I really like coming here when I have time. It's nice to grab a pastry for a light lunch and a tea to accompany it. Light lunch that is beautifully presented and really affordable. I also ordered a the mini sponge cake online for a friend's going away dinner. It was just the perfect size for our small group. The cake was fluffy, fruits in the center and not too sweet. Perfect Asian cake. read more

This review is just for the croissant donut. Was really missing cronuts and searched if any place in Boston had a similar pastry before stumbling upon Paris Baguette. Ordered online - order was ready pretty quickly and thankfully there was no line inside. Really liked their version of the cronut which came with lemon icing and lemon zest. I won't compare it to the original but will say it's a close enough substitute and I'm grateful they had it. Their other baked goods looked tempting too; will surely be back. read more

Paris Baguette - Croissant Donut - Bakeries Near Me - Cambridge, Massachusetts

I have to admit: the store is sleek, bright, and beautiful. The decor is quite attractive and always tempts me to buy something. The red bean bun is venerable, with it being fresh and full of sweet red bean. The twist donut is acceptable. It's soft and sugary, though it's nothing too special in terms of flavor. The "apple pie" is more like an apple turnover than anything. Overall, nothing wow'ed me (maybe I should try the croissant donut) but nothing sucked. Prices for baked goods are on the higher end. Service is generally good, so I'm happy with that. It's a steady bakery with variety and a safe bet. read more

Needed a sugar fix, and from the display cases everything here looked absolutely flawless. I ordered both the Green Tea Layer Cake and a Chocolate Croissant. Admittedly, I found myself to be a bit disappointed, for the price and from the looks of everything. I had expected both items I bought to taste as wonderful as they had looked. The Green Tea Layer cake wasn't quite anything like I expected. While the strawberries and whipped cream used to fill and top the cake were excellent, the cake itself was on the dry side and missing most of what was the advertised "green tea" flavor. As for the Chocolate Croissant, that too was a miss for me. The croissant itself was somewhat flaky and topped off with a chocolate drizzle but it didn't taste fresh, maybe because it was sitting out all day. It's a shame because everything on the shelves is beautiful to look at but sadly the items I tried certainly fell short in terms of taste! On the other hand, I don't want to write this place off and I think I'll give it another try soon because they had such a large collection of pastries, breads, and sandwiches and I'm thinking perhaps I just didn't try the right things? We will see! read more

My coworker got a cake from Paris Baguette to celebrate an office birthday. It was the perfect consistency and taste! She got a white cake that wasn't too sweet and had berries on top.

Yah Paris baguette! Brings back good memories of Korea. Love their pretty desserts and packaging! Not very big as this is located in the front of a small Hmart. The thing I like about PB, is their desserts are not super sweet. They also have pastries and sandwiches. Just saw from reviews they have a Cronut?! Must go back soon to try! Parking is scarce as there is only street parking. There's a big lot out back but it's not Hmart parking, boo! read more

After hearing some of our friends rave about the cakes (specifically the blueberry yogurt), I finally went to get a cake for a birthday. Maybe we just had really high expectations, but the cake was dry and crumbly. It was beautifully decorated and not overly sweet, but we were slightly disappointed in such an average cake. Perhaps we just got a dud, but it's quite expensive for us to give it another go. I also ordered the cake online through the app and the quickest pickup was in 240 minutes. (Just a heads up to plan in advanced!) read more

Paris Baguette is a super-cure Asian-style bakery located in the food court right outside H-Mart in Central Square. I love stopping by for a little sweet pick-me-up. The prices are more expensive than the multitude of bakeries in Chinatown, but given the dearth of competition in the Central Square area, it makes sense why they are able to charge higher prices. Some of my favorite items: Cronut: a cross between a croissant and a donut made famous by a bakery in New York. At $4, it is one of the more expensive items, but I can't help getting one every time I visit. The cronut is deliciously buttery and flaky on the outside, with a smooth creamy filling. Strawberry cream croissant: one of my favorite desserts. A buttery croissant filled with sweetened whipped cream filling and fresh strawberry halves. Very satisfying! Frappe: They have a special where every day between 2-4pm a frappe is 50% off. Cakes: I have bought a lot of Paris Baguette cakes over the last two years because they are so beautiful. Prices are usually between $26-$35, and the cakes are mostly sweetened whipped cream based (like most Asian bakery cakes). They aren't overly sweetened and taste light and airy. read more

