I know this Paris Baguette has been around for a few years now, but my first visit was just this…read morepast weekend. It's bright and airy, with tons of pastries and yummy-looking treats. I was greeted right away as I entered - and the friendly staff were pleasant to interact with during my visit. There's all sorts of pastries here - from savory, to sweet - all sorts of flavors and toppings to choose from. They also have a sandwich section offering ready-to-eat choices such as egg salad, tuna, roast beef, among other options. It sorta reminds me of an 85* - and I appreciate that there is one closer to the UCI area, as the nearest 85* is a few miles away over at Diamond Jamboree (in quite possibly, one of the worst parking lots in OC). I already had breakfast, so opted against a pastry, but went for a drink instead. I inquired about the sweetness level of the Korean Iced Milk Coffee - and almost immediately, was offered a sample. It was pleasant - I went with a Large - unfortunately, this coffee drink is premade/premixed, so there wasn't an option to reduce sweetness level or opt for a milk alternative. Plenty of outdoor seating upfront, and plenty of parking. Although its part of the Albertsons shopping center, Paris Baguette sorta has its own sectioned off parking lot that it shares with Habit Grill next door.

The meal lets you mix and match from: a half sandwich, half hot sandwich or panini, pasta, salad, and a cup of soup. The meal got us comfortably full and was definitely bang for our buck. I ordered the Crispy Beef Cheddar Half Sandwich and Mac & Cheese with bacon and tomato. My meal also came with a side of garlic bread. The sandwich was yummy with a decent amount of meat, sauce, and flavor. The mac & cheese wasn't as favorable. It's not Italian restaurant quality but it's satisfying enough for the price. The garlic bread was nicely toasted and crispy. This location is clean and has plenty of seating and parking.

They have a touch screen here and an in-person register. We were a group of 3 so we took a while on the touch screen and people showed up after us and the employees took care of them right away. I usually get the menage a trois which is SO GOOD and yesterday was the first time I tried something different, the Adam RIchaman. I don't know what it is, but the flavor is soo good. I"m sure they could make a sandwich with like liver and it would still taste better than any other fast-food chain sandwich. There's plenty of parking at this location and they have both indoor and outdoor seating. The only thing I didn't notice was a restroom, but other than that, it's a solid location.

So bad, that I removed the sand bread that cost an extra few dollars for the gluten free up charge. What stark contrast to the decent ingredients they put on the sub.

Non-likes: - Ordered 10 min ahead via app. When I arrived, they still haven't started making the sandwich. And there was no other customer there! The point of ordering ahead is the food's supposed to be ready before the customer arrives. Disappointed.

Because it fulfills its role as Habit Burger, it gets five stars. Everything I get here is always crispy and fresh. Mmm. You can get some pretty good meal deals too every so often. Mmm. My choice of "food to eat as a starving college student" in this particular plaza. More substantial than the In-and-Out down the road, and of course with a slightly higher price tag. A good Habit Burger. Five stars.

Have you tried their chicken club yet? No wonder it is marked as fan fav. This became my favorite!…read moreI wasn't so hungry but craving for something fresh and tasty. This got me! Chicken was well-cooked with fresh avocado and tomatoes. There are 3 kiosks in addition to in-person order. So quick and easy.

They were friendly and helpful, thank you so much! Everyone loved the sandwiches and salad, and the dessert tray was a hit! The oatmeal raisin cookies received high marks! Plates, cups, napkins, straws, etc were included with the catering order at no extra cost. This doesn't happen often and I was so appreciative! I'd definitely order from them again!

The bag was even labeled "HOT," but everything arrived cold. The sandwiches lacked freshness, and the soups were cold enough that they needed to be reheated. For the price we paid, I expected much better quality and attention to detail. We're staying at the nearby hotel while our apartment is being repaired, so we were hoping for a comforting meal. Instead, it ended up being one of the most disappointing restaurant experiences we've had in a long time. I don't usually leave negative reviews, but serving cold food that is supposed to be hot is not acceptable. I hope management addresses the food quality and temperature control so other customers have a better experience than we did.

Bagels are light, chewy and fantastic - of course they're fresh. Staff is sweet and energetic. And you can be in and out fairly quickly unlike another Irvine bagel place that I will not name, but doesn't have as delicious as offering. Definitely has become my only go to bagel place from now on. I recommend the lox, wedge and lowers. Depending on your choice of sandwich and taste, I might recommend asking for easy on the lemon pepper though! There's a special for a free drip coffee or soda with any sandwich purchase which I take advantage of and it's pretty good coffee!

The Lowers, scrambled egg, bacon and cheddar cheese, was an underwhelming experience. The egg was not scrambled but a premade white circle with just enough yellow to make it egg-like. Unfortunately, it had no taste, except like something that had been refrigerated waaaay too long. Blech! The bacon and cheddar cheese were fine but there were so little of each, it hardly made it worth one's while. We were truly disappointed. If Bagel Shack is going to make hot breakfast sandwiches, they ought to choose a higher quality egg product to go with the delicious bagels.
