Pierre Hermé is a wonderful pastry shop in the heart of Paris (although I believe there are several locations around the city). The staff were very warm, welcoming us into the shop. They have a variety of desserts to chose from and each dessert is artfully decorated and so beautiful that I did not know what to order. I ended up ordering the macarons, which melted on my mouth. Highly recommended!
I dream about these desserts... I was recommended to try the macrons from here. I died and went to heaven when I stepped in the store. They had an incredible variety of macrons and each one was moist and perfect and a delicious flavor. I was in such a rush, but they gave me free chocolate, and treated me so well for being that obnoxious american trying to get macrons and catch their next train. The staff are super friendly (even to English speaking Minnesotans), and the place is immaculate and clean. The display cases make it like you're in a Wonka factory - just gorgeous colors and delicious smells.
I'm not a macaroon fan but my friend insisted that we have to try this bcoz he said it's very good. And to my surprise it was better than Laduree that I had tried the day before just because Paris is well known for their macaroons. I tried the lychee one and very impressed with it because lychee is an Asian fruit and has a particular smell and they execute it to the point. It's over priced but it's good
I got a couple of macarons and an almond raspberry rose lychee croissant - all were super delicious! I'm not a macaron person usually but enjoyed these nonetheless. The almond raspberry rose lychee croissant was the real star of the show. You HAVE to get one while in Paris. What an unbelievable combo of flavors and the pastry was nice and flaky. I bought a jar of the raspberry rose lychee jam, would recommend bringing it home to put on your almond croissants
This location wasn't too busy when I went in the afternoon and still had ample of macarons to select from. I'm not really a fan of macarons but these guys have changed me. The mogador is phenomenal. It is so complex, the crushy shell to the gooey centre. It starts off chocolatey and then the end notes of the passion fruit just lingers. It is just such an experience in such a small bite. The ispahan was more subtle but enjoyable as well. Ambience of course was just perfectly high end and it wasn't crowded with tourists at all at this location in St Germaine.
In comparison to the first Pierre Hermé I went to, this one is slightly smaller, but it still packs a punch. The flavors are downright divine. I had previously made the mistake of buying a nice fancy box for a French family and not having any. Then, well, this was on the way back to our hotel and the curiosity got to me. I bought four flavors and each one was better the next. It made me regret not buying more and now I find myself back in the United States craving these delectable morsels of heaven. Oh well; c'est la vie. I will just have to go back.
Another well-known bakery store that is famous for its macarons. If you are in France this is one of the best-tasting macarons that you will love and enjoy. I also bought a France tin which is a keepsake for me. I ate the macarons within a few minutes of getting them! They also have other pastry items but were too full to order them. They did look amazing though! Come to this place to try it out and you'll fall in love with desserts.
Yummy macarons plus some additional delicious pastries to boot. Love that there are so many unique flavors. In my opinion, I prefer Pierre Herme macarons more than Laduree macarons. Laduree is a tad sweeter than Pierre Herme. Decided to purchase some more to bring back to the states for family.
I initially went into another Pierre Herme location for macarons, but then I remembered that Phil Rosenthal visited this location to try the cakes. Man oh man, I'm so happy I came in. I ordered the Tarte Infiniment Vanille, then walked across the street to sit down and give it a try. I'm pretty sure my soul left my body, so I decided to come back again to try the Ispahan Pastry. I just couldn't fathom how flawless these cakes were in its taste.
We stopped by Pierre Hermé three times while in Paris - once just for macrons, once for macrons and tea, and another time for pistachio croissants and tea. All of our visits (each at a different location) were tasty! We tried the pistachio and creme brûlée macron flavors and really enjoyed them, but weren't as big of fans of their signature flavors which were chocolate/passion fruit and rose/raspberry. The rose/raspberry unfortunately tasted a bit soapy as some floral-flavored things do at times. The chai lattes were solid both times we had them and the pistachio croissant was WONDERFUL! I had never had a pistachio croissant before, only almond croissants, and this was similar but even better because it also had chocolate inside - YUM. It was so good that I finished it very quickly and wished I had another.
World renowned and utterly delicious, Pierre Herme's kaleidoscope of sweet baked goodies will transform the way you think about how a croissant and macaroon should be enjoyed! Each involved countless hours and days dedicated to creating the perfect culinary creation for the world to enjoy. If you love chocolate..I mean who doesn't?!?, try their hot chocolate. It's literally real thick chocolate sauce (the consistency pours similar to a thicker Maple syrup but all chocolate) and "some milk". It's flavor is pure heaven without what one would expect from a sugar filled drink.
I remember walking into a Pierre Herme the first day I got to Paris and thinking to myself "great, a tacky macaron shop - I wonder how many of these I'll be seeing in France" ... I would first like to reprimand my ignorant self from three weeks ago, and apologize to Pierre Herme for ever thinking that it was just "another macaron shop" The prices, I will not lie, are pricey. I spent a little over 5 euros on two macarons. I felt my wallet cry in despair while my heart and stomach jumped with joy. The worker was a very friendly Japanese woman who told me all about their special macarons, as well as their best sellers. I got one of her recommendations, the Isaphan (rose, lychee, raspberry) and the seasonal pu-erh tea flavor. They were both so amazing. The texture was slightly chewy and very soft, and the filling had its own kind of texture which I really loved. The Isaphan was floral and sweet at the same time, and you could taste all three flavors, with none overpowering the other. The other most popular flavor aside from the Isaphan is the Mogador, which is a milk chocolate and passion fruit macaron. They also had another seasonal flavor (which had sold out before I got there) called the Jardin D'Oryza, which was a Japanese sake flavor.
Yummy macarons, probably the best I've tasted. When in Paris we stopped here and it did not disappoint. It was a bit pricey for a box but we chipped in and picked a few flavors we each wanted to try. The store was super clean and staff were fast getting through customers in line and were friendly. If I'm ever back here/ I'd get more macarons. read more

