Maison Kayser España

What Maison Kayser España does

Maison Kayser España, legally ERIC KAYSER ESPAÑA S.L, is the Spanish operating entity of the global French artisanal bakery brand founded by Éric Kayser in Paris in 1996. The Spanish entity was incorporated in 2018 and operates a single-market retail footprint of 10 physical bakery locations concentrated in premium Madrid neighborhoods (Velázquez, Puerta de Alcalá, Fernando VI, Zurbano, Bernabéu, Retiro, Quevedo, Princesa, Picasso, Jorge Juan). The core production model is artisanal: breads and Viennoiseries are produced in-store using natural liquid yeast maintained by the proprietary Fermentolevain machine (created 1994), and Viennoiseries follow a handcrafted 3-day butter-based process with live bakers present at each location. Bakers complete a mandatory one-year training program under the founder's codified techniques.

The company serves two principal customer segments: individual consumers purchasing daily bread, pastries, and Viennoiseries through retail, and corporate clients procuring catering for breakfasts, meetings, and events. Distribution combines direct retail, a proprietary e-commerce platform on maison-kayser.es offering delivery and pickup, three third-party delivery aggregators (UberEats, JustEat, Glovo), and a direct B2B catering channel with a dedicated contact ([email protected]). Pricing is per-unit for retail trays (€13.90–€69.50) and per-person for coffee-break packages (€6.30–€18.85), with a 3–12 hour delivery window for catering orders.

The company holds the registered MAISON KAYSER® trademark and the Fermentolevain invention; it operates without disclosed external funding and is privately held. Revenue, headcount, and customer concentration are not publicly disclosed.

Scale indicators4 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Emerging players

• Levain Boulangerie: An artisan bakery specializing in natural sourdough fermentation. Comparable as a craft bakery emphasizing natural leavening processes and quality ingredients, though smaller in scale than Maison Kayser España.

Direct peers

• Délifrance: Délifrance is a French bakery-café chain with Viennoiserie and bread offerings, present in multiple countries including Spain. It competes in the French-style bakery segment with similar product categories (croissants, breads, sandwiches) and café+bakery format.
• Panaria: Panaria is a Spanish artisanal bakery chain with presence in Madrid offering premium breads, pastries, and catering. It directly competes with Maison Kayser in the same Madrid neighborhoods with similar product positioning.
• Paul (Paul Bakery): Paul is a French artisan bakery and patisserie chain with international presence in Spain, including Madrid locations. It directly competes with Maison Kayser in the French artisanal bread, Viennoiserie, and catering segments with similar positioning and product mix.
• Ladurée: Ladurée is a French luxury patisserie brand with locations in Madrid, offering macarons, pastries, and Viennoiseries. It competes in the premium French pastry category and operates similar retail-and-catering distribution channels.

Broad incumbents

• Brioche Pasquier: Brioche Pasquier is a major French industrial bakery manufacturer producing Viennoiseries and pastries. While primarily a B2B/manufacturer rather than retail, it represents the broader French bakery industry that competes with Maison Kayser's artisan positioning on price.
• La Mallorquina: La Mallorquina is a historic Spanish pastry and bakery institution in Madrid (Puerta del Sol) with a long-established retail and catering business. Comparable as a Madrid-based specialty bakery with similar product categories and corporate gifting focus.
• Starbucks Reserve (Spain): Starbucks Reserve locations in Madrid offer premium coffee with food/pastry pairings, competing for similar customer occasions (premium café-bakery consumption) but with broader beverage-led positioning versus Maison Kayser's bakery-led model.
• Grupo Rodilla: Rodilla is a Spanish bakery-café chain offering sandwiches, breads, and pastries across multiple Spanish cities. It serves a similar Madrid market with broader geographic coverage but less premium/artisanal positioning than Maison Kayser.

Regional players

• Maison Fossé: An artisan French-style bakery operation in Spain serving similar French-inspired breads and pastries. Comparable as a Spanish-market French-style bakery, though more localized in footprint.
