I'm hoping this is the one near the korea-town... anyways, my first macaroon stop in paris!! Boy was I excited! I got so many flavors, i don't remember which was when when I was eating because ...they didn't have the flavors in english..but my salesperson did speak english. There is so many flavors, more than laduree and cheaper too. The only one I did really fancy was the rose one... the other ones were ehh, but I still think this place is better than laduree in terms of it being not too sweet, just perfect...all it's missing is a flavor I like..well more than one anyways. read more

Pierre Herme changed my taste buds towards macaroons. Never cared for those colorful delights but one bite into Pierre Herme's bitesized connection it was life changing. Drop by and try one, you won't be disappointed. Your wallet might be though lol. Loved the salted caramel, chocolate, cafe, citron lime with yogurt. That lime and yogurt was a citron burst in my mouth. Surprising first with the overwhelming flavor of lime but refreshing really between all those other sweet flavors. The rose was also good with a hint of rose and light middle. Even the chocolate with passion fruit was mighty delicious. read more

Dear Pierre Herme, I would've bought more than 4 macarons, even though I don't LOVE macarons as much as I used to. But, you only had boxes for 24 macarons (not the 7 macaron-box) and I really didn't feel like spending over 40 euros on 24 macarons (you insisted, not one less!). And you said this was the case across all of your stores. Instead I ate some smushed macarons later in the day and the following day. At least they were still good. If I wasn't so busy shopping, I may have stopped at another one of your shops to see if the 7 macaron boxes were really all sold out. Love, Irene H. read more

Phenomenal macarons. They've got some really interesting flavors going on here, including some that incorporate savory notes of foie gras and caviar. My favorite was the passionfruit, though. The texture is perfect and if you're taking these home as a gift like I did, don't worry. I refrigerated them as much as I could and they were just a great three days after purchasing. ALMOST as good as laduree, which I still prefer due to its more traditional flavors. Still, I wouldn't complain if they decided to open a PH in the states. read more

Pierre Herme! Wow just wow! You are hands down the best macaron in Paris! Soft gooey amazingness that you are - I couldn't stop thinking about you for the rest of my trip and wanting to come back here! The macarons are soft and not too sweet and they literally melt in your mouth! The flavors and combos are to die for - they are great at making perfect combos whereas Laduree is more on the traditional flavors side of things. By the ispahan - get it! And the ispahan macaron ice cream bar - do it! It is the best ice cream bar I've ever had - I still dream of it! The store front of chic and modern and everything is so colorful and pretty!! read more

Pierre herme is a chain and I think we went to every location in Paris but this location has pastries on top of their signature macaroons. Of course their macaroons are amazing but the raspberry rose water croissant blew my mind. I'm not huge on croissants and dont even like raspberry that much and also didn't know rose water was a flavor but it was crazy good. We travelled 30 min back to this location just to get another one. read more

I have to admit that I was a Laduree fan until I came here. The intense flavor, the freshness and the ice cream. You have to come here when you are in Paris. It's the best in my heart now read more

This location is so close to the Westin where we stayed at during our trip that we came here everyday for our daily dose of macarons. Thanks to my husband who agreed to get dragged along to Pierre Herme everyday. But hey, even he ended up loving PH macarons. Pierre Herme is the god of macarons and the macarons were the best I've had. They were so delicate and beautiful. The employee told us that the flavors rotate according to the season. In addition to the seasonal flavors, there is a special flavor every month. We were in Paris at the end of Aug and beginning of Sept so we got to try the August-only and September-only flavors, as well as the seasonal summer-only flavors. Note that this location does not have pastries (croissants, cakes). They carry mainly macarons and chocolates. read more

I am huge on macarons and I did go to Paris in hopes to find Pierre Hermè The jasmine macaron was very sad, like it didn't want to be eaten out of embarrassment of tasting so sad. The other two macarons that I had were very good. The special Jardin one I tried was minty and refreshing. What would have made these macarons even better was if they were cool ratger than room temp. The best macarons that I've had so far are Maison Burdisso in Houston's Rice University farmer's market. read more

