After a year leaving in Paris I've concluded, you can get an amazing pastry for around 5 euros, an you shouldn't spend more than 8 on a high end pastry.
I know im going to offend lots of people saying this but, cedric grolet is overrated, he's a popular handsome guy that did collab with lots of huge celebrities, his pastries taste good but not worth the wait and the high prices, there's plenty of mom and pops pastry shop in paris who made incredible unique pastry and cost 6-8 € tops, 35€ could get you a whole entremet / cakes.
no he’s not overrated, high quality comes at a price and his name and title as voted best pastry chef in the world has a price tag as well - large scale products use less quality ingredient than what you see in his recipees - even making them at home with his ingredients list sets you back quite a bit of money - just check out prices for quality vanilla beans and he uses a ton of them …
This reminds me of designer brands selling basic tshirts for thousands of dollars. Its all marketing. Its amazing how easily a fool is departed from his money. I need to open a "high end pastry shop" and charge $50 per pastry.
I don't think it's ripoff. It's just... Not a product for everybody, or that everybody will want. It's the cost of an influencer's 30 second video. You wanna have your moment in life feeling like an influencer? You go there. It's pretty, it's a *lot* of work from an aesthetic point of view. You want a good pastry? You go elsewhere. You don't go to Cedric Grolet to eat a pastry.i'm clearly not the kind of person who will ever put a feet there. That said, the sad truth is that good pastries are expensive, even more so in Paris. Like. 5-6 bucks a piece expensive, and most bakeries and patisseries will have these prices while not having the real work behind. Best hint I can give is to not go to Paris for good pastries, but go to the best bakeries-patisseries of smaller french towns, where you can often found real jewels.
@@melbournestacker Because its the same with any "luxurious" product. Its about finding as many dumb people as possible to buy overpriced crap. Luxus clothing brands, iPhones, these influencer food trends and much more
@@michelrodrigues110 A pastry can only taste so good. It's not like the pastry is altering the molecular composition of your tongue and increasing your taste buds ability to taste something. Sugar tastes sweet. Groundbreaking. Butter and flour also has a distinct composition chemically we're all familiar with. You can decorate these ingredients all you'd like but they all have a familiar taste that can only go so far. $35 is expensive objectively. You're just spending money for the presentation and marketing at that point.
Typical ignorant american answer.pastries are not just sugar+flour ,maybe for you americans .but in the case of high end french pastries it’s pistachio paste,piémont hazelnut,high quality orange blossom water,butter from specific regions of france ,very good chocolate,vanilla beans ,unique savoir-faire etc.. it has NOTHING to do with your cheap sugary american stuff
Don’t get me wrong Cedric’s pastries are nice. But two things a) they are way too expensive for a city like Paris, most of his price is due because he is trendy and very strong in social media b) there are actually better even pastries in Paris.
To be fair that vanilla cup cake had alot of vanilla beans in it like alot im assuming its fresh ingredients on top of what surprises are inside em and the labor justifys price i bet they are delicious ❤😊
Darling 35 would be what i would charge for a whole cake, there's no 'but', it's 35 euros. I am happy for the bakery that can sell this tasty looking stuff for 35 but damn, i wish i could afford that...
@@dragutinv85CUPcake😂- if you can hold the entire thing in your hand, it’s a cupcake, don’t you think? 😅 I concur, too pricey. However, for many it’s a once in a lifetime deal, so if pressed, I’d get one.😆
@@mmh290 The word for pastry and cake may be the same in that user's native language, and it's not a cupcake either, a cupcake is an over the top muffin.
Ridiculous prices! Every French town has patisseries with fabulous partie pastries, far cheaper. BTW how can you mispronoy certain the name of such a famous shop? It's proved ' growlay'!
