Pâtisserie Carl Marletti

We were strongly recommended this pâtisserie by a local shop owner in the Montmare area. So of course we HAD to try it. The deserts are amazing! They look unreal and taste even better. The strawberry macarons were drool worthy and obviously freshly made there in the shop. Would 100% recommend a visit here if you’re in or close to the neighborhood!!

A local favorite recommended by residents. Everything looks beautiful, and I chose the éclair, which was visually stunning — I didn’t even know where to start! The cream was smooth and not too sweet, truly a blissful treat.

The pastries are almost as beautiful as they are delicious. The flavors are balanced and multilayered. It’s like trying to pick your favorite child, try them all and enjoy the exploration and journey.

I love this bakery with all my heart ❤️ I go there every chance I get. All the small desserts are amazing, from the big cakes I love the white raspberry cake 🎂 I've been getting it for years. Definitely recommend trying some of their sweets!! Just grab one dessert and sit in the nearby cafe with coffee, it's the best! Or park just across the pâtisserie BUT I DON’T recommend ordering additional drawings on the cake 😂🥲 Don't get me wrong - I appreciate the work and effort that might go into this, but I had slightly different expectations. Below I've attached a picture of what I ordered and what I got. Not bad, but yeah, haha. However the cake was delicious!! 🤤

We were experiencing serendipity to get to this place being pastry lover. We were in the area and attracted to buy pastries from Carl Marletti because of the long queue. My favourite is the Belle-Helene tart. OMG! It might be the best pastry I have tried in my life. Such a complexity of flavours: the chocolate almond cream and poached pear create amazingly tasty contrast in fruity and sweet tastes. We tried the Feather that was also great and the caramel eclair. They didn't had everything because it was December 31st. But it worth going back to Paris to enjoy these amazing original pastries. I will get huge box of pastries next time! If you are visiting Paris definitely worth going here. Thank you for providing such a great pleasure!

I don’t want to tell anyone about this bakery and would prefer to keep it my hidden gem. I came in to purchase one dessert for myself and after devouring it, I went back to pick up other treats for my family! Half of their stock was already gone within that time. If you aren’t a fan of something too sugary, the chantilly nougatine is a must try. It’s very light but the flavours are so well balanced. The cream on top is refreshing and it’s my new favourite dessert. They packaged the desserts very well and they came out of the box without a scratch after being in subways and a busy bus. The associates were very kind and even packaged one of my desserts separately so it wouldn’t tumble on the others. Can’t wait to return! The only con I can see for others is the price point. For the box I purchased (5 items) was around 44 euros.

Visited 2022. Delicious and worth going for high quality patisserie dessert items. The flavors were very delicate and went well together.

Absolutely unbelievable mind-boggling life-changing pastry. And he's a good dude too! Very affable and humble yet proud and delighted, as he should be. Un bon mec

Food: Best pastries you will EVER have in your life. You cannot go wrong with anything here, but my favorites had to be the pistachio eclair and citron tart... YUM! Service: Haha there is a line outside the store even before the store opens, so come prepared to wait a bit. The line does move very fast though! Ambiance: I mean look at these pastries... the store is so beautifully displayed from the outside, tons of locals inside the store.

DELICIOUS. What else can you say? I wanted to try a traditional eclair, but they didn't have any left so I had the last remaining one on the shelf. It was perfection. The other items we tried were decadent and beautifully presented.

My favorite pastry shop in the world. The chef is a master in the art of creating beautiful and delicious desserts that taste light with perfect crisp, sweetness and tartness. Yes they are pricey but I think they are worth the splurge and always visit when in Paris (I stay away from Laduree). My favorites are the lemon tart and raspberry eclair.

These pastries are to die for and are the best I've ever eaten. I highly recommend the Marie Antoinette and the Citron Yuzu tartes. The raspberry macaron was my favorite and some were the size of moon pies. The flavors are bold, the textures are sublime and they are each meticulously beautiful. The staff was friendly and helpful and each pastry was packaged very securely for transport. Just go. Try as much as you can! You won't regret it.

The real deal! Was recommended we stop here by a local and wow, so worth it. You won't be disappointed.

Master of his art. Far from the madding crowds... I did not think it could be possible. I'd just lost all appetite after passing through a bakery (average 4.5 stars) that was teeming with flies, and angry at those who rated it highly without mentioning the health hazard. But, I continued walking to Carl Marletti - to see if I should make a return trip later to purchase anything. But, a few minutes inside, and guided by the knowledgeable staff, I returned to a state of zen-like calm. Perhaps the Buddhist temple priests use desserts in their visualization techniques?? ;) While other patissiers are striving to create an impression of a jewelry store in their patisseries, Carl Marletti dares to be different: With his exquisite, brightly colored creations, he appears to be running a fashion show, and manically in search of France's Next Top Model... It was just my good fortune to show up when they needed a judge :) In a remarkable lack of discipline (likely because I was still furious at the prior bakery), I forgot to consult my research for Carl Marletti's greatest hits... and so didn't get any of them: Lily valley: Carl's version of Saint Honore but with violet Chantilly cream (and deep violet sugar crown) Censier: Dark chocolate quenelle, crunchy thanks to garnish of Praline and Rice Krispies and pop rocks! Marie Antoinette: Carl's response to the Ispahan Dome Caraibe: hazelnut chocolate sable, milk chocolate and passion fruit crème, and mango drizzle! Mont-Blanc: hazelnut dacquoise biscuit, light chestnut mousse, topped with mascarpone vanilla cream. Instead, I got what I liked in the moment, and to round out the flavors: Millefeuille vanille: crisp, lightly caramelized, creamy (vanilla cream) Delice d'Emma: dark chocolate mousse, biscuit sacher, confit of raspberries, enrobed in dark chocolate Paradis Latin: citrus biscuit coated with raspberry confit, vanilla sabayon with fruits, shaped like a rose Cikara: soft citrus biscuit, light caramel mousse, and candied lime Beyond the pastries, I also took with me the Romia (Florentines: nougatine with almonds) and Les Diamants choco (chocolate sables, comparable quality to the ones I loved at Maison C Faure in Montreal) It's almost impossible to award only a single rose amongst such a bevy of beauties, which perhaps explains why man is genetically programmed NOT to be monogamous... if I were forced to choose from the ones I got acquainted with, I'd happily go with Le Paradis Latin...

