"It was lunch time and I wanted something light as I was going to try out a few other places, so Maison Kayser seemed like a good choice. This location was located near the National Museum of Art and the seating made it a great spot for enjoying the view. It feels like you are having a coffee at an European city at a comfy café. I ordered a simple caramelized onion quiche with a salad, which were quite good and seasoned just right. I wish I had more room for more of their appetizing pastries that I saw in the display cases. Maybe next time I go to Mexico City, I will finally try them."

"Best french bakery that I have tested since France ... The chocolatine and almond chocolatine are just heaven. You can feel the butter when eating them and the almond powder and chocolate are just perfectly balanced. I was not expecting to find such an amazing place in the center of Mexico city... If you are visiting just stop by and try those !"

"Place is super nice. Food is incredible and the experience is just phenomenal. Staff is a little quirky. Forgetful and they don’t anticipate guests needs, so be patient with them and make sure you articulate what you want."
