A lovely way to spend the afternoon. I stopped in for a quick lunch. Grab a tray, a piece of wax paper, and tongs and get in line. They offer beautiful displays of pasty and treats both sweet and savory. They have a small variety of prepared salad and sandwiches. They also offer a seasonal themed menu including sweet and savory items. The coffee bar offers just about anything you can think of in the way of coffee and tea. I added a chicken salad sandwich on multigrain bread and a palmier to my tray. I worked my way up to the counter to pay and ordered drinks. I added a strawberry mint lemonade to my order. The sandwich was absolutely delicious. Juicy chicken, crisp English cucumber, and a soft bread. The palmier rivals the ones in Europe. I also grabbed a few goodies to take home. They were met with rave reviews. The space is casually elegant with comfortable chairs and cozy tables. The noise level was pretty loud, but I was in during the lunch rush and the place was bustling. I found the team to be helpful and knowledgeable. The only note is that this place is located in a strip mall sharing a lot with several other businesses. During peak times, I foresee parking being a challenge. read more

Paris Baguette - Chicken salad sandwich - Bakeries Near Me - Olivette, Missouri

My mother found this bakery, and I was entrapped. I love strawberry lemonade and the addition of mint was perfect. Delicious! I also got a loaf of cream bread which is also delicious (and I'm not a bread lover). The Pineapple Brûlée pastry and berry honey yogurt was a delicious breakfast. I enjoyed the fact that this was not overly sweet and filled me up for the morning. I also ordered a piece of Tiramisu cake which was good, but not blow me away good! Again I am partial to brownies not cake but it was better than most slices of cake I have had. Staff were friendly and helpful and the hours are great. I didn't expect them to be open into the evening nor to have such a wonderful selection at that hour and was delighted by both. If you are looking for a bakery/cafe that has amazing pastry and drinks and sandwiches that sound especially delicious, I highly recommend giving this place a try. read more

Paris Baguette is in a great location and perfect to stop in for fuel before running errands. I'm excited there's now a few options in St. Louis of this self-serve French/Asian bakery concept. They had endless options to try from desserts to savory to breakfast sandwiches to sweet pastries. I tried the sugar donut, plain croissant, cinnamon apple pastry, and (not pictured) a Korean Milk Iced Coffee and an egg salad sandwich. While a cold sandwich may not be the first thing you'd think to try here, it was surprisingly impressive because it was served on their fresh soft baked bread slices. It was an extremely long line. The first Saturday morning, we saw the line wrapped around the building and gave up. The next Saturday we arrived earlier at 8:30 AM, and the line was still out the door but more doable. Once inside, the line moved slowly and it was very cramped due to the line location. It was tricky to browse all the pastries since the line was blocking most of the case in addition to the staff refilling cases in the same area. The service at checkout was friendly, but slow. It appeared the staff is still getting used to recognizing and ringing up all the different pastries types. Overall, I'm sure those service snags will get smoothed out as they are open longer, and I'm glad to have Paris Baguette as a new full service breakfast option. There's so many choices and pastries to try which gives me a good reason to come back again! read more

Paris Baguette has been around for a long time, even longer than Tous Les Jours, so I was really happy we finally have on in St. Louis. I went to their soft opening at 7:00am and was glad I got there early enough to avoid the long line. Since it was opening week things were a big chaotic. I think they need a better system. Maybe two lines: one to pick out pastries and another to pay for the pastries. Some people waited in line and didn't get to look at the other side because they were worried about losing their spot, while others got their pastries and then had to go back in line behind those who are still waiting to get pastries. It was a bit messy, but I guess that's what soft openings are for. Hopefully, they'll sort it out soon. Anyway, I bought about $70 worth of pastries and two cups of lattes: (total $90-ish). Everything was good as usual. I've always thought Paris Baguette has great flavors, while Tous Les Jours has great texture and chewiness. Paris Baguette has more savory items, while Tous Les Jours has more sweet. Both are balanced well. I can't say which one is better, but having both nearby is definitely a treat. Now all we need in St. Louis is a few HMART stores. :) read more

