A chain bakery with a serious sweet counter
This is a branch of the Eric Kayser chain, and it sits on Rue Mstislav Rostropovitch in Batignolles, near Brochant station.
The sweet side is where it earns its keep. The Palais Royal is a chocolate hazelnut cake, rich enough that it works as the whole reason for stopping. Chocolate eclairs and madeleines hold up alongside it, and the lemon tart and galette des rois show the seasonal baking is handled with care. On the savoury side, the tuna sandwich is the one that stands out, generously filled enough to convert someone who had given up on them. Coffee is worth ordering too.
You order at the counter and take it away; there is a seating area if you want to eat in, and the bread is bagged separately from salads and cutlery. Breads and viennoiseries are the everyday backbone, and the pastries and cakes are what bring people back.
Prices read as steep, with a large coffee with plant-based milk running to several euros.
It is a stop for a pastry and a coffee in Batignolles.

The coffee is a specific draw, and a barista's care makes the cup memorable.
Palais Royal chocolate hazelnut cake
The Palais Royal chocolate hazelnut cake is the pastry to get first here; it is fabulous and worth the trip on its own.

The chocolate eclairs are good, and the madeleines alongside them hold up too.
Tuna sandwich
The tuna sandwich is a particular favourite, even for someone who had given up on tuna sandwiches after bad experiences elsewhere.
Galette des rois

Who is this for
This suits a traveler based in or passing through Batignolles, with Brochant station close by. It also works for anyone hunting a specific cake, since the Palais Royal and the eclairs are on offer.
If you want to browse fresh produce and assemble a picnic rather than buy a single cake, Marché Couvert Batignolles on Rue des Moines is the market stop for that.
The verdict
The sweet counter is worth a look.