This review comes from a macarons aficionado who has eaten them since childhood living in Paris. As I walked past the Pierre Herme shop on October 23rd on my way to the Place de la Concorde, I decided to try their macarons for the first time as I always purchase from La Durée. I ordered a box of 12 macarons. Left the shop and started eating them and one after the next had a hard shell and a chewy/sticky interior. Only 1 out of 5 was flakey on top and soft in the middle. I returned to complain and the lady in charge of the store made a big fuss, trying to discredit me and even said that they would not accept them back unless they are "rassis" ie. stale in English. Not only did she not accept to reimburse me, she proceeded to touch with her fingers my macarons and publicly shame me. What kind of service is that? Clearly the attitude that the customer is always wrong still endures... I would beware of this outlet that is clearly badly managed and with merchandise that is not fresh. read more

Macarons. This is the reason you're probably here. And they are good. The honey one particularly is awesome. So, why the one star? Because the way they treat customers could use some improvements. I walked into this Pierre Herme store and stood there for a good 3-4 minutes with one of the store clerks looking straight at me a few times but never acknowledged whether I was ready or had any questions. She found it much more important to place additional macarons onto the display trays that had plenty of the same kind of macaron flavors on them already. Right, because the macarons just can't wait to be transported from the back counter to the display. Okay, so I let it go and spoke to my travel partner about the various flavors. When the store clerk decided she was ready to take my order and interrupted by asking if she can help me during my conversation, I made her wait until I was done with my conversation. She then turns around to her coworker and commented in English that I ignored her when she said hi. Excuse me? What kind of customer service is that? You can be English, American, Chinese, French, but part of customer service is that you don't outright talk about your customers. Talk about your customers behind closed doors at a staff meeting. Talk about your customers over beer after work. But not in their face. Pierre Herme has awesome and high quality products and I wouldn't take that away from the brand. But customer service/experience is a large part in building and maintaining a brand. No one has continued success with having high quality product but poor customer service because as much as we eat with our mouths and stomach, we also eat with our feelings. I've been to other Pierre Herme stores in Paris and I had a wonderful experience. I even purchased additional items based on the subsequent recommendations from the clerk. I hope this experience is an isolated situation. read more

Ok today I was blown away. I had macarons that topped mine. Pierre Hermes goes beyond "tradition" macarons that rely on singular flavors. They dual fill their macarons as well as mix the cookie flavors. I kick myself for not trying them sooner. They are located right next to my hotel the Melia Vendome and I did not try them on my April trip to Paris. I now have a new staple location to visit. FYI their collections are seasonal so you will not run out of options if you visit at different times of the year. On 9/9 I tried Mahogany (salty caramel, coconut with a mango filling), Jasmine & grapefruit, Montebello (pistachio and raspberry), and infinite praline (pillowy with crunchy pieces of praline adorning the exterior. I can happily say these topped mine with their creative combinations. I now know I can let loose and not get labeled as an unconventional American. read more

Stumbled into this place while just wondering the streets of Paris! I had heard that it's the place to get macarons so obviously I stepped in! Got an assortment of macarons and they are by far the best macarons I've tasted! Super moist and the filling was generous! My favorite flavor was the rose. So good! I almost wished I had just gotten a box of just that flavor! They do weird flavor combinations and I tried a few and they were all good but the rose flavored once stands out as the best in my opinion! Hands down better than the macrons I had at Laduree or Angelina's. read more

In my quest to find the best macarons in Paris, I was not disappointed here. I cannot ever eat American made macarons again :(.

Poor customer service. After waiting in line, my wife and I were ignored when it was our turn to be helped by the staff. The classless woman standing behind us drew the staff's attention so she was helped first... and she was ordering a single macaron. read more

colorful, light, rich in flavor & gorgeous little pillows of sweetness. Pierre Herme is a famous chocolatier but his macarons & madeleines were the best treats in Paris!! we did go back a few times to different locations because we just couldn't get enough. pistachio, madagascar vanilla, chocolate, rose & raspberry... over two short weeks we definitely had our fill! read more

