Where to order madeleines for a business meeting in Paris?

L'Écrin Traiteur delivers madeleines for your business meetings in Paris in boxes of 10, 20 or 50, from €24.90 to €119 excl. VAT, from 6:30 am and until 2 pm the day before for the next day. They are madeleines from Mado Paris, our partner since we started. Here are the formats, the quantities and the budget with coffee.

The boxes and their price

Box	For how many people	Price excl. VAT	Price per madeleine
10 madeleines	4 to 6 people	€24.90	€2.49
20 madeleines	8 to 12 people	€49	€2.45
50 madeleines	25 to 30 people	€119	€2.38

Soft, baked on the day, plain or flavoured: the madeleines arrive in a box, ready to put on the meeting table. The details are on the afternoon breaks page.

How many madeleines per person?

• Meeting break: about two per person, hence the ranges in the table.
• Breakfast: one madeleine per person alongside the pastries, which is the rule in our quotes.
• Team afternoon break: two per person, with fruit skewers above 15 people.

The minimum order and coffee

The minimum order is €50 excl. VAT of food. The box of 50 reaches it on its own; the boxes of 10 and 20 are topped up with a thermos of coffee (€19.50 excl. VAT per litre, 6 cups) or Alain Milliat juice (€9.50 excl. VAT per litre, 5 glasses). Two examples:

Meeting	Order	Total excl. VAT, delivery included
10 people	1 box of 20 madeleines, 2 thermoses of coffee, delivery €29	€117
30 people	1 box of 50 madeleines, 5 thermoses of coffee, delivery €29	€245.50

For which meetings?

A madeleine is eaten in two bites, with no plate or cutlery, and leaves no crumbs on the files: it is the meeting pastry par excellence. It goes with:

• an early afternoon meeting, with a thermos of coffee;
• a committee or workshop that runs on, for the 4 pm break;
• a welcome for visitors or candidates, set next to the coffee;
• a breakfast, alongside the pastries.

For a 9 am meeting, have it delivered around 8:30 am; for an afternoon break, at break time. A closed box keeps without any problem for half a day on the table: what is not eaten at the morning meeting serves for the afternoon break.

Plain or flavoured?

For a group you do not know well, the plain madeleine pleases everyone. Flavoured versions go down well with a team used to breaks, or when the madeleines are the only sweet item at the meeting. Each season, limited editions join the range: the afternoon breaks page shows the current ones. For a more varied break, pair them with cookies, a sliced cake or fresh fruit skewers, on the same order.

How to choose where to order your madeleines

• Delivery or collection. A local pâtisserie means someone has to stop by before the meeting; a caterer delivers at the requested time. L'Écrin delivers from 6:30 am, with its own team.
• Freshness: ask whether the madeleines are baked on the day of delivery.
• The format: a closed box goes on the table as it is and keeps for the afternoon.
• The rest of the break: coffee, tea and juice on the same order avoid a second supplier.
• The invoice: quote within 24 hours, company invoice showing VAT, useful for an expense claim or a purchase order.
