I've experienced numerous times and can see why a lot of yelpers reviewed about the "mean old lady" hahaha. She really is very rude and up her own A$$ Food is not good enough for me to keep coming back and put up with it read more

Diggin this place, but CASH ONLY! read more

Good pandan desert. Good string coffee. Good casava cake. Quick service. I will come back

Get the egg bahn mi with Chinese sausage. So good and warm and easier on the stomach if you're considering a breakfast burrito. The eggs are always so fluffy and perfect. The bread and toppings are also top notch. The lady who's always there is so sweet. The grilled pork Bahn mi is also great. Meat isn't hot tho which is fine but good to know. Vietnamese coffee is also great. Hidden gem. Cash only. read more

Loved their Banh Mi Bread always fresh and crunchy. Quality are consistent every time Their pate so are good too read more

So I've been to this place maybe 3-4 times before my last visit, and those previous visits were good. I like their baguettes and packaged pastries. However, my last visit ruined it all for me. It was around November when I came in an hour before closing. A lady stood by the door and I asked her if they were open to confirm. She welcomed me in and I ordered a pork Bahn Mi and Vietnamese coffee with boba (which I've had before and it was delicious). I was so shocked when I saw her pick up a sandwich that was just laying on the counter by the register, open it to check that it was pork, then hand it to me. It was cold and I don't know how long it was sitting there. When I've ordered before, they made me a fresh sandwich so this seemed odd. She went in the back to make the Vietnamese coffee. Whatever she handed to me was not boba... I've eaten boba a few times a week for years, and I can even enjoy old soggy boba if I'm desperate. I can tell you that no boba I've ever had tasted like this -- it was like small, shriveled raisins with a weird bite (had a skin on it like a grape). I ended up pouring out the boba and just drinking the coffee. I have no idea what happened that day but I can't go back. Confrontation is hard for me so I didn't say anything. read more

Was in the area yesterday to attempt to get some car repairs done. Looked up some places for coffee. Lots of mostly Asian places in the immediate area. Perfect! I want me some Vietnamese coffee! Seriously, I only meant to get an iced coffee but couldn't NOT get a sandwich. Their bahn mi is excellent (I got the BBQ pork) and such a great deal at $3.50! I also bought a pan au chocolat and one with strawberry filling. Both were very good and could definitely compete with some of the very same pastries I've had in Paris and other parts of France. But this place has bahn mi, and those real French bakeries did not. So this place wins. Just kidding. Apples and oranges. I didn't notice if there were tables and chairs to eat there, but I wasn't really paying attention because I was getting my stuff for carryout. I think a lady asked me if I was in line when I was looking up at the menu...and I think an older lady behind the counter asked me if I needed help (both in Vietnamese) people tend to mistake me for Vietnamese but I'm not Vietnamese. However, it's entirely possible that they weren't speaking to me at all! Yes, the world revolves around only me. Once they realized that I couldn't understand them, they probably started talking shiz about me anyway. Why am I even talking about this? But OMG their iced coffee is so very, very good. Minus 1/2 a star for not filling it up to the top (will post pic), I had to ask someone to fill it up. Minus another 1/2 star because it's cash only. It was sheer luck that I actually had cash on me. There weren't any prices on anything on the shelves, nor anything on the tables. I probably would have bought some stuff if I didn't have to ask about prices. Bottom line, if I am ever in the area I will stop in again for bahn mi and pastries and especially coffee. read more

Paris Bakery - It was given to me like this. Had to ask them to put more in there. :( - Bakeries Near Me - San Diego, California

Smells amazing but cash only. Walked in and the people behind the counter just stare, don't acknowledge you at all. Plenty of parking.