WOW! I've never seen a bakery quite like this where there's pastries everywhere. Pastries up top and below, pastries at the checkout, display cases, etc. is. I'd compare this to a candy store but the pastry edition. There's literally something for everyone. I browsed the menu prior to coming in so I'd at least have an idea of what I wanted. While I thought of getting a sandwich, that quickly changed once I saw the croissants. To start, get a tray and tongs and cover it with wax paper. Once you're finished with your selection, you'll pay at the register. I scoured each aisle, each time thinking I was getting something until I saw something else. I managed to pick up a pre-made chocolate chip cookie, since you know, I have a wicked sweet tooth. All in all, the croissant and cookie set me back $8.35. It's less than what I was expecting but fair for the price point. When I was checking out, the person next to me asked to get their pastry warmed, (which I was unaware you could do), but I quickly followed suit. The first few bites of my croissant exceeded my expectations. It was flaky yet soft and was pleasing to the taste. My only complaint is that I wish there was more chocolate on the inside instead of just the drizzle. Some tips if you're wanting to come here: -arrive early! The parking lot was almost full at 7:45 on a Saturday morning. Do with that what you will. -Take your time and look at each pastry carefully bc I promise you're going to see one and think that's it, until you see something else that changes your mind. -it's a Korean bakery, so don't be afraid to try something new! read more

The pastries were good. I especially like the choux cream bread. Parking on day two was limited due to a lot of people. The line to checkout was long and slower. Probably still a learning process. There was no seat after we checked out to dine in. The owner gave us her table and moved her laptop etc which was nice of her. Overall, I will be back for more pastry. read more

I went for the soft opening and did anticipate the crowd but there was almost no parking spot left... I got the last one. The cashier was nice but there wasn't someone walking around and explain it to first time people. I think that would help. The line was long regardless though. There's decent amount of tables and chairs but it was so crowded I took the pastries to go. They have pastries, bread, sandwiches, cakes, drinks, etc. We got a variety of pastries and my husband wanted the grilled cheese (which they will warm up for you). The cream on the berry danish was great flavor and texture. I give them a 4 because there were a lot of empty trays and I couldn't get what I wanted. read more

It was super busy on a Monday around lunchtime. So many great pastries to choose from, employees were wearing gloves and cleaning cases! They were all extremely friendly with smiles on their faces, answered questions and were great interacting with customers. It was cute like a little cafe, a little loud just because of how busy it was. read more

Every time I pass by this place, it always looks crowded and the parking lot is full. I went there in the late afternoon, and there were still plenty of empty seats available. The desserts were all pretty good -- my favorite was the fruit tart with lemon cream. The service was also fast. I'd definitely come back if I'm in the area again. read more

We stopped by around 2pm on a weekday but they were packed! We got a hot chai latte, a strawberry soft cream cake slice and smoked sausage bread. Service was friendly and fast. The long queue at check out moved pretty quickly. I already see myself came back here for their cakes. read more

I'm used to Chicago's Paris Baguette, but I was really excited for this one since it's the first location in St. Louis. Went about a week after it opened and the hype was very real. Friends of mine waited around 20 minutes but I think I ended up waiting closer to 30 to 40. Just something to know going in, though I'm sure it'll die down once the newness wears off. I got a good mix of breads and pastries and also tried the basil lemonade which was really refreshing for a hot summer day. Prices are a bit higher than Tous Les Jours if you've been, but it's not too shocking for a korean bakery cafe like this. The interior is really nice and there's plenty of seating inside. Outside seating is pretty limited, only about 2 or 3 tables, but the indoor space makes up for it. Parking was easy. If you can, try to avoid peak hours. But even with the wait I was impressed by how efficiently they were running things and how frequently they were bringing out fresh pastries. For a brand new location still in its opening buzz, they were handling it well! I'll definitely be a regular here. read more

