I've been going to Paris Baguette for about two years now, and overall I really love this place. It has become one of my regular spots, and I visit quite often. First of all, the pastries are delicious - consistently fresh, flavorful, and beautifully made. There's always a great variety, and it's hard to choose because everything looks so good. I'm also a big fan of their Lavazza coffee - it's smooth, rich, and pairs perfectly with the pastries. For a quick breakfast, coffee break, or casual meet-up, this place is perfect. The service has always been very good. The staff is friendly, polite, and welcoming, which makes a big difference. The location is also excellent, very close to my house, so it's super convenient and one of the main reasons I keep coming back. The only downside I've experienced was with cake orders. I ordered cakes a few times, and unfortunately, one of them was deep frozen and didn't have the berries I specifically requested, which was disappointing. Another cake was okay, but honestly not the best, especially compared to how amazing everything else usually is. I really appreciated how the situation was handled. When I shared my feedback about the cake, the staff apologized sincerely and offered me a free cup of coffee and pastries, which was very kind and professional. It showed that they care about their customers and want to make things right. I'll definitely continue coming back for the pastries, coffee, great service, and convenient location. I just hope the cake quality becomes more consistent in the future. read more

Since I rarely go to bakery or pastry shops, I decided to try Paris Baguette for a special treat. It was my first time visiting this chain, so I downloaded their app and placed an online order for pickup to make things easy. I ordered the Ms. Bear and Mr. Bear snacks, along with a slice of cake. Unfortunately, the overall experience was pretty mediocre. Even though I arrived well past my scheduled pickup time, my order still wasn't ready. The staff hadn't prepared the cake slice yet and had to hastily package a new one for me while I waited, which defeats the purpose of ordering ahead on the app. As for the desserts themselves, they were just okay. The bear snacks are definitely cute, but the taste left a lot to be desired. I've certainly been to other bakeries that taste much better for the price. Overall, an underwhelming first impression. read more

Pastries and cakes are good but the visit wasn't an experience that was friendly or welcoming. Early this morning I bought a cake but wanted to purchase palmiers as pastries for my office but didn't see any. I inquired and the staff said they didn't have any and were not friendly or helpful. The two women who were working acted put out. It was a turnoff and I didn't want to buy anything else. $4-5 for each small pastry with unfriendly service is not a good value and there are plenty of bakeries that offer better service and quality. Consumers are tired of dismissive service and pressure to tip (as if they were doing us a favor). Your cakes are overpriced and I can buy something better across the street at Sprouts for a better value. read more

We went there today, but I was really put off by the place because there weren't many options and only one employee was working. There were eight of us, so we decided not to stay. It was 7 PM, so we went to eat at Corner Bakery across the street instead. read more

This is a quick serve chain, but they have the most amazing pastries, cakes and sandwiches! The display cases are full of tempting delicacies. There is a large assortment of breakfast and lunch options, in addition to espresso beverages and sodas. Behind the glass, you can observe the bakers and decorators making their magic. My only complaint for this visit is that there was only one person working the counter, with a fairly decent crowd of customers There is ample indoor and patio seating. read more

When it comes to cakes, this place is our go-to. Never too heavy or overly sweet. It's balanced, fluffy, always a win. The strawberry cream cake and rainbow cake are some of our favorites. We did have an experience where the strawberries on the cake were not fresh, very chewy and rubbery, so we had to just pull them off before serving, but a rare occurrence. There's also a wide assortment of pastries. I love their red bean bun, black sesame puff, and donut twist. Their fruit tart is also very light and delicious. Make sure to download their app and collect points for free pastries and drinks! You also order in advance. Parking is ready in this step mall. Inside is always clean, spacious with another small seating area in the back. read more

Ever since the Aliso location closed, we've been looking for a bakery just like this. So glad PB opened at this location. Same concept as 85 degrees only their choices are way better in my opinion. It is a little pricier but I think the variety and the flavors are better. Love their flat breads & pizzas. They also have donuts & mini pastries. Self serve & check out at the counter, they bag & box it up for you. Hot & cold drinks available. They also do full cakes as well - highly recommend placing an order in advance for those. Their cakes are light & fluffy, the frosting is not sweet. It is perfect. This location actually has a decent sized dining area. Perfect place to work or hang out. read more

