Eric Kayser

I ended up stumbling in here one afternoon after getting lost trying to find the Musée d’Orsay (I was REALLY lost okay!). What a find! It was the perfect little lunch spot to fuel up for a long day on my feet.
They had all kinds of delicious looking sandwiches on fresh baguettes, pastries like croissants, tarts, and eclairs, and heavenly smelling fresh bread loafs. Being that I don’t know much French I kinda just pointed to what looked decent. Turned out that I chose a tuna fish sandwich. It was so tasty. The tuna tasted fresh and the veggies weren’t wilted or brown which can sometimes happen with prepackaged sandwiches. With the sandwich I got a chocolate éclair. SO YUMMY! Definitely the best éclair I had while in Paris. They gave me a lunch deal (sandwich, pastry, and drink) for around € 9.
The cashiers working the day I visited spoke great English, and customer service was fine. I didn’t experience any rudeness, but they weren’t overly friendly which is kinda the normal attitude in Paris from my experience.
If you’re in the Musée d’Orsay area, Eric Kayser is a great place to stop by and grab a quick lunch or one of their yummy pastries for a treat!

Rudest cashier I’ve ever had. I gave my order quite clearly in French and also pointed to the items as they were right in front of me. He brought out a baguette which I assumed was for someone else, because I ordered two brioches. All the while he was chatting with others as if I was invisible and even reached past my face to shake some man’s hand. Body language is universal and that snob was throwing shade. Bitch made me have a Julia Roberts in «Pretty Woman» moment. The baguette wasn’t even all that, haha…

It was my first stop in Paris & I was starving. I was not surprised to see a long line of locals waiting to order. My sandwich was delicious (ham & cheese) on the most amazing baguette. I had to try the croissant & it too was delicious.
Unfortunately it was quite crowded inside so I had to share a table with a stranger (she was a very nice French woman).

If you’re ever in Paris, this boulanger has the best almond croissant’s I’ve ever had! I even made a special trip before my flight to bring some home! Lightly crisp on the outside and oh so good on the inside… Nom nom nom!

It’s difficult for me to write a negative review because I am a fan of their brand. However, tourists beware of being overcharged! I told my server that I was getting my lunch ‘takeaway’ or ‘to-​go’. The cashier charged my entire order for ‘here’, which meant I was paying about 5 more euros than I should have.
After I noticed the overcharge, I went back and pulled up that they had overcharged me in Google Translate since my 3 years high school French isn’t that good. They asked me for my receipt but since I was not given one, I had little recourse even though she rang me up 1 minute prior. Out of pity, I was given 1 euro back even though she saw how much I ordered.
Tourists beware!

Muy buena panadería y pastelería. Rápida atención.

So happy I found this amazing boulangerie. After visiting Musee D’Orsay we were starving and needed some fuel. Luckily this EK is just a few blocks away from the museum. We walked in and I was in la la land. There was a long line but it moved quick. We ordered two baguette sandwiches. Their bread had sesame seeds and poppy seeds on it. I forget what type of meat we got but they were both delicious. We also ordered a salmon quiche which was a little oily but the crust was nice and flaky. The fruit tart was amazing. I couldn’t help myself and grabbed a few croissants too. We got our food to go since it was so packed inside and there were no available tables. Instead we had a little picnic by the seine. This place is amazing!

Great bakery, coffee, and desserts. Small and busy boulanger. Yum!
Desserts we tried — lemon tart, strawberry tart, and gelato. All divine.

The absolute best
I had breakfast and lunch there every day !
Employees lovely attractive pleasant and helpful
Great coffee great omlettes
Yogurt in glass jars the very best

Best baguette in my 20 visits to Paris since 1971. Cost 1 euro. Sublime macarons. GoIng again this morning for croissants.
Paris, like New York City (my hometown since my ancestors arrived in 1868) can be an aggravating place. Dirty, noisy and crowded with unfriendly locals. But Paris can redeem itself when my stomach & spirits are uplifted with such divine baked goods such as these @ Eric Kayser.