Excellent macarons with VERY unique flavors that are often layered. It is pricey. They offer boxes of 8, 18 (i think), and 24. You can pick and choose what you want. The isaphan is truly is as good as people say it is. I usually find passion fruit to be overpowering, but not here. The boxes are gorgeous for gifting and they also have some other desserts and assorted chocolates, depending on the location you visit. This one is pretty small and is devoted mainly to macarons. read more

Best macarons I have ever had in my life. Soft and delicate cookie with yummy flavored fillings. Even my husband, who isn't a fan of macarons, liked these! It is in a great spot outside the Jardin Tuleries. Service was great and offered help in choosing yummy flavors. It's a must add to your list! read more

Stars are because I love the Pierre Hermé line of macarons and sweets! At the same time I ventured to this particular location to try the isaphan croissant and must say it was just ok and overly sweet. I still love the isaphan flavor but I wish the croissant was a little more fluffy and flaky crunchy Otherwise the drinking chocolate is yummy!!! Love the macarons. Pierre Hermé also has multiple locations for macarons and pastries Bonjour! read more

The best macaroons I've ever had! They were so soft even the large macaroons they had. Loved the blended flavors they have along with the souvenir box they come in. Infinitiment Rose: Rose and Rose Petals: light floral taste without being too sweet Mogador: milk chocolate and passion fruit: a lot of the times you can't taste the passion fruit but you could in this. Celeste: passion fruit, rhubarb, and strawberry: nice summer flavor Chocolate: rich and sweet Large Salted Caramel: perfect for sharing on our picnic we had. While Laduree is more famous, I found PH macaroons to taste better and I liked their flavors more. read more
Almost any list you read, almost any pastry chef you talk to, you will head of Pierre Herme's desserts. Chef Pierre has been even awarded the World's best pastry chef honor in 2016. So, how does one go into such a "celebrity pastry chef" status with only 29 years in operations? The answer is, unbelievably delicious desserts. The creativity of macaroons is unparalleled. Olive and Vanilla? Why not. Chocolate and Ginger? Sure. Peach and Saffron? Let's do it. They constructed perfectly and have a level of creativity and wonderful flavor combinations that is unparalleled in the industry. The texture is soft, airy and melts in your mouth. The flavor profile transitions from one to another within the 15 seconds after the first bite, it is just unreal. My visit was unfortunately rather brief here and I would love to return to try more. I do wish that there was a place to sit down and have the macaroons with perhaps some tea. If you are a person that craves dessert on a daily basis, has an affection for macaroons or simply wants to start tasting desserts from the very best, a visit here is an absolute must. read more
If you want to find one of the world's best macarons, look no further. This is where it is at. I have never liked macarons and swore them off after tirelessly trying so many places here in major cities in California. Found them overwhelmingly sweet, hard, and weak in flavor and lacking flavor varieties. The ones here are soft and almost melts in your mouth bursting full of flavor with the just the right amount of sweetness. I love the fact that Pierre Hermé eschews traditional flavor and opts to explore new and unique combinations. So the flavors can be a bit out there for some but I love it! They also change with seasons. So check their website for the current ones. While his most famous one is the Isaphan, a blend of raspberry, rose and litchi, the other flavors do not disappoint at all. I adored all the flavors in my box. Talking about this, makes me miss this and sad that no place I have found here can compare. And with this pandemic, it will be awhile before I can fly back but I look forward to the day when I do! read more

