smaller than most, it's open to Sundays. You'll quickly learn while living in Paris that good pastries on a Sunday is more of a challenge. Head here to get your morning coffee and pastry and you won't be disappointed by the people and food that's here. read more

Pick-up-and-go type of place. Boyfriend and I were trying to find really good Paris baguettes that were quick and easy around this area. We would take our sandwiches to the Louvre and people watch by the fountains. You select your pre-made baguette sandwich from the fridge and any pastries or drinks, bring it to the register and checkout. The place was quite busy with people bustling in and out. The sandwiches we got were good but not amazing. I would definitely go again for a quick and affordable lunch/ snack. read more

Perfect place to grab a croissant for breakfast or sandwich for snack/lunch. Their pain au chocolat is delicious and their jambon and butter sandwiches are the perfect. They also have a bunch of locations so whether you're on the left or right bank, there's always one nearby. read more

Asked for an americano... got giant glass cups with coffee. Asked for small cups and they made it seem like a catastrophe!

Best financier pistache and pain aux raisins! Service is a little snobbish but they have the freshest and most reasonably priced baked goods! read more

I absolutely loved waking up in the morning and walking to this bakery! Everyone is really nice and there's usually someone who speaks English. The macaroons are too die for! The croissants are delicious with Nutella...uhh my mouth is watering!!! I tried a couple of their other pastries and have to admit it was all great! Can't wait to go back one of these days. read more

Do not eat here if you have allergies. Although the ingredients and allergens are listed, when I went to eat the slice of quiche I had ordered, there were pine nuts in it which were NOT listed in the ingredients or allergens. They told me the chef had decided to add the pine nuts. Very dangerous. Although they did replace my meal for free, I will not be returning here. read more

Best Chocolate pastry ever is all I can say. Went here 3 times, only once did I have any issue with not being able to Speak much French, but food is universal...also it was inexpensive, $2.00 for a fancy almond chocolate pastry, cheap compared to others I tried in town. read more

Nice environment near the Louvre. Came for a quick bite and rest before heading to the next adventure. Descent price and food.

Sooooo many options! I wish I could give this five stars but I had to knock one off because the coffee was horrible - watery and barely drinkable. read more

We walked 20 minutes to try this place. We arrived at 7:50 and they were not supposed to close until 8:30. They said that we could not order coffee or tea even to take away bc they already cleaned the machine. We ordered a small baguette to go, but it was dry and unimpressive. It looked like it might have been a really nice place if you arrive over an hour before closing time. read more

Poor service. Noisy. Expensive. Tea made with luke warm water. Pastries of mediocre quality. I certainly don't recommend this place.

Wow. Had the best pastry ever from here. It was like an almond danish. So beyond delicious. The sandwiches were really good as well- the bread was out of this world! So happy to hear they have a spot in UES of NY although I doubt it can top the bakeries in Paris! read more

On a miserable Saturday afternoon when I was attempting to get in my pilgrimage to the Louvre, I realized that I would never survive the experience without a full belly. The problem was, I knew that just about anything right outside of one of the biggest tourist attractions in Paris would be a colossal rip-off, very crowded, or both. I was also well past the point of hangry, which was only exacerbated by the rain, and was therefore short on patience or desire to travel very far to eat. Thank God for International Data Plans, so I could whip out my phone, check Yelp, and find this. The kind of place where you can grab a quick and decent sandwich, salad, and/or pastry is pretty abundant in Europe, for which I am so grateful. This was exactly what I needed--a ham and cheese baguette, side salad, and something sweet to eat while I re-composed myself for an afternoon at the museums. The first floor with the bakery counter, sandwich coolers, and cash registers is not very big by U.S. standards, but keep in mind that there is a second floor with tables. And also keep in mind-that's not very big either! Remember, this is Paris. But at any rate, it was the perfect port in a storm. Warm, bright, and yeah, the meal set me back about 15 Euros, but it was good and satisfying. It even had a teeny little bathroom that I didn't have to pay for, bonus! This is a good place to duck into for a quick meal before going to the nearby attractions. read more

Stopped by here for breakfast one morning...really good lattes and cappuccinos. Also their pastries were delicious. One cappuccino and two pastries later I was happy and it only cost about 4 euro! read more

Good in general...but I thought it was overpriced and overrated. Would come back again but I wouldn't feel I missed much if I don't come back again. read more