I just had, what is quite possibly, one the best sandwiches I have ever tasted in the existence of me on this planet. Wow! words can’t describe the explosion of joy and happiness my taste buds experienced. I can’t wait to return!

I could probably eat myself sick here. The croissants and chocolate au pain are at the top of my list of best ever. There are several locations scattered in Paris so try to hit one. I promise you won’t be disappointed. I only wish I could have had more of their offerings. Service was helpful. You can grab items to go or order and dine in.

Pas spécialement fan de cette boulangerie… Le côté «Woa, boulangerie de luxe» passé très vite, le regard change, et on ressent finalement un côté très «nourriture industrielle» dans cet endroit.
Ok, les gâteaux sucrés sont bons et les serveuses polies.
Mais les sandwichs sont médiocres, et il y a trop de monde le midi pour ce que c’est; une boulangerie fast food.
Quand je vois les touristes manger sur les quelques tables au fond de la salle, dans le bruit ambiant avec la queue pour la caisse à un mètre, j’ai un peu de peine pour eux car la fine épicerie à la française, ce n’est pas ça !
Voilà. Personnellement, après y être allé plusieurs fois je n’ai pas accroché. Il y a d’autres boulangeries bien plus sympas et de bien meilleure qualité dans le quartier, et aussi pour des touristes qui visitent la capitale.

I used to avoid this place for two reasons. All the girls in my life used to get this spark in their eye when they talked about Eric Kayser. To compound that jealousy, this popular chap decided to name the place after himself, what a prick, right? Well, I finally gave in, and so happy I did because now I get that spark too.
A recent quick trip to Paris brought me back here again and the Eric Kayser kingdom still impressed after all these years. I would suggest to stay true and opt for the fresh baked goods as well as the quiche, in particular the one with the artichoke hearts– as it tasted out of this world fantastic. (Thanks for not using those crumby artichoke hearts that plague American salad bars but instead real mini artichokes with big full-​flavor hearts. God.) Any of the croissants will be perfectly crispy and definitely steer close to any baked good covered in fresh berries, figs, apricots or chocolate. Lastly, get their cappuccino. I’ve attached a picture. It will be tough to have another coffee after this one.
Eric: Please open a branch in San Francisco; need to put mushrooming and declining La Boulange back in check…

This Eric Kayser was closest to our hotel. Before making our way out for the day, the Mr & I definitely needed croissants & coffees to fuel our spirits
Huge line as we approached & we saw it was mostly locals, standing in the «to-​go» line for their daily breads /​baguettes. We chose to eat there & went to the left side of the counter where we were directed to seat ourselves & the waitress would come take our order
Service was pretty slow but also have to say there were only 2 poor girls working that side of the counter & the place was packed so bring your patience
Cappuccinos & Croissants — as with the other location we visited, the capps were small & we needed more for the road. They were also a bit bitter & could have used more creamy milk. There was also NO cute, delicious pistachio madeleine to go along w/​our coffee — boo! I guess for that, you’ll need to hit the location near the Louvre
Croissants were still flaky & buttery & crunchy on the outside yet soft & doughy on the inside. Our biggest mistake was not getting more for the following morning — they’re not open on Mondays & when we arrived late Sunday before they closed, to try to stock up for Monday morning, everything was sold out. Timing is everything & when you see the croissant, *seize the croissant!*
Recap? Coffee — 3 stars. Croissant — 5 stars for an overall 4-​Stars

On my recent trip to Paris my friend & I stayed very close to this amazing bakery. We visited almost every morning. They have delicious croissants, quiche & baguettes. They also make a yummy cappuccino. If you want to eat there take a seat & the waiter will come. Otherwise order at the counter for take away. This shop is popular with Parisians & tourists and it is not to be missed!

