“Writing this review because the exceptional service here completely blew me away. I’m a big fan of Paris Baguette in general, but the team working during my visit made it an absolute standout experience.
A huge thank you to Maya and Ashley for being so fantastic. They are both incredibly kind, efficient, and welcoming, making sure every customer is taken care of with a smile. On top of the stellar service, the food was flawless. The quiche is phenomenal. Perfectly flavorful, fresh, and highly recommended to anyone stopping by. Between the delicious food and the wonderful atmosphere driven by Maya and Ashley's hard work, this location has easily earned a permanent five-star rating from me.“

“The most delicious and flavorful desserts!“

“I am so glad I found this place. I needed a birthday cake last minute and I stopped here real quick on my way from work. They had a good selection of tres leches cake and flan and other sweet treats. The cake I bought was beautiful and it was delicious. Not overwhelmingly sweet, which was perfect.“

“Delicious food, great service and clean!!! Really enjoyed our pizza and pastries!“

“We chose to have Calandra's Bakery make our wedding cake, and we are so glad that we did! From the moment we came in for our cake tasting, we could tell this was not their first rodeo. They came prepared with a layout of cake options. We ended up choosing the vanilla cake with vanilla custard and fresh strawberries, and it was super delicious to eat on our wedding day. In designing the cake, there were a lot of options we could mix and match/choose from which made the process super smooth for someone who didn't know what she wanted originally. Highly recommend getting your wedding cake from Calandra's.“

“Tried the USR location this morning as it's located around the corner from my office. Front staff was friendly, attentive, and helpful with assisting me to navigate options as a first time visitor. There was no line and I quickly received my to-go order. The ham, egg, and cheese croissant was delicious- fluffy and flaky, not at all greasy, and the perfect cheese pull. Can't wait to return to try desserts and coffee!“

“I came to order a cake for my child’s birthday party. Thank you to the amazing staff at Paris Baguette Paramus! Everyone was so patient, kind, and helpful throughout the ordering process. Even when I changed my mind, you continued to assist me with a smile and helped us choose the perfect cake for our party. We truly appreciate your excellent customer service and support. Thank you!“

“I absolutely love Paris Baguette! Their cakes are incredibly delicious and perfectly balanced not too sweet, which is exactly how I like them. Every single pastry I’ve tried here has been fantastic and fresh. On top of the amazing treats, the shop itself is always very clean, bright, and welcoming. It's a wonderful spot to grab a treat!“

“Have had pints before. but the walk up window gave us great options of how to spruce up this incredible ice cream. we will be back.“

“I go to this location at Montvale, NJ regularly. I always and consistently have a great experience because of their staff. Joanna is absolutely the kindest person. She is attentive and beyond helpful! As I walk in the door she already ringing me up and preparing my order. She tells me about promos going on at the location and also suggested items to try. I will always go back if not for the great coffee but for her above and beyond service!“

“Amazing cookies and pastries... delicious cakes but for some reason the 3 cupcakes I purchased today did not taste as fresh as they normally do... not sure why, it was unusual but I forgive them!
You really can't go wrong here, yes they are more expensive than the other guys but you cannot beat the quality.“

“Best bakery in the area, the cakes are all delicious; I’d definitely recommend the Raspberry and the Red Velvet!! Every time going in, the girls are very friendly and make the place feel very welcoming, especially the one super bubbly one, I think her name is Liz. Overall, whenever I need a cake for a birthday, or I’m just craving a slice, this is definitely my go-to place!“

“great quality delicious ice cream friendly staff! definitely worth trying!“

“You’ve never tasted cakes like this before in your life. Absolutely the ultimate. I had people at my party that never eat cake tell me that they had four pieces and they wanted more. Super fresh… Super unbelievable… Completely outstanding.“

