Ah Pierre Hermé! Simply the best macarons out there. Now that I'm acquainted with Pierre Hermé, Laduree is clearly only serving best. Such delicate and exquisite flavors! read more

I'm on a quest to find my favorite French macarons, each visit I try something new if I'm able but really I think I do have a favorite and it's not what most people may think. I wanted to give Pierre Hermé a shot this go round and they were just ok in my opinion. I tried seven different flavors and the one that stood out was half banana, the others didn't impress me much. Carette is still my favorite and Ladurée is ok in a pinch, but now that they are available nearly everywhere they don't seem special to me. Service in the store was friendly and helpful. read more

I will say, I walked into Pierre Herme not knowing about its reputation and walked out a fan! This location, conveniently located near my hotel, did not have much of a line which was fantastic. You walk in and the display case overwhelms you with sweet options aside from macarons. Buche, tarts, even grand macarons await you. I ordered a box of 4 macarons with a collectible tin for a sizable amount. Each macaron (except for the pistache) was delicate with a slight crunch. The flavors are also really pronounced. The citron tastes like citron, the passion fruit punches you in the face with passion fruit. Super flavorful. Even the pistache had a nice nuttiness to it (however it was a bit tougher than the other macarons, I don't know why). But for the proximity and the flavor, would definitely recommend Pierre Herme for their macarons. Just make sure to check the price tag before! read more

When visiting Paris I came here with my traveling companions to grab some tasty macaroons that we heard were so popular and tasty.... and they sure lived up to their reputation! One word- Yummy- is what these macaroons are. There were so many different flavors from strawberry, chocolate, lime and hazelnut. We had made our selections and hadn't noticed that they charged an extra 5 bucks just to put it in a fancy box. So we ended up paying over 33 dollars for 12 macaroons- which to think about is kind of insane- but thinking about how good they tasted- they were so worth it! If I'm ever in Paris again- I'd be sure to come back here and have some more! read more

Pierre Hermé are the most exquisite macarons that will ever touch your palate. It's an upscale version of delectable pastries. I have heard of this brand before but never had the chance to try it since they only have dessert boutiques in Paris and NY. This pastry shop is small but there is a huge selection of sweets including chocolates, macarons and other mini desserts. We took the train all the way out here which took about 20 minutes. Then the 11-hour flight back home. After all that travel, they were perfectly delicious when I devoured them the next day. The sales lady was so friendly and able to speak English. She picked out some of the most popular flavors for my box of 12. The most noteworthy was the hybrid flavor of pistachio/raspberry and the passion fruit. Trust me once you have tasted Pierre Hermé no other macarons will entice you. These have the most delicate texture and melts in your mouth. The filling is intricate and the flavors are amazing. If you love macarons as much as I do then these will definitely make your heart skip a beat! Each macaron holds it's own individuality with unique colors and flavors. I was so impressed and will definitely stop here again when in Paris! read more

Pierre Hermé - Oh my!! The most exquisite macarons for 35 euros. - Chocolatiers & Shops Near Me - Paris, 75

The ipsahan rose litchi framboise macaron that is Pierre Herme's signature flavor is so amazing.

I absolutely LOVE this place. If you aren't a pastries fan, you will be after you try the pastries at Pierre Herme. I came here with my brother who claims that he doesn't like sweets... Once he took a bite of the PH goods, his eyes rolled back and he was converted!! Everything's soooo good here. Especially the cranberry croissant , macaroons, and the pistachio cake. My tummy just growled thinking about it... I wish we had one in the states. I would eat it everyday! On second thought... maybe it's a good thingy that it's not here... for my figure anyways. haha read more

Absolutely delish macrons for the small price of your first born! Yes, the cookies are delish but they are definitely a splurge not an everyday purchase. I paid $35.00 for a box of 12 varieties. They had standard flavours like chocolate, vanilla but they also had strange flavours like rose water and olive oil. read more

Pierre Herme is like Laduree's hip younger sister with it's non-traditional explosive flavors! The flavor combinations are so interesting. I do wish the macarons were just a bit chewier though. Nonetheless they are so heavenly. Beautiful store, adorable boxes and great customer service. **Unlike PH's slightly stuffy older brother, you can take two pictures in this store. Yes Asian tourists, you heard me right! But don't piss off the staff, "Only two!" read more

