Pierre Hermé

An unforgettable breakfast! The pain au chocolat is the best I’ve ever had — perfectly flaky, buttery, and filled with just the right amount of chocolate. The rose croissant is a true delight, an explosion of delicate aromas and flavors that captivate from the very first bite. The matcha latte is thick, creamy, and full of flavor, while the coffee absolutely deserves a special mention — rich, aromatic, simply fantastic! The macarons are also delicious, though their taste really depends on freshness: if you’re lucky enough to get them just made, they’re absolutely divine. Overall, a breakfast I highly recommend — everything is carefully crafted, and the menu offers great value for money.

Went here as we just wanted to try some macrons, Pierre Herme had a large selection, the young Gujarati lady who served us was very friendly and kind. The shop was very busy but organised well as we were not only served quickly but we paid equallyas quick. The macarons were tasty and not as expensive as I thought, there were several other lines of goods like hand cleansers, soaps etc. Very clean shop despite the huge footfall.

Pure bliss and taste!!! Everything was simply out of the world and the rose macaron was sooo goood!!! Was like butter. The icing was yummy. The prices are sky-high though as it is located in one of the biggest shopping areas in Paris. The place was super crowded. So took a take away.

A must-visit place. I just arrived in Germany. For the first time during our Paris trip, a business welcomed us with a smile. Frankly, I thought the French were very rude, but thanks to this, I realized they weren't. And the desserts were delicious and affordable. Thank you for everything. I'll definitely be back. Thank you, too, for your attentiveness.

We enjoyed the millefeuille and we went back to buy some desserts to gift to our family back home!

We had chocolate, pistachio, and banana yogurt macaroons. They were way beyond my expectations and delicious. You should definitely try them. 🤩 Although the price is a bit high at around three euros each, they taste really good.

I don’t recommend the 2000 Mille feuille in this shop. The first layer is extremely hard and impossible to cut or the cake will break. The shop in opera is better. Service was good.

Perfect Afternoon Tea Macaron was so good, especially the large one, must try! The chocolate drinks was delicious if you preferred the sweets.

I just returned home from paris on 9/22/25 and i have to say what an outstanding , delicious, treats i was able to enjoy. I only have two items that i bought home to New York left. I am so sad that Pierre Herme does not have a location in New York City or even Long Island, New York it would in my opinion do well here. Think about and let me know i would be there first !!!! Thank you Karen C

love the atmosphere, the ambiance was beautiful. There was not much seating so very quaint and intimate setting. The Menu is small and light but everything was delicious and photo worthy. I had the Salmon which was amazing and the desserts are to die for. Definitely recommend for a insta worthy experience. Service was super friendly as well.

Pierre Hermé If you know Pierre Hermé from social media and all the viral videos, then this review needs no introduction. But if you haven't, this is a strong contender for worthy macarons in Paris and at a convenient location across the street from Ladurée. Located inside L'Occitane in the most gorgeous floor space ever, you will find Pierre Hermé at the center of it all. They have an impressive array of flavors that were much more unique than other patisseries. I definitely asked for a few recommendations as well since I tend to order the same thing (pistachio, raspberry, lemon, etc.) The workers were very kind. They indulged my request to converse in French and corrected me in a respectful and endearing way (I know some people get upset at this idea but I personally prefer it.) I had ordered a dozen macarons but truthfully would've ordered the entire lot if I wasn't alone and especially if I wasn't already taking a ton of sweets back for my flight home. I am a Ladurée purist and what I can say is that Pierre Hermé definitely had the best and most unique flavors compared to the two. The prices are fairly comparable and the coffrets are just as tasteful. Both are strong contenders and worthy of your money. I certainly will be returning and look forward to trying the rest of their selection. (15/50--2025)

