Grilled cheese

Had the vegetarian sandwich on crispy sour dough.... Delicious!!! The food is so very tasty and the place is always full of locals.

Still an awesome bakery with amazing food I mean the display was bursting with things we've never seen before. We got so many things! Homemade marshmallow, pizza tart, chouette, kouign Amman, strawberry cake, chocolate mousse, lattes-- everything was fantastic. The service is impeccable. They are so nice there although they did forget to give me my avocado toast, which I actually forgot to list here so must be something about avocado toast that's forgettable although they tasted wonderful. The ambience is great awesome place parking. We got lucky with rockstar parking, but it's not usually easy because it's a very popular street.

Croissant and an Almond Chocolate - 5 stars!
Cheryl M.

Visited the bakery today (2/12/26) to grab some canelés, lemon meringue tart, vanilla flan...and of course that almond and chocolate croissant! All wonderfully delicious! Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. I'm definitely a fan! Plenty of street and lot parking nearby. _______ A friend treated me to some of the most wonderful croissants without having to cross the bridge. What one expects from a well made croissant with its rich, buttery, airy, soft interior with flaky exterior, Maison Benoit makes these so calorie-worthy and worth the price tag! I do have my favorite spot in Albany/Oakland but the almond chocolate croissant has me craving more. Oddly, I'm usually not into chocolate croissants but Maison Benoit makes a good almond chocolate ($7.50) with chunks of quality chocolate vs a paste piped down the middle resembling a tootsie roll...not good. Looking at the Yelp pics I may have to make a trip and pick up a bunch of goodies! I'm eyeing a ham and cheese, caneles and of course, anything with custard!

Maison Benoit has become too trendy given the quality which is just so-so. Expect long lines. The butter croissant is $4.50 and the croque monsieur which was always traditionally an affordable French meal is $13.50. Seating is limited.

Met a friend in Danville for a quick run and decided to grab coffee afterward. She mentioned a new café/bakery called Maison Benoit, known for their delicious croissants. As soon as we walked in, we were greeted by a beautiful display of pastries and sandwiches--and a line of eager customers, which is always a good sign. We ordered two lattes and croissants, and wow... it honestly tasted like we were in France. Everything was fresh, buttery, and perfectly made. Definitely a spot I'd go back to again.

Beautiful bakery, with delicious and fresh baked goods. I ordered a chocolate croissant and it was flakey and good, but wish it had more chocolate, there was so little! Looking forward to coming back to try the other stuff when I'm in the area.

Paris Brest
Jamee S.

I was here last year and had a slice of Galette Des Rois. It was delightful and delicious! I didn't know it was seasonal!!! Well, here I am. I ordered a 6-person cake before Christmas and picked it up today. I. Am. Prepared. I can't wait to eat a slice!!! To tide me over, I bought an éclair chocolat and a Paris Brest for the family to share. Because my New Year's resolution is to enjoy life! I live to eat!! The service here has always been great! There's usually a line but patience is a virtue. They have a system and if you follow along, you'll be out of there quickly. I try to pronounce the name of the pastries in French but if it gets butchered, it's all good. The staff can probably guess what you want. If there is a line, there might not be a place to sit. They have indoor and outdoor tables. Everything here is amazing! They have savory bites as well. The baguettes and loaves of bread are fantastic! The owner is French and his bakers are French who are trained in France. The butter and cheeses are imported from France. So you're practically French when you walk in the door! Can't say enough good things about Maison Benoit.

Kouign Amann: Flaky, but a tad tough and dry, needs more flavor. Pain aux Raisins: A bit anemic, needs more flavor. Canele: Dry, no carmelized taste, no custard. Needs more flavor. Spinach and Feta Quiche: Flat, not fluffy or silky. Waited for it to come to the table for a like warm bite. Matcha Latte: Barely any matcha and was lukewarm. Needs more matcha and flavor. Great spot for Danville, pastries look great, but disappointing overall. I expected more deliciousness and decadence or some wow factor. The name was captivating. Very average.

Three steps

I decided to try their much hyped croissants. On a sunny Thursday morning got a close parking spot .This morning cafe pastry spot is much liked by the Danville locals and the busy atmosphere shows it. I was kinda in a hurry so I just ordered a chocolate croissant like $5 , it made an absolute mess in my car . These are delicious but the chocolate in the middle while tasty was small ,very decadent chocolate. These type of thing are better eaten like the outside tables. For my first impression of this place was it was good but I need to try the sandwiches to make a final final decision. One thing that stood out was the "NO CASH ACCEPTED" . It just shows the sign of the times , I understand it speeds up the line and better for safety purposes. I have lived here in the tri valley for quite some time and drove by this place and never once noticed this place really hard to notice as the sign just blends with the buildings this a good thing and a bad thing I guess.