I recently visited the new Paris Baguette in St. Louis, and it absolutely deserves five stars! From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was warm, clean, and inviting. What really made the experience stand out, though, was the incredible service. The owner was genuinely kind and welcoming, taking the time to make sure everything was perfect and creating a really positive vibe in the bakery. You can tell they care deeply about both the customers and the business. A special shoutout to Tyler, who went above and beyond with his friendliness and attention to detail. He was patient, helpful, and made great recommendations. It's not often you come across service that feels this genuine. Of course, the pastries and drinks were just as amazing--fresh, beautifully presented, and delicious. This place is a fantastic addition to St. Louis, and I'll definitely be coming back often. Highly recommend! read more

The array of deserts and sandwiches can be practically overwhelming. Everything is always so fresh and tastes so good. I am loving the Sticky Milk Buns and the Mint Strawberry Lemonade was interesting in a very satisfying way. I have enjoyed a few pastries from here and plan to try some more. The Korean Grilled Cheese looks exceptionally tasty. For my sandwiches. I ordered a Egg and Cheddar Twist Roll. It was quite good. Nice and got, crunchy, crispy. I would definitely order it again. I don't know if it's because they were so busy, but I had to go to the counter to ask how much longer, then remind them of what k8nd of sandwich I had ordered. But it was out in a few minutes and the gentleman quickly brought it to my table and apologized. I will add, if you are someone or know someone easily overwhelmed by noise, this may not be the best place, without headphones. It is very noisy, from the staff calling out order to the guests chatting about the yummy food and talking when seated. A definate must try!! read more

So excited they opened up a location here especially because it's extremely hard to find almond croissants around STL. The pastries were phenomenal and so was their coffee. They use Lavazza coffee which is great quality. Highly recommend going early in the morning before 8 or during the week. There was no available tables which as expected due to the recent opening. I just wish they did a different layout like some other locations where people don't have to line up when coming in or Maybe move the tray area to a different spot. read more

Music was way too loud can't have a decent conversation in this place unless you sit on the patio. Pastries and Donuts looked pathetic compared to other Paris Baguette locations I've been to. The fact that I travelled 2hrs is insane for the quality and not everything was available at 10/11 in the morning. I only gave one star because the service and the friendliness of the staff was amazing. read more

Went today on mothers day and the place was slammed it was around 1:00pm and they wer out of about 40% of what was in display cases. You stand in line and pick what you want and then go to one of the three registers to pay. From start to finish was about a 30 minute wait. Food was good and the people were nice. The pricing was a touch on the high side i thought but not outrageous. I really liked rheir plain old black coffee. I will try again on a different day to sew how it goes read more

This was my 3rd visit and the quality of the food has went down. I'm in love with the Strawberry Mochi Donut the first time it looked like the pictures on the menu. After that the icing doesn't look prepared as it should be I could see and taste the grittiness of the powdered sugar. Also they looked pink and not red with the glossy look. I'm utterly disappointed is there not anyone making sure the quality of Paris Baguette products are up to its par standards before placing them in cases for the one up by Chicago always have the Mochi Donut looking spectacular. read more

We ordered the "Celebration Cake". The best part of the cake was the chocolate button with 'Paris Baguette' branding. The cake looked exactly like the photo on the website.The vanilla cake had no taste. All you could taste was the butter cream icing. A few peaks on top of the cake were pure butter. Go down the street to Costco or Dierbergs for a better cake. read more

I have been waiting 2-3 years for this place to finally open. My first visit did not disappoint. Quality was fantastic. Staff still learning but overall good service. Can't wait to go back. read more

Visited for the first time the other day, got there at 6:20am. They opened at 6am. Workers were in our way still putting pastries out in the cases and so the selection was limited. Coffee was disappointing, I ended up throwing it away. Tasted like milk, did not taste any espresso. The guy ringing us out didn't know what he was doing, yes he was probably still learning which is fine but he was also wasn't friendly at all. Never smiled, never said thank you, nothing. read more
