We recently ordered large quantities of ciabatta bread. The bread was so fresh and tasty. They pre-sliced the bread too.

I’ve been to Paris Baguette at other locations before and always had a good experience. But this visit felt a bit off — maybe it was just an off day. The ambience and cleanliness at this location didn’t quite meet the usual standard I’m used to. Hopefully, it was just a one-time thing.

Terrible service. Zero customer focus.
The pastries are delicious. But I don't recommend taking round croissants - they're chemical.

Staff is not friendly and seems very grumpy for no reason.

A Disappointing Experience at Paris Baguette,
Paris Baguette offers a mixed experience that unfortunately leans towards the negative. While the establishment has a generally appealing aesthetic, this impression quickly fades due to several significant drawbacks, including the unsettling presence of gnats in the pastry cases.
The food, in itself, is decent. Their pastries and baked goods often hit the mark, providing a satisfying treat. However, the enjoyment of these items is severely hampered by not only the poor beverage service but also the concerning hygiene issue of gnats buzzing around inside the pastry displays. This is a major turn-off and raises serious questions about food safety.
Beyond the unappetizing sight of insects, the beverage service is also problematic. A recurring issue is the excessive amount of ice used in drinks, which significantly reduces the actual liquid content. This is compounded by their strict no-refill policy, an uncommon and frankly stingy practice for a casual eatery, especially given the price point.
Furthermore, the customer service can be inconsistent, sometimes bordering on indifferent. While not overtly rude, the staff often lacks the warmth and attentiveness that elevates a dining experience, making interactions feel transactional rather than welcoming.
In conclusion, Paris Baguette's potential, primarily due to its acceptable food quality, is overshadowed by significant issues. The presence of gnats in the pastry cases is particularly alarming and, combined with the poor drink service and inconsistent customer interactions, makes it difficult to recommend. Until they address these critical concerns, it remains a place to avoid.

I ordered Pistachio Cold brew, it wasn’t good at all. Useless and tasteless dink. Don’t fall for it.

I have been to this location a few times in the last few months. While I enjoy Paris Baguette, this location is always unclean. The checkout counter and condiments counter are always filthy with drink stains and food crumbs. It takes less than 30 seconds to wipe a counter. The glass around the baked goods is cloudy with rag streaks. Staff stack cups on top of each other when bringing them to the counter for customers, which is gross. Bathrooms are always dirty. Unsanitary and poorly managed. The fact that the workers are ok working around filth speaks to their own personal standards. You should hire new people or raise the standard.

It’s always understaffed in the front even during busy times. The owners should have more people working on drinks.

I absolutely love this bakery! Their coffee is consistently smooth and rich, and the pastries are always fresh, with a perfect balance of flavor and texture. Whether you’re craving something sweet or savory, they have a fantastic variety to choose from. The cozy atmosphere and friendly staff make it the ideal spot for a quick morning stop or a relaxed afternoon break. I can’t get enough of this place!❤️

While i love their selection they are severely understaffed. Prepare to wait at least 20 minutes in the check out line if you go in the morning

Baguette is in their name “Paris Baguette” but this store literally runs out of baguettes—all the time! There are already so few items for people with dairy allergy to select from and they run out of basic bread still. Something seems wrong with their logistics. Have to say the baguettes are delicious though.

Vegetarian options: Next to no vegetarian option for people with dairy allergy. There are two types of vegan muffin and the baguettes they always run out. That’s about it.

This place is so beautiful and packed for a good delicious reason. It’s worth spending your time standing there in that long fast line