Fuck that line and fuck paying those high ass prices just cause it’s a clouted place. That’s crazy how those people in line care about an over priced pastie. I need to make some hole in the wall place with overpriced stuff to make a killing wtf
As French who not live in Paris , I found this hype about grolet really stupid ^^ Hour of waiting for outrageous excessive price pastry ^^ Parisian are like another county inside France ^^
It just looks so over-filled with that pistachio cream. No wonder it's rich. They put one tart case a little pistachio base and a shit-ton of pistachio cream in it. It's big to make you feel like it's even remotely worth it, but it's not! They've just made their product worse!
This is certifiably insane. There are dozens of fabulous pastry shops all over Paris where you can get amazing pastry for five to €10 and not stand in line for more than 10 minutes… Don’t be a lemming.
It is, i haven't tried them, but i can say I'm 100% sure Cedric's pastries are worth every penny, i hope i can try them before i die 😢 it's one of my life dreams
35!!!! No way !!!! No F way !!!!! There’s no way in hell I would spend 35 euros which is like what , 40 USD in 1 pastry!!! The world has lost its F mind!
It's Paris. There are people paying premium for gold leaf on their food that does nothing other than look expensive and out of place. And let people spend those 35 for a pastry if they want, i certainly will not though, although they look very tasty.
37? My local bakery would make a 2 kilogram cake for that. And their stuff is insanely good. Nothing against the bakery there, obviously a different clientele and you can see the care they put in their work, just crazy that people will pay so much and wait so long because of image and presentation.
A good middle ground in Paris is Stohrer. The oldest patisserie in Paris, and actually a real historical experience. It's an alsacian patisserie, where the rhum-baba was invented. It *is* expensive. Like, 5-7 bucks for one cake for one person (the babka is insane though and cheaper). But it is placed in the middle of Paris, and has been since 1730, on an *expensive* place. Cedric Grolet is basically if you wanna play at being an influencer, it's the same kind of people who go there as those who go in holidays in Dubai.
Too much overpriced and overrated…I prefer to go to the small traditional pâtisserie then paying for this fancy package pastry but not tasty as the price.
Stop saying „going back“ and „35€… expensive, bu-“ NO. It‘s way too expensive. Dude. What should a poor kid struggling to buy food think of you saying stuff like this. You know how long u could feed em wirh rice and vegs?
After a year leaving in Paris I've concluded, you can get an amazing pastry for around 5 euros, an you shouldn't spend more than 8 on a high end pastry.
I wish i could one day start a conversation with, after a year of living in Paris or anywhere were bread and pastries is as European.
Trust me as a French Cédric is getting BASHED by French social media for its price. Its a tourist trap
Good Padawan ! ;)
Man, traffic must be insane if it took you a year to leave Paris
the public transport and airport personnel was on strike, so annoying 😂
My anxiety when he held it up over the windowsill 📈📈📈📈📈
Then go to a doctor for mental health checkup
And he was shaking too 😭
Even if I waited 2 hours to go in and then was asked for €35, i'd walk out empty-handed.
That's a tourist trap. There's a lot of gourmet pastry shop in Paris that are way cheaper with the same level of quality.
Not really, it´s a THING now but the flavors and the look are uniques. Fame costs a lot.
Like what?
@@michelrodrigues110The flavors Cedric Grolet are not unique. A lot of pastry chefs use the same ingredients and flavor combinations.
@@desertknights5003Claire Heitzler, Hugo Victor, Philippe Conticini, etc...
@@ksarah1 thanks a lot
35!!!?? That's a nasty price
@@KOATOP sorry my low middle income ass just can't comprehend that, I could buy a week worth of dish with that amount in Aldi 😩
@@rzool2050 agree. For that amount of money you can get some really high quality stuff in Paris, and have enough to repeat it more than once
That’s like a medium quality bottle of wine for a weeknight. I would definitely try these!
Plus two hours of your liftime gone (queing)
Sorry, you are wrong and it costs only 17€ each...tried last week
Flight to paris 890
Pastry 35 euros 40 usd
*gets vanilla*!!!!!!
35 bucks for ONE PASTRY? Nah man, you got robbed.
35 euros =40 USD or more

