Cédric Grolet

An exceptional place with most delicious and good looking pastries. The croissants are highly recommended and they do have an exceptional flavor and texture of their own! The service was quite good. We had reserved for breakfast (you have make the payment in full in advance) and were taken to our table as soon as we arrived. All in all, quite happy with the place which lived up to its hype and name!

Amazing patisserie! Cedric Grolet has exquisite patisseries, they are so beautiful, delicious and with lots of detail. I got a patisserie with pistachio and raspberry, and it was so delicious, and very filling. I stood in line for about an hour before i got inside to order, which was obviously really boring, but it was worth the wait in the end. The items are quite pricey, but it’s really high quality. The staff were also really friendly and helpful.

Cedric Grolet Opéra is undeniably a pastry powerhouse, but our experience was underwhelming. The hype surrounding the bakery sets unreasonably high expectations. While the pastries are visually stunning, the flavors were disappointingly ordinary. The exorbitant prices charged seem disproportionate to the taste experience. Given the lengthy queues, it might be wiser to explore other patisseries offering comparable quality at with a more convenient experience.

First of all you just have to embrace the whole experience. You wake up early to stand in line at the baker (!!) with the to date best door man. After, you are treated better than a guest at the royal palace. Luxury brands should come here to learn. After purchasing works of art, you are bid farewell as an old friend, welcome back at any time. And now you are in for the real treat. Eating.

I managed to visit this place when visiting Paris for a few days. I went to both the cafe and the main bakery. Despite going to the bakery on a Sunday at 9.30am and queuing for 2hrs, we did not manage to taste the Croissants. I really wished they would serve more, after all if it a lovely product why not make it available all day? I'm not sure if there is a restriction on how many Croissants one can purchase? I was informed by one of the employees that the best way to ensure you get a taste is to do a click and collect but I believe you need to place the order 48 hours before. Once we were inside we found there isn't really a place to sit. It's 2 counters and you pick what you want. Everything here comes with a hefty price tag. Unfortunately I don't think it was worth the queues.

At this trendy Salon de Thé you can experience original and fresh pastries. You can make a long line for take out or a difficult to get on line reservation to dine inside. Even though the pastries are very good, in my opinion, it is not worth the trouble.

I went to Cedric Cafe with high hopes, but unfortunately, I left feeling incredibly disappointed. Despite making a reservation, we waited outside for 10 minutes before being acknowledged, and once inside then waited over 30 minutes just to receive service. The staff seemed to have a very casual attitude towards their customers. While the pastries were decent, they were nothing remarkable - I've had better in Paris. The scrambled eggs were practically inedible. I doubt that we will return to Cedric Cafe in the future. It simply wasn't worth the wait or the price, there are better dining options elsewhere. I'm sorry to leave a negative review, but I feel it's important to raise these issues so they can be addressed.

Quaint little spot above the Opera location bakery. Very cozy spot and the reservations were 100% worth it to skip the line and be able to sample 3 of the incredible pastry offerings. Croissant was good, but not life-changing. The vanilla flower/waffle was light and lovely, only enhanced by the incredible chantilly cream and hazelnut spread. The Pain au Chocolat was one of the best I've ever had in my life. You absolutely need to grab a Vanilla Bean on your way out the door.
