Guest sentiment
A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"One of best place with best location down town. And yummy. The chicken Cesar sandwich was super fresh and tasty. Also the Greek salad ! Will come back for sure. And the open space and great view of down town to look at people passing by."
"A real Parisian patisserie! Best croissants in the city . Real butter and flaky! Conscience as near City center on pedestrian street ! Went nearly every day and tried a few different pastries and walked it off every day ! I didn’t gain a pound lol"
"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."
"One of my favorite chain in Mexico City. I love the sweets and the food on the menu. They have a large selection of pastries and drinks."
"10/10 would recommend! Pan de muerte relleno de nata was the best we have tried, along with their selection of croissants! Coffee was great. Overall extremely happy with our experience & service was impeccable. Capitan Daniel was super attentive, excellent service."
"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."
"Lovely patio to sit on while eating delicious, European style pastries. Not traditional Mexican but very tasty nevertheless!"