How have I not written about Pierre Hermé yet?! First let me say that I have been to Paris 4x now and though I'd like to think I have a good grasp on what's cool and new, it mattered a great deal to me to ask a friend who actually lives in Paris about where to go and what to eat. Having been a longtime fan of Ladurée, I had to know if they really were the end all be all of French macarons. And you know her answer? It was no! Sort of. And I was shocked because I feel like the whole world knows Ladurée to be the best of the best. And they are still absolutely amazing at making some of the worlds best macarons. So why Pierre Hermé? They're like a breath of fresh air. They're flipping the traditional flavors and colors of macarons on their heads, and while the look and texture and technique seems similar to Ladurée, Pierre Hermé takes things to a whole new level. It was actually impossible to go in and reasonably buy just 1-3 macarons. I had to get a dozen because I simply wasn't able to narrow the selection down based on how creative and exciting the choice of flavors were. Better yet, beyond macarons they have dozens of other amazing items to choose from. All of the confections and baked goods look like art. They are art! Everything is so detailed and so gorgeous that photos can't do it justice. I was just astounded with the selection of items and the quality of the craftsmanship. The line right at opening was long but it moved quickly. Service was impeccable and the gal at the register spoke English fluently. Phew! She also gave us packing and shipping information about the products we bought so we knew its expected shelf life. Perfect for folks wanting to take items home to friends and family. Stunning place! read more

Never really a fan of macaroons and i finally know why after my maiden Pierre Herme experience at Lafayette Paris. It's because I have never had real macaroons until I had it from Pierre Herme ! It is OUT-OF-THIS-WORLD !! Even for my parents who are not dessert fans, their mouths left open in amazement upon the first bite ! How can something so small and pretty be so good ! that's the only question that was stuck in my head for months now that Im already 400 miles away from France. A lil Parisian tips : The Eiffel tower should not be your first destination upon arrival if you visit Paris. read more

Best macarons! I visited Pierre Herme and Laduree during my visit to Paris in search for the best macaron. I personally find that Pierre Herme's flavors are more unique and interesting. I couldn't stop thinking about the passionfruit flavor. My husband and I brought a few boxes from Pierre Herme to bring back home even though Laduree's gift boxes are way cuter. We also bought some in the gift box for our family from Laduree. After 5 days in the fridge, I have to say that Pierre Herme's ones were more fresh and still as tasty as when I first got them. I cannot wait to come back for more macarons during our upcoming trip. read more

Yum! My French friend told me these were worth the hype and she was right! I bought 6 macaroons and a few chocolates. My favorites were the rose and the salted butter! There flavors are a little more unique than Laduree. Good thing I only bought one of each because these were quite delicious little morsels. There was a line out the door the afternoon that I went... But it's worth the wait! read more

As good as it gets and 100x better than the chocolates/macarons at Laduree! Every time we're in Paris, we make sure to stock up. And even after a week, macarons still taste fresh, moist and chewy soft unlike the macarons at Laduree which dry up after 2 days. This isn't unique or anything since all the patisseries and chocolatiers in Paris devote a ton of attention to packaging, Pierre Herme's gift boxes are beyond cute and make great gifts for anyone! read more

Came here on a tip about the best macaroons in Paris, must confess that I had never had them before so my curiosity was totally spiked and we were on a mission to find it. Since we were staying in the Montparnasse area, we thought it would be a great experience if we got a bit closer on the metro and walked the 1 arr to get know it better. What a fantastic experience, it was a cold December morning but quite sunny and perfect for a stroll. Coming upon the place, was the best reward, the moment we stepped inside and saw how busy it was we knew we had found gold. Of course it had a lot to do with the fact that it was a few days before Christmas and people were getting some last minute sweet, delicious creations for their families, friends and loved ones. The presentation, packaging and craftsmanship of the pastries, truffles, macaroons and more are simply... perfect. We brought back as much as we could carry and made it last as long we could and even after days of careful storage and rationing, the Pierre Herme pieces were awesome !!! No trip or visit to Paris is complete with a stop, or many to Pierre Herme. This particular store is small and there is absolutely no wasted space, just the necessary displays and counter tops, warm decor, efficient but good service, very proud of the products they create and serve and it shows with the patience and care with which they explain every piece to locals and visitors alike. read more