Very yummy not too sweet frosting! Okay so comparing Mixed Berry soft cream Cake to Porto's Milk and Berries it's almost the same! Porto's is a bit more moist because of the milk. The pricing well comparing sizes Porto's you get more for your money. The convenience of having a bakery close by is great but can be on the pricy side for a small cake. I paid about $43.00 for 10 -12 inch cake pictures attached to review. They do provide cute cake plastic knife with a match inside and free candles. The candles are nothing fancy just random rainbow colors. I've tried the mixed berry soft cream cake & the Chocolate strawberry Cake. Both are good. My favorite is the mixed berry soft cream cake. Overall satisfied with my purchase and the cake! Will be a continued customer. read more

Birthday 2025: Shout out to Enzo , you are one of a kind! I came To this location for the first time as I was in the area. Found PB on yelp and was curious where it was located. PB is located in a shopping center a bit hidden near dollar tree, across from El Pollo loco and next to Boards and Brew. The parking here can be a bit tricky, but what lacks with parking is overshadowed by Enzo and his team. I was having issues finding my reward for a free slice of cake on my Paris Baguette app, and he was helpful in assisting me. Such a nice soul. I chose the blue berry yougurt cake and decided on Halloween to also purchase a vanilla latte and received free pastry also on my app. Win-win! Everything was delicious! The cake was shared with my mom since she did have a big part in bringing me into this world ;) along with some persian tea as we chit chatted a bit later that day. The cake was fluffy and light. Filled with fresh fruit, and heavenly. I would buy this as a full cake any-day! The pastry was consumed a day later, strawberry croissant with custard and even a day later it was equally yummy! 5/5!! read more

I go to Paris Baguette frequently, various locations around socal. This location on a Saturday afternoon was fine, but many pastries were sold out from the case. I had a deal for BOGO croissants and managed to grab the last 2! This was my 3rd time at this location. It's just OK. At Paris Baguette overall, coffee drinks are tasty (they use Lavazza, which is excellent). The matcha is a pre-sweetened powder so cannot get it less sweet. Would be better if it was an unsweetened powder that could be adjusted to taste. My only request is to please add decaf espresso! All the similar pastry places have it. Lavazza makes decaf espresso, and this would be an awesome addition to PB locations. For now, I don't order coffee drinks here but my husband likes them. read more

This place is great lots of parking easy to find. Their sandwiches are always on point even when you place a large order, they always have it done on time. Never disappoint. The service is great. The ambience is wonderful. Staff is very friendly. Thank you. read more

The store is wonderful itself, friendly helpful staff etc., clean, spacious, tons of free parking. But the desserts, pastries themselves.... Eesh just NOT good. I'm not a huge foodie, but I've been here a couple times, and I'm super super disappointed by the dessert quality. It's like I don't know if they don't use real butter or ingredients or what, it's not sweet enough. I got the carrot cake yesterday. It was the worst carrot cake I've ever gotten- super dry, not moist at all, bland bland bland, I got some cream strawberries pastry and the fruity pebbles donut with custard inside. I had like one bite of everything and threw it away. The Korean salad was yummy. And it's not cheap either. Want a good carrot cake? Go to Whole Foods literally. Way cheaper and way better no comparison. The Bread on the pastries itself is fine, but overall it's super not tasty. Don't waste your calories on this. Sorry, it's just soo average, like it doesn't satisfy your sweet craving at all. read more

It was the end of the evening so things were limited , The staff was kind to help make good choices and there were a good group sharing stories over yummy pastries - we will be back read more

Great place for French pastries. I'm Lebanese so I have to eat this stuff at some point cause I'm also French Canadian. I did not love the coffee last time but also coffee kinda makes me sick anyway so it's up to you. I'm not gonna rate it for the coffee, but the pastries make up for whatever failings the coffee may have. I'll let someone else talk about the coffee another review sorry I just wanna be honest with you get the pastries my advice maybe hot chocolate instead of coffee I haven't tried it so I don't know but I also don't wanna lie to you guys. read more

6 stars. I get birthday cakes here yearly which should say enough. But Yesterday before noon. I had a personal issue at the store which the 2 female front/cashier/Barista employees handled kindly and compassionately and without judgement. Having employees like them is a credit to anywhere they work , live and walk among with. I apologize for forgetting their names. But I know they are simply called the sisters (Alexa ?) Can't wait to come back soon. -R read more

