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.
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!
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.
A very fun, memorable, and informative experience that I highly recommend for anyone who seriously wants to learn how to make macaroons with less frustration. Laticia was an excellent, informative instructor. She guided us step-by-step and was very helpful with tips and tricks to improve macaroon success. Very professional, very nice, and very positive with us. Highly recommend.
Thank you so much for this amazing review! We’re delighted that you found the macaron class fun, memorable, and informative, and that your instructor’s step‑by‑step guidance helped remove the frustration from learning macarons. We’re very happy to know that the equipment and set‑up worked well for you, that our studio was easy to find, and that your macarons turned out both beautiful and delicious—exactly the goal of the class. Your warm recommendation means a great deal to us. We’d be thrilled to welcome you back to Studio Pâtisserie any time you’re in Paris and ready for another French pastry adventure. Warm regards, From all of us at Studio Pâtisserie
Superior. Instructor fabulous! Clearly explained steps. Excellent equipment. Easy to find location. Highly recommend. Macarons beautiful and delicious.

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.

We’d be very happy to welcome you back to Studio Pâtisserie for more French pastry adventures on your next trip to Paris. Warm regards, From all of us at Studio Pâtisserie
A enjoyable day activity to do with your friends and family when visiting Paris! It exceeded my expectations as the class is easy to follow and the recipe is emailed to you at the end of the class. The class is perfect for amateur bakers. The studio also offer private classes which I will recommend for serious baker looking to learn authentic French techniques!
Thank you so much Gabby for your wonderful review! We’re delighted that the macaron class exceeded your expectations and that you found it such an enjoyable activity to share with friends and family while visiting Paris. We design the class to be clear, relaxed, and hands-on, so amateur bakers can follow each stage with confidence and leave with both delicious macarons and a recipe to continue practising at home. It means a lot to hear that you found it accessible while still offering an authentic French pastry experience. Thank you as well for mentioning our private classes. They are a wonderful option for passionate bakers who would like more personalised guidance, extra time to explore techniques in depth, and a class tailored to their interests and experience level. We hope to welcome you—and perhaps your friends and family—back to Studio Pâtisserie for another sweet Paris experience. Warm regards, From all of us at Studio Pâtisserie
Wonderful experience. Raining a lot that day so unfortunately he only had the two of us. The process was fast, but very informative and the instructor was extremely personable. It's also nice he had his dog there with him. Americans seem to think that a dog in a food establishment will cause sudden death, yet we cook in our kitchen with our dogs at our feet everyday. Nice to see Parisians not so uptight. Our macarons came out perfect! We're excited to make them at home. My only wish was maybe that, since we paid for two classes, that we could have made separate batches instead of one batch that we halved, or maybe it was one double batch and then split it. It might have been fun to do, like in the picture, two different colors or flavors as if we were two strangers taking the class. Regardless, we highly recommend taking the class and take copious notes! Incidentally, we bought some macarons when we got back to the US and they weren't as perfect as the ones we made in this class. I think they didn't "drop the baking sheet". IYKYK.
Thank you for such a thoughtful and wonderfully detailed review. We’re so glad that, despite the rainy weather, you had an informative, enjoyable, and personal macaron experience with us—and that your macarons came out perfectly! It is fantastic to hear that the instructions felt both easy to follow and precise. Macarons are all about the small details, and we love teaching the practical little techniques that make the difference—yes, including the famous baking-sheet tap! We are especially happy that you felt inspired and confident to recreate them at home. Thank you as well for your helpful feedback about making separate batches or experimenting with different colours and flavours when two guests book together. We truly appreciate the suggestion and will keep it in mind as we continue refining the experience. We aim to make every class hands-on, flexible, and memorable, whether guests join as friends, couples, family, or independently. We’re delighted you would recommend the class, and we hope every future batch of macarons brings you back to your rainy—but very sweet—day in Paris. Warm regards, From all of us at Studio Pâtisserie
Vivi made this experience truly amazing. We had so much fun. The macarons were delicious. I would highly recommend.
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. Warm regards, From all of us at Studio Pâtisserie
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.
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
Well prepared clean working environment! bring your appetite you will make a LOT of macaroons! Chef was very knowledgeable
Thank you so much for such a lovely review! We’re delighted you enjoyed the experience—from the clean, well-prepared kitchen to making plenty of macarons to take home and share. Our goal is for every guest to feel welcomed, supported, and confident throughout the class, whether it is their first time making macarons or they already love baking. We’re especially happy that you found the chef knowledgeable and enjoyed learning the techniques behind these delicate French treats. We hope your macarons brought a little taste of Paris to everyone lucky enough to try them. We would be thrilled to welcome you back for another hands-on pastry adventure soon! Warm regards, From all of us at Studio Pâtisserie
