Paris Baguette

The pastry selection is excellent and the service is fine. But the coffee they are serving is like plain hot water stained with very little coffee flavor. I even tried their Americano but it is the most waterly taste I ever experienced. Tip. Don’t even expect to grab a chair in the mid afternoon because this place is so crowded. They must love this type of waterly coffee.

This place is amazing! I highly recommend it. After a terrible dinner this place brought it home.

I like Paris baguette pastries because they are predictable. They may not be the best pastries you’ve ever eaten in your life but they are good quality and so pretty. Do the croissants melt in your mouth? No but how often do you honestly encounter that in life? Are their croissants buttery, flaky and delicious? Yes.
Definitely my top choice for cakes as well. The cakes here are gorgeous, well priced and not overly sweet. I stop by here to get treats for my family whenever I’m in town!

I love Paris Baguette but I had a somewhat disappointing experience today. I tried using the Unilocal check in offer for the free croissant but the person at the register told me they discontinued it. Ok, fair enough. I had already gotten my croissant though, so I asked what to do with it and he said he’ll just put it back. (!?) He then just moved on to a different customer. After getting someone’s attention again, I ordered a chai latte. Then that employee almost charged me for the croissant that the other guy had claimed they were going to put back, so I had to tell him to take it off my bill. :(I understand that they were probably flustered by the situation and were trying to assist the other customers, but I hope they can improve their customer service and problem solving skills when situations like this occur.

I tried the fruit tart, sweet potatoe bread that’s prewrapped, and chocolate pastry that resembles a Boston cream pie donut. Everything was delish. I didn’t care for peach sangria was a bit too sweet for me. Love the cute French uniforms feels like shopping in a French bakery though seems to have an Asian flair in the sense that pastries are not too sweet which I appreciate. I didn’t get to try the coffee but I will next time I’m in. Located within a shopping center similar to an indoor swapmeet.

I love you, Paris Baguette. You understand the simplicity of fresh French pastry with all the twinkle and cuteness of asian decadence. Wanted to try the azuki bean holiday latte but it was sold out for the night. Appreciated the surprise upgrade on my hot Matcha latte :) thanks! You made our evening Christmas light stroll all the more cheerful.

The coffee is so hot I had to spit it out instantly. A day later and my tongue is still numb.

Always young smiles
Very helpful
Wish it’s within walking distance from my home so my husband will get out of house.
I wouldn’t mind making this stop on my morning excursions.
Wish my mother may do that with me when she can still fly out of Taiwan.

Bring me a box full of Paris Baguette goodies and you’re automatically my best friend for life…
Their concept is fairly similar to most bakeries… You go inside, grab a tray/​tong, and GO BUCK WILD! Yahoooo~ PB offers fresh sandwiches, Korean savory/​sweet baked goods, and desserts like whole/​slices of cake, macarons, and tarts!
Here are some items that make me want to dance all night long:
1.) Egg+ham salad sandwich: WHEN DID EGG SALAD BECOME SO BOMB… MY FAVORITE x92797… I literally get this every Sunday morning. It comes with their fresh multigrain bread, tomato, lettuce, ham, and egg mixed in mayo. So simple yet so good T_​_​_​T
2.) Chicken salad sandwich: 2^nd favorite… It comes with cucumber, lettuce, and the chicken salad is mixed with raisins and nuts. It is the perfect sweet, crunchy, and savory combination!
3.) Any sweet potato baked goods: I just really love sweet potatoes!!! The OG baked bread is the best but my mama loves the twisted donut lookin’ one!
4.) Any sausage bread: You just can’t go wrong with sausage and bread… They have cheesy franks, croissant franks, and curry flavored too!
5.) Blueberry chiffon cake: Seriously, so moist like a baby’s behind… I can eat a whole cake if I could.
Not to mention, their hot hazelnut dripped coffee pairs beautifully with each item I’ve listed above… AND free re-​fills!!!
Also, one thing I love about this location is how spacious it is! I believe it got remodeled a couple years ago and now it’s filled with big tables and they also offer free wifi as well! However, I think they shut off the wifi at night time… WOMP. But, you have to come at the right time because during the noon time, this place is bombarded with unemployed Korean ladies and their friends… (aka they talk bleeping loud HAHA) So, come early morning or night time if you want to get some work done!
Overall, I love Paris Baguette and their worker’s cute stripe shirts. Maybe I’ll wear a stripe shirt next time and hopefully scoop up some free bread ;)

