The people here really nice; however, we were not impressed with their bakery. It's clear that most is not made in house and probably comes frozen. While I am no connoisseur, I have been to many bakeries, and this doesn't hold up. I wish them the best but its not for us.

I started off by ordering on the pay and go tablet (not speaking to any employees) which doesn’t show any images of the food you are ordering and doesn’t give you hardly any add on/customization to your food, at the checkout screen it forces you into a 15%-25% tip where you have to click custom and put in $0 if you aren’t going to tip (since I was not dealing with any employees and not getting any service I am not going to tip on the tablet). After I ordered I looked for somewhere to sit and wait which there is hardly any seating which most of it is very uncomfortable chairs that they went with looks over functionality on. Tablet asked for my name and gave me an order number so I assumed that’s what they would call when my food was ready but instead they just called out what food I had ordered. When I received my food, the drink was wrong and they gave me a hot instead of iced coffee (which when I brought this up the employee was very respectful and made me an iced one instead) but when I received the ice coffee it was not stirred at all and the syrup was just sitting at the bottom of the drink, tasting the drink before and after stirring it was not very good for how simple a latte is. Sandwich was alright but without seeing what I was ordering I just blindly picked something that sounded good and was disappointed when I received it (which I understand is also my fault) Overall didn’t enjoy the food, drinks, tablet ordering and the atmosphere in the place, employee behind the counter was nice though. (Also I payed $19.44 for a small coffee and one sandwich without tip) Edit: Iced Coffee lid doesn’t properly seal and would leak coffee out as you drinking it so grab a straw and ordering take out they did not provide me with any napkins for my food.

This is great! I got a banh mi, apple tart, fruit tart, and a bunch of other stuff for my wife and I to enjoy. The place has a nice interior, lots of parking, people were nice, and the food was pretty good!
The only thing I'll dock them for is that I ordered a mushroom cheddar croissant and got a quiche instead. I like quiches lol but not quite what I wanted.

I rate this cafe 5/5. Opening late August last year just about two miles from my residence, I’ve been going roughly every to every other week since. Even this morning, I went in 15 minutes after they opened and it was great.
The store. The store is clean, homely, smells wonderful, fitted with open space and a beautiful dine-in area next to the windows. Most all of the items are in a large glass display case at the front, alongside their name and price. While waiting off to the side for your order to finish being prepared, lemon water is available next to utensils, and you might see the wonderfully talented pastry chefs/bakers in the back for a second or two doing their work. All around a very pleasant experience.
The staff. The staff here at Cafe de Paris are knowledgeable about each option on the menu and can generally explain each one in my experience. They’re friendly, welcoming, and very good at their jobs. The pastry chefs/bakers make bread daily, alongside what I’m sure is a variety of other pastries and menu items, and the workers who make drinks or operate the register are always wonderful to interact with. Generally great service in my opinion, coming from working in the customer service industry for four years at present.
The products. To clarify, I haven’t had the more “food-like” items on the menu (such as sandwiches, quiches, etc.), but I’ve ordered a variety of drinks, pastry items, and bread. Today, I’ve got a Vietnamese coffee, a Thai coffee, a French baguette, and a strawberry fruit croissant (shown in picture). The croissants are always incredible: very soft, airy, and they taste wonderful in any flavor (like their Chocolate, Cherry, or Nutella croissants, among others). The baguettes come with a firm, crunchy outside and soft middle, perfect for homemade sandwiches or additions to quite literally any meal (or just eat them whole like I do). The fruit used in the pastries is fresh and the fillings used are thick with a beautiful taste (like mango or strawberry). They have something for everyone, from chocolatey items to fruity items to a nice old cream puff.
I hardly do reviews but this place is worth the time, worth the effort, and worth my money. They do a wonderful job every time I’m there, and I feel the need to congratulate the people who work there. Many thanks to the workers for your service and hard work!

If I could give them a gazillion stars I would. Their sandwiches are really good and so filling. But the passion fruit mousse cake?! OH.MY.GAWD It's so good. Every bite was perfect and that first bite was very satisfying. I could not recommend this place enough, it's delicious, and such beautiful desserts.

Great selection on bakery products. One of my favorite bakeries in AV. Great
Love finally having a pastry place that is decent around here. I haven’t inquired about ingredients but it’s tasting as if we’re using all butter but I’m not sure. The quality is excellent and I enjoy getting day old items too for much cheaper in bulk. The only thing that could be better is if they had a few more gluten-free options, for my gluten-free friends.
