    After trying to submit an order with their competitor Starbucks around the way and being ignored, I decided to walk out and go to Paris Baguette. When I arrived, it was refreshing to be greeted with kindness. They were happy to help with bakery suggestions, and there was basically no wait time to order. The milk sticky bun was delicious! He warmed it up just a touch and each slice melted in my mouth. I decided to eat at the bakery, and it was quiet, clean, and peaceful. Great way to start the day, thank you!

    Paris Baguette is located in the Cary Village Square shopping center. It is known for its French-inspired pastries, breads and cakes. There is plenty of free parking. I wasn't sure what to expect when I entered, but the pastries are self-serve: you get a tray and tongs, select what you want, then go to the front to pay. The cakes and specialty items are in a case at the front of the store. Breads and pre-made sandwiches were available near the front. Coffees and teas are available too. I think every item on the menu was available, and someone was adding more items to the self-serve areas while I was there. I liked the variety of items. I went with a chocolate chip cookie, a pain au chocolat, a pineapple brûlée, and a salted caramel pretzel croissant crisp. The seating inside seemed small for how busy they were midday, but that might be the environment they are looking for. Next time I am in the area, I will try some other treats.

    Amazing little bakery. Great place to work or have a social call. Great pastries. They make my fav Chia iced latte! 10/10! You must try. Great service. 10/10 Everyone is kind and look happy to be at work! I'm here weekly. Support your local businesses folks!

    I am so glad Paris Baguette has made it to the triangle! This is a bakery and cafe that has a large case of breads and pastries to browse and select on your own. You pile up fancy rolls, croquets, doughnuts, croissants, and more on you tray then pay at then front where you can order some great coffee or tea drinks. Everything looks darling and tastes great. It's always a treat when we go here. Great for a quick bite or to try lots of new pastries and breads.

    Self-serve pastries

    Dropped by Paris Baguette in Cary on a dreary weekday evening for a quick pick-me-up. It wasn't too busy (just a couple of orders ahead of mine and a handful of tables occupied) but there was a steady stream of folks popping in and out. First impressions: Don't let the exterior fool you. Step inside and it's giving cute Parisian café decor blue, white, and black hues. My Chai latte was four stars. Smooth, flavorful, just the right balance of spice and creaminess. Loved it. The Cream cheese donut was Just okay for me so it gets only 3 stars (I like cream cheese on my bagels, but it wasn't a win on the sugar donut). I probably should've just gone for a plain sugared donut instead -- oh well, maybe next time. Now if you absolutely love cream cheese, please don't let my preferences sway you against trying it! I loved the variety of the pastries, but I'm not a huge fan of the self-serve situation or the single bag where your chosen takeout pastries are all placed (you could probably ask for separate bags if you don't want a sugared pastry touching your butter croissant, etc.), so I'm docking a star for that. At first, I was questioning people opening the display to serve themselves without any assistance from staff and so far away from view of the counter, but it was fine since everyone uses separate tongs. In terms of service, the young woman at the counter was welcoming, and patient. This is a nice option if you want something a little different for a casual pastry date, solo coffee escape, or even a light midday bite. I noticed they have sandwiches and parfaits for folks who aren't necessarily wanting a pastry. Just choose your pastry more carefully than I did. LOL.

    It's a bit intimidating when coming in at first. So many pastries to choose from. I got the strawberry croissant and the cream filling was perfect. I had initially planned on just eating half of it to save the other half for the next day, but I couldn't help myself from finishing the whole thing in one sitting. That's how good it was. I also ordered the salted caramel pretzel matcha latte and asked for a regular size. The staff gave me the largest 20oz. I was a bit confused since I was expecting a smaller size when I first tried to order from the app, but I heard him say the other size was 24oz so I thought 20oz was the smallest they had. Looking back at the app, they did have a smaller 12oz size, a 16oz size, and no 24oz size. Anyways, I just didn't drink the whole thing. The store is clean, well-organized, and the staff is friendly and efficient, even when it's busy. I wonder what they do with the pastries that are not sold by the end of the day / expiration date. They removed everything in the middle aisle pastry cases while I was there. I hope they don't just throw them away. They could probably use TooGoodToGo - just saying.

