We came here today to pick up an order for a pumpkin burnt almond cake for my birthday. My husband…read moreordered it for me, but I wanted to come with him to see what other goodies they had to offer. This was both our first time coming here. We used to shop and order our cakes from Dick's bakery, up until they burnt down. We loved their famous burnt almond cake. When I heard that Peter's makes an excellent burnt almond cake, as well, I knew that's where I wanted my birthday cake to come from. When I opened the door, to enter the bakery, a fresh smell of baked goods and sweets hit me in the best possible way. It smelled like fresh maple glazed donuts. I love that smell. We were warmly greeted by the staff. It wasn't busy at all, so we took our time looking for other sweets to purchase. They found our pre-ordered cake and they did a wonderful job decorating with a cute pumpkin on the top. We also chose an apricot danish, a maple bar and a raisin snail. The prices were very affordable and reasonable here. I really loved how all the pastries and cakes. were displayed in their cases. Everything looked amazing. They even sell fresh loaves of bread and rolls. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. We were immediately helped with a smile. I love the old fashioned vibe in here. Both pastry and cake boxes were tired up with sting, to properly secure our box. We paid for our goods and hurried home to try a few of them. The maple doughnut was good. I loved the icing better than the doughnut itself. The apricot danish was delicious and so soft. The apricots on the top were not overly sweet, which I prefer. The pumpkin burnt almond cake was so good. The cake was so soft and light with a wonderful pumpkin flavor that reminds me of fall. The frosting and custard filling paired perfectly with the pumpkin cake. The caramelized almonds covered the entire outer cake and offered a nice flavorful crunch. The whole thing works perfectly. I didn't even know you could get the burnt almond cake in pumpkin. A huge thank you to my friend John D. for letting me know about this limited time fall flavor. We will definitely be back for more soon.

On September 4, 2026, I ordered and paid for my mother's 96th birthday cake--a burnt almond cake--a day in advance. When I arrived to pick it up, the line was very long, and the wait took far too long. Unfortunately, the cake itself was unbelievably dry and crumbled with every bite. After recommending Peter's Bakery to family and friends for many years, I was embarrassed to serve this cake. Sadly, it took away from a very special birthday celebration. I hope Peter's Bakery improves both its customer service and the quality of its cakes.

The display case showed all of the pastries they had available. I went to the counter and ordered a little of everything, just so that I could get a good feel for it. The only table service is they bring the order to you. I had an Apple Turnover, Ube Sesame Tart, Lemon tart, and a Mini Almond Croissant. These were house made and really fresh and excellent. They serve various coffee and espressos, If you are looking for a nice relaxing cafe with great pastries-Marvel is the way to go!

Holy moly, why didn't anyone clue me into this place?! This is a true Parisian patisserie unassumingly on the corner of Meridian and Hamilton in a fairly rundown strip mall.

This is for the Branham Paris Baguette location…read more It's conveniently located within the same parking lot as Sprouts. Though it's nice enough inside, it seems like an older location - fairly small, tables a bit worn. But the selection is good and service is friendly. I ordered the s'mores supreme croissant and a coffee. The s'mores croissant was good! Marshmallow filling throughout, approximately oozing out when you take a bite, chocolate on the top with graham cracker bits embedded in the chocolate. A nice version of a s'mores pastry. Coffee was good and it's self service, so you can get refills if you wanted. I ordered a small coffee, but they gave me a medium cup, so I didn't need a refill. I think if the tables and chairs were refreshed, that would be a nice touch, but the pastries here (including a berry tart we tried as well later) was as good as any other location, so no reason not to come here if you're focused on the food items

This is a small place tucked into a larger retail center. It's located next to one of their smaller lots, and there weren't any spots so I parked that one of the bigger lots in the retail center. It's a tiny shop with a handful of tables indoors and out. There doesn't seem to be a lot of pride and maintaining the space, it kind of gave me old-school donut shop vibes. I greeted the person out the register and asked them how they were doing, not a lot of personality coming back my way. It almost seemed like I was disturbing them. I went for a lox with the works on a toasted everything bagel. From the crunchiness of the bagel to the healthy portions of the ingredients, this sandwich held up to others that I've had elsewhere. I was surprised that my bagel and coffee came out to 20 bucks, which is definitely more expensive than I pay at some of my regular spots.
