The place was busy and I saw someone eating an everything bagel croissant, a "Crogel" that looked absolutely delicious! Service was kind and quick. We'll definitely be back!

I was sad to see that they don't offer 'housemade' pastries anymore, as I remember seeing in their past photos; their menu for their offerings was clearly updated. In addition, the drinks that we ordered were just not good at all: +the Toasted Marshmallow Latte - prepared with 2 shots of espresso, choice of milk, and a housemade toasted marshmallow syrup; this tasted like watered down coffee with no 'toasted marshmallow' taste; coffee could have been prepared strong, and we did ask for 'extra hot', but received it regular temperature +Witch's Potion - an apple cider with chai, topped with a dash of cinnamon; probably one of the worst ciders we've had - wasn't really sure the mixture with the chai, but this just seemed like it was an improperly steeped tea that did not have any flavor The staff were friendly, and there seemed to be local patrons who come here on a regular basis. The blue mobile truck is very cute, and they had some seating available with nice fall decor.

When I walked in, I was expecting something a bit more cutesy, but that wasn't the vibe at all. While there's plenty of seating, it felt more like a grab-and-go type of place. The coffee menu was pretty simple. I ordered a cortado and a chai latte (which is powdered). The cortado was good, though it came in a smaller cup than I expected. Service was standard--nothing particularly memorable. I had hoped to grab a pastry for my kids, but they looked a bit dry, so I passed. Overall, it's decent if you're looking for something quick and straightforward. However, I wouldn't recommend it if you're set on a specific or more specialty drink, as your options may be limited.

The Croque Monsier was delicious; the ultimate grilled cheese with smoked Gouda, Gruyère, ham, and topped off with a creamy mornay sauce. The sandwich just oozed with cheese. Next time I'll get it to go and have it with tomato soup. Then I had a plain cappuccino which was slightly bitter and smooth. They have so much to choose from; a bakery and a wine bar. Next on my list is the short rib panini, the raspberry cream bear claw along with a few other items. It's a lovely place to have lunch and get work done. The noise level was low and parking was plenty. Truly an amazing escape!

First things first: clearly the camera did not eat first here, and honestly, that tells you…read moreeverything you need to know. We tried three items: the red velvet cake, the mocha cake, and an apple pastry (not sure of the exact name, but it reminded me of an apple turnover/empanada). Let's start with the red velvet cake, so good. Moist, flavorful, and honestly better than I expected. Red velvet is one of those cakes that's easy to mess up, but they executed it perfectly. What impressed me even more is that we bought it right before closing, didn't eat it immediately, and it still tasted amazing hours later even after being refrigerated. The mocha cake was well-made, soft, spongy, and clearly high quality, but it just wasn't for me. It has a strong coffee flavor, so if you're a coffee person, you'll probably love it. For me, it was about a 6/10. Now the real star: the apple pastry. This was everything. Perfectly flaky, lightly crisp on the outside, and filled with fresh, flavorful apples. It melted in your mouth! could've easily eaten multiples of these!! Service was also a highlight. Even though we came in right before closing, the staff was kind, patient, and efficient. Nothing felt rushed, which I really appreciated. The shop itself is cute and quaint. Perfect for a quick stop or a casual treat. Overall, Paris Baguette delivered. Some items may come down to personal preference, but the quality is there. I'd absolutely go back, especially for that red velvet cake and the apple pastry . Sidenote: they also have candles & birthday decor for purchase!

Chocolate Pretzel -- a tasty pastry with less sweet chocolate filling, sprinkled with toasted small peanut bits. It pairs well with coffee.

We got the Mushroom Soup, which was definitely my least favorite thing. Although it had a good umami flavor, and plenty of mushroom chunks, the consistency was a bit thicker than I liked it. However, I was more than happy with the Spinach Borek, which even my kids gulped down. I also really enjoyed my Turkish Coffee, which was super dark (my kind of coffee). They have a lot of sweet options as well - from turkish delight to ice cream to entire trays of baklavah. What I also particularly liked was the decor. Although they do "to-go" orders, I highly recommend eating there. Your food and drink will be served in really cool dishware by very friendly staff. They're also happy to answer any questions about the menu that you may have.
