Here at A Spoonful of Sugar we are passionate about baking and cooking. While in Paris we spent a day browsing through cooking stores and buying a few supplies for some French inspired baking. We were like two kids in a candy store – seriously, we had never before seen such an extensive range of cake tins, moulds, cookie cutters, and baking supplies – it was almost overwhelming! Many of the stores catered for baking professionals/pastry chefs – it was so much fun.
First up we explored the stores on rue Montmatre (Metro: Les Halles; RER: Châtelet/Les Halles). These stores primarily cater for professional chefs and had commercial grade supplies.
On our last day in Paris, we discovered a lovely cooking store next to our hotel, inside the Gare St Lazare train station in a big modern shopping mall.

Du Bruit Dans La Cuisine has a great range of cooking utensils, baking supplies, gourmet food, cook books, and home wares. There was a cooking demonstration in progress at the rear of the store.

Alice Delice had a great range of baking supplies, cake tins, home wares and more.
Department Stores
We also explored the baking sections of Le Bon Marche, Galeries Lafayette (Maison Store), and BHV. These all had a good range of baking supplies, not as wide as the speciality stores, but still worthy of a look.
If you are planning a trip to Paris, don’t forget to checkout our favourite craft stores in Paris.
Do you know about Dehilllerin? That was one cook shop we visited when we were in Paris in ’11. It was like a treasure of cookware- copperware and lots of gadget – fabulous! Check out the website and marvel at the prices!
What an awesome list! Definitely will be a must for my next Paris trip (to be honest, I have no clue how I will carry all of the things I buy home with me, ha ha)!
I second Patchwork ad play: please don’t tell me you missed Dehillerin! Great prices, great selection and even if you are strong enough to not buy it’s an experience to walk in and find yourself in a store that still looks like 50 years ago.
(fun list otherwise though :-))
Thanks so much for this post. I came across your blog while searching for cake supply stores in Paris. I’ve been to Paris many times, but this will be my mom’s first trip. I hope she doesn’t mind me dragging her to cake stores when she wants to see tourist stuff. If she does I will blame you for telling me about all of these awesome spots to check out 😛
I am sure you Mum will enjoy the cooking stores. There are lots of cafes in this area as well so you can always reward her with some coffee and cake 🙂 Have a great trip!