My kids and I like several items at the Paris Baguette. The cakes and tarts are our favorite. Will we have it once a week? Maybe. We may get enough of it after a few weeks in the row. Will we have it once a month? Yes My daughter loves their fruit tarts. The fruits are fresh. The crust is baked perfectly and the cream is light. Perfect portion as well. My son and I like the sweet cream cake. Both original and green tea are equally great. The cream is not too much and are light. The cake is moist and soft. We normally add our own strawberries or raspberries and drink with a cup of tea. It's one of the best sweet cream cake we have had. Heaven!!!! We can't taste green tea much but that's ok. Their croissants, donut croissants, and breads are so so. Maybe because we used to the french version. Paul's are so much better. The only thing we like from the bread section is the brioche 5" type of bread and the light cream inside. A lot of people like their loaf of bread. It smells sooo good when you toast it. Seems like a lot of butter for me. I would only have it for special occasion. The have great tea selection as well, from Palais Des Thes. Packaging is very cute and great service. read more

Great crab meat croquettes. Kinda expensive but that's Boston for you.

Nice big clean cafeteria to eat and sit in. read more

I've always walked by this location since it's in the Heart in Central. There's usually a small like at checkout (5-10 minute queue).

Delicious... prices of the croque monsieur, baguettes, tarts, cakes and other pastries are quite fair usually around $3-$6 for the mid-range. I would love to come back and try many more because they have so many delectable components to their foods. The strawberry peanut crumble topped pastry was amazing. The croque monsieur was $3.50 (half of a full toast- usually a full toast in other places cost $12-$15 which is ridiculous! So I was happy to grab it here.) organic mango smoothie didn't seem to have much additional sweetener, if any. Large size cost $6! It got watery fast, unfortunately but at least hit the spot. read more

Anywhere I go that there is a Paris Baguette I will be going. Breakfast here very delightful.

I come here too often for my waistline but their cakes and pastries are simply heavenly. Their cream cakes are so airy and packed with flavor, and the cream melts in your mouth like a fluffy cloud. They are sweet but not overly so, and don't suffer from the artificial aftertaste that many other cakes do. My favorites are the green tea chiffon and strawberry cream cakes, but all of them are outstanding. I often buy birthday treats for my friends here and they are always a hit. Paris Baguette will wrap your cake in a cute blue box for no extra charge. They sell whole cakes for $20-30 and they are stunning. My friend bought me the Cappuccino cake for my birthday, and I finished it all in one sitting. The coffee sponge cake and coffee buttercream were so addicting, and it was adorned with delicate pieces of dark chocolate and a couple of pirouette cookies which added depth and texture. Besides the cakes, the cronuts are a must-try, as well as the huge macarons. I've had the bubble tea as well which unfortunately was a disappointment. The tapioca pearls were too dry and the tea itself was not mixed well. The bakery is right at the entrance of HMart, so you can go buy some healthy fruits and vegetables after your indulgence (or just stock up on ramen). read more

Paris Baguette took my trademark copyright C-in-a-circle ©ronut virginity. And I liked it. You might feel a bit sheepish sliding a tray down the rails cafeteria-style at a bakery. But, y'know, Wall-E predicted it, so let it happen. Plus, you can justify buy ordering the mini version of their most popular treats. Which I didn't. I went big. A cronut, a pistachio grand macaron, and a pineapple pastry. Nine bucks bought the threesome (said no one ever), and all failed to disappoint. There's a secret as to how the giant macaron could maintain its textural integrity at triple the normal size, but they do it. And they do it for $2.50 a treat. Speaking of texture, dat cronut. (Cue Pillsbury script!) Tender, flakey, butter forward, sweet without being saccharine - it's a proper pastry liger if there ever was one, and calorically situated to fit the $4 price tag. One a month, max. Now, go buy some veggies from H Mart. Sinner. read more

Paris Baguette - Croissant donut. But not a cronut. - Bakeries Near Me - Cambridge, Massachusetts

Located at the entrance to the H-Mart (in the food court) Paris Baguette had a fantastic selection of baked and rich items. They carry small cheese cakes which are the same style as Uncle Tetsu (if you're familiar with the Montreal or NYC location). Prices are fantastic. We got a few slices of cheese cake, a cheese cake and a couple other random baked goodies including one that was meant to resemble a hot dog but was sweet and rich. No complaints at all. Fast and prices were great. Going to make a special trip very soon to get more cheese cake! read more

