Maison Kayser has brought its familiar French bakery format to central Cannes. The shop is also commonly called Eric Kayser Cannes. It sits opposite the train station, making it convenient for breakfast, coffee, lunch or food before a journey.
We visited the Cannes bakery to see the setting, selection and displayed prices. The range covers bread, viennoiseries, pastries, cakes, breakfast plates, sandwiches, salads, pizzas and savoury bakes. There is also a coffee counter and a small outdoor terrace.

Location and First Impressions
The bakery is directly across from Cannes station. This is one of its strongest advantages. It suits commuters, travellers and anyone exploring the town centre on foot.
The white Maison Kayser frontage is easy to spot. A menu board stands near the entrance, while pink tables and chairs form the pavement terrace. Inside, the design is bright and modern. Black pendant lights hang above long glass counters filled with both sweet and savoury choices.
The space feels designed for speed. Customers can view most of the range before reaching the till. Seating is limited compared with a full cafe, but the terrace provides a place to stop.
Menu and Selection
Bakery, Pastries and Cakes
Maison Kayser began in Paris in 1996 and built its identity around bread and natural liquid sourdough. The Cannes branch expands that bakery focus with a large pastry and cake counter.
During our visit, the display included croissants, filled pastries, meringues, macarons, loaf cakes and individual desserts. Larger fruit tarts and celebration style cakes were also available. The presentation is polished, with clear sections for different products.
The wide choice is useful when a group wants different things. One person can choose a simple viennoiserie, while another can pick a more elaborate pastry or cake.
Breakfast Menu and Prices
The photographed menu offered more than coffee and croissants. Plain omelettes were listed at €8.50. Options with one or two ingredients were €9.50 and €10.50. A complete omelette was €11.50.
Fried eggs were shown at €7.50, while scrambled eggs were €8.50. The avocado toast was €13.50. Sweet and savoury French toast choices ranged from €9 to €14.50 on the visit menu.
Breakfast formulas were also displayed above the coffee counter. These combined a drink with selected food items. The exact components should be checked in store because bakery menus can change.
Coffee and Drinks
The coffee counter serves espresso, noisette, double espresso, grand crème, cappuccino and tea. Matcha and chai were also shown on the menu. This gives the branch a broader drinks range than a basic bakery.
Bottled orange juice filled part of the chilled display. Cold drinks and water were stored behind the counter. The setup works well for takeaway because food and drinks can be collected from the same area.
Sandwiches and Savoury Food
The savoury range is extensive. Display cases held filled baguettes, round sandwiches, focaccia style sandwiches, salads, pizzas, quiches and savoury pastries.
Pissaladière was marked at €3.80 during our visit. Several sandwich labels sat around the mid single digits, while a displayed pizza was €12. Lunch formulas were advertised at €12.90 and €14.90.
This makes Maison Kayser more than a breakfast stop. It can also work for a quick lunch or food to take onto a train. However, the size of the range means availability may change through the day.

Atmosphere and Practicality
The interior is attractive but functional. Most attention goes to the displays rather than a large seating area. This fits the station location and the focus on quick purchases.
The terrace is the better choice if you want to sit with coffee and breakfast. It faces a busy central area, so expect an urban setting rather than a quiet garden cafe.
Early opening is another benefit. The bakery opens at 6:00 am every day according to its official listing. That makes it useful before an early train or morning appointment.
Prices and Value
Prices sit above the level of a simple neighbourhood bakery, especially for complete breakfast plates and larger meals. The central location, broad range and extended service explain part of that premium.
Value is strongest for convenience and choice. You can buy bread, pastries, coffee and lunch from one counter. Travellers may also value the location directly opposite the station.
Visitors focused only on artisan bread may prefer comparing smaller local bakeries. Maison Kayser is most useful when selection, early opening and easy access matter.
