Great croissant. Average chocolate and their chocolate cake was fine but not worth the hype. I didn't like the taste of their quiche. Average customer service for an European bakery. The person was so frustrated that I couldn't speak French to show her which cake I wanted. read more

Simply the best. After searching for an almond croissant I knew I found what I was looking for as the smell of butter welcomed us upon entering this incredible establishment. The highlight of our visit to Saint Germain! Must have - any quiche, eclair, chocolate almond or almond croissant. Enjoy! read more

Maison Mulot - The most amazing desserts in Paris. - Bakeries Near Me - Paris, 01

A sweet dessert shop in the heart of Paris! Everything looked amazing I wanted to buy all of it but ended up getting a box of macarons. They were very delicious but sweeter than most macarons I've had. Definitely worth a try if you have a sweet tooth! read more

Maison Mulot - Bakeries Near Me - Paris, 01

The absolute best place to get things for a picnic the walk to Luxembourg Garden or a nice dessert to bring to a friend's house. Perfection

For pastry, a baguette, a piece of chocolate, a box of chocolates, a macaroon, a fruit torte, a tart, a croissant - the absolute best. There's a good selection of sandwiches and fresh salads to takeaway for a delicious picnic. I just love Gerard Mulot, and their beautiful black and red gift boxes, too! read more

had some baked goods from here from hotel relais st germain (awesome hotel), and was pretty good, baguette, walnut bread, madeleine. Parisians are lucky to have such good bread available daily -- much better than that unsalted tuscan bread! read more

Not crazy about this spot. Close to our hotel and open on Christmas Eve and Day...a rarity! Purchased 2 slices of cheesecake one day and did not even eat the 2nd piece as it was not worth the calories. Dry and tasted like cardboard. The next visit we tried the pistachio macaron. The person helping us was incredibly rude and seemed to be mocking our admittedly rudimentary french. First and only time that happened while we were in Paris. Macaron not worth the calories either. Won't be back. If you want meh food and rude service, come here. read more

This quickly became my favorite place for a morning crescent and cafe creme. It was right near the Hotel Le Clément, where I stayed. I wish I could have taken home the many pastries which are works of art. Delicious just to look at! read more

Another favorite bakery. With Arnaud Larher across the street, which one do you choose? Gerard Mulot I think is slighty cheaper, but tastes just as good if not better and has a wider selection of goods. Their pear fig tart was divine and almond croissant was delish too. read more

This is the almond croissant of my dreams. It is stuffed with the most wonderful frangipane and almonds and I am drooling just thinking of it. We also had the pain au chocolat with a cafe at the bar, which was also delightful. I am going to be honest, I tried to bring one back home on the plane but I ended up eating it at the airport. read more

One of the best bakeries in Paris! I discovered this little gem on my most recent trip to Paris, just from the amazing scents that I smelled a block away. There is typically a line (which is always a good sign). As a professional baker, I give their baguettes (both rustique and classique) A+'s, along with all their breakfast pastries. Something like pain au chocolat seems like a simple enough pastry to make (for the French at least), but this doesn't always show through at the various boulangeries. I've actually found it quite hard to find a version as delicious as the one this bakery makes. All their breakfast pastries have the perfect amount of butter, flakiness, filling (whether it's chocolate, apples, cream, etc.), and everything is priced on par with bakeries in the area. You must go here if you're staying in the area or pass through during your trip! read more

We had been walking past the shop for several days and decided to stop in and get something for breakfast. Decided on a curried vegetable and Lorraine tarte. Both were delicious and the service was very friendly! Will definitely visit again. read more

This place is addictive! Can't wait to go there again. Forget paleo, keto, Whole 30, vegan.......I'm chowing down!!!!

I visited Gerard Mulot after seeing the glowing reviews on yelp, but I wasn't too impressed by the macarons. I ordered 3 macarons: citron, caramel and chocolate. While they weren't horrifically bad, they weren't exceptional either. Their system of payment is bizarre too. You order, then get a receipt and pay at another counter where the receipt is stamped and then return to another counter to pick up your purchases. Inconvenient. I wouldn't return; there are better macarons in Paris. read more

This was the first real Parisian bakery that I went to. How lucky for me that it is also one of the best in the city. The windows are to die for. The pastries are DELICIOUS. Sandwiches are true Parisian perfection and the have Diet Coke. LOVE! read more