This is the second year in a row I came here and the quality and the taste of the pastries are amazing. I gained a few pounds because of them:) read more
This place was awesome! We were told by a friend who's from France that this place has the best macarons in Paris. They were right! So soft and delicious. So much flavor. We ordered a box of 18 to share. I think my fat butt could have finish that box alone, and eat more! Only downside if there was any...it's a little pricier than other places that sell macaron. But the quality is so much better than other places, so it makes up for it. read more

This place is really decorated with the pastries all beautifully displayed. There were just so many macarons to choose from. I chose the orange and hazelnut macrons, and they tasted really amazing. The infinite vanilla taste was just out of this world. The wonderful luscious vanilla flavour paired with the vanilla cremeux and mousse on a buttery tart as the base was just heavenly. Unfortunately, the server messed up some of our orders, and some of us didn't get the correct beverages. In addition, we were given two incorrect macaron flavours. The server mentioned that the wrong ones would be on the house, but he ended up charging it on our bill. I found this type of customer service to be totally unacceptable. I guess next time I would just buy macarons to enjoy instead of dining in the cafe. read more

Just amazing! Everyone has heard of Ladurée, they are renown worldwide. But not everyone has heard about Pierre Hermé, their closest competitor. I tried both, and I do have to say that it's hard to say for certain which store I liked better, because Ladurée makes mostly conventional, classic macaron flavors and Pierre Hermé makes unusual, creative ones. I will say that PH's infiniment chocolat paineiras was my all time favorite, but both macaron makers make delicious treats. This location is pretty small, and quite crowded. I came around ten minutes before closing, and there were still people inside trying to order. They have a variety of chocolates, macarons, cakes, and pastries. The prices are high, definitely higher than many other shops. However, the quality of their baked goods is outstanding, and the chocolate is delicious. If you're planning to bring some macarons or chocolate home, I would recommend buying from here! Ladurée is good as well, but they have so many locations around the world. To me, PH is a little more on the special side. read more
Although Pierre Herme is renowned for their pastries (and particularly their macarons), I found it to be just all right. When compared to the ones from Laduree, Pierre Herme's lacks a certain crisp. They are more cake-like and dense in texture, and it feels as if I'm eating a brownie rather than a macaron. We ordered two flavours - the hazelnut, and the pistachio. The hazelnut flavour tasted exactly like a Ferrero Rocher. It was extremely nutty, and had chunks of hazelnut bits inside. The pistachio paled in comparison to Le Notre, though the taste and flavour was slightly better than Laduree. You could taste more of the nutty flavour, but it still was nowhere as rich when compared to Le Notre. Decent macarons, but I didn't find it worth the hype nor price! read more