Can you recommend some of these cheaper pretty good pastry shop?
I will never wait in line for food. It's the food influencers who hype up food places and then it's a herd mentality.
Totally agree… time is such an underrated resource.
I’ve been here! I promise it’s nothing memorable LMAO
That pastry should make me levitate
I thought people are waiting in line because it's free 😂😂😂😂

There are many good bakeries out there, that you don't have to book in advance, and prices are decent. This place is ripoff.

overpriced crap for tourists go to a good rated normal boulangerie and it'll be at least as good
Those first pastries the woman was working on looked like fancy fudge rounds
Normally I'd be outraged, but I'd pay it. That pistachio one looks INCREDIBLE. It probably looks better than it tastes though
$40 for a fancy donut
ignorant, Donut is an american low quality pastry with NO comparasion with european pastry.

Where? Please recommend some places, Carton? Du pain et des?
.... Living in Tokyo, there is no way in hell I'd pay that much for a pasty.
My mouth started to water when I looked at the inside of that masterpiece you were eating! It looks so good!
brother you can buy a whole cake for that price
Cedric is awensome
To be fair that vanilla cup cake had alot of vanilla beans in it like alot im assuming its fresh ingredients on top of what surprises are inside em and the labor justifys price i bet they are delicious ❤😊
“They’re very big” as he holds the whole thing easily in one hand
$37 for that cupcake? Sheesh 😩
You need to see how much work goes into making one of these. I’ve watch Cedric’s masterclass and it’s insane 😂 but yes it’s expensive of course:)
Not a cupcake at all.
That's so not a cupcake
Nobody cares how much time it takes. For 37€, not worth it.
😭😭😭
If you paid that much in Paris, you’re scammed.
35 euros😨 wow
It's pronounced GROWLAY!
Thank you! It was bugging me too 😅
Was that a red velvet cupcake toward the end?
Dang...wish I had something like this close to me
Wow❤
No thanks, the cost of living with that price. I'm running away from that store 🏃♀️
just so you know cedric grolet is known for his public support for far right political parties and xenophobic political figures
Why didnt u half them! Have the experience of both.
Oh and then you said, "i couldnt finish it"
Why didnt you split it!

I think its mistake from author, I was there recently and they were around 17eur. I suppose he meant 35eur are both.
Not a mistake, it changes frequently based on size and the pastries they are doing at the time

Merveilleuse pâtisserie..... Mais les emballages sont t ils recyclable... 🤔🤔🤔
It just looks so over-filled with that pistachio cream. No wonder it's rich. They put one tart case a little pistachio base and a shit-ton of pistachio cream in it. It's big to make you feel like it's even remotely worth it, but it's not! They've just made their product worse!
35, wow. What marketing
They are expensive because they use real dry nuts not just full of sugar and flour
Yeah.... I'm not paying £30 for pastry 😅
No wonder there's a $30 sandwich in New York, people just buy it 🤷
I cant believe we pay the same for a whatever pie in america as in Paris

GROLEY
W💚W!
35,00 EUR for a pastry..no thank you! Paying for the hype.
I don't know what to do with my money so let me just buy a small pastry for 35euro. Hmmmm
80$ is crazy
The sheeple are queueing for pastry?
35!
35 is ridiculous. they are bonkin ya'll over the head
Holysh!t 35 euro each. Crazy people buying tat sh!t marketing junk But I will join the waiting lane 😝.
On the video we can see the price ... it's 17euro but still very expensive😅
He said it was 35 euros??? For 1 pastry??
Gro-lay
It says 17 so 35 both..😂
Is it worth it for 35 euros?😧
Considering he's going back for it, probably yes...

@@naolink. yeah i would love to try them as well but the queue will take some time😂
Yes because they are soo good and also big enough to share with 3 people
I’d definitely smash the whole pastry.
Nice advertising, you really think normal people will qué up to pay 35 for a damn pastry!!!! Ridiculous and looked basic
Eu pagaria numa boa
I'll simply master how to make a delicious cupcake by myself
I wouldn't pay 35$ for a pastery even if my life depends on it.
You couldn't finish that in one sitting, mate? I'd devour that real quick

That's extortionate! Even Philippe Conticini, who's probably the best pastry chef in France, doesn't charge that much for individual portion pastries

Exactly. That’s like a medium quality bottle of wine for a weeknight. I would definitely try these!