Very good fresh bread, pastries, and desserts. I tried a berry tart, the macaroons, and their «cookie noir,» which turned out to be a chocolate chip cookie of sorts with a ton of extra chocolate as well as a bit of a nougat-​like texture. Wish I could take this place all over the world with me. Very bustling and busy, you’ll want to get in and get out then enjoy your treats at home. We came 4 – 5 times during our 10-​day stay in Paris.

Artisan Boulangerie meaning all products must be made ON SITE and all ingredients must be SOURCED DIRECTLY from the mill. NO ADDITIVES are allowed to be used either. If you ask me, buying bread/​baking anywhere else would be foolish (accept maybe from another AB of course). We will have gone to this place a total of 3 times during our 5 day stay (and it’s not particularly close to our apartment).
Traditional baguette and croissant are perfect selon moi.
Vibe is busy so it seems like more of a «grab and go» place, not ideal for sit-​down.

Eric Kayser is an established boulangerie chain that’s scattered throughout Paris.
But don’t let the fact that it’s a chain discourage you from visiting. The whole shop is heaven on earth. All the breads, pasteries, and chocolate treats looked fabulous and delicious (from the looks of it). The brillant rainbow of colors were amazing. The attention to detail was uncanny! See my photos.
I purchased just a few macarons and they all tasted great. I wish I could have purchased more but I was saving my appetite for dinner only five minutes away. Speaking of dinner, there’s a lot of cool choices for restaurants and small food shops on Rue de Verneuil.
Using only English I experienced very nice and courteous service from the girls behind the counter.

We came here for a quick bite for lunch on the recommendation of friends and unfortunately we weren’t all that impressed. We only had sandwiches and a piece of their zucchini quiche so unfortunately I can’t comment on the sweets, but the sandwiches just weren’t all that impressive. The bread was fresh but it was also all I tasted of my simple ham and butter sandwich. Unfortunately just a bit over-​hyped if you ask me, maybe I’d have been happier if I had tried the pastries…

Someone recommended to try one of them when we are in Paris. The morning we were to visit Musee D’Orsay, we paid a visit… it was on our way from where we stayed.
Everything looked good. We had:
–artichoke quiche
–sugar doughnut? (can’t remember the name)
–chausson aux pommes
-«Ulti» smoothie fruits rouges
–hot tea
–coffee
Everything was yummy and the price was great! Service was lovely considering it’s only a little shop (with many branches). The ONLY thing that really bothered me was a almost dead cockroach on the floor… next to our table… yes, it’s a reminder that no matter how clean the place is… we are in a big city… Paris.
But will we go back if we are ever in Paris? OUI…

Trois étoiles pour le pain de cette maison mais elle né les mérite pas, car le personnel y est désagréable. Vous êtes expédiés le mot est approprié la dame vous dit, limite, bonjour pendant qu’elle emballe le pain et ils né savent pas conseiller leur clientèle (quel pain conviendrait avec du fromage). Mieux vaut se rendre à la boulangerie Maillard, rue Jacob, où le personnel y est très agréable, à l’écoute et de bon conseil.

C’est une assez bonne boulangerie, mais les prix sont élevés et la gérante est tellement désagréable !

En basant simplement mon avis sur la tartelette aux framboises que j’ai pu goûter l’autre jour, je dirais que ce n’était pas mauvais mais MAIS MAIS: pourquoi ce dôme de confiture au milieu du gâteau à la place des fruits frais qu’on aurait pu y trouver? WHY? PORQUE? WARUM? Voilà, c’est le mystère que j’aimerais résoudre. Sinon, j’ai trouvé la pâte un peu trop molle. Au final, pas terrible à mon goût quoi !

There are about 15 Eric Kayser’s boulangeries in Paris now. This one is close to where we stayed on our most recent visit. Not open on Sunday, it was our morning stop every other day.
Absolutely perfect pastries and great coffee. Huge selection. Comfortable and clean. Not much else needs to be said.