forget bouchon, forget laduree, HELLO Pierre Herme -- i have fallen in love with Pierre Herme's macarons. i bought 3 because they are a bit pricey. I got: MOSAÏC - Pistachio, Ceylon Cinnamon & Morello Cherries MOGADOR - Milk Chocolate & Passion Fruit INFINIMENT JASMIN - Jasmine Flower & Jasmine Thea all of them tasted heavenly. The Jasmine was so light but you can taste the jasmine flavor, it's like you're drinking jasmine tea. The passionfruit one was good, very strong passionfruit. I often have macaron with passionfruit but it's always not strong enough. However out of the three macrons, i liked this one the least, perhaps it's cuz it was the least unique. The mosaic was very good, that pistachio and cinnamon was just wow. the cinnamon didn't overpower other flavors, it was just right. the cookies were perfect, they weren't crumbly. and the ratio of the cookie and the filling was just right. Overall these macarons were not overly sweet and each flavor does taste like what they are called. I've been to places were the flavor doesn't taste the same as what they're called. The flavors here are more tasty than the ones in Laduree. Some of the flavors found in laduree are just too weird. I would recommend people to buy a macaron from Laduree and another from from here and compare which one is better. read more

Ok Pierre Herme is a MUST-TRY in Paris for macaroons and chocolates. They carry so many different varieties of macaroons that your head starts spinning and you are at loss. If you want to try every flavor they carry, go ahead, we don't blame you at all... Well who wouldn't want to eat every flavor of their yummy macaroons. I don't remember what flavors I got, but I know I got several of those and they were gone in minutes! They just effortlessly melt in your mouth and give you a rush of happiness. Enjoy it. It's worth it... Here's the thing - Even if you don't like macaroons in general, you'll still fall in love with Pierre Herme's macaroons and trust me on that :) read more

Pierre Herme's macarons are perfection--the best in all of Paris! I've always been a huge fan of the other popular Parisian macaron shop, Lauduree, but Pierre Herme definitely gives Laduree a run for its money and offers unique flavor combinations that you won't usually find at other places. The Caramel au Beurre Sale & the Citron and Praline Feuillete Noisette are to die for. The girls who work here are friendly and helpful. This is a great location next to upscale luxury boutiques, so stop by in between shopping. Don't leave Paris without buying a box...or five. read more

No trip to Paris can be complete without visiting Pierre Hermé, home of the Parisian macaroon. These macaroons are the standards that I hold against all other macaroons. You've not tasted a macaroon until you've tried it here. It's light and crispy egg shell-like crust when combined with the moist and chewy interior is unrivaled. It's flavors are equally exquisite. Sadly, these macaroons don't travel well so you must savor them as soon as possible for maximum delight. Even so, even after traveling several days across Europe, these macaroons are still far more superior than any I've tasted state-side. Be warned, these are not pastries for gorging because each tiny morsel runs 3€ to 5€ (or $5 to $8 USD). [Original Visit: March 26, 2009] read more

I probably spent way to much on macarons... After trying both Pierre Hermé and Ladurée, I have to say I love Pierre Hermé just a little more. The salted caramel and the rose were just so good that I had to come back for more. read more

In such close proximity to all the museums you must come here if you are a fan of macaroons. After getting some Laduree macaroons i needed something to compare them to. This location is small but the girls were very sweet and helped me pick out some great gifts. i also picked up a pack of small praline cookies. I can't say which macaroons i like best but these are very good. Price wise they are about the same as Laudree but you should decide for yourself whose macaroons reign supreme. read more

Ditch Laduree and get your tushy to PH! Less crowds, no disgruntled workers, and much better tasting macarons. Loved it so much that I brought back a bunch home and it survived the 10 hr flight vs the Laduree macarons that coudn't survive the walk from Arc de Triomphe to hotel. I was left with pieces of it. Pierre Herme is tad less sweeter and a whole lot more richer. They don't skimp on the good stuff! Definitely get their cafe and chocolate flavors. read more

WOW, wow, wow! Pierre Hermé did not disappoint! The flavors were unmatched and i walked by Laduree and was not even tempted to go in. I will buy some again again before leaving! read more