Please people, do not eat their cheesecake! It’s disgusting. .takes NOTHING like the cheesecake! It had a horrible custard taste. They put gelatin on top also. They have no idea what a cheesecake should taste like! …wanted to eat it for my birthday. served it at home. nobody in the house wanted to eat it. Brought it back to the store thinking they might exchange it… but their HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE didn’t let them return it! Paid 33 bucks that literally tasted like crap! One slice was missing that went in the trash! Just left the cake there so they could enjoy their Korean baking supposed they say it’s PARIS BAGUETTE. .false advertising. .she said they make only Korean taste recipes! What a shame! For that customer service. I will no longer be coming back! So much for being their customer of 10 years! Shame on you!!!

So being a big fan of 85 degrees across the street, I decided to go check out the competition here at PB. they have cases of baked goods that differ from 85, creating some new options (especially savory ones) and some awesome sandwich options. I got a ham and cheese croissant which I heated up at my home and it was delicious aa well as the kona coffee frappé. This place is definitely worth trying !

I love dessert. I live for dessert. So naturally, I find myself at lots of bakeries and dessert bars. Paris baguette is definitely on my radar but I don’t really like to spend too much time here, I just like to do a quick grab and go. The reason for that is they usually run out of whatever I’m in the mood for. So whenever I do decide to stop here I do a quick look over, without anything in mind (because they won’t have it) and just choose from whatever is available. It’s enough to satisfy my sweet tooth. This place isn’t the worst but there are so many better options in this area.

I come here to get pastries for my family all the time and must’ve gotten over 10 cakes from this location alone. The baked goods here are great. Soft, fresh, and smells so yummy! They’ve recently remodeled this place — to be more like a sit down café. I actually preferred the look of the old design, but oh well.
This is where my love for bingsoo bloomed. I will forever remember the first spoonful of the earl grey bingsoo I had here. Super melty milk shaved ice topped with honey, sliced almonds, and 2 pirouette cookies. I’ve since gone back to this location, various k-​town locations and none of them will serve the bingsoos– their go-​to response is they ran out of ice! I mean, really? It still remains a mystery to me. If anyone knows why let me know.
Yes, it’s on the pricier side, but it’s tasty, so it’s all good.

I love their pastries! I Always try something new. Although they do run out quickly and don’t make more.

I must say, I can’t get enough of Paris Baguette! I do enjoy a lot of their pastries and the fact that they have more than just «fresh bread.» They have the warm, doughy breads, fruit-​filled and meat-​filled pastries, chilled fruity tarts, cakes, macarons, packaged breads and royal puddings! I feel that they have more choices as opposed to 85 Degrees (although I enjoy there too).
Staff: The staff here is extremely friendly and hospitable! I don’t remember any of their names but they were all very helpful and polite. They offer to warm up your breads and they like to give recommendations! One time, while my mom, uncle and I were sitting at one of the tables, the guy brought our warmed up bread to us! Such a great experience! I also appreciate the fact that one of the employees talked to me about their new «rewards card.» I like when employees offer things like that (like stamp cards) as opposed to the establishments where you have to ask for them.
Ambiance: This location looks much better than before. It used to be one open space where everything was close together, which I mean the seating and the bread displays. Now, there is a big, tall shelf full of packaged breads and a refrigerator section that contains drinks and sandwiches that separate the seating area and where you choose your items. The breads used to be in individual cubby-​like compartments but now they are in big displays that have sliding doors. Although I like this new design, if someone is on one side of the sliding door (i.e. the left), you’ll have to wait to slide it towards the opposite direction (the right) if you want something (assuming what you want is on the opposite end of the other person). That sounded confusing. The only thing that concerns me a bit is that the fruit pastries are in an uncovered refrigerator so they are exposed to the air and possible flies! The seating is spacious and it is much more convenient than it used to be. I love the French café styled theme.
Food: I enjoy everything I get from here. The top items I usually get are:
1. Curry or japchae bread: Very good. The savory meaty filling complements the bread. It’s almost like a meal in one.
2. Hot dog pastries: A fun twist on hot dogs! They have so many different hot dog pastries that you don’t know which to try because they all look good! I tried the one with the red and green pepper slices and it was delicious!
3. Fruit tarts: You can never go wrong with these!
4. Royal pudding: Very light and not too sweet and they come in cute glass jars.
5. Fruit-​filled pastries: I really enjoy the apple and blueberry.
6. Chox cream bread: Very yummy! It’s simple and light.
7. Hash brown bread: My new favorite item! It’s like breakfast all-​in-​one! The bread, ham, cheese and hash brown taste heavenly in your mouth! Definitely recommend!
There are other things that I enjoy about this place: I like that they have small and big boxes to package your goodies. Parking is not a problem at all, it’s very spacious. I like the new 3% cash reward card program.
This is a good spot to go to when you want to just grab some coffee and dessert and chit chat with good company.