It's very hard to compare Pierre Hermé and Ladurée. Ladurée makes classic macarons, but Pierre Hermé makes exotic ones - and depending on what kind of person you are, you'd prefer one or the other. I actually really like both (depending on my mood, actually), so I'm content that I have two avenues to cater to my taste :) My favorite Pierre Hermé macaron, by far, was the Chuao (cassis & chocolate), but it's been discontinued!!!! :'( Trop triste. I don't know WHY they would do that. :( However, my second favorite, the Mogador (passionfruit & chocolate), is still there. :) As for the other flavors, I can't really say much. I don't think they struck me spectacularly. I definitely prefer pistache and vanille at Ladurée. They currently have an asperge vert & huile de noisette (asparagus & hazelnut oil) that I need to try. :D If you buy them in a bag, they're about 1.9€ per macaron. Pretty pricey, but you wouldn't be eating more than 3 macarons at a time, would you? read more

Macarons! Chocolates! Truffles! I'm in sugar heaven! The two other times I've been to France, I left with satisfaction on my face. This time is no different. I love this place and I will come here each and every time I come to Paris. I left the place with chocolate croissants for breakfast, macarons to enjoy later and chocolates for our friends. My husband ate all the truffles in the car. We left there spending over 150 EU but it was worth every penny! read more

Perfect. Perfect. Perfect. Incredible service and incredible food. Yes, yes you should make your way here for a sample. Yes, yes you should have all of the lovely buttery and varied delights. Yes, yes the service is that amazing that you wonder if this is customer service heaven. Yes, yes you should lie to your nutritionist about this. Its that good. read more

I went into two Pierre Herme locations, the first one did not have much of a selection (only macaroons) and the other one, which is this location, has more to choose from. Both of the locations are small but their pastries will not disappoint! The macaroons were the best tasting macaroons I have ever had. They are incredibly soft and crunchy at the same! Just pure perfection! The other pastries are made with the same perfect quality! Even their day old croissants (which they have half off) are still the freshest croissant I have ever had. Only down side is that it is expensive but worth every penny! read more

Had no idea this place was so good. I was strolling around montparnasse and the store front caught my attention. Let me just put it this way: this is paradise for dessert lovers. Since I didn't know the hype of Pierre Hermes and came in completely oblivious of the strength this brand has, I came in and chose two pieces of sweet arbitrary. And my oh my, did I have the time of my life eating it. Worth. Every. Cent. read more

Awesome staff and amazing desserts! The lady here walked me through all their unique macarons (with names like Arabesque) and told me a few of her favorites as well. I ended up getting the Tarte Infiniment Vanille, and four macarons (chocolate/passionfruit, rose/lychee, jasmin/strawberry, chocolate). I would highly recommend the rose/lychee and chocolate/passionfruit but I'm sure you can't go wrong here. I would absolutely come back to try their other desserts! read more

I am too Asian to live, so it's pretty much a given that I love Pierre Hermé. On my latest trip to Paris, I got a box of seven macarons at this store and ate the whole thing on a nearby bench, much to Matt B.'s horror. The store itself is very cute, well-lit with a predominantly white decor enlivened by the multi-colored treats on display. Service was not superfluously friendly, but it was polite and efficient. I've tried most of Pierre Herme's flavors over time, but I'll stick to my box of seven. These were olive oil and vanilla, dark chocolate black currant, rose, hazelnut, Mogador, Eden, and fleur de sel caramel. Quite predictably, my favorite of this bunch was the exquisite caramel, buttery and lightly salty and exploding with flavor. All of them were delicious, though - Pierre Herme knows how to construct a macaron. The crackly light shell is absolutely key, and all seven had it right. Even within my box, though, there was some variation, probably due to degrees of freshness. Flavors are secondary to the basic form, but all the flavors were also on point. The olive oil and vanilla was cool and silky, the rose fragrant and without too much sweetness. The chocolate flavors - the two-faced dark chocolate black currant and the Mogador, a speckled beauty of milk chocolate and passion fruit - were the richest and most dense, perfect for a chocolate lover's palate. Hazelnut was loaded with pure nutty goodness, and the Eden with its tantalizing combination of apricot, peach, and saffron, was a sophisticated macaron that was nonetheless straightforward and impossible not to enjoy. Matt is not a macaron man and opted for a croissant and a pain au chocolat, each of which were reasonably priced at under €2. Both were excellent, with plenty of flake and butter. Yes, I tried some despite having an entire box of macarons for lunch. I regret nothing. read more

Because my friend, KS wrote such an awesome review comparing single dating life to the cakes at Lady M (http://www.yelp.com/biz/lady-m-cake-boutique-new-york#hrid:sNk0YWWlD5o6qFTCzrhVPQ) I thought I'd steal her genius idea and write my own comparison, macaroon to dating life... 1. I would stay single for the macaroons here 2. I'd probably go more broke if I did stay single for the macaroons here. (more so than if I was actually dating) 3. But either options, I'd still be happy and satisfied, and broke. read more