Is it worth the line winding down the street? I'm not sure... Luckily we must've hit it at an "off" hour because we were able to walk right in the door. Our hotel was right around the corner, though, and this place had a line almost all the time, so we got lucky. The ordering system is very unclear and quite frankly, a little ridiculous. I don't think there needs to be this much chaos simply to order a macaron. We waited in "line" (not really a line) at the main counter and finally got served, only to get a ticket to go wait in another line to pay, then return to the main line to pick up our order. Weird. Of course, when we left, we noticed a side door where we could've walked right up to the back counter and been served and pay all at once. Next time... Onto the important part--the sweets. We were feeling especially decadent (hey, it's vacation!), so we ordered two of the big macarons--one chocolate, one vanilla--plus a chocolate eclair. I could've done without the vanilla macaron. It was dry and crumbly and just not that outstanding, which I would expect from a place that always has a line. The chocolate, on the other hand, was incredible, and the chocolate eclair was even better. read more

Best croissants I've ever had - if you go, make sure you get two plain croissants, as one is not enough! We also tried some macaroons, which were good, but are equally delicious elsewhere. Gérard Mulot feels very French and has a nice atmosphere. Also nearby are the very pretty Luxembourg gardens (a block away), with many chairs and tables that you can sit on and eat after buying from Gérard Mulot; the bakery itself has very limited seating. read more

Mulot is a very polarizing experience for me. The first time I had their baguette tradition, I absolutely loved it - dark, crunchy, incredibly flavorful crust with a nice fluffy, slightly chewy and moist crumb. On repeat purchases, it has fluctuated between being very good and way too dense/pasty on the inside, but the baguette crust is probably my favorite in Paris, the most flavorful I've found. I was a bit wary of his pâtisseries, seeing the huge selection. Generally I've found that selection is inversely related to quality...but I was pleasantly surprised by the tarte citron meringuée, which had a nice, crunchy shortcrust, a tangy, sour lemon custard with an excellent, not-too-thick consistency, and a beautifully prepared meringue. The tarte au chocolat was also good with the same impressive shortcrust, and the dark chocolate flavors were great, but I didn't love the slightly too dense texture of the ganache. But then the duo poire/caramel was too sweet for me, lacking in pear flavor, and really could have used a bit more freshness and acidity. Also tried three of their acclaimed macarons, which were disappointing overall. Loved the chewy interior, but they were quite messily and unevenly assembled compared to the work of, say, Pierre Hermé. The salted caramel was the best, nice strong flavor. The nougat macaron was cloyingly sweet and one-dimensional, as well as the least presentable of the three. The passionfruit-basil one had a highly artificial passion fruit flavor, with hardly a hint of basil, and was also way too sweet. So overall, I'd return for the baguette tradition but I'd skip the pâtisseries. There are much better choices for pastries, even nearby - Un Dimanche à Paris comes to mind. read more

It took me an hour walk (I got lost, oh paris..) but I was happy I made the journey. The crossaint was perfect and the chocolate macaron to die for. The cashier spoke decent English. There's a line, but it moves quickly. read more

My favorite pattiserrie in Paris! Love love love this place. When in Paris I come here everyday for breakfast because everything is simply amazing. The pain au raisin is my favorite, chocolate brioche mmmm, amaryllis pastry, macrons, marshmallows, amazing sandwiches and salads.... So if you want an amazing breakfast, pastries, and midnight snack this is the plAce also known as a sweet tooth playground. read more

My away-from-home neighborhood bakery. Shatteringly crisp and buttery croissants, the perfect chew and softness to a baguette, a variety of delicate pastries and delicious tourtes and daily to-go prepared salads. Across from the Marche SGDP. Go on a Saturday or Sunday to hit the organic market. Best yet for this American: a fair amount of English spoken at G. Mulot! read more

This is actually one of my favorite places for macarons. I love their salted caramel, the amande vanille and the noix de coco. Yum, yum, yum. I, for one, think that Ladurée is overrated and ridiculously expensive for its worth. The consistency of the macarons at Mulot just make you feel like you're floating into almond heaven. Yuummm. The flavors don't taste artificial and they're not too sweet. I always take my friends to Gérard Mulot instead of Ladurée or Pierre Hermé (though I do like Pierre Hermé) because the macarons here are just beautiful. They should really be giving me commission at this point. read more

I was in Paris for less than 24 hours and came here twice, first for the Yelp rating, the second because the croissant was great. The half baguette I got was ok; not sure when they sliced it. The second time, I got two regular croissants, a chocolate one, and an "au lait" (that turns out had jam in it so maybe mislabeled?) as soon as they opened. I'd have gotten some tarts and other stuff to try too but they just weren't set up at 7am and I had to go catch my flight. I'm glad I stopped by because those pastries were much better than the food they serve on the plane! read more

With the area around the Gardens of Luxembourg and the Latin Quarter particularly fruitful for shopping, pastry, and sightseeing another of our early morning stops would be to Gerard Mulot, a large shop where the largely English-naïve staff was surprisingly skilled and navigating my high-school French but rather unimpressive in their delivery of quality baked goods. Arriving just moments after the doors opened our order would be five items - a Croissant, a Pain au Chocolate, a Canele, a vanilla Mille Feuille, and a cafe St. Honore - yet despite our early arrival nothing was warm, the croissant was too dense, and quite frankly I wonder if some of what we received was left over from the day prior, particularly a chewy sponge of a canele, a soggy Mille Feuille, and a St. Honore that was dense with intensely flavored but largely lacking in style or choux. read more

Came here solely to try macaroons. Was not disappointed. Better than Laudaree.

