I got a quick glance and what was available so I knew what to get so that I wouldn't feel pressured once it was my turn. There were so many different baked goods to choose from! Although, I decided to get a paczki since I usually can never get them when they are available because of work. I got the key lime and strawberry one. Both were delicious. I had one the same day and the other one the next day and it was still just as good! I'll have to come back to try some of the other baked goods!

Worth a stop…read more Another more recent example of what you may find in a contemporary Paris pâtisserie/boulangerie but delivered by this self-described French Asian corporate chain. According to staff this chain is popular in S. Korea so they decided to try the concept here. The interior is rendered in warm, soothing tones. On a cold, windy winter day though, it was a bit chilly as there is no vestibule. Cold wind can rush right in so we picked a spot closer to the self serve line. Partially self serve, you pick your delectable delight. Coffee/beverages are ordered at the counter with juices in the refrigerated case. The food was good, still fresh. Perfect for a dip in your coffee. Prices are comparable to a Starbucks so you can easily drop $20 but it's nice treat. I would probably come back though if pressed to choose between alternatives I would choose this concept's direct competitor.

There are a few comfy chairs by the entrance. Tables for 2-4 ppl along the wall and a larger table in the back. Great place to have a quick meeting or small study group.

I've been a longtime fan of Area 51 Cupcakery, so naturally, I trusted them with one of the most…read moreimportant desserts I've ever ordered -- a custom cake for my brother's first-ever surprise 50th birthday party. Two weeks before the event, I came in person with a printed cake design, a clear color theme (green, cream, and white), and a macaron accent order to go with it. I was flexible on the design details, just committed to the vision. On the day of pickup, I arrived a little late -- my fault -- but there was no cake waiting, and my order couldn't be found. Hannah behind the counter did her best, and when owner Robert walked in, I calmly explained everything from the start. I won't lie -- I was heartbroken more than angry. This was a big night. What happened next is why I'm writing this review. Robert and his team didn't hesitate. They snapped a photo of the design from my phone, asked every detail, and promised to make it right -- with Robert personally delivering the cake to the venue (thankfully just 5 minutes away). And he did. He showed up with the cake designer in tow and delivered something truly stunning: a handsome, elegant cake that fit the theme perfectly and genuinely wowed my brother and guests. And the flavor? Their Atomic. Banana (pudding), strawberries (jam), and chocolate, vanilla & banana cake. YUM! It was incredibly moist and delicious. What could have been a devastating hiccup for such a milestone night became one of the most memorable parts of the celebration. That's a testament to Robert and his team's character, dedication, and craft. Thank you, Area 51 Cupcakery. We've loved your cupcakes from day one, and this experience only deepened our loyalty. We'll always come back.

Yuuuup, I'll be here on a monthly basis. They also have a punch card system. Every 12 cupcakes will get you 1 cupcake for free. The inside is super cool, there are numerous spots for photo ops and they even have a ring light and camera holder if interested in using it. My first time visiting I tried the following cupcakes: chai pumpkin latte (daily special and DANGGGG DELICIOUS), Almond wedding (my least favorite but still good, I think almond cupcakes just aren't for me), cookies and cream (divine, rich, 2nd favorite), and the Boston cream (also 2nd favorite lol). All of the cupcakes were moist, fluffy, and full of flavor. They are made daily and you can feel and taste the love. Area 51 is definitely my favorite cupcake spot of all time. I've gone to Area 51 probably every week since finding em and I can't get enough. They also made cupcakes for my baby's gender reveal. They were extremely accommodating and everything turned out perfect! I highly recommend them for custom cakes, cupcakes, or even just grabbing 1 of their daily made cupcakes. SOOO GOOD!

He said they were ready to go when he got there to pick them up and so far the two he's eaten (red velvet and Blondie) were really good. Mine (chocolate chunk and chocolate PB cup) were good, but these are definitely made in the Crumbl Cookie mode where they're sort of...underdone? Which is weird to me. The peanut butter cup one had a gritty texture as well, so the sugar and butter likely had not been creamed together enough. 6 cookies cost $24 (we picked it up; delivery would have been more). A few of the cookies we bought were more expensive than the baseline cookies, and my husband also had them wrap each cookie individually so we could store any leftovers more easily.

The directions for the flow of traffic can be confusing especially if you aren't familiar with this area. They do have 15 minute parking out front but I've noticed a lot of people parking there but their cars are parked for hours. Back to the important stuff.. this spot is small and does not have any seating but there is an area to stand where you can enjoy your sweet treats while facing the window. Truly? I think that's all you need. The staff member that helped my husband and I was probably 1 of the nicest hospitality peeps I've been around. He was extremely nice/friendly and made me feel like I was family. Since it was my first time there he explained what they offered and how they offer it. He even opened up the heaters for where the cookies are kept. Everything was clean and looked great. I went with a seasonal cookie, pumpkin chocolate chunk and also got a scoop of their cookies n dream ice cream. LOVED. Flavorful, sweet enough and just reallll good. I also got a white chocolate macadamia but cookie which was also delicious. Pricing is on the higher side but thankfully the portion is large as well.

Naperville location…read more Bottom Line: The food hall version of this concept is not the same experience as the stand alone location, though the food quality is consistent. I sought out this location since I definitely liked the Glenn Ellyn, stand alone location (See my review for that location). I did not realize it until I got there but this location is located in a food hall, a part of the H-Mart Asian grocery chain's delivery concept. The scaled down, food hall version, in line with, and surrounded by the sights, sounds, and aromas of a great but distracting variety of Asian food offerings, distracts and dilutes the impact of the distinctly different "Paris Baguette" concept (One of these things is not like the others). I will say that the food was good and I would say consistent with the stand-alone location; however, the highly eclectic mix of eateries, in an open food hall, obliterates the more authentic visual and environmental feel of a modern Parisian pâtisserie experience that is delivered by the stand alone store. In recently reviewing Paris Baguette's direct competitor and similar concept, basically across the street from this location, I opined that I would choose Paris Baguette if pressed to make a choice between the two; however, not In this particular instance/location. I get wanting to proliferate the name and concept in the market but, in my opinion, the food-hall version dilutes and detracts from the nice experience of the stand-alone store. If a stand-alone opens here or near, I would come back.

It was midday and I was feeling a little hungry too so I was glad to see that the pastry cases weren't completely wiped out and a couple of ham and cheese croissants looking just too good to pass up. Staff were all really nice and on top of everything. This is more of a grab and go location but you can definitely sit down and enjoy your drink or a meal at the shared food court seating if it's not too busy. The latte was a little too on the sweet side for me but the flavor was good. I would say the croissant was the highlight of this visit though. Perfectly crispy and flaky with a good amount of filling too.

We called the bakery during the busy holiday season, and despite the high demand, your team was kind enough to fulfill our order for his post-holiday birthday. The cake was perfect: perfectly moist, with the ideal balance of apricot and raspberry jam, and just the right amount of chocolate--not too thick or too thin. It was a huge success, but more importantly, your kindness in making it happen was the greatest part. The entire staff was sincere and helpful.
