What a great experience!…read more Walked to this bakery and tried a few things and everything tasted fresh and delicious. We tried the Silvana cookies (wow), the pan de sal with pork (delicious, hot, and soft), the ensaymadas, lemon bar, and Ube cheesecake. Mike was extremely hospitable and so excited to serve us. I highly recommend stopping by!

For those who love light and airy desserts, this spot has an amazing one. Their Fruit Jelly Cake is…read moreprobably the best fruit jelly I've ever had in my life. The jelly itself is very light and not too sweet and the fruits in the cake are filled in all the way down to the bottom. With each bite, you taste the freshness and the ripeness of the fruits. The cake is so light that you can't stop eating it. Almost a guilt-free pleasure. Many places try to imitate this fruit jelly cake, but none come close . I highly recommend it. The bakery itself is small but has a nice selection of pastries and the customer service is on point. Will definitely be back for more.

I recently visited this Paris Baguette location. I visited late afternoon, but shelves were still…read morefull. They had a lot of pastries on the display which made the decision making harder. I would like to give Abraham( cashier) a big shout out. I couldn't decide which cake slice to get so I asked him. He recommended me chocolate cake which was amazing. I really enjoyed the slice. I will make sure to get the same thing next time. This location is very clean and there is plenty of seats. They also have a nice outdoor seating area too. Parking is easy too since it is located in a shopping plaza. There were plenty of spots to park. Paris Baguette never disappoints. They always have the yummiest pastries.

Bonjour! A Paris pastry shop that also has (pre-packaged) gluten free and vegan items. I was not…read moreexpecting it but I was able to choose between a coffee cake or chocolate cake. I got the coffee cake, it's small but it was good and the price point was great seeing that it was the same as the other non gluten pasties around. I also grabbed a blueberry matcha off the summer menu, tasted great. The blueberry flavor wasn't over powering of the matcha. Lots of pastries to choose from, cakes in the fridge to pick from or grab and go section with some lunch items. Plenty of items to still grab from around 11am. A cinnamon twist donut and a s'mores croissant, is what my mom grabbed from the selection. She mentioned the pastries tasted light and airy (not heavy or a thick donut texture). Also grabbed a s'mores frappe; blended with hot chocolate. The cashier we had wasn't very friendly, kinda felt a little rushed. The drinks also took awhile to come out, but they did taste great. Inside had plenty of seating with clean tables.

We were checking out the new Gelato Mio next door and noticed Napoleon Bakery after parking. The…read moreinterior was so attractive that we were enticed to go inside an check out their wares. Although it was close to closing time, the young man who was minding the shop was very friendly and gracious in answering our questions. They have a beautiful selection of cake slices, pastries, and even coffee drinks available. They do custom whole cakes for birthdays and other occasions. With the name of Napoleon, I thought it was a French bakery. It turns out that they specialize in a number of European confections, including options from Eastern Europe. Without a lot of time before they were done for the day, Dear Hubby and I each chose a cake slice, and we got a cake pop for our Sweet Granddaughter. She got to pick the color icing she preferred, which was nice. The pricing seems fair, especially given the loving care that's gone into baking and decorating each baked treat. We will definitely be visiting again. They are within 5 to 10 minutes of where our kids live, so there you go - a new "secret" place discovered!

We saw this place next door after having lunch/dinner at Boiling Pot next door on Sunday. The…read moreplace looked popular with tables filled on the patio and the pastries on display through the window looked intriguing so decided to take a chance and maybe get a small coffee and some pastries to try. There was a young man at the counter who welcomed us with a wonderful smile. He said his name is Said (pronounced Sa-eed) and asked if it was our first time here. We said it was, so he offered to give us some samples of their most popular bake goods. He said it is made of light custard and it's called soft cake and it is traditional pastry from his country in Uzbekistan that his mother bakes all from scratch. In Asia we also don't like overly sweet cakes so we thought it sounded to fit our taste preferences. And we loved it after trying! My mom said it tastes very similar to the cake she had back in Seoul in her childhood she misses fondly, but she could never have that same taste. Just a little sweeter. But the custard and texture of the cake is just the same. We also got the eclair. And it was pretty good too. But definitely recommend the soft cake!! Sooo yummyyy!! I also got the strawberry cold foam matcha latte and my mom got a small americano coffee. She said it's the best coffee she had in a cafe. Of course superb compared to Starbucks or any other coffee franchise. She says American coffee shops always burn their beans so it tastes burnt, but this place roasted the beans just right. And we also loved the strawberry cold foam matcha. I don't know how, but it tasted like really strawberry was in the drink!! My mom said it's the best strawberry milk she ever had here and in Korea! And she wants to order again when we come by next time. Overall a very enjoyable experience. Food and drinks were all prepared with such care, but given at a reasonable time. Some of these cafes take forever to make your drinks, even Starbucks makes you wait 20 minutes! These other coffee shops make it seem like they're doing some complex chemistry experiment how long it takes for just a drink! But this young guy he makes the drink in under 5 min and it tastes 10x better anything those other coffee shops make, but in less than half the time! I really thought maybe it was really hard making drinks, but this young dude makes it look like a walk in the park, the speed and ease he cranks out the drinks. I think Uzbekistan people must be just built different! and he was also so kind and pleasant taking the time to explain and answer all our questions. Some of these other places wouldn't even bother or make it feel like you're pulling a nail from them the way they grimace. He was so nice we wanted to give a tip, but he even said he didn't want us to. He'd happily accept just our enjoying the food and drinks and would appreciate if we left a review for his cafe. just had to leave a review. Especially after how nice he is. And hearing his story and how it's a family run bakery with the mom baking and son making drinks and running front counter. And an authentic European bakery!! Wow! Aren't we so glad they moved into our neighborhood! A Real quality cafe I didn't even know what I was missing until I stepped into this little shop by mere chance! I Will definitely come by again. And anyone else who discovers this little gem would be so lucky and blessed as us!

The food is always fresh, tasty, and very reasonably priced, which keeps us coming back. Some of our absolute favorites are the potato pirashki, cabbage pirashki, nacho cheese empanadas, and of course the custard and Nutella ponchiks--everything is always warm, flavorful, and perfectly made. Today my husband, who is very picky, decided to try their lahmajun for the first time. He loved it! It was crisp, fresh, and perfectly seasoned. That was another win for Papillon. Definitely worth trying a variety of their recipes--you really can't go wrong here.

The fruit tarts is probably my favorite of them all, the fruit is fresh and they're not stingy with it at all. The bread? So fluffy and great as well.

Just get there before 2pm as they barista is gone by that time. Highly recommend anyone looking for custom cakes, highly recommend anyone local, in reality , I highly recommend ANYONE to try them out. Huge shout out to the staff as well.

Called in order on Sunday and specifically requested Fondant cake with no milk (no tres leches)…read more Person that took order even repeated it back to us. We picked up cake yesterday and it was the incorrect cake. They made it Tres leches and no fondant. We went in and spoke with manager that stated that the employee that took order is not in today. And refused to refund because there wasn't a contract for Fondant. We made order over the phone so obviously there wasn't a contract and we were never told that that we needed a contract for fondant in order to refund. Manager was very unprofessional because we told him that we pretty much have to pay for his employees mistake and he responded: Yes