Okay okay...I know Pierre Hermé is a super touristy macaron shop, and the Pierre Hermé on Champs Elysée is probably the MOST touristy you can get, but I can't help but give this place five stars. Pierre Hermé is home to some of the best macarons I've had in my life -- which is probably too many for the good of my health -- and I was thoroughly impressed by the quality of the macarons, the staff's attention to detail, and all the unique flavors this shop had to offer. As a popular macaron shop in one of the hottest tourist destinations in Paris, this location is undeniably crowded. There's usually a huge line circling around a central display of macaron after macaron. The line looks pretty intimidating, but it moves quite quickly, and there are so many flavors that it'll probably be helpful to have a bit of extra time to review the menu. My friend and I split a pack of four macarons, including their seasonal isapahan (rose, lychee, raspberry), infiniment praliné pistache, and a jardin de cassandre (red currant, rhubarb). The macarons were delightful. I loved the two seasonal items; they were delightfully fruity and slightly floral, and I loved the slightly tangy flavor from the raspberry in the isapahan and rhubarb / currants in the jardin de cassandre. The praliné pistache was nice and nutty, and the inner cream offered a great additional richness. It's usually super crowded so seating tends to be quite limited. My friend and I ended up taking our macarons to go and enjoyed them elsewhere as we toured Champs Elysée.

Amazing macarons, chocolates, and atmosphere. This place is a local gem. Great staff also.

These were the best macaroons that I found in Paris. The first visit we got a variety pack and the next day I went back and got a full box of the passion fruit chocolate macaron. They are superb! Service was friendly, they easily spoke English to me for my questions. The first store was a small cute store front and we went to a second location at the Galerie Gourmet. That location is so much fun to visit. I wished I had found it sooner in my visit. A French food hall with tons of options of food to go and bring home!

This Pierre Herme is located on Champs Elysees. When you enter, the center is the macaron display area where you order and pay. There are other items offered here too but I had tunnel vision and went straight to the macarons. The cashier is to your left when you're entering. In the back is the dine in cafe. Along the walls display an array of items they sell. I don't believe there is a system to ordering as you just walk up to the front and when a staff member is available, they assist you. They are extremely friendly, patient and knowledgeable. I came just for their macrons so Mink could try some. She wanted to compare with another spot while visiting Paris. I picked up 6 different macarons so she could have a good tasting of what they offered. Unfortunately it started raining when I left so I did get a little soaked. Not my favorite situation but it is what it is. Totally worth it because Mink loves their macarons! They are soft, not too sweet and just melts in your mouth. They are now her favorite spot for macarons in Paris. Must try if you're craving for macarons!

Soooooo let's just start by saying this place is highly expensive but you don't know HOW expensive until you get there. This is one of those places where you assume the highest to mentally and financially prepare. Known for their exquisite pastries and immaculate taste, we were encouraged to come to this particular location. Located right on the Champs Elysees street, there's no way you can walk pass it. You have the option to dine in or take away. Inside the establishment also sells other goodies like lotions, soaps and lip balms. My friend and I purchased two small cakes. One pistachio and the other hazelnut chocolate with four individually selected macaroons. For the macaroons, we selected the chocolate caramel, chocolate passion fruits, lime strawberry rhubarb and the raspberry. My absolute favorite was the seasonal lime strawberry rhubarb. They did that! I can see why it's seasonal - to keep people returning and requesting. Was paying 37€ worth it? Mmmh, yes and no. On a regular basis, absolutely not. For first timers or special occasions, sure thing.

They finally opened this location in Champs Elyse & I could not been happier. It was always a struggle finding a boutique. I go back & forth on who has the best macaron. Pierre Herme has been my top choice for the past 3 years. I make yearly trek and a must is eating Macarons. This time around Pierre Herme dropped 1 spot but could easily be on top next year! They are perfectly made and they do have some of the best chocolate versions. This time around I noticed that they hardened faster. Maybe they weren't fresh or quality control fell through. This is still a top choice though!

This is a really nice bakery pop-up where you can pick up a quick sweet treat while doing shopping with other Parisian brands. It's close to the Charles De Gaule - Etoile metro center and on the Champe-Elysees, so it's very convenient as well. The macaroons melt in your mouth and the other desserts are so decadent and flavorful. They are a little bit expensive, but it's definitely worth the price. The staff who serve the desserts are very nice and speak both English and French. All the desserts in the cases are translated as well. There's not really a seating area, but the packaging of the desserts and sweets is really nice + can tolerate travel. These are great gifts to bring back home to your foodie friends for sure!