My family really enjoy their Banh Mi. My favorite are Egg + Pork Roll; house special; and Pork skin. I also like grass jelly, green jelly, and three color dessert. read more

Has these people ever heard of mask and gloves in a pandemic workplace. That old lady has no gloves and no mask. The other staff same thing and their talking so loudly which can spread covid easier is just too unsanitary for me. Never coming back, although the food was great. I took like 2 bites. I don't know what those staff have done. read more

I came here for a big order of Ham and Cheese croissants for my company. I don't live in the area so the lady working there was really nice in helping me decide which pastry would be good the next day. They even let it cool down before packaging so it looked nice and fresh, and HUGE. I picked up my order a little early so I really appreciate them doing the best the can to make sure the order was correct and packaged nicely on a busy Sunday. The only con is that this place was a little hidden and it's not the nicest looking place, but that is okay. Each ham and cheese croissant was $2.00 read more

Went to get some bread and ice coffee. We came into the place they did help us right away, but when we got our ice coffee. It wasn't even a full complete drink. It looked like someone drank my coffee The plaza parking sucks a lot. The other business owners in that plaza are rude as hell. read more

Paris Bakery - Bakeries Near Me - San Diego, California

Love this place. Their milk tea is better than most, I like that I can taste the perfect blend between the tea and "the milk," for a lack of better phrasing. The staff is pretty friendly, and their sandwiches are made quick and delicious :) My favorite is the chicken sandwich, so definitely check that out. I docked a star because it was "cash only." Overall, definitely a place I would frequent. read more

***I'm giving this place a 4.5 stars*** I've been here for over three times already and I may have found my new favorite banh mi place! I was never into banh mi in the past because some Vietnamese bakeries are very inconsistent about their food prep methods. Paris Bakery's banh mi on the other hand always has the right amount of flavor to their sandwiches and their toasted and fresh bread just hits the spot. The only cons I have for this place is that it's located in this sketchy/ small shopping complex lol and that it can be stuffy inside during the warmer days. But other than that, I'm still going to go here for my usual order (#3 - Grilled Chicken Banh Mi). read more

Came here on a Weds morning at around 10:30am and ordered 9 of the combo sandwiches. The family and I ate it that night for dinner after we toasted them. One of the BEST Viet sandwiches I've had in a while. Where else could you get 9 sandwiches made in less than 10 minutes!!!! Amazing. Everything about the sandwich was well balanced - enough mayo, veggies were flavorful, it was spicy but not too spicy and it had ample filling. I had to leave a sandwich behind to my family because my hotel didn't have a fridge and I totally wish I had it the next day while waiting at the airport, lol. read more

My first time buying at this bakery , the baguette was very fresh and tasted delicious. I tried Banh U for the first time , sticky rice pyramid with pork inside and one with sweet coconut , since I am not Vietnamese it's a different texture for me but the taste was very good . I will go back for the baguette and other baked items that looked so good . The price is very fair. Parking is an issue and exterior of the building need some care . It's a very low key bakery with decent food . The Vietnamese sandwiches ( Banh Mi )also look very good , I may try them next time . read more

Rude and bitchy people working here. Would give 0 stars if I could. NONE of the employees working here were in compliance with the CDC enforcements to wear a mask. No one was wearing gloves and who knows if they washed their hands or not. Gross. Skip this place unless you want COVID, and a bitchy people taking your order. Definitely not worth it. read more

I grabbed a couple of banh mi's (the special and the bbq meat ones), some pate chaud pastries and a coffee from here and can't complain. The banh mi's are delicious with the bread being the star player. It's crunchy on the outside with enough softness to not scrape the roof of your mouth and the inside is soft and fluffy. I'm not too fond of the dense centers of baguettes so this was good. The cafe sua da was strong and it gave me life! The abundance of ice in the cup helped ease the richness of the coffee as it melted. The pate chaud's filling was slightly bland but nothing a little sriracha couldn't fix. The pastry shell was perfectly flaky and layered. The storefront is simple and had a variety of food items for purchase. Definitely recommend checking it out. read more

