Our chef was fantastic! Her energy was infectious and her skills excellent. The workspace was clean and tidy. We each got to make and bring home 22 macaroons! Steps were easy to follow. You work in pairs of two, so if you have an uneven group one person will be paired with someone outside the group. We definitely enjoyed trying our macaroons at 4am after the 10hour settling window. They also have a croissant baking class that our group is very interested to try our next time in Paris. I would recommend this class to everyone, even those with slim to no baking knowledge.

An absolute delight. Our Chef was excellent, efficient and was clearly very experienced. She kept our working area in pristine condition and related on a meaningful level. Sublime perfection. -Cheryl
The macaron class with Laeticia was absolutely wonderful! I have always been intimidated to try baking macarons and she made the entire experience comfortable. If you have the chance, don’t skip on this class. Bonus, you get to take home a bunch of yummy macarons.
Leo was great. He made the experience so much fun. He gave concise instructions and we left with a recipe and macarons. Highly recommend!!
Response from Host, Sep 2026
Thank you so much for your wonderful review—and for your kind words about the macaron class.
I’m thrilled to hear you found the experience so much fun and that the instructions were clear and concise. It means a lot to know you left with both a recipe and a batch of delicious macarons to enjoy.
Thank you also for the high recommendation! If you ever return to Paris, we’d be delighted to welcome you back for another class.
Warmly,
Team Studio Pâtisserie
An experiential view into French culture. Great for our kids who love baking and learning! Great for an experienced baker and even great for myself; a complete novice.
Response from Host, Sep 2026
Thank you so much for your lovely review, Sara! We’re delighted that your family enjoyed this hands-on taste of French culture and that the macaron class was rewarding for both your children and the adults.
It means a lot to hear that the experience worked equally well for enthusiastic young bakers, experienced bakers, and complete beginners. Creating macarons together is such a special way to learn, have fun, and share a little piece of Paris.
Warm regards,
From all of us at Studio Pâtisserie
I am quite delinquent in writing this review since we took this macaron class more than one month ago. The fact that I am doing so now is an indication of how terrific it was! Our family of four consisted of two parents, a twenty-something daughter, and one mother/mother-in-law. We all enjoyed the activity very much as well as the yummy treats we were able to take with us to share with other family members. My daughter was so inspired that we purchased items to recreate the magic at home. (Haven't tried yet :-).) The highlight, of course, was our host and pastry chef, Laeticia. She was a wonderful instructor with a fascinating personal story to boot. We can't wait to try making macarons at home - and to return to Paris for another class!
Response from Host, Sep 2026
Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a thoughtful review! We’re delighted that your whole family—from your daughter to her grandmother—enjoyed the macaron class together and had plenty of treats to take home and share.
It is especially wonderful to hear that the experience inspired your daughter to continue baking at home. We hope your first homemade batch of macarons is a great success!
Laeticia will be so happy to read your kind words. We’re thrilled that her instruction and story made the class even more memorable. It was a pleasure to welcome your family to Studio Pâtisserie, and we look forward to seeing you again on your next visit to Paris.

Small little bakery conveniently located near our rental. I didn't know anything about the work and effort it takes, but it was a lot of fun. They tasted so delicious after letting it cool. Overall atmosphere and experience is a 10/10.
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Thank you so much, Richard, for this lovely review and for stopping by our little bakery during your stay in Paris. We’re delighted that the class was both fun and eye‑opening in terms of how much care and effort goes into making macarons.
It’s wonderful to hear that your macarons tasted so delicious once they had cooled—waiting is always the hardest part! Knowing that you felt the atmosphere and overall experience were a “10/10” truly means a lot to us and to the whole team here in the studio.
We hope your homemade macarons will bring back sweet memories of your time in Paris, and we’d be very happy to welcome you back to Studio Pâtisserie on a future visit.

Thank you so much for this fantastic review Cynthia! We’re thrilled to hear that you found the class superior from start to finish and that your instructor’s clear explanations made each step of the macaron process easy to follow.
We take pride in offering a well-equipped kitchen in an accessible, central location, so it’s wonderful to know that everything—from the equipment to finding the studio—worked smoothly for you. And of course, we’re delighted that your macarons turned out both beautiful and delicious.

Vivi made this experience truly amazing. We had so much fun. The macarons were delicious. I would highly recommend.
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re thrilled that Vivi made your macaron class such a memorable and enjoyable experience. She will be so happy to know that her guidance helped make the session special.
There is nothing better than sharing a relaxed, hands-on afternoon in the kitchen—especially when it ends with delicious macarons to enjoy and take home. Thank you for recommending us, and we hope to welcome you back to Studio Pâtisserie for another sweet Parisian experience soon.

