Mamiche is a neighborhood artisanal bakery in the 9th, famed for its cinnamon rolls and addictive babka.
Description
Founded in 2017 by Victoria Effantin (baker) and Cécile Khayat (pastry chef), Mamiche quickly became a beloved neighborhood bakery in Paris’s 9ᵗʰ arrondissement. They offer hand‑kneaded sourdough bread, laminated viennoiseries, handmade biscuits and gourmet sandwiches—all entirely house‑made.
Prices remain delightfully accessible: tradition baguette at €1, pastries around €1–2, with signature items like their babka and cinnamon rolls (voted best in Paris by Figaroscope). They bake around 150 cinnamon rolls a day, but they often sell out fast.
The bright, wood‑framed storefront with exposed stone and vintage‑style furnishings evokes a warm, neighborhood feel. Early risers queue from opening at 8 a.m. (Tuesday–Saturday; closed Sunday & Monday).
Their product range includes sourdough loaves (Mamiche miche, muesli, campagne), flaky croissants, Valrhona pain au chocolat, vanilla or chocolate‑filled doughnuts, melt‑in‑your‑mouth cookies, and the signature orange‑blossom & chocolate babka. Savory items like pesto fougasse, ham‑cheese rolls, baguette or brioche sandwiches and Lomi coffee complete the offering.
Its clientele includes devoted locals, pastry lovers and savvy tourists seeking authentic flavors at fair prices. The atmosphere is unpretentious, friendly and inclusive.
Fun fact: the cinnamon roll won the best in Paris title and often sells out before midday. The founders left marketing careers to pursue their bakery dream, embodying passion and artisanal revival.
