Eric Kayser

I made it a mission to grab a few bakery items from here every day I was in Paris. This is one of the best places to drop by if you’re a tourist, given that the place is clean, fast (for take out at least), in a prime location, and has great ambiance to boot. The cashiers’ English fluency isn’t the best, but they’re friendly and didn’t laugh at me for pointing wildly at items, or for butchering the pronunciation of croissants the good ol’ American way. :)
Do not miss out on the pain au chocolat. Just do yourself a favor and order it.
FYI: I noticed numerous fresh food items (sandwiches, sides) that you can grab to go on the fridge shelves, if you need something more substantial than just pastries.
The only downside to this place is that you’ll never be satisfied with pastry shops again when you return home.

Surprisingly, it was the sandwiches for lunch rather than the pastries at breakfast that get the four star rating. As big fans of Maison Kayser in the City, we were excited to see Eric Kayser so close to our Place Vendome hotel, so we came here early on our stay for breakfast one morning. The café au lait was good, but not great and the same for the croissant and pain as chocolate. But on our last day in Paris when we were pressed for time, we grabbed some sandwiches here for a quick lunch and they were really excellent.

It was conveniently located next to our hotel so we decided to grab coffee and croissants for breakfast. Unlike the NYC location which is full of tourists, this one seemed to be frequented by local professionals grabbing a quick meal so it was a good place to people watch. The croissant was nothing out of ordinary but the servers were very friendly.

Great friendly service.
We got le parisien and le brunch. Wait was quite long even though the place was far from full.
Drinks were just ok… nothing spectacular.
But bread with jam and butter, the mini pastries and omelet were fantastic. Oj was really good and fresh too!
Def will come back!

Good place to grab a quick lunch. I had the hot dog, quite good. Their quiche is very good as are their pastries. Nothing fancy but clean and nice. Purchasing the food at the counter is a bit confusing, but quick. Staff is helpful and nice.

Great pastries and coffee.

after the remodel the service has really gone downhill. a lot of products not ready when they open or even by 8:30am, some products no longer offered but they don’t know why or if they are available in other eric kayser stores, they just tell you to check for yourself. it seems more and more disorganized, and the service gets slower and slower and less friendly! i try to avoid now as the prices are high and while the quality of the products is good, it is honestly not so much better as to warrant the disorganized service and nonchalant attitude. it seems to be a victim of becoming part of a chain.

One of the best chocolate croissants and café au laits that I’ve ever had. Looking forward to going back and getting the chocolate/​almond croissant.

Franchement, Eric, tu m’as déçu.
Le pain et les sandwichs sont toujours aussi délicieux — rien à redire. On s’installe pour déguster un morceau, mais l’expérience se réduit à un simple ravitaillement entre deux boutiques.
Le confort n’est pas là, l’accueil est inattendu (le manager tape dans une bannière de pain en réclamant qu’on la descende au sous-​sol), le thé est un sachet CR… Bref, on espérait mieux d’une enseigne qui se revendique le haut-​de-​gamme de la boulangerie parisienne. Contentons-​nous de transactions de baguettes et viennoiseries — sur ce point-​là, tu né m’as jamais déçu.

It’s not that it was good or bad, it’s just.. . it’s just.. . simple, common, a dime a dozen. Ya know? Everything I tried is fine as far as taste but it’s not exceptional. I could leave it for sure. You won’t miss anything if you don’t make it here. The best part was grabbing a stool at the glass wall and watching people go by. But you are able to do that in most places in Paris.

Looking for a nice bakery for breakfast, my trusty and indispensable Unilocal app guided me to Eric Kayser. Ordered a Pain Au Chocolat and a Café Crème. The pain au chocolat was fresh and still slightly warm. It was mildly flakey and had just the right about of bite. But the best part was, of course, the chocolate, which was fantastic. It was rich, slightly melted, and absolutely delicious! Paired with a very good cup of coffee, I couldn’t have asked for better way to start my day in Paris.

