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 cake was fresh, moist, and full of flavor, and it was a huge hit at the party. Everyone kept asking where we got it from.

I had the option to pay for the cake in full or place a deposit. Please keep in mind that I ordered this cake months prior to the graduation. I was impressed by the level of communication received and also the ease of placing an order. I was a bit nervous when I had to pick up the cake because I wasn't sure if there were any mishaps since I placed the order so long ago. On the day of the graduation, I picked up the cake and it was perfect!!! Strawberry shortcake - customized as you see in the photo with CSUN colors! The cake was delicious and so cute!!!

Dear Hubby is addicted to this bakery's offerings. We have one of their cafes in Simi Valley, and…read morehe seems to make a run there either every week or every other week. I am grateful that their style seems to be to use less sugar than other bakeries. You can enjoy the sweetness without being overwhelmed by the sugar content. Last weekend we were spending the day with our grandchildren. Adored Grandson was in town from points north for a long weekend. DH had prepared brunch for the family, then we hung out. Later, AG was craving a coffee drink, so the oldest and youngest generation hopped in to the car and went out to get drinks and desserts. Sweet Granddaughter was having a blast, getting attention from 3 of her favorite adults, PLUS getting to pick her own sweets. What more could a six year old want? She's pretty discerning about baked goods, and even got her own tray. We had to pare back some of her selections. AG got his java jolt, and I was able to order a decaf crafted beverage that satisfied my taste buds. $48, four drinks, and multiple pastries to go later, we were headed out the door. Whew! The layout of this particular location is a little odd. Though one can eat in, it doesn't feel like that welcoming of a space. It's mostly about the cases and shelves of baked goods, as far as how the floor plan is set. The counter service people were helpful with answering questions on the options for the drink orders. We did share some of our treats with the parentals at home. The prices at this bakery are very fair. We did get quite a few items.

Pro tip for first timers: do NOT add brown sugar to your Vietnamese coffee lol... lesson learned. The pastries were definitely the highlight. So many interesting flavors and we honestly tried a bit of everything. My absolute favorite was the jalapeño cream cheese pastry kind of like a danish and it was AMAZING. Overall, my favorite drink ended up being the brown sugar coffee for sure, and I'd definitely give this spot another try. Pricing ranges around $3-$20, which is pretty decent. The lines move quickly, the space is super spacious inside, and the staff was very friendly and helpful with any questions. Great attitude all around!

I've been to South Korea, where I've had some of the best coffee of my life, so my standards are pretty high. Re Coffee absolutely hits the spot. Their coffee is strong without being bitter, creamy without overpowering the coffee flavor, and perfectly balanced. Every sip reminds me why I keep coming back. Beyond the coffee, the shop has a warm neighborhood coffee shop vibe that makes you want to stay awhile. The staff are always friendly and keep things moving despite how busy the shop gets. As for parking, there are a few spots in the back, and you can usually find street parking along Reseda as well. There are plenty of coffee shops around, but Re Coffee stands out for consistently delivering a great cup of coffee. The constant line isn't hype--it's well deserved.

At first, I was disappointed because I was looking forward to enjoying some pastries and coffee. This bakery is French bakery fusion, they have similar pastries that you can find in most of the French bakeries. I got several pastries and they all tasted really good and fresh. I also got a birthday cake and it tasted really fresh. The young lady who was working was very nice and friendly. She even informed us that coffee will take several minutes to be ready. Parking was easy since it is located in a shopping plaza.

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.

My favorite pirozhki are with cabbage and potatoes. Both kinds are very slightly spiced and salted. The dough and the filling are temperature hot, tender and delicious. The potato ones resemble the softness and texture of yummy mashed potatoes. The cabbage ones taste like the cabbage was slightly sautéed before being deep-fried in the dough. Both kinds are incredibly good. The spot itself is more of a to-go spot, with only 2 tables available for dining in. The service is friendly and very efficient. They take your order and the cooking process starts. Will definitely come back for more pirozhki!

One thing to note: they open late--12:30 PM. Parking was easy, and there's a decent amount of seating inside. I happened to be the first customer of the day. Don't expect the warm, smiley Filipino hospitality right away--just head straight to the counter and place your order on the iPad. As for the halo-halo, it's definitely not your traditional version. It wasn't bad by any means, but it's quite different from the halo-halo I grew up with and the ones I enjoy whenever I visit Manila. If you're looking for a modern take on the classic dessert, you may appreciate it more than I did. Prices are pretty standard for Los Angeles, and they accept Apple Pay, which is always a plus.

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.

We placed a pickup order for around $100 that included 3 drinks and 15 pastries. When we arrived, we gave our name for the order, and the employee only handed us one drink and two boxes without saying anything or confirming that everything was included. As we were leaving, we realized we were missing two drinks, so we went back inside. The employee barely acknowledged us and was still finishing the drinks. Another employee eventually came out and handed them to us, and the interaction made it feel like they were just trying to get us out of the store as quickly as possible. Before leaving, we specifically asked if everything was included, and we were told yes. Unfortunately, after driving the 35 minutes home, we discovered that we were still missing about five pastries from our order. By then, the store had already closed, so there was no way to contact anyone to resolve the issue. Mistakes happen, but for a $100 order, it's disappointing that no one took the time to verify it was complete--especially after we had already come back once because items were missing. We really enjoy Paris Baguette and hope this was an isolated incident, but we also hope more care is taken with future pickup orders so other customers don't have the same experience.
