With a name like Paris Baguette one would surmise that this is a company originating in France.
Well, while it may be inspired by the French, it’s actually Korean. Merilynn has been to some of their locations in Korea.
I was surprised by how many people were here. Yes it was a Sunday but this is a brand new building with not easy access. But it was packed. Usually a good sign.
Cinnamon twist donut
This took me back 20 years to my early days as a baker. I don’t see this type of donut around much anymore and even less often a good one. Double thumbs up.
Fresh Fruit pastry
A nice flakey puff dough with custard and look at all that fruit. It was quite nice, though I think the custard isn’t made in house.
Ham and Cheese croissant
Beautiful big croissant that was very flakey with massive crumb. Very nice. We should have brought two.
Butter Pecan donut
Fresh yeast donut with lots of butter pecan filling. A little too much filling for me personally but I would guess most people wouldn’t complain about that.
The flavour combination worked well. The butter icing was really tasty.
And yes I did buy a baguette.
They only had about 5 for sale though. It’s more a pastry shop than a bagetteria.
This is my bruschetta on their baguette.
It was fine, but I do prefer a thicker baguette for Bruschetta. Better to hold the toppings.
We both had iced vanilla lattes. Which were good, but we had ordered hot ones. I guess they can’t get everything right.
Is Paris Baguette worth a visit?
Absolutely yes. For the pastries and the coffee.
I’ll go somewhere else for a baguette though.