I always get cake from here and they never disappoint. I personally don't like american sweets because it is just too sweet for me. This place has the perfect balance of sweetness when it comes to their cake and pastry. The cream is not too sweet and the flavor of those cakes are amazing! The pastry and drinks are also good! Anything matcha from them always tastes great!(I'm a matcha lover). The breads themselves are always fresh (at least in my experience, every time I go there I see them put in a fresh batch of bread) I highly recommend this place! Especially when its right in hmart where you can stock up your korean goods :) read more

Paris Baguette is a top bakery franchise originated from South Korea and successfully expanded its global market in the past several years. Its goal is to "become to bread what McDonald's is to hamburgers." Pretty ambitious eh? Located in front of Hmart in the heart of Central Square, Paris Baguette is a bakery/cafe I visit from time to time. It is brightly lit, clean, and has a very organized set up. You start at the end of the counter, pick up a tray, place a parchment paper on top, and pick up baked goods of your liking, and wait in line to pay. I would skip the drinks and get right to the pastries. The drinks aren't bad but nothing special in my opinion. Pastry-wise, there are cakes, bread, croissant, mochi, macarons, etc. you name it. OH and don't forget the cronuts!! I was so excited to see cronuts here, especially since I wasn't planning on going to NY anytime soon. I had the regular cronut - it was buttery, crispy, and flaky. A sweet custard filling poured out as I bit into the center. I enjoyed it, but it didn't blow me away. It was almost too greasy and overly sweet for me. Nevertheless, it was still worth a try! They also have patbingsoo (shaved ice) but ONLY in the summer. I walked away disappointed when I visited in October. I mean, yes I get that it is a summer treat, but it is ALWAYS the season for ice cream. :P Pastries here are more pricey than your usual Asian bakeries. In short, it is a sweet spot to get your cravings fixed. Plus, now you don't need to trek all the way down to NY to get a taste of this cronut craze. read more

their cakes are okay, pastries are okay. I tried the cronut recently and it was nasty!!!! dripping in oil and more oil and grease when u bite into it. yuck!!! unhealthy and mostly not delicious?! not sure if they tried it themselves first. so bad. can't believe it's still on the menu. please don't try, save yourself $4. yes, they cost $4 too. soooo disappointed, want a refund. get anything but the cronut, though i'd much prefer anything from the Chinese pastries in Chinatown than anything here. better tasting and cheaper. read more

This is a very very nice bakery and I was very excited to try out its strawberry fresh cream cake as a birthday cake for my mother in law for the first time. However, its employees are unprofessional and don't know what they are doing. Wednesday, I went online to place the cake order, however I realized in the online order that it says the Paris Baguette in Cambridge is "temporarily unavailable." Therefore I am confused if this location accepts online orders or not, so I called in and asked "Hi when I tried to place a cake order online, it says 'temporarily unavailable' so does that mean I have to place my order on the phone?" The girl didn't answer my question about the online ordering and immediately starts "placing my order" via the phone. One comment I have for the unprofessional customer service is how when the girl asked for by debit card number, she listened to the first 12 digits and when I finished saying the 12th digit, she skipped to ask for my phone number. What kind of debit card in the world has 12 digits and not 16 digits? I have to explain to her for a good minute how my card is 16 digits and not 12 digits so she should copy down 4 more digits. After I gave her my debit card number, she asked for my phone. She said "if there's a problem or if we need anything, we will call you." So then I hung up the phone. However, she never called me back. Friday, when I called in and want to confirm my cake order, the guy that picked up the phone couldn't find my cake and said "I will call you back when I find it." However, he never called me back. After I waited for an hour, I called back again and the girl picked up and I told her "Hi I called before and you guys told me that you couldn't find my cake. Have you guys found it yet?" She said she didn't see my cake and asked me "when did you leave it in the store?" I was confused what she asked so I asked "I am sorry?" She said "when did you leave the 'keys' in the store?" So then I have to go on and explain to her I said "cake" not "keys." So then she told me that she couldn't find my order. And didn't even ask me if I want to reorder a cake. I was so frustrated that I don't even care about the cake anymore. I know this is a very delicious place but they are so unprofessional. read more

