Patisserie Mayan Pastry shop and tea room in Albi opposite the cathedral

Mayan Pastry Shop: your gourmet stop and tea room opposite Albi Cathedral

In the heart of Albi's historic center, Pâtisserie Mayan invites epicureans to a timeless break. After the success of their first location in Lescure, Kevin and Laura, a duo of passionate pastry chefs with 15 years of combined expertise, have realized their dream: opening a cozy and welcoming tea room.

This place was designed as a gourmet haven where you feel " right at home," with the majestic Sainte-Cécile Cathedral, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, as its backdrop. Whether you're a lifelong resident of Albi or just visiting for the day, this address combines the excellence of artisanal pastries with the comfort of a modern coffee shop.

A sensory journey combining local flavors and artisanal know-how

The strength of Maison Mayan lies in the authenticity of its products, all 100% homemade in their workshop. To complement your pastries, Kevin and Laura have created a drinks menu that pays homage to the Occitan region. The coffee is roasted in the Tarn, the fruit juices come from local orchards, and the soft drinks arrive directly from neighboring Aveyron.

Depending on the season, the menu transforms to your delight: succumb to the creaminess of a homemade hot chocolate or a comforting hazelnut chocolate in winter, while summer gives way to the freshness of smoothies and homemade iced teas. Those with a sweet tooth will also appreciate the artisanal ice creams and sorbets, best enjoyed by the scoop on the sunny terrace.

Tea Time: The ultimate indulgence experience in Albi

Extend your visit to the tea room with our exclusive tea-time experience, available by reservation. A true signature of the establishment, this special moment includes an assortment of delicate pastries and generous cookies, served with your choice of beverage. It's the perfect opportunity to discover the technical expertise of Kevin, winner of the prestigious Louis Berger sugar art competition, and Laura, whose exacting standards guarantee bold and balanced flavors.

Beyond enjoying your treats on-site, this central location allows you to find all the shop's signature creations —macarons, travel cakes, chocolates—and to place orders for your special events. Weddings, baptisms, or birthdays: the excellence of Pâtisserie Mayan graces your table in the form of exceptional tiered cakes and wedding cakes.
