The Art of Macaron
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

Macaron Mania, Oui!
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.

Class was soo much fun!
Leo was great. He made the experience so much fun. He gave concise instructions and we left with a recipe and macarons. Highly recommend!!
Operator response
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

Great experience
We had a course with Vivienne and she was such a delight, authentically friendly and fun to be around. She shared quite a few tips and tricks to get around to make the perfect macaron and shared common mistakes and how to fix them. The course was well thought through and the time was well used. We also got the recipe for further use at home. The recipe is quite short and doesn’t include detailed instructions like for example how to do macaronage, so we had to add that from memory to the notes - it would be great if that was included in the recipe. Other than that it was a perfect experience! Thank you so much.
Operator response
Thank you so much for your thoughtful and detailed review! We’re delighted that you enjoyed the macaron class with Vivienne and appreciated her friendly, fun approach, as well as the practical tips for perfecting macarons and solving common issues. We’re also very grateful for your helpful feedback about the recipe. You are absolutely right that including more detailed guidance on important techniques such as macaronage would make it even more useful when recreating the recipe at home. We truly appreciate you bringing this to our attention and will take it into consideration as we improve our materials. Thank you again for joining us. We’re so pleased that, overall, you had a perfect experience and hope your homemade macarons are a great success! Warm regards, From all of us at Studio Pâtisserie

An experience!
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.
Operator response
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

A fun family activity in Paris!
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!
Operator response
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. Warm regards, From all of us at Studio Pâtisserie

Small little bakery...
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.
Operator response
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.

Great class with a great teacher!
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.
