New Paris Bakery & Candy Shop

Ordered mini eclairs to serve at parties we have hosted. Always special, delicious and a very nice touch. Also appreciated as a gift to someone who is hosting you. Remember they need to go in the fridge until they are served or they get ruined, so don’t pick up and drive around for a few hours before serving or handing over as a gift. You can call in advance to place an order for a large quantity — with enough notice they will make as many as you want and box and hold them for you until agreed upon pick up time. If you pay in advance, even easier. There is usually just one person paying attention to everyone who wants service so sometimes you will have to wait. Very old fashioned feeling in the place, just delightful. And order extra because no-​one can resist an éclair, especially a mini! Or two. Or three.

I went to this bakery a while and tried out this éclair for the first time of my life. It taste surprisingly good!!! I’ve never thought that there will be an unsweetened filling inside a desert (it’s not actually unsweetened) it’s help to make the sweetness of chocolate a lot calmer so that you won’t feel hydrated even if you eat a whole bunch éclair.

This little bakery has been in Brookline for close to a 100 years!!! Such friendly staff who love to chat and get to know you so don’t be afraid to get to know them and their history. The interior does not look very impressive, but they’ve been there for a while so you know they must be good.
I read so many positive reviews about their eclairs so I just had to take a stop by and try one for myself. I just got 2 chocolate and 1 vanilla at $ 1.25 a piece and… I absolutely loved them!!! The cream filling was so smooth, light, and not too sweet so it was the perfect balance with the rest of the éclair.
I’ve passed by this place countless times over the years and I’m sad that I’m only finding out about them now! Definitely take a quick stop by and try some of their sweets :)

The eclairs at this place are amazing. A bit on the expensive side, but you can’t find them like that anywhere else in the area. Shop is very small and mom and pop like. The owners are very friendly every time I go in there.

I’ve only tried the eclairs and the macaroons but I absolutely love both! The filling is delicious and the pastry is perfect. Macaroons are amazing.

Arriving later in the day (around 3:30pm, give or take), the selection was expectedly limited, and even admittedly so by the very pleasant apparent owner. I asked her and another woman who seemed to be related to or a close friend of the owner what they would recommend I get to share with my girlfriend, and responded with, almost in unison, their eclairs, as if it were a no-​brainer. I got four.
I picked out a couple oatmeal raisin and raspberry thumbprint cookies, both of which were delicious, the thumbprint cookies a stand-​out. I refrigerated the mini eclairs for a good while before devouring them. The cream was light and the chocolate was very flavorful and delicious.
The packaging for the eclairs was super cute and my overall experience was elevated by the attentive and helpful staff. I’ll certainly return.

One word: eclairs. So. Good. Not too expensive, filling is just right, the staff is super cute and helpful, location is great, I don’t know what else to say go get fat.

Stopped in during a walk around the neighborhood (OK — to Cutty’s) after hearing several rave reviews for months about this place. While the selection was limited, the sweet woman working told us that due to the crazy amounts of snow Boston has received this winter, slow sales have led to a caused a temporary limited selection of goods. Upon learning we were first time customers, she offered my boyfriend and I each one of the mini eclairs. We were hooked and left with 6, along with 2 mini macaroon cookies. I’ll definitely be back during the summer to check out the full selection and pick up some more of these delicious eclairs!

Oh New Paris, how do I love you? Let me count the ways…
Because I am up to about 1000 by now!
How is it that I grew up in Brookline and have never reviewed NPB? Perhaps because like all of these hidden gems, we don’t want everyone flocking here, creating mad traffic in Brookline Village and lines out the door. Maybe, or perhaps it is just my bad.
Anyhow, stopped into New Paris yesterday with my significant other who lives out of town and needed the proper tour of Brookline, and all «proper tours» include food, right? Bought 4 eclairs and walked out of there feeling as though I had just won the food lottery, and you also have to appreciate the love shown by the young man who ties the box up with the old school string. Love it.
I love you, New Paris…

My boyfriend and I were out for a walk and stumbled upon this place tucked on a side street by Brookline Village. We went in (just to look) and struck up a conversation with the lady that was working. She told us about the history of the bakery and apologized for the lack of treats on the shelves as they had just gotten back from a vacation. There were plenty of treats available and we settled on two mini eclairs (one chocolate and one vanilla). They were absolutely delicious and had the perfect flavor from the rich cream to the flaky pastry. We’ll definitely be back!

I come here sometimes for the mini eclairs and perhaps an extra treat. Their selection is very interesting and I love the authentic feel. I am a die hard éclair fan and these hit the spot every time. I am severely disabled and no matter who is working they are always patient and very helpful to me. They are simply an extremely kind and caring family who makes great pastries.

World’s best eclairs – especially the normal-​sized ones, fresh out the oven.

Ohhhhhhh…the eclairs! I have been a fan of New Paris Bakery for 20 years. Last night we hosted a dinner party for 40 people, and we served mini eclairs for dessert. Now there are 40 new fans of New Paris Bakery. Everyone gushed over how wonderful they were. I was forced to surrender my secret stash of 6 by the evening’s end.

They have a limited selection, and the store is dirty. The food they do have is good though.

Passing through Brookline Village, I got a hankering for some good ol’ fashioned baked goods. Found this little gem and indulged in some eclairs.
SO GOOD!

I came here to review a chocolate cake and realize I really need to get back over there for the eclairs! The chocolate cake was right out of the oven, looked gorgeous and tasted out of this world. We all exclaimed over it — SO SO SO good.

Perfect little chocolate eclairs– my boyfriend sometimes stops by and picks up a little box of goodies, because he somehow got the idea that eclairs and tarts are breakfast food. Gotta love him, because these treats are yummy and I like being woken up with that goodie box. They have other things too but I stick to the eclairs :)

Small bakery, not the largest selection… but you get the feeling like a ‘mom and pop’ shop, where they have been doing this for years if not generations…
great spot

If you’re looking for a croissant, baguette, fruit tart, or many other French pastries and breads, it’s probably better that you look elsewhere. This place specializes in one thing: eclairs. Likely the best eclairs in town. I don’t eat eclairs often, but if I had to get some, this would be the first place in mind. They do pretty little sweets as well, but I haven’t tried them.
There are quite a few varieties of eclairs and they’re all good. The cream fillings are all rich, creamy, and smooth. The choix pastry isn’t overly sweet and definitely fresh. There’s not too much icing on top to kill everything else.
The bakery looks old school and that probably lends to the authenticity quotient.

My husband was at the dentist, so I figured this was my chance to try a new bakery (as he was getting a cavity filled, I was consuming sugar!!!).
The New Paris isn’t much to look at; in fact, it’s very, very old school (there’s one long display case with cookies — some are sold by the pound, and some are sold by quantity and another smaller display case with eclairs. There’s also a tiny fridge with some Snapple and soda).
The lovely woman working there told me that New Paris has been in this location since something like 1915 — I’m a sucker for history, and for tradition, so I loved hearing this.
I ended up buying two chocolate chip cookies (they were OK, not spectacular), and ¼ pound of small butter cookies dipped in chocolate. The butter cookies were good, though I admit I’ve been spoiled by Lyndell’s sandwich cookies, and these didn’t quite live up to Lyndell’s. The chocolate just didn’t taste as high quality, nor did the sprinkles (or jimmies, as she called them) that decorate the cookie (in fact, they tasted far waxier than I expected).
The woman working at New Paris did tell me that the house specialty is the éclair, which I admit I didn’t try — though this wasn’t my favorite bakery in town, I appreciate its charm, and its history, and if I were in the neighborhood again, I’d probably consider stopping by to try out the éclair.
