I stayed near this bakery and walked by it so many times, practically drooling. The pastries here look absolutely divine, and I can attest that they taste almost as good as they look. I got a few things here during my time -- I wasn't able to try any of the savory bread, but I did indulge in fruit tarts, cookies, eclairs, and croissants. All were such a hit. It's a small shop but has some of the best pastries ever. I only wish I had been able to try their sandwiches or baguette -- next time (;. read more

This was a bomb cafe in Paris! They had such variety of baguette sandwiches to order and a lot of baked goods including the chocolate chip cookie croissant. Both our sandwiches were delicious and our server was accommodating to us being annoying tourists lol. The salmon inside of my sandwich was so fresh! I thoroughly enjoyed it. The ambiance is very intimate and there is little seating but still comfy enough if you want to stay and eat your food. read more

Had lunch with our guide here on our trip to Paris. Great pastries and a great place to people watch. Our guide did all the ordering and everything was delicious. read more

My family and I visited Paris for our first time. I've read recommendations to come here and was not disappointed. Despite not speaking perfect French the staff was kind and patient. We ordered the pear tart and a raspberry tart. Both were delicious. Unlike American pastries that border on cloying, these French pastries were subtly sweet and tasted more of the fruit that was nicely balanced with the custard underneath. The café lattes were also delicious, paired nicely with the desserts. read more

This place was recommended to us by our tour guide. When we arrived there were a lot of people inside. The atmosphere was chaotic. There was no menu board so people were trying to struggle to get a view of the counter. There were four people behind the counter fulfilling the orders who caused most the chaos. Inside of fulfilling one order at a time. No one knew who was working on what order until another worker came on the scene and very quickly got things under control. Once I finally got my order, the sandwich's were good and the chocolate croissants were just okay. read more

Just walked by here and stopped in cause the bread smelled so good. Great pastries, I had a chocolate covered tart with raspberries, and espresso and we took a sandwich to go which I ate on a bench like the Paris of my dreams. Not overly pricey, you have to speak up to get your order in but, it's worth whatever wait you need. read more

Best way to enjoy these boulangerie is to walk there early in the morning so the bread is fresh out of the oven. We got there around 7 each morning on our way to the metro and our day's adventure. We ordered and shared 2 fresh, warm baguettes. They also have fresh made sweets, like berry tarts or mousse or other lovelies, and sometimes the kids ordered one or two to share. We walked next door to the farmers market and picked up some fresh cheese--ordered by weight--and slathered the cheese onto the warm baguette. Heavenly breakfast! Really I will never have a baguette in America that is like a French baguette. Such a lovely start to the day. read more

Had my hotel not had free breakfast I probably would have had this more often as it was walking distance. on my last morning I ordered a quiche Lorraine. it was sublime! because sometimes you feel a little French AND a little American:) I took it to go and ate it with a cafe latte at a busy Starbucks with a nice outdoor seating area down the road. It.was buttery and delicious. Wish I had found this place earlier! read more

Just note this place open at 7.30 AM. We came here today at 7 and they weren't opened yet. The other store which is 3 stores away opened. We got the chocolate croissant and hmm.. some apple pastry with coffee. Let me tell you, I'm not a fan of chocolate, but after my first bite, it changed my chocolate croissant perspective! It was flaky, buttery, not overly sweet, ah! We will def come back before we leave Paris read more

Nice place to grab some great looking desserts. Close to our hotel. Colorful and busy read more

Boulangerie and Pattiserie Extraordinaire! Around the corner from Boulevard Saint Germain you will find this quintessential bakery shop. Eric Kayser is renowned, and his baguettes have been voted as among the best in Paris, and we agree. The chocolate eclairs are a dream as well. read more

This was basically my breakfast everyday in Paris. I ordered the sandwich "mixte." It consisted of ham, cheese, and butter. So simple, yet so good. I will say, after 3 days of eating this as my breakfast, I thought I would gain weight. But! Keep in mind you walk so much in Paris so I basically burned it off. Woohoo! read more

This bakery is top-notch I had quite a few items but my favorite was a seeded bread sandwich that had salmon in it and damn that was so good I still dream about it. If you run in to this place be sure and get the salmon sandwich and try and resist all the other delectible items because you'll want one of everything. read more

My favorite croissant in Paris. Flaky, buttery, and absolutely decadent. There was a long line for service at this bakery and I would wait in it again and again for the opportunity to shove one of these croissants in my face. My mother had a brie and butter baguette that I tried and it was also mouth watering. *Terminator voice* I'll be back. read more

A very big, nicer bakery that has locations all throughout Paris. Great place to sit and grab breakfast. I tried the croissant and ham and cheese quiche (comes with a baguette roll). Both were very good but did not blow my mind. They were a lot more pricier then other small bakeries. I think you can find the same great quality of pastry for cheaper all over Paris. read more

