The customer service was also great and everyone was friendly and welcoming. I got the strawberry matcha, and it was honestly so good. It wasn't overly sweet, and I could taste both the strawberry and matcha without either flavor overpowering the other. I also tried the milk bread with custard inside, and it was absolutely delicious. The bread was soft and fluffy, and the custard filling was the perfect addition. The prices are reasonable for the quality and portion sizes, too. Definitely a great spot to grab a pastry and a drink, and I'll be coming back to try more!

Such a fun and unique bakery experience!…read more Paris Baguette is a really cool Korean bakery franchise, and it's such a fun concept. When you walk in, you grab a tray and a pair of tongs, and you just go case by case picking out whatever catches your eye. Before you know it, you have a tray piled high with all kinds of unique treats! They have everything from cakes and pastries to breads, and a lot of savory options like pastries with hot dogs, plus sandwiches and salads to go. If I'm being totally honest, the pastries themselves are a bit light and airy for my taste, and they do leave a little bit of an aftertaste. But the sheer variety of sweet and savory delights makes it worth the trip. It's just a great, fun place to meet up with friends for coffee, grab some lunch, or pick up a box of treats to bring home to the Hubby! I'd definitely recommend checking it out!

This place is very nice. They really go out of their way to create the feel of a European cafe. The…read moremenu has a significant amount of French on it, and they play French language radio inside. I was hoping I could order in French, but they told me only the owner speaks it. The seating outside is also like what you'd find in Europe where there are many small round tables and wicker chairs facing the street. I would actually suggest going when it's nice enough to sit outside because the seating area is a bit cramped inside. I ordered a crepe and Liège waffle. Both were very good, although having spent a month in Liège before, the wasn't exactly what I was expecting. It was somewhere between a Brussels waffle and a Liège waffle. The former generally have many toppings, and this one had powdered sugar and Chantilly on the side. Liège waffles are supposed to be plain brioche waffles with little sugar crystals baked into them that you can basically eat with your hands. It has the texture of a Liège waffle, but not the sugar crystals (and not topping-less). It was good anyhow.

A lot of exquisite looking candies great for gifts. There's also a menu with coffee and sandwiches so it's also okay at lunch. Came in and it wasn't that busy to be honest. It's usually only a few people working here and it can be a wait to place an order. The prices are better on the beverages than the food which is pretty basic things. Certainly wanted to get a few things with chocolate. It's about $6 for a coffee. The one I got was the Mocha Beige Latte. Comes with a choice of chocolate. There's dark, milk, or even white. Food is okay. It's about $10 for the Avocado Toast. A rip off for a piece of bread. You can add an egg but it already costs too much so piss off. Among other items are croissants. These mostly have cheese, eggs, and ham. Got to say it has lots of chocolates. It's located downtown on Shermer at Meadow. There's plenty of interesting chocolates to enjoy and many of these are seasonal.

A small and unassuming strip mall spot with a lovely calming atmosphere. The front was under construction on this day, but they were thankfully open all the same. The girl at the counter was busy helping customers which was a perfect chance to peruse the options. Lots of range here, which I love. Little one bite treats, cookies and pastries, full cakes and slices too! I spotted an un-marked tray of cookies that looked nice, turns out they were soft ginger cookies with jam filling. Raspberry or apricot, and baked in different shapes so you know what's what. Clever... and delicious. The edges were definitely a bit dry but once I hit the jam it was perfect! I also grabbed a triple chocolate mini dome for later. That was quite good as well. Not too sweet, but velvety and flavorful. What's the next holiday I can use as an excuse to get a full cake? I'd definitely come back for a snack too!

Service was good quick and the place is buzzing it's busy it's inside a grocery but they do have their own store somewhere else.

They aren't just a grab-and-go place; they have several tables around and they have some food beyond the pastries. I saw them preparing a sandwich or two, and they had some pepperoni pizza and savory pastries when I was here. There's no dedicated lot, but there's street parking all around as well as a municipal lot or nearby and it's kiddy-corner from the Des Plaines Metra station.

It is a separate room that is big enough for over 50 people and has room for tables for gifts and food, as well as technology hook ups. On this particular night, there were at least six or seven different servings of food coming to the table that the staff here brought out. There are lots of options for refreshments as well, which was great to see, and the staff was super friendly and accommodating as always. I know the Filipino community absolutely loves coming here and I really enjoyed it too because it is an authentic true feeling.