Came back here recently with the parents to grab some ham and butter sandwiches, croissants, salmon quiche, and a Matcha latte. This place is always pretty lively and crowded. Of the times I've been there's always been a line. But the folks behind the counter are very friendly and efficient. The line was pretty fast. Another great visit. One of my parents' favorite places.

Lemon Meringue Croissant
Richard H.

Located on Railroad Street, which is the heart of Downtown Danville. This is a must visit award winning, French bakery. Known for their delicious, crispy croissants. I recommend their regular croissants, but their lemon meringue is absolutely amazing! I also tried their savory hot dog croissant, which was more like an Italian sausage, spicy and juicy. They can heat up this dish for another 5 minutes delay, but worth the wait. Be sure to enjoy a vanilla latte with your pastries.

Pain au chocolat
Dalal J.

This place is as pretty close to the real deal that you are going to get. The line was out the door at 2pm. When I walked in I was amazed of the display of all the yummy pastries! I ordered the chocolate croissant which was perfectly flakey and chocolate inside. I would have liked the flakey-ness to go all the way through and a little more chocolate, but it was still great The Carmel cookie that my daughter had was beyond amazing! Chocolate chip toped with dollops of salted Carmel. Hard to finish alone but so good!!!

Smoked Salmon Tartine
Kevin G.

Salmon tartine is the bomb! This place is exceptional and never disappoints. Service is superb. Subtract 1* for the $4.50 can of Coke, which is a ridiculous gouge.

See all

If you know, you know. The pastries here are absolutely worth the detour--and honestly, wherever I see a Paris Baguette, I do pull over. That includes locations I've visited in Northern California, North Brunswick, New Jersey, Atlanta, Georgia, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and even the one here in Charlotte down in Pineville. It's a bit of a drive for me, but when I'm in that area, I always make a point to stop in and pick up a couple of their delicious croissant-donut pastries and marzipan or almond croissants. That's the beauty of this bakery--it's a chain, yes, but the consistency is what keeps me coming back. I have yet to be disappointed. Of course, I had to stop at this Hilton Head location--and I didn't come empty-handed. Food connects people, and bringing pastries to your host is always a winning move. I picked up three different varieties of their famous croissant-donut style pastries (similar to the well-known cronut): * Chocolate * Tiramisu * Mango And I added two large almond croissants that were beautifully filled, flaky, and indulgent. Everything looked fresh, full, and irresistible. The setup inside is easy and efficient. It's self-serve: you grab a tray, line it with parchment, use the tongs, and select whatever catches your eye--from baguettes to cakes to coffee drinks. Checkout was quick, Apple Pay was accepted, and the whole experience felt smooth and well organized. The space was clean, friendly, and inviting, with plenty of outdoor seating. Bottom line: Whenever you see a Paris Baguette on your radar, pull over. It's dependable, delicious, and perfect for picking up pastries to share--or to treat yourself. For me, it's one of those rare places that delivers the same quality every single time, no matter the city--and that kind of consistency is something I truly appreciate as a traveler and lifelong foodie.

Also had picked up a slice of their tiramisu which was okay. There was just something different to the taste/quality. St least there wasn't a piece of plastic in it like last time.

Limited selection, but solid classics: kouign-amann, croissants, morning buns, bear claws, and quiche. I tried the ham & cheese croissant, and it was right up there with many of the top pastry spots in the Bay. Really well done. What surprised me most was the coffee. They don't serve drip, so I ordered a $3 large Americano--and it ended up being the highlight. Smooth, rich, hot, and just a touch of half-and-half made it perfect. It has a nice neighborhood feel, and most of the people inside seemed like regulars. A simple, friendly spot worth stopping by if you're nearby.

Less like a donut shop bear claw and more like an almond croissant; with almond paste inside, a touch of cardamom, and caramelized, crispy "claw" edges. Second fav...any of the quiche. I usually get one of the 4 vegi options but the ham and gruyere is no less delicious. Minus one star because the line on the weekends moves very slowly - but it's a very small shop with room inside for just 3-4 people at a time. Work on the street is that they are moving across the street soon, next door to Sideboard, and will have much more room then. I can't vouch for the coffee because I don't like coffee but I hear it rivals any of the other coffee options in Lafayette. Wish I had pics to share but they are in my belly. Bon appetit!