Eric Kayser - Croissant, Ham and Cheese Quiche, & Baguette Roll - Bakeries Near Me - Paris, 75

expensive - yes. Quality -- great! my husband ordered a coffee eclair. Lets just say till this day I am still thinking about it (and we went in sept 2013). the eclair was so light, the flavor was super strong -- it is perfect for coffee lovers. The eclair wasn't too sweet either. I only wish the eclair was bigger. I also wish i went back and got another one. read more

Excellent bakery chain that lives up to the Yelp hype. I went to several locations of EK while I was in Paris for bread, pastries and lunch. They have the best almond croissants I've ever had (and maybe that had something to do with it being a CHOCOLATE almond croissant). I grabbed a ham and cheese sandwich on a baguette for lunch one day. It was perfect in its simplicity. You can also ask them to press whichever sandwich you choose. The eclair I had was good, but didn't blow me away. Note: if you opt to dine in rather than take away, you will be charged more for the items you purchase. This is the case if you see 2 prices on the same item. read more

LOVE!!! SOOO GOOD! The sandwiches here are absolutely delicious. I think we stopped by an Eric Kayser everyday for a quick snack. Brie Sandwhich - Very tasty! The brie and baguette was super fresh and I can't belive the combination went so well. I don't remember if there was mix greens or arugula, but the sandwhich was very good. I would definitely recommend getting this (esp. in Paris!). Foie gras Sandwhich - We tried this (shared it w/my husband), and I wasn't really a fan. I expected a little more given that we were in Paris.. and they are known for their foie gras, but I guess we can't really complain since I assume Eric Kayser is the equivalent of our Au Bon Pain. I didn't see this sandwhich at all the Eric Kaysers in Paris so would recommend trying if you get a chance. They have assortments of cured meat sandwhiches and all of them are very delicious. I think the prosciutto one w/black sesame was my favorite. A few things to note: - They have a combo deal where you can get a sandwhich, drink, and dessert (the pastries here are reallly good!) for a better price than just getting a sandwhich and drink separately. Of course, we didn't realize until the last day! - The chocolate croissant was really good here! read more

This French bakery is absolutely delicious! It is a bit pricey, but I think it is well worth spending a little extra for their pastries. Come in at 8am for short lines and fresh out of the oven pastries. They have a white chocolate bread that is amazing because they bake the little pieces of sweetness into the bread. The baguette also tastes great and it's only 1 euro. Trying to order anything I couldn't point to was a nightmare because I couldn't speak French. I ordered something incorrectly and tried to correct the order. By the time I had it fixed, a long line had already formed behind me because that is how popular this place is. Just a short story from a bewildered tourist and hoping you can save yourself from that embarrassment. read more

I was lucky enough to be staying near this bakery and the smell of the wonderful bread baking made me come in. At first I was a bit intimidated because there was a line and everyone was ordering pretty fast and in French. I knew I wanted a croissant since I love them and we are in France :) With my little French I ordered and pointed and the lady behind the register was very nice and smiled as she saw me making an effort. I did stop here a few times during my stay to get some pastries and of course croissants to bring back home. read more

My go-to place almost every day; where else can you get a fresh smoothie for 'just' $5 Euros, along with great croissants & salad? The first day, had the chicken/avocado salad, which was amazing--especially if you like chopped scallions. It wont' be for everyone. Honestly, I've had better croissants but the powdered sugar ones were better. Good service. Liked sitting right at the front bar by the cashier for ppl watching, you know, being a tourist, it's cool to observe the Parisiens lol. read more

Was really looking forward to this place, it just looked so beautifully decorated with pastries on one side and the breads on the other. We loaded up on baguettes as i wanted to try everything but kind of regretting as we got there in the afternoon and most of the bread was quiet dry already :( must go when it's fresh out of oven.

Yummy, efficient bakery. I had to get out of line a few times because I wasn't ready (there are just too many beautiful things to look at!) and I didn't want to slow down the "machine" that they were running! They speak to you in french but definitely understand english (or in my case, poorly spoken french). The cakes and cookies look gorgeous - they put American ones to shame. We got the pain aux cereales, based on David Lebovitz's suggestion and it is PERFECT with a little wine, cheese, pate, cornichons, etc. We also got a bag of madeleines that melted in my mouth. I think I gained 10 pounds just looking at everything! Darn you, french pastries! read more

We loved our pastries and had a very nice time sitting inside at the counter. The quinoa salad was amazing and came with bread and a little olive oil bottle. The tea was wonderful too and came with a hot water pot. We were there for a long time and the staff didn't mind. They have a little bathroom in the back. They're very reasonable priced for Paris and just outside of the tourist blast zones, so it's nice. read more

Popped by here about an hour before closing, they still had a large selection and everything looked fresh (not like those bakeries were they bake in the morning and then sits out and gets stale). I asked the staff in French if they spoke English and luckily the girl helping me did, so if you're not confident with your French ability you can get by with English here. Tomato quiche was so delicious, and again we ate it for dinner but tasted like it was made only an hour ago. The next day I had the apple tart. Flaky dough with lots of apple filling, sort of like sweet apple sauce. I really liked but I would have also liked more apple pieces instead of a puree. I can't stress this enough how fresh their pastries are! Unfortunately I was only able to visit once but if I lived in Paris, I would come here all the time. read more