Don't let the look of the plaza or parking lot where this bakery is located turn you away! THE most delicious "chicken pie" which is similar to a British sausage roll. They also have AMAZING French pastries such as their pan du chocolat. This will be a regular stop for us. read more

This is the best place in town to go to for your French baguettes. Especially the the small baguettes to make Banh Mi. They are the vendors to most Asian grocery stores in town or it's Jho's Bakery. But Jho's doesn't sell to the public. And I definitely prefer Paris Bakery over Jho's Bakery after having tried both baguettes now when I picked some Jho's baguettes from a nearby grocery store. But come early because there is usually a line at Paris Bakery and they go fast, especially on the weekends!! read more

The senior lady owner is not friendly at all. I fell like i asked her a sandwich for free. The store looks unclean in processing area

Bought their dessert and the beans in it were rock hard. Their banh mi was only ok, nothing to write home about.

Went to buy an egg and chinese sausage baguette. The lady at the counter asked me to pay $4.50 while the TV screen on the wall said $3.75. Either they raise the price without noticing people or they just tell you different price depends on their mood and whom they serve. Really no big deal for me to bring it up to her, but I started not to like this place anymore. Their business hours are also random, they close and open as they're pleased, did not follow the time on the door sign. One time I came at 4 PM, it said closing at 5 PM, but they ve already closed. The food overall is ok, if you need a quick bite on the go, had not tried anything else except baguettes. read more

I'm a frequent visitor, and so is my mom. I originally gave Paris Bakery a 5 star, but I've noticed the older lady is not that nice to my mother. I brought this up to my mom and she told me the story of how a gentleman let my mom go in front of her and the lady started giving my mom an attitude for cutting. I don't like that. In this town, business is competitive and customer service is essential. Also, it's a good rule to treat people nicely, period. I don't like the blatant disrespect my mother just experienced and have taken two stars away. The food is still delicious, but how can I enjoy it and promote it when my mom has to deal with attitude? read more

They have Banh duc la dua!!! So good and cheap!!!! I don't have to struggle in kichen for hours to make this savory snack any more. Yay!! The store is simple and clean! Menu with picture is easy to order. Cash only. :( read more

Tried this place out a few times. Food is okay. Beverages are good. Parking is tough. I don't understand why some customers still park illegally along the gate fence blocking other vehicles when there is clearly parking spaces available. That's how accidents happen! Recently heard that this location was under inspection and was shut down for the weekend. I saw that they were open again for business the following week and decided to walk in for a drink. Aside from order a beverage, I noticed the interior was definitely being worked on and that the food was thoroughly sealed than before. So I assume progress is being made. This place has so much potential if it was renovated properly. read more

Really cool little bakery doing what they do best. No matter what I get in this place it never lets down. Customer service is on point too. I highly recommend this place. Whether youre just picking up a couple baguettes or a banh mi, they got you covered. read more

nasty vietnamese ice coffee. not even vietnamese coffee more of a carmel latte. should've just waited till a chau opened

Paris Bakery makes the best baguettes in all of San Diego. However, I am giving them 1 star because they don't take the pandemic seriously. I stepped into the building today and noticed that all the workers either had no mask on or had their mask hanging at their chins. San Diego's pandemic issue is in the orange tier, but people's irresponsibility might revert the condition back to being severe. read more

My wife and my mom wanted to try the charbroiled pork so I ordered 2 charbroiled porks and 2 specials banh mi. When I got home (12 miles from the bakery) we got 2 grilled porks instead. We had the grilled porks before and it's not that good. I went back to exchange and even told the lady I live far away. She explained she thought she heard me ordered grilled porks even though I ordered in Vietnamese and she still charged me $1 for the difference. Beside this incident, their special (dac biet) and charbroiled pork (nem nuong) are very good. read more

5 stars for the baguettes, best I've had since living in France. They open at 5:00am, charge $1.25 per baguette and they are fresh every 30 minutes until close. While there, have a Banh mi sandwich on one of their fresh baguettes, for $3.50 a sandwich you may have just found the best deal in town! read more

