Aux Délices de Maxime

What Aux Délices de Maxime does

Aux Délices de Maxime is a kosher-certified pâtisserie-traiteur (pastry and catering) business operating under the legal entity 'Maxime', a sole proprietorship registered in Paris 19e (SIRET 400 573 648 00031). The company serves the local Jewish community and broader Paris clientele with two integrated lines: (1) an e-commerce-enabled retail catalog covering pastries, viennoiseries, cakes and tarts, ready-to-eat savory and sweet platters, and unfilled pastry bases for self-garnishing; and (2) a bespoke catering service for lifecycle and corporate events including Brit Mila, Bar Mitsva, Kiddouch, weddings, birthdays, brunches, cocktail receptions, and memorial events. Dairy (Halavi) catering is delivered through the affiliated Chez Akol department.

The business operates three retail boutiques concentrated in Paris 19th arrondissement (Rue de Crimée, Rue Petit, and Rue d'Hautpoul), supported by a WooCommerce-powered online storefront with Stripe payment processing, WordPress and Elementor for content management, and Wordfence for security. Online orders follow 24- or 48-hour advance windows, with click-and-collect available at any boutique and courier delivery within Paris and first-ring suburbs. Catering inquiries are handled via a website contact form and priced through bespoke quotes.

The revenue model combines unit-priced retail transactions (individual pastries from ~€0.70 to number cakes up to €200) with professional-services catering fees for events. Customer segments include Jewish families and individuals as the primary persona, individual consumers transacting online, and corporate or private event organizers. The company has no disclosed investors, subsidiaries, parent entity, or M&A activity, indicating a founder-owned, community-rooted independent operator with a stated headcount of approximately five employees.