I've been in Paris for three months now and sampled many macarons. I stick with the Caramel beurre salé as a reference point. This place is hands down the best macaron I tasted, even over Ladurée, in my opinion. Chewier, more moist, more complex. read more

I'll definitely come again for food. In reasonable price. Important is. Very good food!! The best tart I ever had. Also the start Shrimp advocado read more

Great quiche. Baguettes were also delicious. Religus and our half dozen other pastries were hit and miss. Certainly won't walk by if they're open and I'm hungry. read more

It was okay but not great. We went to a few other really fantastic boulangeries in Paris and this did not make the cut. Overpriced, poor selection, not very tasty. read more

So I don't want to be too harsh because I've heard this place is famed for the macarons more than anything else, but my friend and I picked up a croissant and a baguette here and they were perhaps the most disappointing pastries we've had in Paris yet. The croissant was not crisp at all and was in fact rather soggy, and the baguette had no crunch to it despite being "bien cuit" ... and it was even burned. Perhaps a little too "bien cuit." They seemed very popular and flooded with customers at the bakery, but I don't know why; perhaps we caught them on an off day. read more

It is more casual, friendly, but has little space to sit and enjoy. However, the creme brulee, dark chocolate tarte, and tarimisu was on point. It's certainly worth a trip if you're near the Latin Quarter and/or out on a stroll. read more

2.5 stars. Gerard Mulot had some chocolates on display and I got a box of a dark chocolate assortment, and noticed that they also had some macarons, which I also love. I picked up a few of those as well. The chocolates themselves weren't amazing, I felt that the ganache wasn't creamy enough for my taste, and the couverture was too sweet. The macarons had some hits and misses. The pineapple-basil and orange-cinnamon ones were a little too dry and crumbly. The chocolate rosemary one had a good cookie texture, but the ganache filling was kind of hard. The pistachio macaron had the perfect crispy-crunchy texture combination, but it had a fake pistachio flavor. But the pain d'epices macaron had a great flavor, creamy ganache, and crispy-chewy cookie. This was my favorite of the bunch. read more

When I was a grad student in Paris almost 20 years ago, I was living 2 blocks from this store for a year. This had not been good for my waistline but I still remember the croissants, and most importantly their famous specialties: macarons (when macarons were not hip), the orange tart, the cherry clafouti (I am a fan of this dish, and this is the best I've ever tasted --but don't expect it year-round, it is seasonal). I go back when I am in the neighborhood and it's still as good as back in the days. read more

Hands down the very best macaroons in Paris! Passion fruit & basil, pineapple & ginger, cherry & poppyseed. Delectable!!! True artisan pastries! Don't miss it!! read more

Absolutely fabulous bread and food. You can't go wrong. Try especially the "baguette tradition" and the "tarte aux fraise"

AMAZING bakery!! My husband and I went to this bakery after seeing it on Bizzare Foods Delicious Destinations. For breakfast we had the croissants and pain au chocolat paired with their store creme coffee. Best croissants I've ever had! Every bite flaked and melted in my mouth and tasted like it was bathed in the most flavourful butter ever. The pain au chocolate was just as flaky and the chocolate was smooth and sweet. The coffee was excellent as well. The food was so good we had to make a second visit on the same day. This time we had the chocolate eclair, creme brûlée, milk chocolate tart and veal pastry roll. The creme brûlée was easily the best I've tasted, so smooth and so very flavourful. The rest of the food was just as great. Lovely store with good service, will definitely be back the next time we are in Paris. read more

Godd this place is amazing. You can just stare at the glass window for an hour. Such beautiful colors and pastries. The macaroons are heavenly! But! (and there's a big one) the girls that hand you out the pastries in the entrance are disgusting. I don't know if that is just the french attitude but they do you a favor when they answer a question or when they serve you the food before you pay for it. They pick up your choice WITHOUT GLOVES, with their bare hands! nasty! There's also nearly no room to seat! Maybe for 3 people tops! read more

Passion fruit/raspberry macaron was so good! They're very nice here and presentation is impeccable. Only 5 euro minimum for credit card :)

OK this place rocks!!! Macroons top notch times 100. Chocolates excellent. Grabbed our bag of goodies and just truly enjoyed them while chilling in Luxembourg Gardens. read more