Pierre Hermé has THE best macarons ever. Without a doubt, it is better than Ladurée. Those little suckers will cost you a pretty penny, but they're worth every cent. The pairing of flavors for their macarons meld well and are usually unexpected. If you don't care for more unique or exotic flavors, then perhaps Ladurée and the others will do. But even then, just based on texture alone, PH wins- it's chewy and not flakey, which I think makes it more consistent than Ladurée. I tried as many as I could when I was in France, and I particularly liked this one macaron with olive oil. I also like how there's a nice fruity center for some of them. What makes Pierre Hermé different is that it always comes up with cool flavors- they brought out the yogurt line, which really did taste like that tart froyo you get at those ubiquitous stores. I also tried their sorbet- the lychee, rose, and raspberry combination, which is quite a popular trio of both Pierre Hermé and Ladurée. That was good and refreshing, and big enough to be shared. On the other hand, their ice cream sandwiches were just so-so and a mess to eat. Sadly, I don't think I tried their other goodies... maybe a croissant, but no recollection of it if so. I tried as many pâtisseries in Paris as I could, from those local ones in the various arrondissements to the more popular and well-known ones, and I can confidently say Pierre Hermé has the best and innovative macarons. read more

Great macaroons with special flavors. They have both traditional, but mostly non-traditional, special flavors. They are soft and a little chewy and about 3-4 euros each. I bought a small box and split them with my husband. They are definitely worth a try. read more

Only some of the Pierre Herme locations have croissants in addition to the delicious macarons, and those croissants are worth eating! -The chocolate pistachio croissant -The Isphahan croissant (rose/raspberry... my friends thought the pistachio chocolate was better, but I think the Isphahan was the best croissant during my week in Paris!) -The passionfruit/raspberry macaron (and there might have been a third flavor in there)...this was the best macaron I've ever had. read more

Pierre Hermé - Praline, chocolate, and truffle! - Chocolatiers & Shops Near Me - Paris, 75

If you know me you know I am a sucker for a Macaroon, and have tried them all from Trader Joe's to Lauduree. Pierre Herme, however, is the Rolls Royce of macaroons. Every time I am in Paris I make a point to stop in and buy my weight in macaroons. I don't know how else to convey the quality and taste of the product they serve. They also serve ice cream with them, and I must say while it is good just go for the original. You can't go wrong with anything here but the original is to die for. Their rose macaroon is absolutely scrumptious!! At the end of the day Pierre Herme is the best choice for a macaroon in the world!! If they had one near me in the states I would ignore Lauduree all together. read more

I was never a huge fan of macarons until I walked into Pierre Herme. I appreciate their unusual flavors but more so, their ability to create such strong and delicate flavors. This store was more than welcoming. I waltzed in just 10 minutes before closing, letting my sweet tooth guide me! They told me all about Pierre, his vision, the macarons and I was given a sample of one of the latest chocolates. I had to leave with some macarons. I am normally not a fan of Rose and Licorice but I was completely blown away by the great flavor but also the light, crispy texture. This is how it's done! read more

Pierre Hermé - Coffee, licorice, rose, salted caramel, passion fruit, earl grey and coconut - Chocolatiers & Shops Near Me - Paris, 75

I was living in the 16th arrondisement for the 5 days I spent in Paris, so I actually passed by this particular Pierre Hermé every day, and I only regret that I didn't stop in until the fourth day. You see, I thought I didn't like macarons. But Pierre Hermé doesn't just serve up your basic macarons. No, Mister (Monsieur?) Hermé brings you beautiful, soft macaron cookies--separated with a lovely layer of cream in the most inventive flavors. Some are glittery. Some are ombre. The glass case holds so many possibilities. Salted caramel. Banana. Yogurt, lychee, and raspberry (in one macaron, mind you). Passionfruit and chocolate. Small macarons. Big macarons (if you've never tried one of these, do it! I brought a salted caramel one to the airport with me, and I wish I had bought more). Cute boxes with little sketches of famous spots in Paris. Don't get me wrong. Ladurée is fine. But Pierre Hermé truly loves his craft, and this shows through in the flavors and textures of his macarons. I actually have no idea where the other Pierre Hermé locations are in Paris, but this one was relatively empty every time I walked by it, so even if it's a bit out of your way, I guess the pro is that you probably won't have to wait! read more
