"Although known primarily for his superlative breads, Eric Kayser produces some terrific chocolate pastries, including an unusual chocolate financier: tiny buttons of cake, rich with ground almonds and lots of dark chocolate, one of my favorite goûtes in Paris."

Catherine Bézard

"Eric Kayser made the best baguette in France!"

Girls Guide to Paris

"The best baguette in Paris is always down to personal taste. I will never be swayed from my loyalty to Eric Kayser."

Meg Zimbeck

"But what of the baguette? Kayser’s Paris version – the crispy crackly baguette Monge – was ranked #1 in our list of five great baguettes."

Ralph Gardner Jr.

"The baguette was as delightful as I could have desired—the crust simultaneously crusty and chewy, the bread inside as light, fluffy and substantial as a cloud."

New York Magazine

"It’s there, behind the frenetic cashiers, that you’ll find Kayser’s gift to our carb-starved masses: his baguette Monge."

Village Voice

"The baguette is slightly stout with air holes that would threaten to float away were they not contained by a golden crust. And of course, the distinctive point end that lets you know it is a Kayser creation."

Steena Holmes

"At Maison Kayser they take great care into perfecting the baguette and that is why the President and his wife would have these baguettes at their personal table."

Chris Cockren

"I was a big fan of Eric Kayser’s artisanal offerings while in Paris: the financiers as well as a smattering of other tarts and pastries always satisfied my sweet tooth cravings."

Gabriella Gershenson

"One of the best I've tasted is this fine-crumbed version from Paris baker Eric Kayser, which he makes in several flavors, including the especially excellent, nut-rich pistachio; it melts in the mouth, a quiet luxury as indelible as any madeleine."
