I ordered a strawberry crepe yesterday, and unfortunately, the experience was very disappointing…read more The service was poor. I stood at the pickup area for several minutes while three employees were behind the counter. One of them looked directly at me while drinking water but didn't even greet or acknowledge me, and the other two never seemed to notice that someone was waiting. It felt like no one paid attention to customers at the pickup station unless they walked over to the ordering counter. I wasn't helped until another employee came out of the kitchen to assist a different customer. She then went behind the counter, chatted briefly with her coworkers, noticed me waiting, and finally asked if I was picking up an order. The food has also changed. I used to buy the strawberry crepe for my daughter almost every weekend because we loved it. This time, it was soggy and overwhelmingly sweet, with far too much topping and syrup. It no longer has the same quality it used to. The omelet was still decent and about the same as before, but the cappuccino was bland and forgettable. Nothing about it stood out. Based on this visit, I won't be coming back. It's disappointing to see both the service and the quality decline from what used to be one of our favorite places.

The service is always good, i love that she hired all the diversity of peoples from different background and personality. There are seatings to dine in but most of the time i come for a latte to go but always break my diet because the food it too good to not add on.

I was sad to see that they don't offer 'housemade' pastries anymore, as I remember seeing in their past photos; their menu for their offerings was clearly updated. In addition, the drinks that we ordered were just not good at all: +the Toasted Marshmallow Latte - prepared with 2 shots of espresso, choice of milk, and a housemade toasted marshmallow syrup; this tasted like watered down coffee with no 'toasted marshmallow' taste; coffee could have been prepared strong, and we did ask for 'extra hot', but received it regular temperature +Witch's Potion - an apple cider with chai, topped with a dash of cinnamon; probably one of the worst ciders we've had - wasn't really sure the mixture with the chai, but this just seemed like it was an improperly steeped tea that did not have any flavor The staff were friendly, and there seemed to be local patrons who come here on a regular basis. The blue mobile truck is very cute, and they had some seating available with nice fall decor. I'm glad I was able to check this place out, but no dice, Bear and Swan. +watered down lattes +avoid the ciders +friendly service +updated schedule on their social media

They have a small seating area where you could have your coffee and pastry with a friend.

Shared parking lot in strip mall setting. Plenty of inside seating and a few tables outside that see covered as well. Service is quick and very friendly.

Would be a good hangout if I lived in this neck of the woods!

The mushroom coffee was the standout -- not too sweet, not too earthy, just right. The avocado…read moretoast, though, fell flat. The avocado was spread so thin it wasn't even a smash, and it could have used some extra seasoning -- salt, pepper, maybe -- to bring it to life. Underwhelming for a menu centerpiece. The carrot cake fared better, moist and well-spiced. Two more things kept this from five stars. Gluten-free eaters get exactly one option -- the carrot cake -- while the zucchini bread and the rest of the dessert case all run on flour. A café this charming could do more there. And the table service ran cold. The food got dropped at the table with no check-in -- no "anything else I can get for you?" -- just gone. Still, the space, the theme, the coffee, and the carrot cake earn a return trip. Four stars.

My husband likes the little sugar donuts, they are very tasty. All of the danishes and croissants are fantastic. Well made,a lot of butter. The apple danish/turnover was my favorite. My mom loves the Portuguese egg tart. She gives it one of the biggest compliments - it's not too sweet. My dad enjoyed the more savory items (ham and cheese croissant). All their cakes look delicious, I haven't tried any yet but I think next time there's a holiday, I'll definitely stop by. They also have a lot of drinks i have yet to try. It's never been too busy around 8/9 am on a weekend morning, and the employees are very nice.

We love the location in…read moreAnnandale, and my family is very happy to now have this beautiful, clean, and delicious place a walking distance from our house. It's become very popular very fast though, so it's hard to find seating most of the time unless you go on a weekday morning after rush hour:( Two things I would recommend are adding more seating (perhaps even outdoor seating for the summer?), and having smaller trays/paper plates as options. Some of the tables inside are tiny, and the large trays barely fit on them, so it would be great to have a smaller option, especially when you're only getting 1-2 small baked goods. Very excited to have this yummy cafe in the neighborhood and hope the quality stays amazing!

The tiramisu wasn't for me though, too heavy. I also tried the fresh mint lemonade, but it tasted more like a store bought mix with a few mint leaves tossed in. Service was fast! Staff was nice and helpful! Parking is plentiful here, which is a huge plus. It's a great spot to hang out with friends, relaxed vibe, good for catching up over cake and drinks. Also, don't forget to download their app before you go, you get freebies and discounts! Definitely worth checking out.

First things first: clearly the camera did not eat first here, and honestly, that tells you…read moreeverything you need to know. We tried three items: the red velvet cake, the mocha cake, and an apple pastry (not sure of the exact name, but it reminded me of an apple turnover/empanada). Let's start with the red velvet cake, so good. Moist, flavorful, and honestly better than I expected. Red velvet is one of those cakes that's easy to mess up, but they executed it perfectly. What impressed me even more is that we bought it right before closing, didn't eat it immediately, and it still tasted amazing hours later even after being refrigerated. The mocha cake was well-made, soft, spongy, and clearly high quality, but it just wasn't for me. It has a strong coffee flavor, so if you're a coffee person, you'll probably love it. For me, it was about a 6/10. Now the real star: the apple pastry. This was everything. Perfectly flaky, lightly crisp on the outside, and filled with fresh, flavorful apples. It melted in your mouth! could've easily eaten multiples of these!! Service was also a highlight. Even though we came in right before closing, the staff was kind, patient, and efficient. Nothing felt rushed, which I really appreciated. The shop itself is cute and quaint. Perfect for a quick stop or a casual treat. Overall, Paris Baguette delivered. Some items may come down to personal preference, but the quality is there. I'd absolutely go back, especially for that red velvet cake and the apple pastry . Sidenote: they also have candles & birthday decor for purchase!