What happened to you guys PB?? The once go-to place for me whenever I wanted bingsoo is now such a rip-off. The bingsoo from 2015 has 60-65%fruits/topping with GOOD FRUITS (water melon, mango, honey dew, Asian pear, strawberry). Today, I got an order of bingsoo for the same price, which has like 30%fruits. The rest is just ice and syrup. What's in the 30%, you may ask. Blueberries, grapes, strawberries, some mochi, and canned pineapple. With roughly $12, should we expect good quality and fresh fruit? Please, have some quality control before sending things like this out. read more

I'd been lustfully perusing Yelp photos of Paris Baguette for a while, so when I walked by here feeling a little hungry and thirsty I promptly forgot about the water bottle and granola bar in my bag and walked on in. Paris Baguette is a gleaming, air-conditioned paradise of desserts. You serve yourself pastries using your own wax-lined bamboo tray and set of tongs and order cakes and drinks at the counter. So many things looked amazing, like the packaged peanut crunch bread and the blueberry chiffon cake. I like how they have a good balance of savory and sweet pastries--the sweet potato garlic pastry seemed interesting. I also appreciate that they have ingredients and calorie data on everything since it's easy to go crazy at a place like this. After much deliberation, I went for a new item, the creme brûlée "bon bon" (although it was more of a fried pastry). I don't really understand how they engineered this: it's a ball of yeasted dough filled to the brim with a thin vanilla custard. It tasted like a Krispy Kreme doughnut. The bottom was a little soggy, and the top could have been more torched to reinforce the "brûlée" aspect of the pastry, but overall a high quality, indulgent treat, especially at $1.75. I should have heeded the reviews and skipped the bubble tea, but I just can't say no to boba. I paid $0.95 to add boba to an iced green tea ($2.50 for a small). Sadly, the tapioca was overcooked--slimy without any chew--and seemed like it was soaked in white sugar instead of more flavorful honey syrup. Disappointing, but maybe it was a one-time thing? Paris Baguette would be a great place to do work or catch up with a friend because it's quiet and clean inside. Although the line can get long, there's plenty of seating. Who would have thought that the cutest cafe in Central Square would be inside H Mart? read more

My Tryst with PAB began in September in Palo Alto. As soon I got back home, I inevitably ended up searching for one here, and voila! Right opposite to the Central square T!

Instant insulin spike :) Also, being a fan of anything Limey, I'd highly recommend the lemon macaroon. read more

This place is attractive to be sure - bright lights displaying rows of baked goodies behind shiny, modern counters. I'm a fan of the famed cronut so that would get 4 stars and sadly the red bean donut would get a 1. I wanted to try their cream puffs but it looked so dry and on the verge of shriveling - had it been sitting there for a few days? That's the impression I got. Cronut was flaky, the custard was the perfect amount of sweet with good proportions, too. Slightly too greasy, but the flavor of this baked goodie was superb. The red bean bun was a huge disappointment. Very dry, like I was eating stale bread and the inside had a red bean paste that didn't have much red bean flavor to it. Very bland. After 2 bites I was done - and that second bite was one too many. No sense in putting on pounds for subpar dessert. I'd suggest getting red bean desserts at a Chinese bakery or at a good dim sum place. I suppose a good rule to go by would be to see which goods are in abundance later in the day - if they haven't sold many they must not be that great! I should have totally gone by that rule. Service was standard. Egg tarts, a fave dessert of mine, are $2.25 - I'd rather get them for $0.75 or $1 in Chinatown (and I did the other day!). The prices are a bit high and while the displays here look attractive when you first walk in, the actual goods don't look that appealing upon closer inspection (again, too dry!!). I would rather spend my money down the street at Flour for baked goods or at least get more bang for my buck for quality pastries in C-Town! read more

Omg this is probably one of the best Paris baguettes I've been to. The milk tea here is amazing. I had their curry croquette which was a little bit cold but nonetheless amazing. They do have microwaves to heat up your food but not sure if it's to heat up your sandwiches. Anyway, this is located in H Mart along with two other Japanese Restaurants. It reminds me of a cafeteria feel and something you see in Asia. It's a great place for a cup of coffee that's not overpriced and some Asian inspired pastries! read more