This was such a fun experience. Our teacher was the absolute best. She was extremely knowledgeable and really helped us to know what to look for. We made beautiful, tasty macarons to take home. I feel like I will be able to replicate the experience when I get home.
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Thank you Tina for your wonderful review! We’re so happy you had such a fun time in our macaron class and that your chef made the process clear, enjoyable, and approachable.
Macarons can seem intimidating at first, so it is especially rewarding to hear that you now feel confident enough to recreate them at home. Knowing what to look for at each stage—from preparing the batter to piping, baking, and filling—makes all the difference, and we’re delighted you left with both beautiful macarons and the skills to make them again.
We hope every batch brings back a sweet memory of Paris. You’ll always be very welcome in our kitchen for another French pastry class!
Warm regards,
From all of us at Studio Pâtisserie

Maria was great. She was funny and knows the art of macarons. Everything was very organized. We each took home 22 macarons and swapped flavors so everyone got 3 flavors. A highlight of the trip.

Vivien was great! Friendly and efficient and guided us through the class quickly! The time flew past and we got the macaroons done with all steps included plus a recipe. Also got a nice cup of drink at the end while waiting for the baking to be done. Recommended 10/10.. just note that location is rather quiet but it’s nearby the subway
Response from Host, May 2026
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear you had such a great time with Chef Vivian and that you enjoyed the full macaron experience from start to finish. It’s great to know the pace, guidance, and little touches like the drink at the end made it even more enjoyable.

Excellent and everything you would expect: Cordon Bleu trained pastry chef, highly organized, started and finished on-time, a proper facility (clean, bright, well-equipped), and most importantly fun and engaging. You never knew it was possible to make your own quality macarons until it’s done! I wish all Viator experiences were this good, and some others were mediocre.
Response from Host, Apr 2026

The instructor, Vivian, was adorable! What I enjoyed most about the class was learning techniques. Recipes tell you what, but this class teaches you the small details that you can’t get from a book. I left almost 2 dozen macarons & my family loved them! Cannot wait to get home & make them for parties. Really a FUN couple of hours!
Response from Host, Feb 2026

Great experience! We all loved making the macaroons and it truly was a “must do” in Paris. The macaroons were so delicious and the chef was exceptional and very helpful. We left with 22 delicious macaroons each and we can’t stop eating them.
Response from Host, Jan 2026
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear you had such a great time in our macaron class and that you enjoyed both the experience and the sweet results. Twenty-two macarons each — what a delicious accomplishment!

Marie is an absolute professional. The entire experience (for a non-baker) was fun and not stressful at all. I learned a lot and also picked up some very helpful tips on how to make the perfect macarons. We made black currant and white chocolate. You get to choose the flavors. I left with about 2 dozens cookies. Make sure you book early into your trip so you have time to eat them before you get on the plane.
Response from Host, Dec 2025
Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re thrilled you enjoyed the macaron class with Chef Marie and had fun discovering the secrets to perfect macarons. Black currant and white chocolate is such a delicious choice! We hope the sweet memories of Paris last forever with you.

We knew we wanted a macaron class while in Paris and this turned out great (if a little geographically inconvenient). We had Maria and a class of 8. She made the allegedly difficult art of preparing macarons seem simple, we had a blast, and left with way more than we imagined. I pictured a small box with around 4 per person. It was more like 20 each. We picked a color and flavor for each pair of bakers (I’m not sure how they’d handle a single or odd number). Highly recommend.
Response from Host, Sep 2025
Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re so glad you had a fun time with Chef Maria and enjoyed discovering how approachable macaron making can be. It’s wonderful to hear you left with so many delicious creations to enjoy—definitely more than expected! We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back for another pastry adventure when you’re next in Paris.
For single or odd numbers, we will pair you up with another participant or with the chef - it's a fun way to interact with another fellow baker and make new friends
Warm regards,
Team Studio Pâtisserie
The class size was small which allowed for personal guidance and a lot of fun. My daughter and I enjoyed it.
Response from Host, Sep 2025
Thank you for your lovely review! We’re delighted to hear that you and your daughter enjoyed the macaron class and appreciated the personal guidance that comes with a small group. We’re so glad it was a fun experience for you both and hope to welcome you back again soon.

The whole process of booking was really difficult, the experience was overpriced, and we ended up missing it because the directions we clicked on at the top of the email were wrong so we arrived late. Viator made no effort to even meet us half way on losing all that money plus the time and cost of getting out to the venue
Response from Host, Aug 2025
We are sorry to read that you were unable to join the class. We always strive to make our experiences smooth and enjoyable, and we provide the exact address and detailed directions in the booking confirmation to ensure guests can arrive at the correct location on time.
In this case, the information sent from our side was accurate, but it seems that the wrong address link was used when searching, which unfortunately resulted in a late arrival. As this is a live, hands-on pastry workshop with a strict start time, we are unable to admit participants once the class has begun.
Whenever guests have any difficulty on the way, we encourage them to contact us directly — our team is always ready to assist in real time to help avoid missing the activity.
We truly regret that you did not get to enjoy the class, and we hope you may have a chance in the future to experience making authentic French macarons with our Chef.

Team Studio Pâtisserie