Amazing dessert that was rich and decadent. Beautiful presentation of dessert. The store is beautiful and has so many chocolates to choose from.

Every macaron of the rainbow can be found here! We stopped by to buy a few sweets. The macarons are really good. I particularly liked on that was chocolate that had a little passion fruit in it. There's usually a line but they're pretty efficient at getting you your treats in an efficient manner. Things aren't cheap but for a little indulgence, this is a fun place.

Service was great and they spoke English Their macaroons are amazing Purchased a few boxes of chocolates. Nice experience!!

It's been a long time coming. I've waited about 6 years to try the macarons from Pierre Herme. I studied his techniques and watched documentaries about his passion for macarons. Yes there is a huge difference between his macarons and others. His macarons are almost double stuffed and filled with a creamy rich filling. The macarons are a bit bigger too with a wider size. It's like a cookie with a nice stiff cream! It's buttery, non-flaky, and full of flavor. I really loved their pistachio, rose, and Madagascar vanilla. I would've came again but there was no time. My bucket list was officially closed when it came to macarons. I've tried a lot and after this one, I am done now. I am fulfilled!

When you think of macarons while in Paris, there are two shops that should be at the top of your list to visit. Pierre Herme and Laduree. Both are located down the street from the Arc de Triomphe and you'll also find them both in other locations in Paris and at CDG airport. While Laduree can also be found in many other countries including the United States, I don't think that is the case for Pierre Herme. The front facade of Pierre Herme on Champs Elysees is currently undergoing renovations so it looks like the shop is closed, but it's actually open. I dropped in on a Saturday evening and purchased a few macarons. There was no line to order. The macarons were delicious and on par with Laduree. I think they might have more filling than Laduree.

Wonderful chocolatier. The quartiers (chocolate covered orange slices) are fantastic.! Other must-haves are the passion fruit, raspberry, yuzu, and praline chocolates.

I'm obsessed with everything ispahan and this place delivers. It's super weird that it's in the middle of and L'Occitane store but it's convenient if you're shopping around Champs Élysées and need a snack. Try the raspberry ispahan croissant. They run out quickly but are heavenly.

At last, an Hermé I can afford!! This is a joint business with L'occitane, that I came across near my hotel on Champs Elysees. From the street it looks like another shop selling lotions, soaps, fragrancies and other items. Upon entry, you are welcomed into a HUGE macaron/pastry shop. This one has every flavor you can imagine and is equally popular & crowded as Ladurée (across the street). I have never seen a Pierre Hermé outpost in America! This is a definite must go for macarons/desserts! The staff is friendly and helpful with the choices & flavor descriptions.

Edible Art can be had here! Take the time to stop and get a box of Macaron, so many flavors and with friendly helpful service.

Whenever we are on the Champs Elysées, my daughter and I must have a date with Pierre Hermé. We don't visit too often, so we can indulge a little. Last time, we were very lucky to be seated quickly, people after us had to turn away, the wait being too long. You can always hope for a spot at the beautiful central bar or even on the terrasse if the weather is cooperating. People tend to compare Hermé's macarons to Ladurée and it's hard to decide which is best, the latter one being more classic. Hermé is quite adventurous in the combinations of flavors, their don't always work great or can feel a little too strong. I think I like Ladurée better, but Hermé is a very close second, and definitely one of my favorites in Paris!

The debate between Laduree vs Pierre Herme is a conflict between old vs new, traditional vs contemporary. Pierre Herme differentiates its macarons from Laduree through unique, contrasting flavors through a creative twist. Most of PH's flavors are a combination of two that contrast yet complement each other. The macarons are amazing, but some are a bit too overwhelming in flavor. Still great and worth trying!

Best desserts in Paris, we come here everyday for the hazelnut dessert and raspberry croissant. The macarons are amazing as well. Be prepared to wait but worth it

If not the best, it's one of the best macaroons I've ever had. We tried at least the top six macaroons in places in Paris. Must try their chocolate passion fruit(mogador), salted caramel, hazelnut praline, and Isaphan- rose, litchi with raspberry. Their macaroons are crunchy but soft, perfect middle layer. Only drawback it will cost you about 2 euro each. Make sure you also try their desserts- he is one of the top dessert chefs in the world.