Tori was so accommodating with my request and promptly delivered the goods in adorable packaging. These were also unlike any cupcakes we had ever had; they were so fluffy and soft, and filled with cream instead of iced outside. They were truly delightful and made a wonderful birthday present.

Recently, I finally splurged and ordered something for myself! A Mystery Box. In it, I received a lovely variety including 3 matcha cookies, and 1 each of berry, matcha sesame, and citrus madeleines. My favorite was definitely the cookies, I enjoy matcha in general and thought the combination of matcha with chocolate was a tasty and creative one! They were sweet but not too sweet and had a great chewy texture that held up well in their journey from SF to NYC. Overall, the customer service is prompt and the goodies are clearly made with care. I appreciate that shipping is available nationwide and that the delivery cost is incorporated into the menu price so it is easy to mentally calculate my total bill. Glancing at the menu, you can tell that After By Tori is pricier than your average bulk box of cookies at a grocery store, but you get the high quality that you pay for :-) They are open and receptive to feedback on their products and packaging as well. On social media, you are gifted with the additional treat of behind-the-scenes photos and videos as orders are being fulfilled and new recipes are being explored. I'm looking forward to seeing (and tasting) what After by Tori creates in the future

I had signed up for the store app. and decided to hit up their store here in Pleasant Hill, CA for a preview. There were some mixed observations for my 1st visit, which explains my 3 star rating (think a grade of C, C+ or possibly eeking out a B-, idk?). Parking's a snap behind the store in a large lot and free for up to 3 hrs. Upon my arrival to the street facing storefront, I encountered 3 of the 4 entrance doors locked from the outside. Gadzooks! How the heck do you get inside this security zone of a store, lol? Finally entered through the 1 unlocked door after naturally trying all the others first . Once inside, it would've been nice to have been greeted/welcomed by a host or floorperson for those of us unfamiliar with the store concept or the procedure of how you serve yourself. As you walk in, there's cafeteria-like trays, tongs and tray liners to your left. You grab this setup to begin your pastry and goodies selection. Pretty much self-serve from there until you queue up to pay. There's also a self-service ordering kiosk inside and you can order ahead on the Paris Baguette app. Speaking of the app, it pays to install it on your device as doing so entitles you to a free pastry with purchase upon your 1st visit. Anywhere from a $3.99-$5.99 value this is, so nothing to sneeze at. And they send you other freebies & deals through this medium also. Pricing for your basic pastries: Think Starbuck's prices + 15-20% or thereabouts. Not sure how the rewards system works here yet or how it might stack up to the aforementioned Starbuck's program or others? The pastries: Oh so good! Definitely no complaints here. If not for them being a bit on the pricier side, as alluded to already. Warm, flaky & fresh out of the oven. Parisian style. Definite niche appeal outside of your random donut shop or Starbucks' offerings. I did not try any of their different beverage options like coffees, teas, lattes or frappes this visit. No doubt this chain will succeed, as is evidenced by their rapid store growth, "newness" of the brand/concept and customer popularity. My pastry choices were the Pain Au Chocolat and the Pain Aux Raisins. One being the free one with the promotion. 10 out of 10. They also do whole bread loaves, cakes and other confectionaries + special orders. Pretty much a full service bakery, Paris style. And if you're sugar and/or calorie cautious, this bakery will no doubt appear like a mine field, lol. Everything in moderation I guess as the saying goes? It's a winner overall. Subtractions for the Fort Knox-like entrance issues and a lack of customer intro-greeting. It looked very popular inside for an early Saturday morning.

The icing had that perfect texture and was cinnamon sweet. It was amazing! I live in Seattle and it was for a baby shower in Oakland. I was nervous because I've never ordered a custom cake before, I was doing it at a bakery I don't know in a city I was visiting and needs it dropped off. Alexandra eased any worries I had and made the experience memorably wonderful. The shower wasn't going to help traditional - not a drop of pink or blue so I wanted to give some direction on what I was hoping for. I sent some images as a reference and Alexandra offered input to make sure we were aligned. She then created something that went with what I was thinking, but it was even more beautiful. I know I am gushing, but I can't help it. If you are looking for a special cake that tastes as good as it looks, use Salted Holiday!
