“One may not think a takeout dimsum restaurant in a plaza next to Safeway in Brentwood is worth raving about, but boy are they wrong! This place deserves ALL the praise. The prices are affordable, dimsum items are huge, and the quality is no different if not better than some of the dimsum restaurants I've been to. I don't think there's anything on their menu I have not thoroughly enjoyed. Some honorable mentions include their lava buns, siumai, lotus wrapped sticky rice, shrimp dumplings, pineapple buns, pork buns, and don't sleep in their fragrant chili oil. I always forget to take pictures before I finish the food but look at the size of their chicken XXL bun. This thing is the size of my whole hand! Phone for scale. We don't live close to Brentwood but we find reasons to go out there to visit Dimsum Basket 🥰“

“We have used Green Flour bakery, many many times and we are never disappointed, each time just seems to outdo last time we ordered with Green Flour bakery. Exceptional craftsmanship the cakes are always moist, Tasty and designs are always amazing top-notch! We can’t wait to use green flower bakery again. The customer service is exceptional. You feel like they actually care about you as a customer and your needs and wants.“

“I had to go out of my way to say WOW, that was the best granola I have ever had in my life. I love the cocoa and peanut butter and appreciate that it is not too sweet and feels super healthy. I hope to be back next time!“

“The Senorita bread was really good warm, but after it cooled down, it was just ok. The Bavarian cream pastry was awful and the cream tasted fake, like really fake ?The raspberry pastry was better. However the sugar on the outside gets everywhere and imho it's unnecessary.“

“They get 5 stars for being inconsiderate and unempathetic business owners. Their pastries are overly sweet, lack flavor, and are overloaded with sugar. I used to visit with my husband, eager to support the new Paris Baguette in Brentwood, hoping for the same great service as their San Jose location. However, the pastries here look stale, and the service is terrible. I don't blame the employees; it's clearly a management issue.

The safety standards are also poor—I injured my finger and ruined my nail due to a lack of safety locks on their drawers(posted video on yelp - https://yelp.to/dVMYOEhcQ9). I’m so sad to find out that my nails are forever ruined. My husband tried to reach out to management but was completely ignored (I attached his review; this is how they treat their customers—no response, not even an apology!). Horrible food, terrible service, and unsafe conditions! I do not recommend this location to anyone, especially considering their unsafe and unhealthy practices.

I recently discovered another place called Dore’s Cafe if you are looking for high-quality pastries. Their strawberry cream cake and Napoleon pastries are a thousand times better than those here, with just the right amount of sweetness. I'm still exploring more of their offerings, but they are already proving to be a much better choice.

Vegetarian options: Do not recommend

Kid-friendliness: This place has some serious safety concerns. Be extra careful when opening the pastry doors as it smashed my finger really badly, and the owners were completely indifferent when I brought this up. No apology! I wouldn't recommend this location due to safety hazards and irresponsible franchise owners/management. Plus, the pastries taste old and bland compared to other locations. If you want to try Paris Baguette, go to Dublin or Concord. The ambiance, food, service, and selection are far better.

For a great local alternative, try Dore's Cafe. Their pastries are superior with less sweetness. I posted video on my other yelp review of those drawers - https://yelp.to/dVMYOEhcQ9 So if an adult can get hurt by those, definitely not suitable for kids.“

“Great customer service Order 2 cakes this week both amazing and complements from all our guest. Thank you to the team at Mike Pastry Shop.“

“Delicious French bakery!! Croissants, chocolate croissants, almond croissants, and, OMG, the Kouign-Amann!! Light pastries, yet buttery, flaky to perfection.“

“Only tried the torta so idk how good anything else is but it was very good. Gave them a 4 stars because one time I ordered over phone and told me 10 minutes then 10 minutes later I arrive to store n they havent even started making it and didn’t even know I ordered but at the end they made it in 5 minutes“

“Friendly staff,Not to mention this place has the most heavily delicious bundt cakes. my weakness are these moist & always made fresh bundts.“

“She does a wonderful selection of cookies. I haven’t had a flavor that I haven’t liked. The molasses crinkle are to die for. Each cookie is individually packaged and she boxes large orders. Easy ordering and pick up. Beth is delightful.“

“I'm a sourdough bread lover. I bought my first loaf yesterday, I am hooked! This has got to be the best sourdough bread ever, a little pricey but worth every penny. You'll be hooked after I slice ❤❤❤“

“finally stopped in for the first time, now driving me nuts that I haven't before. I grabbed a few chicken dinners with veggies, some whipped topping and two personal pies. the chicken falls right off the bone, it's moist and full of flavor. there were fresh green beans, potatoes and squash with it. Delicious! My husband ate his apple pie without utensils. he said it was amazing. the pecan pie with a bite of the whipped topping was phenomenal, although neither needed the other to be amazing. so many wonderful things to get there in the shop. staff is so wonderfully kind. the store is clean and well organized. Exactly the place you want to go to. I will return, many times.“

“So every Panera is kinda the same. Food hits it out of the park.The one here in Brentwood is getting a little worn down. The boothes all have holes or patches. Dirty floors.Weird thing is that the place was packed and every time I've gone has been packed. So you'd think they would invest in making it look good too.“