    Ham & cheese Pastery and Sweet Potato Bread

    The ham and cheese pastry was really good despite not having as much filling because the croissant was perfect. The sweet potato bread was personally not my favorite but was decent. The seating is a little crowded together but is not too bad.

    A new bakery option for Cary, Paris Baguette is located in a stand-alone building at the front of the plaza where Walnut intersects Cary Towne Blvd. Inside you'll find a long display case of all their sweets/pastries down the center and another section of breads/croissants. Up front you'll find a bunch of cool looking cakes along with slices. I tried their ham and cheese croissant, almond croissant and a slice of strawberry soft cream cake. All pretty tasty but not sure if I would call them standout. Paris Baguette also offers coffees and teas to enjoy with your pastries. A solid option for a leisurely snack!

    These are the pastries that I bought

    Food - 5 - It's Paris Baguette. I haven't had anything that wasn't good there in all the locations I've been to. Ambiance - 4 - coffee shop vibes. It can get loud. Perfect place to meet up with friends or to get some work done. Service - 2 - Meh. When I order pastries especially those with cream or powdered sugar, the other Paris Baguette in Brier Creek always boxes it up neatly...keeping the pastries separate as they should be. Here, everything I ordered was just tossed into a paper bag. Would've been better if the employee separated them with deli paper but that wasn't done. Thankfully these pastries are for our own enjoyment & not for a gift.

    If you come later in the day, almost All the good pastries are gone like special king doughnuts, cronuts, special mochinuts. I've been three times since they opened and I think this location attracts the king doughnuts and cronuts lovers. They need to make those more. I can't blame them. They are delicious. I got to try the mochi doughnut during the first week and I thought it was too oily than I'm used to from other PB. Maybe they were in a rush? But on my second visit I tried another mochi doughnut and it was better. It wasn't as oily as the first one. I can understand that they are still learning their equipment so it's all good. Improvement, so im happy! However, if you are not into the doughnuts, baked croissant based pastries, then you are in luck. Their croissants are nice and flaky, the pastry cream on point with the sweetness, meaning not sickening sweet like other places. Their nata de pastel is gorgeously smooth and delicious. I like the ambiance of this place. It feels like being in a European bakery with a twist. People are nice. So whether you are in Brier Creek or Cary check them out, try the doughnuts, croissants, or the Asian flair pastries, you might find you will be coming back for more.

    It's nice to have a new baked goods option nearby. I was looking forward to trying it out. Paris Baguette is still working on its customer service logistics here, and without improvement, its longevity seems doubtful due to the sparse courtesy in customer interactions. I went for the red velvet. They were sold old. I purchased the strawberry cheesecake and that was delicious and I tried Tiramisu Cake Slice that wasn't my vibe. I did not enjoy this one. Overall, I do recommend but perhaps when the newness dies down a bit.

