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!

Located in a more industrial area of Springfield, you can find random eateries and cafes around. We ordered: +a latte with oat milk +and, a Mexican Mocha - prepeared with espresso and Mexican mocha mix, topped with whipped cream and chili flakes Both drinks were not piping hot and more lukewarm; the whipped cream was artificial, and the chili flakes seemed old and expired as it had an off-putting taste to it; both drinks had a weird aftertaste and as just not enjoyable. The place itself is set up nicely, with a few tables and large buckets of coffee beans. Parking was easy, as there are plenty of spaces in the spot. +not-so-great coffee +parking available

I personally think the ube matcha cloud is the best but the others are great too! The strawberry flavor could be a bit stronger though. While they have gone viral for the matcha drinks, that's not the only thing they offer. They have a wide range of coffee and tea drinks that are also solid! The coffee flight is also really great! Definitely worth a visit if you're in Annandale.

LOVED this place!!! The concept is pretty cool, who isn't obsessed with matcha at the moment? And…read morewhat better way to indulge yourself than with sampling a few different matcha teas all at once. We opted for a sampler for 2 people, and it could have easily been shared between more. I was definitely sugar/caffeine high after the tasting. The standout for me was the coconut matcha! Absolutely delicious and the perfect balance without it being to sweet. Seating can be limited and we did have a hard time finding parking in the lot over the weekend. Service was nice and attentive. Overall a great experience!

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

Place is spacious and has a nice ambiance. We ordered two lattes, one pistachio latte and the other a pink blossom latte. So happy that so many places offer non dairy options for the lattes. The server suggested we get them iced as they are topped with a sweet cream. Both were yummy and not overly sweet. We also ordered the croissant pudding and BLT. I love bready desserty food that is not too sweet. It came with some syrup as they advertise it as tasting like French toast. I had it without the syrup as it was sweet enough without it. Hubby had the BLT which he really enjoyed. Cute spot, bigger on the inside than it appears from the exterior and friendly staff.
