Paris Baguette has always been one of my favorite bakery chains. They never disappoint. It had been a long time since my last visit, but honestly, the quality is always consistent. For a chain, they do an excellent job in maintaining the standard of their breads and pastries. I’ve tried quite a few baked goods over the years, and I can’t remember ever getting something bad here.

This visit, I picked up a few things and everything was delicious:
Crab Meat Croquette: This is a savory item, so definitely ask the staff to warm it up for you because the bread tastes so much better hot. Super flavorful
The Strawberry Lemon Cream Croissant: My favorite. Their croissants are always buttery and flaky, and the lemon cream also delicious without being oversweet
Boston Cream Croissant Muffin: Really nice cream filling that wasn’t overly sweet at all. Korean bakeries really know how to balance sweetness perfectly.

I also got an iced americano to balance things out, and the whole meal was very filling and affordable, less than $20. Great value honestly.

I was excited to try the new Paris Baguette that just opened in my area, but unfortunately, my experience was disappointing.

I ordered a chocolate croissant, and it smelled strongly like egg. The inside barely had any chocolate cream, which was very disappointing, especially compared to what I had before in other locations. It just didn’t taste fresh or well-made.

They were also very stingy with the packaging and boxing of my order, which made everything feel rushed and careless. Presentation and proper packaging matter, especially for a bakery.

Overall, this visit didn’t meet my expectations. If they don’t improve their quality and service, I won’t be coming back