    | Overview + Great variety of fresh pastries & cakes + Iced Butter Pecan Latte is delicious + Prime location in Cary, NC - Customer service lacks warmth - Seating inside can be tight during busy hours - More ideal for morning (& afternoon?) visits due to limited choices at night | Full Review Located in a prime location at Cary Towne Blvd., the newly-opened Paris Baguette is already becoming one of the hottest spots in the city for pastries, cakes & coffee. The South Korean multinational chain of bakery-cafes has over 4,000 locations worldwide & 200+ locations in the USA, and this new Cary location is just the 2nd in NC (The first one is in Raleigh). The Seoul-based franchise has set its sights on opening 1,000 bakery-cafes in the US by 2030, and I can see why after our first-ever Paris Baguette experience here. My girl & I arrived here around 6:30 PM, and we were surprised to see how the bakery-cafe was packed; almost all the seats inside were occupied. My girl got a tray right away, and got a $3+ coffee-flavored pastry. She was disappointed to see that the center glass case for baked goods was empty, so our choices were kind of limited. That's when we realized that it's more ideal to come here in the morning (and maybe early afternoon). There were no croissants & some of the other pastries left the night we went. The only ones left were mostly cream breads, red bean bread, and cookies. There's also a $4+ pepperoni cheese bread, which made me question, "Why would I pay $4+ for a small piece of pepperoni bread if I could get two large pepperoni pizzas in many pizza places for the same price?" My girl got a medium-sized hot hazelnut coffee & I got a large Iced Pecan Butter Latte. We were satisfied with our coffees. The pecan butter flavor was delicious, and it wasn't too sweet, and the amount of ice was just right. My large coffee cost almost $7 - a price that's worth spending on a rich boba milk tea, so despite how good it was, it's still as pricey as Starbucks. There were no major customer service issues in our first visit, but the frowny face of the cashier didn't match the inviting atmosphere of a classy bakery-cafe. We noticed there's an app for Paris Baguette so we'll try that next time. While my girl was waiting for our pastry to get heated, I was able to find a seat in between two occupied tables. Due to the limited space of its indoor area, the seating here felt cramped; seats were too close apart from each other, so it's not ideal for those who prefer to have a more private conversation with a date, as other customers could easily eavesdrop. There's an outdoor area but it was raining that night, so we had no choice but to sit inside. We enjoyed our coffee while we split the 1 piece of coffee pastry, which wasn't bad but it lacked the coffee flavor we were expecting. Knowing that wasn't enough, I went back to the pastry section and bought 1 order of the 6-piece Mini Grain Cream Cheese Pastry for $4.89. We enjoyed this buttery pastry more than the coffee pastry, and could see ourselves ordering this again. While it'll take us another -preferably morning- visit to share a more complete review of this sweet bakery-cafe, we learned one clear fact: Paris Baguette offers higher-quality items than Dunkin Donuts, Crispy Creme & Starbucks. No wonder it's rapidly expanding in America, and I wouldn't be surprised if the franchise hits its 1,000 bakery-cafes goal by 2030. | Overall Score: 4.0/5

    I love that this bakery is self-serve for such a vast variety of baked goods! They have a little something for everyone, sweet and savory; if you're not familiar with the set-up it might even be overwhelming how many options they have, but in a good way. The presentation is great: each pastry has a description card placed in front of the item with the price. You grab a tray, a sheet of wax paper, a set of tongs and start your pastry picking. (*I will say I was pleasantly surprised that ever single item looked well stocked- for noon on a busy Saturday, that was quite impressive!) We decided to purchase a variety and try a few bites of each: Coffee Croissant Donut, Ham & Cheese Pastry, Pastel De Nata, Sticky Milk Buns. Overall, sadly, not alot of flavor in most of the items. The best bite: the Ham & Cheese pastry- the Ham was smoky and top of the croissant was well seasoned. The pastel de nata was a mini pastry crust with custard- not much flavor. The Coffee Croissant Donut looked like it would be worth the million calories- coated in cinnamon sugar, with all the buttery layers & I didn't realize it was sliced in half, with a coffee creme in the middle! Sadly this was the most disappointing item, b/c it looked SO good... while the layers were quite buttery, it just didn't have much flavor. The sticky milky buns- a mini bread loaf, with a sweetened milk brushed over the top... tasted like really good Hawaiian Rolls, with a hint of sweet.. I recommend taking them home, slicing them up and toasting them in a toaster oven & having as a dinner roll- those were pretty darn good. The customer service was fast and attentive. There is seating inside and some seating outside in the patio as well. Overall, I would recommend giving this place a try- even if it's just to experience the unique nature of the cafe.