I got chocolate mousse to go because I was full but still wanted to try it. I ended up eating next day at the airport with café noisette. It was still tasty. Their chocolate mousse had crunchy part to it, and it was not too sweet.

As I wrote elsewhere: bless you Mr Keyser for not only feeding this poor wretch of a traveller in August, when so much is closed, but also for opening at 7am, also when much is closed. You baguettes were magnificent. Your croissants even more so. And the pain chocolat almande… Bliss! Continue your expansion across the ocean — I’ll meet you in Miami.

Yummy desserts. Friendly staff. Great location near the seine. Expensive but quality comes at a price.
Venturing from my usual laduree fare for desserts. I stumbled across this place bc of high reviews on Unilocal.I decided to go for breakfast on my way to musee de orsay. Lineup was short n moved quickly. Lots of staff around but english was a little broken.
I ordered a croissant, cappucino, a muffin and a few macaroons. Yummy… it was so delish my son decided he wanted cake for breakfast.
A wide assortment of cakes. Macaroons. Desserts. Pastries. Muffins. Croissants. Coffees. And baguettes. I highly recomend the cakes!
It was fantastic. Baked goods with yummy desserts. It was difficult to pick only one. We ended up with a box full of treats. Unfortunatly theres a no photo policy so we didnt get shots of the beautiful layout of desserts and sweets. Oh eric kayser… its just as good as laduree with no lineups! If I walk by Im pretty sure I could not resist the heavenly smell and the mouth watering delicaies sold here!

Amazing bread, croissants, danishes and pastries! We had one of each today and it’s all made to perfection. The croissant was flakey and buttery, baguette is so light and delicious, had a caramel éclair and it was surprisingly to die for. Usually pastries are made too sweet but this had the prefect balance in everything. The pain-​aux-​amandes was fresh out of the oven warm and tasteful. Everything is melt in your mouth delicious. I’m so happy to have found you

I like the selection of prepared foods and pasties available at Eric Kayser even in the afternoon when many bakeries are low in baked goods. I got a delicious slice of pistachio pound cake that had pistachio nuts on top. It was very fresh and tasty and although I planned to save some for later, I could not resist eating it all right there at one of their counter seats!

Their breads are delicious!!! This is a must try spot when coming to Paris! ENJOY!

Parfait pour une petite fringale. Service et cadre agréables, mais un peu cher pour ce que c’est.

Go to spot for almond croissants and coffee. Butter, creamy, and flakey I was eating these on the daily for 6 days. The tumeric bread is also to die for. Buy some fois and take it out for a picnic.
Staff is super friendly and very helpful. You might not believe but there aren’t many to go coffee shops in paris but Eric has your back on that too. You won’t be disappointed.

La célèbre boulangerie Kayser dont je né connaissais que deux enseignes dans le quartier latin est en fait présente dans beaucoup plus d’endroits que je pensais.
J’ai découvert ce midi celle du quartier Madeleine/​Opera.
Arrivées à 12h un vendredi en plein mois de juillet, il n’y avait pas trop de monde. Les vitrines encore joliment achalandées avant les passages d’employés et de touristes affamés.
Il y a quelques places assises mais j’imagine qu’elles sont vite occupées.
Il existe plusieurs formules pour le dej a partir de 8,90 € avec sandwich/​salade/​plat + dessert + boisson.
J’ai pris simplement un sandwich, ma pote une salade de concombre et une salade de mangue.
Dans mon sandwich, pain aux céréales très bon, blanc de poulet, avocat, salade, tomate en quantité pas du tout généreuse et surtout ça manquait d’un je-​né-​sais-​quoi pour lui donner du goût. Les salades de légumes sont servies avec un petit pain, les fruits sont frais mais ça reste pas donné.
En gros, ils sont meilleurs dans leur métier de base, le pain et les viennoiseries!