Carl Marletti is hands down the best pastry chef in Paris (and I don't care what you've heard from some wannabe influencer who came here once and went to Ladurée like everyone else). I found Marletti after a long and pleasurable quest to find the best religieuse in Paris. I had spent a year searching a decade ago while living here but then that place went out of business. But when one door closes an even better one opens. Not only does Marletti beat the place I had previously found *RIP*, everything here is consistently good. I'd be lying if I told you I don't sometimes by one pastry for me and another for my invisible friend, eat them immediately and then call it dinner. Don't judge. If you try then you'll understand.

Had a delicious raspberry macaron. One of the staff was quite friendly. Also got the tart with fruits. A very small and clean shop but could be intimidating for those used to more boisterous shops.

After having been here for days trying out savoury dishes we were ready for some some sweets and were pleased to find this little pastry shop. The mille feiulle and tarte au citron were so tasty. Delicious pastries and very nice staff! Loved this place!

I must confirm what others have said, this man is the best in Paris. A must visit if you have any interest in the art of pastry.

Finest pastries in the world. Vanilla Eclair, Marie-Antoinette, Lily Valley. We get a coffee and eat in the little courtyard next to the church. Life is good.

The pastries here are simply great! On a Sunday we past here and the people were queueing outside. That always means there is something good. I saw the beauty of the pastries before, but now that my girlfriend was in Paris it was an ideal chance to taste them. We tried 3, the belle helene, lemon and a pistache eclair. I just had to take the eclair, cause I am in search of the best eclairs of Paris. First of all the Belle Helene and the lemon were really really good! Looked beautiful and tasted alike. But the eclair was really phenomenal. Without a doubt the best eclair I have had in Paris so far. Tried eclair de genie the day before, but that was nowhere near. I will get the cafe one next week, cause I will be back!!

hands down one of the best tarts I've had in Paris. The red fruits tart I had was divine perfection. The fruits were perfectly sweet, the custard is the right amount of sweetness and consistency, and the tart WOW. The tart crumbles just where you bite it so even though it was difficult to eat on street, it was still possible without making a big mess. All the pastries here look absolutely divine! I've also tried the fraisier (which is on several lists for the best in paris) and it was good but not the best in my opinion. The one here has a thick layer of icing or almond paste on the top which I don't like, the fraisier at Dalloyau is better. Note that the fraisier at carl is only sold as a larger cake meant to be shared for 2-4 people. They don't sell it as an individual piece.

This is perhaps my favourite patisserie in the whole of Paris. The pastries here are superb and they are among the prettiest that I've ever seen. You can tell that an enormous amount of expertise has gone into each of his creations simply by looking at them. On top of that they taste incredible! The Marie-Antoinette is similar to Pierre Herme's famous Ispahan except it tastes so much better. Every single one of his patisseries is perfect. I've tried a fair few of them by now and haven't ever been disappointed. I only wish his patisserie were a tiny bit more central so that it could be frequented by more people and celebrated as it deserves.

BEST ECLAIRS IN PARIS. The Hubs and I have been to Paris many times. And we're always trying new eclair places. Hands down, Carl Marletti takes the cake (pun intended). The salted caramel is my favorite, but you can't go wrong with anything you get. The service is top notch. The taste is unparalleled. And the setting is exceptional. Worth the trek every time!

Loooove it here. I'm in Paris for a conference, and I've been here at least three times already, and I'm squeezing in another visit on my last day. This is my new favorite patisserie. (Old favorites were basically based on location.) I've had the eclairs (super rich chocolate, caramel, and strawberry), plus the following delicious items: millefeuille praliné, hatsukoi, chantilly nougatine. I do my best to speak French while in France, but the staff also speaks English, and they were incredibly kind/patient/helpful with my friends who haven't been practicing :)

Been buying their gâteaux once per week for over 2years! A bit expensive but totally worth it! The best pastries I've ever had! I take every friend that comes to visit me and I often offer them to diner parties at my place... NO ONE has ever complained!!!! The stuff is very friendly as well. A must try if you are in Paris!

Ive been here three times and I'm always happy with their pastries. My favorite creation is their eclairs. They change their flavors seasonally, with my favorite being the passion fruit banana in the spring. The do run out of things by the end of the day so I recommend going early so you can profit from their selection. You honestly can't go wrong with anything.

One of the top patisseries in Paris. Inventive (but not weird) flavor combinations that are gorgeously simple and elegant. My very favorite is the Lily Valley, sort of a Religieuse flavored with violet (!). Also amazing are Desir, Millefeuille Praline, eclairs, Religieuses, Tarte au Citron, and Censier. I've been coming here for years and haven't had anything that wasn't superior to virtually every other patisserie in town.