Came here to pick up some goodies to enjoy after a day at a lunar new year festival. Paris Baguette pastries are pricey but delicious ! I would give it a 4 for overall value but a 5 for how delicious the pastries are. I purchased a good variety for the gathering and everyone enjoyed them! I usually only come here for special occasions or if I'm visiting family or friends otherwise they are too expensive for everyday treats. read more

This is my favorite Paris Baguette location! There is decent parking, though getting out of this lot isn't super fun. Inside, the cafe is beautiful! The blue tiling and Parisian aesthetic (including French music) really makes the ambience. They have plenty of seating at the front of the shop, and there is an additional seating room in the back, as well as an entire patio. They have plenty of product, even when I visit in the mid afternoon. I also think their display setup is very appealing. They were out of wax paper on my latest visit, but they were also just extra busy due to it being Valentine's Day. The ham and cheese croissant is divine! Their oven wasn't working on my latest visit, so I ate it warmed up via microwave and it was still delicious. Highly recommend! read more

I came by Paris Baguette to pick up some pastries for an early morning meeting. I quickly had the idea that I probably should have two trays since the first tray was out of room after a handful items. Fortunately the carry-on out box was bigger and largest enough for all my selections. It was cool to see bakers making cakes behind the glass. I was annoyed when I went to get napkins only to find the only dispenser was empty. I let the cashier know but he was the only one at the register so I had to wait for someone else to refill it. He put in one pack, enough for my need, but I suspect it won't last long. read more

When you spend $100 on cakes and pastries, it would be nice if the pastries don't expire the same day as the scheduled pick up date. Poor oversight and I would like a refund honestly for the pastries. The cakes are good and pretty but nobody wants same day expired pastries and I was too busy to notice. read more

A good bakery with assorted French and European pastries. I usually have a croissant or pain au chocolat. Recently I noticed they aren't as crispy and layered as they once were. On the other hand, they have added several new items with custard and cream fillings. It is worth a try if you are into the dessert type of pastries. Good café ambience and prompt staff. read more

I placed an online delivery order that included a chocolate cream bread, a hash brown bread with ham and cheese, a pumpkin scone, and a 20 oz iced matcha latte. The hash brown bread with ham and cheese was the highlight--savory, satisfying, and a perfect breakfast choice. The iced matcha latte was also excellent--light, creamy, and balanced with just the right amount of matcha flavor. Easily one of the best I've had. Later in the day, I enjoyed the chocolate cream bread as an afternoon snack. It was just sweet enough to hit the spot without being too heavy. The next morning, I paired the pumpkin scone with coffee. It was delicious, though a bit smaller than expected for $6.62--I was hoping for a more generous portion. Overall, I really enjoyed everything I ordered, the timeliness of delivery, and would definitely recommend this spot for both sweet and savory options. read more

Nice cozy location with friendly staff and delicious coffee . Recommended if you are looking for place to do some work and enjoy delicious goods with good coffee. read more

Really awful experience here. I tried to save time by ordering ahead. Big mistake. They didn't start half of my order until I got there. Including the bacon egg and cheese croissants which they lazily pulled from a refrigerator case next to me. I was shocked. First that the bacon egg and cheese croissants were given to me cold and secondly that they were so behind on my order. There was absolutely no one else in line. To make it worse, they forgot one of my orders even though I told them I gave two orders and gave them my name. When I realized they forgot my second order I had to wait while they made my second order in front of me. The idea of order ahead means they won't be ready on time, they will probably forget part of your order and the food will be sad and incredibly overpriced. Oh and they were out of 2% milk but of course don't tell you that when you order. Big bummer. read more

I am giving it a two star because I like the pastries they sell BUT the last time I was there made me sick to my stomach. I entered the bathroom to wash my hands and apparently the toilet was broken and full of potty. I assumed they were not aware BUT they were with no concern and didn't bother to lock the door or place a sign on it. I wonder what else they overlook... bathrooms are a big indicator of how a restaurant is run. read more

We bought this Tiramisu cake and it was delicious! The balance of the airy cream, and the bitterness of the coffee was the perfect balance. What I like about Paris Baguette is that their desserts are not too sweet and are very light. You don't feel heavy at all when eating their desserts and pastries. I also like how Paris Baguette has great service. They provide a cake slicer and candles as well for the cake, which is very convenient and helpful. The packaging even includes a spot where you can strike the match. Overall I think Paris Baguette cafes are clean, provide satisfying service, and the way they present their food items is very appetizing. read more