Love this place, it’s served me well 2 years in a row nearby my favorite hotel. I’ve been there for breakfast a few times — grabbing pastries and coffee. Along with baguettes for lunch/​snack. There’s plenty of seating and beverage options.

Why are the Parisian chains so much more appealing to me?! Is it because all the labels look exotic?!
We stopped in here for a casual breakfast one morning. We got a few too many pastries, but we wanted to try more than one!
The nutella stuffed doughnut hole was INSANE. The lady behind the counter gave it to us as a gift because she asked us the singer of the American song that was playing on the radio and was so happy that we knew who it was. She called this little doughnut a ‘treasure’ and boy was she right!
We also got a white chocolate pastry with a slightly crunchy top. She offered to slice it and this was the best breakfast bread ever.
This is the perfect place to go if you want to grab a yummy but cheap breakfast or grab a picnic for the park. They have tons of little take away salads and sandwiches.
3 pastries, 1 tea and an espresso was 12 euros — this was definitely the most affordable meal of our trip!

Mr. Eric Kayser has to stand up and be bold with all the predominantly expensive jewelry stores and designer duds that dot Rue St. Honore.
So, he offers a lucky customer a free DIAMOND if you find «le ticket» in your baguette.
I bought not one, but 2 baguettes.
DOZEN.
Kidding. I did buy a delicious loaf of olive bread and a pre-​packaged pear and gorgonzola salad which we enjoyed at Jardin du Luxembourg, a short metro ride away. The olive bread had a nice crusty exterior and moist, chewy insides dotted with big chunks of olives! The butter is very imminent in the loaf because my paper bag was «sweating» at the end of that metro ride.
While enjoying our simple meal at the park, the bf was curious to see if I was lucky enough to find the ticket in my olive bread and sarcastically I replied, «nope, guess I’ll just have to wait for the one from you!» ;-)

J’y suis passé hier après-​midi, j’ai décidé de m’y poser, un éclair à la pistache à 2,50 EUR sur place, le thé vert Sencha à 3,50EUR (doit être à 2,50 à emporter): L’éclair était sublime, saupoudré de morceaux de cacahuètes La seule chose, à mon avis, la taille de la tasse de thé, un peu juste car il y avait assez d’eau chaude pour trois tassesComme je n’aime pas boire avec le sachet de thé dans ma tasse (tu vois c’ke j’veux dire).Sinon, même pour le prix c’était parfait. Pour les amateurs de salons de thés aux fauteuils confortables, ici c’est bien décoré, moderne mais façon fast-​food, donc on né peut pas squatter sa place trop longtemps.
Pour les éclairs à la pistache, j’aurais du en prendre deux :-)
Pour l’ambiance, touristes et bourgeois pressés malgré l’endroit désert.Mais comme vous le savez, à Paris, il faut avoir l’air pressé(pas les touristes), sûr de soit, dans le coup quoi. :-)))

Vous avez faim et vous travaillez près d’Opéra? Aucun souci, Eric Kayser est là !
Dans cette boutique, des sandwichs, des salades, des soupes, des viennoiseries, des gateaux, des glaces, du pain, des livres de cuisine (signés Kayser bien sur).
Le prix est plutôt élevé (3.80 le sandwich mixte) mais les formules à moins de 10EUR sont plutôt avantageuses.
Le midi, c’est bondé. Tout le monde vient manger les délicieux sandwichs.
A savoir qu’il est possible de déjeuner à l’intérieur mais peu de places.
Une bonne adresse quand on veut manger un sandwich en bossant.

Depuis qu’une boulangerie Kayser s’est ouverte à côté de mon bureau, mes collègues et moi sommes devenus leurs meilleurs clients. Il n’y a rien de tel qu’un petit pain encore chaud (aux figues, céréales, olives ou fromage) le matin avant de travailler ou vers 17h lorsque la journée se fait longue. Leur ciabatta aux olives est aussi délicieuse, tout comme leurs cookies au chocolat blanc. Un arrêt obligatoire avant de piqué-​niquer aux Tuileries!
