Updating review: okay I finally tried the pork sung mochi cakes and they were amazing. I’ve honestly never tasted anything as amazing. Worth the trek from river north and will be getting all my cakes from here from now on whenever I’m in Chicago“

“We’ve been buying cakes from here since 2022, and all I can say is — they’re amazing! While they’re not the cheapest, they are absolutely worth every penny. We won’t buy our cakes from any other bakery. We live about 40 minutes away, and we’re more than willing to make the drive for their delicious cakes. Their bread and display case desserts are also really good. You have to try them! Plus, the owners are incredibly kind. Hemos estado comprando pasteles aquí desde el 2022, ¡y solo puedo decir que son increíbles! Aunque no son los más baratos, valen completamente la pena. No compramos nuestros pasteles en ninguna otra pastelería. Vivimos a unos 40 minutos de distancia, y con gusto hacemos el viaje por sus deliciosos pasteles. Su pan también es muy bueno, al igual que los postres que tienen en exhibición. Tienen que probarlos. Además, los dueños son súper amables.“

“It is hard to find a cozier spot than this in Lincoln Park! We love this place from their cappuccinos to their macarons. My husband is German so he is very particular about his baked goods and he goes crazy over all things Vanille!“

“We picked up a Star Wars birthday cake for our 4 yr old son and it was absolutely incredible. We were looking for a cake without high fructose corn syrup, fake dies and a light natural tasting cake and this was it. We also ordered cup cakes to bring to our son’s school the following day. Thrilled with our cake and will come back for all future cakes. Thank you!“

“Typically we aren’t the biggest fans of chain bakeries because their food doesn’t taste too fresh or maybe just misses a bit of the TLC a local one has, this has even extended to other locations we’ve had of this exact chain. However, whatever is going on at this Paris Baguette has us rethinking that sentiment a bit. The space was clean and the workers moved quickly. There is a wide variety of things for you to get here and the self-serve process is very easy to navigate. We opened a sliding door to one of the cases and it fell off the hinge knocking a pastry off our plate so we hope they looked into and fixed that.

When we were done collecting a hedonistic amount of bites we headed over to order a coffee and sit down, all of which was speedy. Since we ordered so many pastries, we’ll give a quick breakdown of each one:

Pumpkin Scone - delicious with a firm bite, pumpkin flavor very welcoming
Pain au Chocolat - a chocolate croissant, buttery and light with some chocolate throughout (could use more chocolate)
Sugar Mochi Donut - simple but delicious, light and chewy. A very good sweet treat
Pastry Frank - a hot dog in croissant-like bread. A worse version of a kolache, the one item we would say to pass on
Grilled Cheese - delicious and well balanced, although the edges of the bread were a bit tough to work around
Hash Brown Bread with Ham & Cheese - by far the best thing we had on their menu. Savory, cheesy, and salty all in one item. We would highly recommend it to anyone
Iced Coffee - not the best, a lot of other chains do it a lot better but if you need the boost get it

Again, Paris Baguette is a chain so with that comes chain expectations, but these were some pretty good pastries, and if the food is good the food is good. If you’re looking for something quick or convenient then this is the spot for you, but if you’re looking for a more local feel in your bakery trips then look elsewhere.“
