Rather than just French, I made a point to try Mori Yoshida (a Japanese French) patisserie. Located close to Invalides, the patisserie is modern and very tidy. They specialize in desserts and sweet baked goods. They don't make croissants. I tried a tartelette au pomme. Delicate pastry which had a carmelized base and thin slices of tender apple . Delicious from the first bite! Later that day I ate a slice of Mori Yoshida flan after dinner. The pastry was amazing. Almost like a millefeuille without the extra layer of pastry. The custard cream was SO smooth with delicate vanilla flavor. Yum! My friend got a Saint Honoré Citron cake. I had a bite. The pastry wasn't crisp on the top and the cream was too sweet for my taste. Even though the place is marked €€€, actually it's quite reasonable compared to celebrity patisseries. It's more like €€. I will return to try more sweets! Definitely recommended patisserie Food: 4.5 stars Service: 5 stars Ambiance: 4.5 stars (take out only) read more

More Yoshia was recommended to us by our Vrbo host. And I am so thankful for him! I am still dreaming of these wonderful and beautifully crafted pastries and desserts! There are no indoor seating so this is an order and go place. Luckily our vrbo was a short walk away and we were able to enjoy these delectable desserts in our home away from home. Everything about the desserts is so well crafted and detailed. They do speak English and we were able to order easily. Please get the French custard tart! read more

These were the best parties I've ever had. Not even just in Paris, but in the world. Mori Yoshida is clearly a master of his craft. The shop is very tiny and minimalistic, but the service was fantastic and fast. We tried chocolate eclairs, a lemon and hazelnut pastry, and an apricot mousse pastry. 10/10 for all of them. Highly recommend! read more

Mori Yoshida - Desserts Near Me - Paris, 75

Saw this beautiful shop just a block from where I was staying and was genuinely blown away by the desserts. This Japanese inspired pastry shop has very interesting flavors and the presentation is top notch. I went towards the end of the day and some options had run out. But these two treats, especially the grapefruit tart, was one of the best desserts we had in our time in Paris. The place is a bit pricer than most others (6 euro per) but it was definitely worth it. Would go back in a heartbeat! read more

A variety of cakes with a delicate Japanese taste. I love the strawberry cakes in spring . The puddings, eclairs, and Mont Blanc are also exquisitely delicious that can only be tasted here. Apple and other fruit pies are also delicate and wonderfully delicious. I like chocolates, cookies, and cakes for someone to gift. The package are simple chic elegant look. 春の苺のロールケーキやショートケーキが大好きです。 定番のプリン、エクレア、モンブランもお気に入りで、我が家にかかせません。 アップルなどフルーツのパイも繊細で美味しいです。 日持ちのするチョコレートやクッキー、ケーキを、手土産などに利用させていただいていますが、どれもとても美味しく上品です。 パリに１店舗しかありませんが、通うのが楽しみなパティスリーです。 これからも新作など楽しみにしています。 read more

Q-U-A-L-I-T-Y!!! You can really taste quality in Mori Yoshida's master pieces. Amazing! Even looking at these treats is just so delicious. Prices may seem a bit high but it will not really bother you after you take a bite. The Yuzu cake actually had a few chunks of the fruit. It was layered with Chocolate cake, and every bite was so enjoyable. The taste goes from tarty to the chocolate neutralizing the flavor in your mouth. You can't get tired of it! We also got the Cream Caramel Pudding, which was also delicious. Reminds me of this Pudding from Japan... very subtle sweetness but the flavor is there. It's so delicious, I had to use my finger to make sure I wasn't wasting any! By the way, there are no seats or tables here. read more

Well, I think it's time you knew... I'm turning Japanese. Some of my favorite sweet spots here in Paris are Japanese owned and/or inspired, and the newly opened, Mori Yoshida, is no exception. Mori Yoshida marries the decadence of French traditionalism with clean, artistic Japanese flair. Sweetly situation in the shadow of Napoleon's tomb, on the east side of Avenue Breteuil, it is the 7th arrondissement's new secret. I discovered this little gem as I do most places these days... zipping by on my trottinette. "What was that?" *brakes screeching* Suddenly, I'm carefully walking my trottinette home with a full box of pâtisseries to try... (gratefully I had roommates to help with the arduous task of eating them all. And by arduous I mean fantastic. ) In a city where gaudy, ancient decor and decoration reigns (and we love it), Mori Yoshida's clean and utilitarian shop offers our eyes a stark and zen retreat, and showcases their delicious chocolates, cakes, pastries, and viennoiseries with aplomb. Every confection is an artistic feat. ...Plus they have a silver tray of chocolate truffle samples. La classe ! The mastermind behind this unique and creative bakery is Morihide Yoshida, a young, award-winning Japanese pastry chef in his mid-thirties. After winning the grand prize twice on a Japanese television show, and opening a bakery in Shizuoka, Japan, Morihide decided that Parisians would be the next to benefit from the fruits of his genius. (And we're happy about that, trust me.) My favorite of the bunch was the pistachio saint honoré. It was incredibly decadent-the cream puffs were filled with a raspberry-ish custard, and the pistachio cream? Holy cream balls. read more

Each piece of pastry is like a work of art! I have no words to describe such perfection! Simply divine . Just a shame my bf doesn't care for sweets, I had to eat them all myself... I even brought some home on flight... even after getting smushed, it was still amazing tasting read more

