Nestled in Le Marais, Maison Aleph is a charming bakery crafting delightful pastry nests with flavors like pistachio and orange blossom, served by friendly staff.
"This Middle Eastern bakery breaks from tradition ever so slightly: The owner’s signature nids pâtisseries are bite-sized “nests” wrapped in kadaïf and topped with cream, and come in flavors like classic chocolate, hazelnut, and salted caramel. But, more notably, they also highlight flavors of the Levant: cardamom, za’atar, halva, sumac, Iranian pistachio, and more. You can eat them standing up sur place inside the shop, but they’re also great if you’ve been told to bring dessert to a picnic. " - Sara Lieberman
"This is the first of two Maison Aleph boutiques created by banker-turned-pastry chef Myriam Sabet. Ideally located in the heart of the Marais–down the road from the department store BHV/Marais, a block from Hôtel de Ville (city hall), and two blocks from the Seine river, the independent shop offers Levantine pastries that nod to Sabet's Syrian heritage, featuring textures and flavors from the broader Levant region, and are anchored in French technique. The space is small but well-suited for a quick snack or taking your treats to-go. If money is no object, get one of everything. There is plenty that can be brought home with you in your checked luggage." - Lindsey Tramuta