What can I say; when I Paris you must get your hands on macarons and one name is infamous in that regard; Pierre Herme! His macarons are pristinely displayed and picked by patrons pretty much at any given day. Little pastries eaten by the mouthful is how I describe them. Sadly the nearest location is inside an airline lounge at JFK airport in New York and I wish for them to expand perhaps to San Francisco - that would be amazing. Until then; when in Paris - go to Pierre Herme!

Taste tested so many macrons in Paris and Pierre Herme (possibly tied with Lauduree) was definitely the best. A favorite was rose lychee. That said, I am still bitter (and so is my husband) that they offer you fancy packaging and never disclose that you'll be paying an extra 10 euros for it. My husband unfortunately was conned this way on the first purchase - I wasn't around to warn him. I luckily knew ahead of time when I made my purchase by reading reviews and checking their website, but unless you're gifting something, say NO to the nicer box! It will cost you and you could have bought an extra 3-4 macrons instead.

My sister and I were taking pictures of the Arc de Triomphe when we decided to find a bathroom within the Publicis drugstore off the corner. Instead, we randomly found the Pierre Herme counter within the drugstore. It's really clean, bright, and cutely decorated. Customer service was amazing! The Asian guy who helped us spoke perfect English and really took the time to introduce each macaron to us. He went over the different flavors and also recommended ones that we would potentially like based on our usual preferences. We didn't feel like he rushed through anything even when there were customers waiting behind us. Overall, I was intrigued by the bold and creative flavors offered at Pierre Herme. The Espahan, a macaron that's lychee, raspberry, and rose flavored, was simply delicious! The tartness of the raspberry jam really balances out the creamy and sweet lychee rose ganache.

A couple years back, I used to be only able to get the Pierre Herme macarons in the Publicdrugstore over on the end of the Champs by the Arc, now seems like this location is bigger and better than ever! A little bit confusing with the Loccitane shared space, but it works - with high end lotions and potions with high end treats. The macaron assortment is something to marvel at, even if you're not really going to buy, its worth a step in to see the display. There's also a bunch of cakes as well to interest the pickiest of eaters, and a to-go stand off to the side, in case the rich aromas of lavender and rose is too much for you. Theres also room to dine all the way in the back. I'd say take your time at this place and enjoy all that this store has to offer.

So I did my research on the best macarons in Paris. I knew that this would be the place. I was walking with my mom looking for a spot for dinner when I noticed that the restaurant (next review) was across the street from Pierre Hermé. We stopped by after dinner. I just picked a couple for a treat, and figured I would get more before I leave. I chose salted caramel, raspberry lichee, and mosaic which was cherry pistachio. The mosaic was my absolute favorite, the combination of both flavors was delicious. I also loved the salted caramel, the buttercream was perfect and the shell was crunchy without falling apart. Highly recommend stopping by for some treats.

Heard lots of hype about Pierre Hermé for their unique macaron flavors! Had to make a stop and I'm so glad I did. One of the best macarons I've had and not only were the macarons good, but also the service was super friendly. They explained the flavors of the macarons that I was interested more in depth. I ended up getting the chocolate & vanilla flavor (kind of tasted like a smore) and a sake macaron (still sweet)! Highly recommend Pierre Hermé!

A bit disappointed that they only sold their macarons here. I wanted to try Pierre's other desserts, but unfortunately I guess they are not sold here. But macarons were still good and staff was friendly despite the many tourists that could not communicate very well.

In love with macaron. The feel of this place is sophisticated & classy. It's like a macaron heaven. I was like a kid in there. So excited & happy. I can't even start to describe the taste. These macaron were so soft & delicate, they would melt in your mouth. The flavors, were just perfect. -1 star, cos my server, wasn't interested in serving. He looked bored, when asked for options & suggestions he was kinda rude :( Highly recommended but with a different server ;)