Absolutely delicious pastries! We grabbed two chocolate croissants, one almond croissant, and one chausson aux pommes, which I'm officially obsessed with. All of the pastries where perfectly flaky, crispy yet soft, and stuffed with amazing filling! All 4 pastries cost a total of 6.40 euro. Not too shabby. They do take credit card so that's another plus. read more

No visit to Paris is complete without a visit to a Boulangerie. The stereotype is true, I've seen so many Parisians racing around the city with a baguette in their arm biking around the city. The French love their bread, with very good reason. This is the perfect place to grab a few pastries and baguettes to go for a picnic or nibble as you walk through the beautiful city. One notable baguette is their black sesame, it was extra crispy yet soft on the inside. Their sandwiches are standard, but may be better if toasted as the baguette is a little harder to bite into. The strawberry tart was the perfect ending, its flaky crust with a not too sweet and the flavorful filling was delicious. We were very tempted to buy another immediately after. Come here and grab something to go for a cute picnic by the Eiffel Tower! Check out my must eats in Paris! www.camchowda.com/pariseats read more

I had an apartment for a week a block from this location, and came here nearly every day for a baguette and some other snack. The baguettes are amazing, the chocolate chip cookie (which they just call the "cookie") is incredible, and my girlfriend loved the Madelines. The place is friendly but it can be a bit overwhelming to a limited-French-speaker if you go in during a busy time, which is most of the time. You will find yourself a few people back in line when suddenly someone from behind the counter will make eye contact with you and ask you something which probably means "What would you like?" This is when you confidently chime out, "un baguette!". By the time you get to the front of the line (register) they will hand it to you and if you see something else you want in the showcase you can ask for it then. As with any place of business in France they appreciate that you pay with small bills or coins or exact change. Don't hand them a 20 euro note for a baguette that costs €1.05. read more

I was told this place has the best croissant ever... hmm Its good, not great. Overly done with butter on the inside... and trust me I LOVE BUTTER but so much that it makes your fingers the bag very greasy. They need a better balance to give it the creamy butter bread inside without all the oils. The outside was crisy and flaky but Poilane and a few other places have better croissants in my opinion. Staff was odd... they wouldn't let me use a credit card because it was small purchase but when I gave them 50 euros they asked for smaller bills. With such a large store, you would think they wouldn't be so picky. The lines were so long and slightly disorganized too. read more

My goal was to remove myself from the tourist areas and explore the back roads of the city. Upon doing that, I found a place with a line out of the door. Note: If you see a line that snakes out the door and on to the sidewalk, just go. It doesn't matter if you just ate. After a fifteen minute wait, I found a small but cozy establishment with numerous selections of sandwiches, salads, pastas and fresh baked breads. The only problem was that English was not widely understood. So after grunting and spitting out poor French in an attempt to get a delicious sandwich, I ended up with the best meal of the trip. Add in a cookie on the side, and some sort of fizzy fruity drink, and prices that won't make your head explode, and you have quite the experience. Do yourself a favor, take your food to go and make the 30 minute walk to the Tower. Eat your lunch there and you'll have the experience of the trip. read more

Definitely NOT overhyped- this is the best baguette I've had, and I've had very, very many. The regular baguette - not the whole wheat - is a work of art. Soft, substantial and chewy with a thick but not fragile or piercing crust. It's easy to make bread soft in the middle with a hard, brittle crust. Kayser manages to keep the entire thing chewy while still maintaining a crunch and without becoming rubbery. A hint of sour dough to the flavor? It was extraordinary. The croissants were also among the best I've ever had - incredibly light, flakey and buttery. Just melt in your mouth. Pain au chocolat was also magnificant. Pai de sucre was just ok, as was the whole wheat baguette (I'm pretty sure this is what it was, darker than the regular) - which was too thick and bready, almost stale tasting in comparison to the regular. So happy this was close by, so I could go every morning. They sell Kayser bread in some of the supermarkets, and while it was definitely fine, you're best going to the actual shop for the freshest. read more

My wife and I found this place on yelp and decided to give it a shot and ohhhh man did we choose right. Everything on display on the window and everything inside was tantalizing and the temptation not to eat everything was hard. My wife got the chocolate brioche and I forgot the name of the pastry I got, but it was delicious nonetheless, pairing it with espresso definitely made it a good quick snack, will definitely come here in the future. read more

When I was in Paris in May, I stopped by this bakery becuase of the great reviews. I bought an almond crossant and a baguette. The almond croissant was light and flaky, quite tasty but nothing extraordinary. Perhaps my expectations were too high? As for the baguette, it was much more dense than I was expecting. I have enjoyed better baguettes at the numerous bakeries in Paris and this was not one of them. Verdict: Over-hyped. read more
