This French-inspired bakery and café in Old Town Clovis captures the romance and refinement of a…read moretrue Parisian pâtisserie. From the moment you walk in, there is a sense that baking here is not just a craft -- it is an art form. There is something magical about stepping into a French bakery, and Parisien Bakery delivers that feeling in full. The French have elevated baking into a cultural experience of indulgence and beauty, and it is on proud display here. Approach the glass case, and it feels like browsing a gallery of edible masterpieces: pastel-colored macarons stacked like delicate jewels, glossy fruit tarts shimmering under the lights, and éclairs lined up with precise elegance, each filled with silky, decadent cream. Sweet Highlights The sweet selections are where Parisien truly shines. Standouts include: Sweet crêpes Éclairs Macarons Croissants Maple cronut Fruit tarts Turnovers Each item showcases careful craftsmanship, balanced sweetness, and visual presentation that rivals high-end patisseries. Their French Roast coffee is bold, robust, full-flavored, and always piping hot -- the perfect companion to any pastry. Savory Options On the savory side, the breakfast sandwiches, omelet croissants, breakfast popper, and the Parisien sandwich are all solid and satisfying choices. While well-prepared, they do not quite reach the same magical heights as the sweet offerings. The croque monsieur and croque madame are especially intriguing and worth trying on a future visit. Atmosphere & Experience The ambiance is cozy and charming, laid out to be reminiscent of a sidewalk café in Paris. With both indoor and outdoor seating -- including street-side dining -- it is an inviting place to linger. A glassed-in kitchen allows guests to watch pastries being crafted in real time, adding a layer of authenticity and appreciation for the skill behind each creation. Warm, friendly service rounds out the experience, making it easy to see why this bakery remains a local favorite. Parisien Bakery is not just a place to grab breakfast or dessert -- it is a small escape into French culinary artistry right in the heart of Old Town Clovis.

The coffee here isn't as flavorful as Chez Maryse either but I did like that there's more vegetarian options, the prices are decent, and food not too greasy. While I was too stuffed for dessert, I was told that desserts are tasty. It's not a big place so on a cold day there are very few tables inside. But it's still a decent place for brunch while exploring Downtown Clovis and just across the street from the most bomb antique shop :)

My dad made these for me as a kid and anytime I see them in the wild, I have to try it. The bierocks made were just ok. The pastry is great, but the filling was a little bland and way too heavy on the cabbage. But what the bierocks lacked, the donuts made up for by a million! We ordered a cruller, maple, glazed, old-fashioned, a glazed twist, and a chocolate cake doughnut. Just based off our order, you can tell there were no children with us, lol. The cruller donut was perfection. Airy and super soft with it almost melting in your mouth before the first bite. The old-fashioned donut (which are my favorite) was incredible! It was surprisingly light, for a cake doughnut, and had a thick layer of maple glaze. I think the layer was about an eighth of an inch, which for icing is bonkers. Even Peter North himself would be humbled by this glazing technique. Is this the most unassuming donut shop in all of the land? Maybe not the land, but at least in Clovis. Live in the area and love donuts? Get here now!

Love the cream puffs here since they're usually not too sweet…read more I don't come here often but when I do, it always is a hit.

The interior isn't eye catching, but the cream puffs here are very good…read more I ordered five puffs a s'more, honey, matcha, strawberry, and the cookies and cream. The total was about $26 which is expensive, but the quality is there in both flakiness of the pastry and the cream inside. You can mix and match the cream you want each puff filled with. I went with vanilla across the board except for the cookies and cream, loaded it chocolate. They were all very good, except for the matcha. For some reason it had a fish smell and flavor. It wasn't just me, other people who sampled this felt the same... wth? The honey puff was my fave and filled with vanilla cream, it was amazing! Highly suggest this place as a dessert spot for events!

The layers are perfectly crisp and buttery, and they are incredibly generous with the nuts. Every bite is rich, fragrant, and perfectly sweet without being overwhelming. What makes it even better is the experience: the owners are some of the kindest, most welcoming people you'll meet. You can truly feel the care and pride that goes into what they make. If you're a baklava lover, this place is 100% worth the visit. I will be back!

We made a stop here because my kids LOVE Turkish delight, but they can also be extremely picky lol. We got a small mixed container and they absolutely loved the pomegranate and rose petal. Just the right amount of tart and sweetness! My daughter loved it so much she has been asking if we could stop back on our way home to pick up more. We also picked up knafeh and diamond shaped baklavas. Perfect chew, crunch and sweetness. So freakin' good! You can tell the owner is passionate about his craft. He asked us if it was our first time there, then took the time to share samples with us. So welcoming and friendly! I can see why this place has a nearly perfect yelp rating. Will definitely need to make a trip back!!

The chai late is really good too, iced and hot. Its topped with a thick whipped cream and the drink is filling. The only area this place seems to fall short in is the food.

Their Cinnabons are delicious, soft and truly satisfying. That's why it was especially disappointing when a birthday cake my husband surprised me with didn't live up to the same standard. The cream had huge chunks of butter, which made the texture unpleasant, and the cake itself was quite dry. This experience with the cake left us feeling very saddened and hoping it was just an exception rather than the norm.

Like pork buns are 3.00 cash and 3.09 credit card. But at least that's an option now. Warmly greeted and helped at the front counter when I walked in. Looks like a traditional Chinese bakery with their decor and set up and heard the front counter lady say their food is more based on the south side of China. Their steam pork buns will always be a favorite. I was lucky enough to walk in when they brought out a fresh new batch so it was still nice and warm when I got home. Dough is sweet and fluffy with their bbq pork filling. For 3.00 a bun, it was quite smaller than I remember. The ratio of the dough and filling was also not as portioned. Some bites you just get the dough. First time having their steam chicken buns and was surprised to see that it was sliced chicken with veggies and a slice boiled egg. This was not it for me. It was like eating a stir fry in a bun. Though this bun was bigger and more portioned than the steam pork buns. This was also my first time trying their Shumai dumplings. The flavor was there. A nice umami flavor. But I was missing the bouncy texture of the meat. And for 4 for 7.00 they were pretty small (compared to the dim sum places). Looking forward to trying other others on their menu now that the menu and signs are easier to see/read.