Pierre Herme is known to be one of the BEST macarons in Paris! I was really excited to find this counter inside the Publicis drug store on Avenue des Champs Elysees! Note: you can't see the Pierre Herme sign until you go inside Publicis and find their counter. This isn't a normal stand-alone store. It's just a to-go spot with no tables. However, the macarons are fresh and they have a LOT of flavors! My husband and I got a box of 12 different macarons (yes, we're fatties, and hey, when in Paris!) and ate them in our hotel room shortly after. First of all, they're beautiful! Loved the wide range of colors and how some macarons had two different colored shells. They had a LOT of unique flavors, all super flavorful, more so than any macarons I've had in the U.S. Texture-wise, they had the perfect light and crisp shell with smooth and creamy filling. Some unique stand-out flavors were Rose & Quince, Pistachio Cream & Raspberry Compote, Fresh Mint, Licorice & Violet... but my favorite out of the 12 I tried was the Salted-Butter Caramel (Caramel au Beurre Sale. i.e. Infinitment Caramel). It was the perfect amount of salt! Definitely one of the most memorable and best macarons I've ever had! Sweet and savory perfection! Highly recommend if you're looking for some amazing macarons in Paris!

If someone from Pierre Herme is reading this review, you need to open a location in USA soon! If Laduree can open a location, so can you. I believe they are your competitors in Paris, so why not compete here too? Loved their Macarons! Actually more than Laduree's Macarons! The customer service lady was the awesomest sales person. I told her, this was my first time in their shop and she explained their pricing system, the availability (one flavor or multi-flavor) and actually took the time to explain each flavor. I ordered a box of 7 macarons and can't decide which one was my favorite - they all were!

Fabulous macarons in a beautiful setting. I want one of each flavor! Taste-tested a plain vanilla and chocolate for the win!

These macarons were very good. Much better then American ones which is the point of getting them in France. The shop is located inside Publicis Drugstore just across from the Arc de triomphe. The prices are very Paris. I got a selection of macarons in a nice tin that I snacked on during my trip. They were good but not the best that I had. There are plenty of Pierre Herme locations through the city so you can easily stop in and get some of you want.

Pierre Herme is one of the *must try* places for macarons in Paris. This Pierre Herme location is located inside of Publicis Drugstore right at the end of Champs Elysees. It's a bit hard to find for this reason but once inside super easy to spot. The lady working at Pierre Herme was super friendly and I did my usual thing of buying three macarons to try. My staple macaron is chocolate and I loved it! Wasn't the best one I had in Paris but definitely was good.It was called macaron infiniment chocolat porcelana with pure chocolate from Venezuela. I then tried a couple of more adventurous flavors. I went for huile d'olive & vanille (olive oil & vanilla) macaron which was surprisingly good. I then went for this pretty tie dyed color based solely on the colors (Yep, I have issues) called the Milena. Although beautiful, I didn't enjoy this flavor combination. It was a bit too floral for me, a combination of menthe fraiche & fruits rouges (fresh mint & berries). All the macarons were creamy on the inside and a bit crispy on the outside. I enjoyed them but my search continued for the perfect macaron in Paris after Pierre Herme.

These macaroons were the best I have ever eaten! When we were in Paris, we tried a few big brands from laduree to la maison du chocolat to pierre hermes. Pierre Hermes was hands down higher in quality, texture and taste! I miss their macaroons since I came back home. I hope one day they would open a store in NYC!

Are you looking for something incredibly delicious and unique? You're in for a treat! This is a must-go-to place in Paris. I find it more appealing than Laduree because the macarons have very distinct flavors, often times 2+ flavors in a single macaron. There's no doubt that you'll find a wide selection of beautiful cakes, macarons, chocolates, and other goodies. The packaging is also lovely (I've decided to keep it for the memories :D). Apparently they only last for a few days in the fridge, so if Paris is your destination in Europe, make sure to take some home! Unfortunately, I was still traveling elsewhere after Paris and did not bring it back to the States :(

We were on the search for the best macarons in Paris, we soon realized that everyone raved about two shops in particular. Pierre Herme, seem to be the most talked about out of the two. So after an afternoon stroll through Champs Elysees we decided to enter the large pharmacy and try an assortment of macarons. This particular shop is housed in a pharmacy/ shopping area. You can not miss the location it has huge flashing neon lights. The section that houses Pierre Herme is very classy. The young lady that assisted us was very knowledgeable about the product, and was able to assist us with the perfect taste selection for us.. We brought our treats back to our hotel, and I have to say these macaroons are the best I have ever had!! We had a vanilla, citron, raspberry, chocolate, caramel and special flavors I can't recall the name but they were all amazing!!! You must try these macarons they are to melt for.