My all time favorite patisserie in Paris. Major croissant aficionado, this bakery has the most perfectly crisp outter pastry shell with flaky buttery interior that you always crave for in a well balanced croissant. I will almost always also pick up the the tarte de citron, canele and chausson aux pommes which I find they do particularly well here. Highly recommend if you're a croissant purist. Only drawback is that the croissants are not always warm, but because they aren't and they still have a beautiful texture and taste - you know these croissants are legit! read more

I have made it a part of my life to find the best croissant, no matter where I go I order one hoping for that transcendent buttery feeling of perfection. I am disappointed 95% of the time as people don't prepare their dough the correct way, so most croissants are just a dinner roll with a flakey top and maybe a hint of butter. THIS is the croissant I have been searching for, a stick of butter in every flakey, creamy croissant...the dough actually melts in your mouth! The rest of his creations are from heaven, congratulations to his crew for doing God's work! When in Paris PLEASE go here. read more

The pear tartlet was so good. The memory of it will haunt me after I return to the US.

The Beige is possibly my favorite pastry in Paris - I'd eat it for breakfast, lunch, or dinner in a heartbeat! In my opinion, Mori Yoshida is one of Paris's most underrated pâtisseries, and this review is really 4.5 stars. The décor is open and airy, with lots of light-colored wood and glass, and the pastries are uniformly elegant and beautiful. As opposed to Sadaharu Aoki, Mori Yoshida's pastries don't have much of a Japanese influence: neither a dusting of matcha nor a red bean anywhere to be seen. Although his work is on par with that of Paris's top pâtissiers, prices are extremely reasonable, and none of the pastries exceed 6 euros. Beige (5.30€): definitely among my favorite pastries in Paris, and definitely my favorite flavor combination - reminiscent of milk tea in tart form. It's a tart with chocolate shortcrust, chocolate croustillant, orange-dark chocolate ganache, topped with a light lime and Darjeeling tea crème. Shortcrust and croustillant were crunchy with lots of dark chocolate flavor. Loved the orange-chocolate ganache, which had strong orange flavors. The lime-Darjeeling crème is absolutely incredible, light and airy but with a very pronounced tea flavor. Top-notch flavors, balance, texture, and presentation with very restrained use of sugar. Love it, 10/10. Saint-Honoré (5.30€): 9.5/10: Three vanilla cream puffs with caramel shells on a feuille base with a swirl of vanilla Chantilly. Stunning presentation, so beautiful I didn't even want to eat it! The chantilly cream was the best I've ever had, head and shoulders above any other, with the perfect airy but substantial consistency and extremely strong vanilla flavor (look at all those vanilla bean flecks!) Cream puffs were perfect, the pâte à choux was nicely cooked with a nice bite and the caramel shells were perfectly golden. Feuille base was the slightly doughier kind, which was actually better here for scooping up all that amazing chantilly without making a huge mess. If they make this in other flavors, I want. 9.5/10 Paris-Brest (5.50€): classic round cream puff pastry and hazelnut mousseline sandwich. Mori Yoshida's is slightly unusual, with a lemon-hazelnut mousseline praliné instead of straight hazelnut, which added a nice subtle touch of sourness and tanginess - great way of solving the issue that some Paris-Brest have with being too heavy. The hazelnut mousseline was extremely flavorful with crushed hazelnut and almond bits, nice texture, perhaps just a tiny bit 'greasy.' loved the crushed almonds in the center and on the puff pastry, great roasty flavor and texture, puff pastry itself was cooked more than usual but i think it works here. This was the least sweet Paris-Brest I've had, which was definitely a good thing. Not at all overwhelming, excellent overall, 8/10. Polonaise cassis (5.30€): Italian meringue with toasted almonds surrounding two layers of soaked brioche, cassis core, vanilla crème. The Italian meringue had a perfectly roasted marshmallowy texture, but it was way too sweet for me! The brioche layers were nice and soft, unsure what they were soaked in but it was infused with tea and I wasn't a huge fan of the combination. The inside was mushy and there was definitely more lemon flavor than cassis. Beautiful construction and presentation, but too sweet, too wet, and too many components that didn't work together. I may just not be a fan of polonaise in general, but 4.5/10. Situated on the long park along Avenue de Breteuil, the location is remote enough that I almost didn't bother coming to Mori Yoshida during my two-month pastry adventure. That would have been a mistake, because this hidden gem is doing fantastic work. Mori Yoshida is probably the shop I'm most looking forward to revisiting next time I'm in Paris, I can't wait to see what else they have in store. Get the Beige! read more

Had the Caramelized Apple on top of millefeuille. It was well done. Chocolate croissant and canelle was great even overnight. read more

Mori Yoshida - Desserts Near Me - Paris, 75

The store looks so good that I imagined everything to taste amazing. Unfortunetally, that was not the case. Macarons were chewy and lacked the beaytiful fluffy texture that makes them divine. They felt stale to me.. The Canelle was nice but the chocolates were unsatisfying and had a bit of a weird after taste to them that I could not point exactly. Nothing I tasted was of higher value than the tourist trap 'chocolatiers' that are spreaded around the city's tourism sites. read more

The location is the pits but the macarons are supreme. I loved the vanilla and a friend confirmed its scrumptiousness. Unfortunately their flavors aren't quite as adventurous as Sadaharu Aoki or Pain de Sucre, but the consistency is perfect. Perfect! Tried a cake that was also lacking a bit in the flavor department (needed more intensity) but divine once again in its consistency and texture. Very pleasant staff and beautiful/immaculate store design. read more