My family loves their baguettes. Every time I head down to see them, they always call me up to stop by here so I can pick up a baguette or four along with some Cha. It's a steal buying the items separately as opposed to going to a place like Kay's sandwiches and buying their sandwiches. For a baguette, it'll cost you $1.25 and it's probably equivalent to 3 banh mi baguettes. Then the cha will cost you around $4 or 5 dollars. I can't quite remember the exact price, but if you're a hungry hungry hippo, I'd swing by here and buy the stuff to make your own banh mi for more bang for your buck. Also, an advantage of getting it here is that you can make it whenever you want. The cha will stay in the fridge for a week and still be ok. I don't know how safe it would be to eat banh mi that's been in the fridge for a week, but that's just me. Last note: CASH ONLY! read more

I am soooooo lucky to live nearby this spot!! As a true European bread fanatic, I have been looking around to find my perfect loaf in the city. However, it wasn't that easy as I thought it would be. Vons and other regular chains would have daily ''fresh'' bread that taste very chemical. I also tried stores such as Sprouts and Trader Joes ,but found out that the consistency of their breads were way too hard (broke almost my tooth). I also gave some Mediterranean stores, but it was all on the weak side. Paris Bakery has some of the most authentic breads around here. The name of the Bakery is well chosen, because when I make my sandwich at home, It feels like I am biting in a piece of France. read more

I love this banh mi place because the customer service is always good. In addition, their banh mi are cheap compared to other banh mi places! read more

Nothing impresses the ladies more than a guy with a big baguette... except maybe a big baguette stuffed with Zappos gift certificates. I had gone to large market for bread earlier in the week, and it was rock hard the next day. So I stopped by here on a whim and found they had amazingly huge French loaves for a whole 5 quarters. Dr. Atkins would be horrified! read more

this review is only for their sandwiches (bahn mi). I ordered the #1 with extra pate. The flavor was good, the bread was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Why only 3 stars you ask?? Well...they added WAYYY TOO MUCH mayonnaise on the sandwich that I basically ate a deconstructed bahn mi. I threw out the piece that had the mayo AND they didn't even give me extra pate. Did they hear me wrong or just failed at making my sandwich. Would I try this place again? Maybe but won't be rushing to go back. read more

This place is fantastic. I am so glad to find it in San Diego. I dont live in San Diego myself but I do go down there quite often to visit my sister, and when I'm in the area I like to go here for my sandwich and coffee fix. They have big selections of banh mi, desserts, teas, and other vietnamese goodies. I heard their breads are baked fresh everyday and the food is cooked to order. Havn't tried the food yet but I'm looking forward to it on my next visit. Prices are very affordable. A great place for grap-and-go food. Yummy in the tummy that doesnt ding your wallet. The Banh Mi Cali of San Diego!!! Service is always great and fast. Love it! Easy five stars. read more

Was driving east on El Cajon Blvd. heading out for some Pho when the Grand Opening banner caught my eye. I stopped by and was pleasantly surprised to see that Paris Bakery had expanded their operation to this new location. They provide the Baguettes to many Banh Mi sandwich shops in San Diego. The service is great the selection is very good and then value is fantastic. A Combo Banh Mi a foot long with 3/4 of pound of meat and toppings for under $5.00. A number of store owners came in to buy 1 - 4 dz. baguettes freshly baked while I was sitting there. There is a nice selection of hot food on a serving line with a wide selection of hot and cold blended drinks. They offer quality and value with excellent customer service. I will be back. read more

What a gem! Excellent and cheap bahn mi sammies (I order the chicken & hubby loves the #1 "special," which features an amalgam of unknown meats--we don't ask questions). Their house made bread is outstanding. We've also enjoyed their croissants, madeleines, and some of their speciality bakery items. Friendly and efficient service. Love how they're always serving up different things in the case (I recommend trying the green coconut croissant thingy if it's available). read more