When in Paris do as the Parisians and stop in for a dessert to enjoy with every sense. The woman behind the counter that helped us, Fanta, was outstanding! She gave us all the information about the flavors and their pairings and shared her favorites.

Good cookies in a cool location but don't be fooled that these are the best ones in Paris.

Oh how could I leave Paris without stopping at Pierre Hermé on the Champs Elysées? I was lucky to be staying near the Arc de Triomphe meaning that I could get my hands on delicious macarons and a cafe latte every morning if I so chose to! I ended up going twice out of my three days in Paris and wasn't disappointed either time. My favorite macaron was the Ispahan. So fruity and so delicious and not overly sweet. The cookie itself was so soft and delicious and it's crazy - I had no idea that this was what the texture of a macaron was supposed to be! America has many many wonderful things but when it comes to macarons, we have no idea what we're doing. I also loved the Pistachio Pain au Chocolate which was something else that I had never tried before. I washed down all the sweets with a deliciously thick cafe latte. Overall the price is rather steep but considering how finicky macarons are to make, I'd say it's completely fair. This particular Pierre Hermé was doing a collaboration with Loccitane when I went and so there were soaps and lotions interspersed throughout the shop. It was surely a sight to behold!

My favorite macaron in Paris! Ladurée is everyone's stamp of approval pick for that classic macaron that has been around for centuries and really brought this luxurious cookie in the forefront, but Pierre Hermé takes my pick for the best macaron I had in Paris Their macarons are not as "diabetes galore" sweet in the way Laudrée's were, which means you can eat more than one. They also have more inventive flavors of macarons and interesting combinations. If you are in the area, please check these out and have 1-2. These are worth checking out!

Really helpful staff. Tried some of the recommend flavors like, chocolate/vanilla, isphan (raspberry deliciousness) and really any flavor... Just try them. It's worth the money.

I've been to Laduree plenty of times because we have it in the states but I would hands down say that Pierre Hermé is my favorite when it comes to the flavors and textures of a macaron. It's too bad I don't live in Paris :(

Omg!!! I'm soooo glad I stopped and tried their macaroons. They were AMAZING! Like really really good. So many flavors to choose from.

These are the best macarons ever!! They are so fresh and literally melt in your mouth. The macarons are delicate and moist, filled with so much flavor. I ordered a dozen macarons and tried the different flavors. My favorite flavor was the mint and jasmine macarons. Also, the passion fruit and guava colorful macaron is super good! It is one of their summer specials! All the macarons were delicious and baked to perfection. I wish I ordered some more so I could take them home with me! If you need any help choosing flavors, the worker is a lot of help in explaining what each flavor is and what flavors are "famous." Overall, a great experience filled with delectable sweets!

We are mille feuilles fanatics. On a previous trip to Paris, we had the Hermé Mille Feuille at the Cafe Deux Magots. It was the best we've ever had. When we went back to the Cafe Deux Magots this time, they were out of it. The waiter told us to come here. The Mille Feuille really is to die for. And remember, you are allowed to eat desserts on vacation; your diet will start again the day you get home.

I know there's a Pierre Herme in NYC, but do come here before you go try it. There's a reason why foods are critically acclaimed in their country of origin. I am a huge enthusiast of French desserts and was smitten when I came here. Their display case is so beautiful, it's like a glass prism filled with exotic oversized jewels. My French guy and I worked closely to get the bestsellers (which were pretty much all of them, sans the one with pine nuts, which we both agreed to stay far away from) and we made a really good team! I got everything from their grapefruit to lavender to all these amazing delectable assortments and whatnots. All I remember is that back at the hotel on the balcony I bit into one of their macarons and I had to close my eyes because it was just so surreal. Everything is melts-in-your-mouth delicious and it's like a literal miracle sandwiched between two slices of French clouds. A little lozenge of decadency. The only thing I regret is that I didn't go back a second time before I left this beautiful city to take some back home with me.