They recently finished remodeling in May and it has a very nice interior design. The seats are completely separate from the breads so you don’t bother the customers by constantly walking by and I like how they separate the dessert pastries from the breads and other snacks. They even put their pastries in a glass case which make for better presentation.
Each bread is labeled with its name and caloric information in kcal if you’re into that. No complaints really, expect that I’m glad that our purchases are projected on the screen at the register because my total came out to be $ 10 for 2 items and there were 6 pastries registered that weren’t anything I ordered. Maybe she was new and didn’t know what they were called, so it’s good to double check.

Paris baguette is my favorite bakery when I’m in Korea and Hawaii doesn’t have one so you can imagine my excitement when I found one near our hotel. The reason I like Paris Baguette is because I’m obsessed with their sweet potato cake. For those of you who have never tried sweet potato cake, go try it, you will be enlightened when you do. It’s sweet (but not overly so), soft, and wonderful.
Unfortunately, I didn’t get a chance to purchase or try this particular Paris Baguette’s sweet potato cake because they didn’t sell single servings (the ones in Korea do) and a small cake was $ 34…I mean, how was I going to eat an entire cake by myself before our flight the next day? (I suppose with dedication I could have but… but a lot of calories and leaves room for potential regret)
Instead I bought myself my favorite green tea castella and my bf and I grabbed some pastries for breakfast for the next day. We both bought the strawberry croissant looking pastry. It was super delicious and not overly sweet. The tartness of the strawberries balanced out the cream/​custard perfectly.
We’re finally back at home and I’m savoring my green tea castella for as long as I can. What will I do when I finish the box??? Go back to cali I guess? Yay!

Always busy and filled with Korean ladies meeting up to talk. It’s not a quiet place to come and study. Overall ambiance is good. It’s clean and big.
I enjoyed their new orange velvet iced tea. It’s nice how they toast your bread for you if you ask. All the workers are very friendly. When I was sitting down enjoying my snack one of the worker came up to me to tell me that the best way to drink the velvet tea is out of the drink. I thought it was nice of her to come by and tell me. So thank you:)
Wifi here is way too slow though :(

This is my favorite location because it’s so tiny and there’s hardly any lines! I always come here on the way home for church on Sundays. Their macarons are my guilty pleasure, but hey! NO REGRETS! I’ve tried almost all of them and they’re great! To list the ones they have that I’ve tried (from memory), their macaron flavors are: green tea, lavender (odd, but interestingly good), rose, raspberry, pistachio, hazelnut, vanilla, chocolate, coffee, & earl grey.
My Ultimate Faves: rose macarons, blueberry cream cheese cronut, & their pineapple pastry.
SO GOOD!

Pros:
Very good Strawberry pastry. My colleagues look forward to this pastries that I take to work on an occasional Friday.
I like their cake selections too.
The employees are so polite and helpful.
Coffee is delicious.
Cons:
Probably $ 0.50-$ 1.00/cake more than what I would like to see.