Great bakery in Paris. Got some macaroons and they were so fresh and delicious. I actually have tried them before, not from here, and never liked them, but now after having one here I know what they are suppose to taste like. read more

Pierre Herme is probably one of the top leaders in the world of macarons. That being said, each place/brand makes macarons slightly different, so you just need to find one that matches your tastes. Pierre Herme should definitely be on your macaron hit-list! Here you can get a box of 7 macarons for about 14 EUR. The macarons are cheaper if you opt to not get the box. Pierre Herme macarons are a little bit bigger than some other macarons I've had (Laudree, Aoki, Larnicol), but are still bite-sized morsels of deliciousness. The macarons here are a bit on the sweeter side, but they come in such intriguing flavors: Jasmine Tea, Asparagus, Passion fruit with Chocolate Ganache, Licorice... They are definitely some of the more prettier macarons, especially those that come with 2 different shell colors for the combination flavors. This Pierre Herme shop is pretty small, but they have a decent amount of books, candies/chocolates, macarons, and pasteries. read more

Hubby and I liked this place better than LaDuree when we visited Paris. Pricey, but great macarons and even better CROISSANTS (we tried both the plain and the chocolate). They didn't look buttery, but within a hour we noticed the wax paper it was sitting in was soaked through. Yikes! But that's probably why they're the best croissants I've ever had. Guy behind the counter was super nice too. Spoke perfect english (maybe from america?) and helped us make a phone call to a restaurant. read more

This may be listed as a bakery but it's far from what is typically thought of as a bakery. They do high level deserts. This place is like See's candies on steroids (think what Sprinkles is to the cupcake world). I tried a few different macaroons and they were all fantastic and just melt in your mouth goodness. The only downside is for the size they are very expensive for desert. Although with how big and sweet they are you probably only need 1 for a good desert but you are going to want more. One thing to point out is these are more what Americans consider truffles not the coconut deserts we call macaroons in the US. read more

Pierre Hermé serves absolutely delicious macarons. That's an undisputed fact. Seriously. Just mention the name to any Frenchman/woman living outside of France, and watch him/her start to drool. Be prepared to resume the conversation about ten or so seconds later when their attention has returned to you. Macaroons aside, Pierre Hermé also serves up delicious cakes. Their chocolate cake is apparently among the world's best according to many a food reviewer (alas, I didn't get a chance to try it as by the time I was at the shop, I was running low on funds and time) and their other baked goods are of a high standard as well. Pierre Hermé is expensive, no doubt about it. But if you're in Paris, then this place is a must-visit. And if you happen to go into one and there isn't a horde of tourists, seize your chance and get in and out quickly. We walked into one miraculously empty one and decided to take a look around first, and, before we knew it, a bus-load of tourists came in and began ordering! read more

Pierre Herme won my award for best macaroon. The shop is so pretty and the pastry is lovely. We bought a box of mini macaroons and loved all of them- the flavors are spot on. The texture of these is so good- perfectly chewy and crunchy. The cream perfectly sweet and smooth. I will be back- and next time may try one of the many delicious cakes they had on display. read more

Perfect, quintessential French bakery. There's nothing wrong about this place. My only advice is to go with a group and get a little of almost everything, so you can try as many of the pastries as possible. read more

I came here with my aunt and she's always wanted to try their macarons and see if they were any good. They were! It had all the qualities a macaron should have: light, delicate shell, sweet ganache in the center. The filling was more abundant than I'm used to seeing, but it's not like it hindered the macaron's taste in anyway. I love the olive and vanilla macaron! It's so good! :) I've also tried their chocolates and they're pretty good as well. They have chocolates that have a smooth chocolate filing with, in my case, framboise in the center, with a decorative macaron shell on top. Delicious! They also gave my aunt two free dark chocolate pieces to try, which had a nice, decadent dark chocolatey taste. read more

I'm in love with his macarons! They're absolutely amazing. Not too sugary, crunchy but with a filling that melts in your mouth. Every season (spring, winter..and so on) you can find some new flavours beside the classic ones (I've tasted white truffle and was really extraordinary, vanilla is lovely, and blueberry too). The most famous macaron is "ispahan" (bigger than the others) made with rose, raspberry and litchi. I've also eaten some verrines" (desserts in small glasses) and chocolates. I know it makes also a very good croissant for breakfast. Prices are high, but remember that he's one of the best pastry chef in the world and, of course, you're in Paris!!! :) read more