“Appreciation post😃 Since 4 days my freshly turned teenage daughter has been saying one thing when I ask her what you want to do on New Year’s Eve …” I want to have kudos bubble tea as the last thing I drink in 2022”. It’s been a tough few months for her and i wanted to make sure she gets her wish. So yesterday morning I called kudos. Asked when they will close for the day. They said 10pm. We scheduled all our plans in such a way that at 9pm we go and get the much anticipated bubble tea. At 9 my husband, son and daughter headed out to kudos… only to find that they have closed at 7 for a private event. This is my back story. On the other side of the story… which probably has its own back story… Cherie the owner had shut the bakery as her daughter wanted to celebrate with her friends and family. As a mother myself I can totally understand that. When she saw my family she informed them that they are closed. But when she heard we had called in morning and saw my daughters dejected face… she opened her doors. Made a quick bubble tea and even gave some extra cookies as a New Years treat. My kids came back so happy saying “mommy it was a holiday miracle!” Thank you Kudo Society Cafe. For providing us one last 2022 miracle. Thank you Cherie for understanding. We have been Kudos patrons since it was at palisades park but now we are die hard advocating neighbors of yours. Ps: pic of the cookie treat. My son ate the red velvet on way home.“

“Excellent food as always. Sangria is one of our favorites. Love the homemade meatballs. Also one of our favorites. Afterwards, we ALWAYS visit the bakery for amazing pastries. Always look forward to visiting our favorite place. Glad it's so close to home!!!!!!“

“Love getting my coffee here every morning. The place is open very early for a local shop and the workers are very friendly. You can also grab some delicious pastries if you are feeling them. Overall great cafe and good vibes. Highly recommend this spot !“

“Really loved this place! The croissant was perfectly flaky and buttery, the tiramisu was delicious, and the cappuccino was the perfect pairing. Everything tasted fresh, the service was friendly, and the bakery was clean and welcoming. Keep up the great work! I can't wait to come back and try the rest of the pastries.“

“I’ve been to various Paris Baguette locations around Central Jersey, and honestly, I wasn’t a huge fan… until recently. Let me explain.

At one location I frequented, the coffee had really disappointed me. Once upon a time, their coffee was delicious, with rich, chocolatey notes, but the last few visits left me with bitter, almost burnt-tasting drinks, and no amount of milk could fix it. This was surprising, since they supposedly use LavAzza beans. I also never loved their cakes; I often found them too heavy on icing and light on actual cake.

However, on a recent trip while shopping at 99 Ranch Market (which is conveniently right next door), we decided to give Paris Baguette another try and treat ourselves to pastries. I was immediately impressed by their selection and how frequently the display was refilled. Every item was behind a glass case, which felt very clean and hygienic.
The staff at the counter were friendly and helpful. They asked if we had a rewards account, and it turned out none of us had signed up, or our accounts had expired.

The cashiers were great at making the hot beverages, and they asked if we had a rewards program with them. We gave them our phone numbers, and it turned out none of us had signed up or that they expired.

Here's what we purchased:
- Cafe Mocha - 5/5 stars. Perfect balance of espresso and chocolate. The barista even made a heart on top. Although the lid covered it, the gesture was appreciated.
- Cold Brew - 5/5 stars. Smooth and refreshing.
- Chausson aux Pommes - 4/5 stars. A French apple turnover with a perfectly crisp crust and tender, flavorful apples that weren’t mushy.
- Croissant Donut - 5/5 stars. Flaky, buttery croissant-like in shape of a donut, filled with custard that was bright due to the citrus, and well-balanced between sweet and savory.
- Blueberry & Cream Brioche - 5/5 stars. Their crust was crispy and light. It was an indulgent treat that was well balanced as the custard was rich, soft, and just sweet enough without being heavy.

Patrons can help themselves to cream, milk, utensils, and napkins, which is convenient. The seating is roomy and relaxing, perfect for lingering over coffee and pastries.

It’s located in the Home Depot strip mall. Parking is usually easy on weekdays, but weekends can get a little hectic.

Overall, this visit completely changed my opinion of Paris Baguette. The coffee and pastries were impeccable, and the environment made for a pleasant, stress-free experience. Definitely worth a stop if you’re nearby.“