    Just a fraction of the display cases full of delicious treats

    Got it. Here is the revised Yelp review with the correct name:…read more My wife and I recently stopped by Once in a Blue Moon Bakery and Café in downtown North Carolina, and we left already planning our next visit. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted promptly and served with genuine kindness. The atmosphere is welcoming and relaxed. It feels like the kind of place where you can slow down, sit across from someone you love, and actually enjoy your coffee. We ordered an espresso, a latte, a chocolate croissant, and a lemon pastry. Everything was fresh. The croissant had crisp, flaky layers on the outside and a soft, buttery texture inside. The lemon pastry was bright and balanced, not overly sweet. The espresso was strong and smooth. The latte was well crafted and comforting. Service was quick without feeling rushed. The space was clean. The overall experience was simple and well done. If you are in downtown and want good coffee, fresh pastries, and attentive service, Once in a Blue Moon Bakery and Café is worth your visit. We thoroughly enjoyed it and will return. Highly recommend.

On the positive side, the flavors themselves were solid overall. The icing was tasty, and while the cake was decent, it leaned a bit dry, which was already giving us pause given this was meant to showcase their best work. What really ended the conversation for us was a major quality issue. Two of the icing sample balls each had a very long hair in them. It was immediately noticeable and extremely off-putting. At that point, we lost confidence and couldn't bring ourselves to continue sampling, let alone consider trusting them with something as important as a wedding cake. Between the dryness of the cake and the hair issue, we ultimately decided to go in a different direction. Not terrible flavor-wise, but the experience as a whole was disappointing and fell short for such a high-stakes purchase.

I came for the bakery but stayed for the drink menu, which is huge -- milk teas, fruit teas, yogurt smoothies, sparkling teas, and a full coffee lineup. One heads-up: the Coffee Crush ($4.95) is essentially just Dalgona coffee -- that whipped instant-coffee-over-milk drink that went viral a few years back.

    Ich liebe Annelores deutsche Bäckerei!…read more I first got goodies from Annelore's booth at the State Farmer's Market in Raleigh. The Apfel (apple) turnover was delicious, as was the Heidelbeerkuchen (blueberry cake) and Zitronenschnitten (lemon bar). I saw a nice gentlemen there that day who I think may be part owner; based on what I see on their website I wonder if it was Herr Norbert. While waiting for another guy behind the counter to bag my goodies, I happened to mention (to who I think was Norbert) that I'm learning German, and he spoke some basic German to me! Which I understood - OMG, must tell my German teacher. A couple weeks later I needed to bring desserts to our monthly Book Club meeting, and Annelore's was my first thought. I decided to visit their actual store in Cary. Even though it's an hour away from home, I stopped by one day when I had to go to Raleigh for an appointment. An Annelore's employee helped me with selecting about six cake slices and 2-3 different bars, plus some German cookies. The inside of the store is very clean, and there are some places to sit if you'd like to eat there. The employees were kind and helpful (and patient, in my case, trying to decide what to buy for a Book Club group I'd never met in person). Annelore's German Bakery is a wonderful way to take care of your dessert needs and support a local business at the same time. If you need a dessert, cake, scones, or other treats for your home gathering, BBQ, church social, potluck, business lunch, or other event, I would definitely let Annelore's take care of that part for you! 10/10, highly recommend! SO good! Vielen Dank, Annelore's... Ich werde Ihr Geschäft bald wieder besuchen!

Delicious! My kids really liked it as well. Overall, I will definitely come back!

It was very crowded there's not a lot of seating inside, they do have outside sitting. I did like how the inside looked and they had their pastries out front. I couldn't tell what to order and spent a few minutes trying to figure the menu out without getting overstimulated by the time I could even think about asking questions they had a really big line. I ended up ordering a medium cappuccino which I know see from other reviews that my disappointment was not just me. we did get a waffle croissant thing which was not bad. It tasted stale. So it was a bit tougher and chewier or I'm not sure if that's how it was supposed to be ? I'm sure if it was fresh it would have been better. My daughter ended up getting a fruit smoothie and a hello kitty looking Madeline that was banana flavored she really liked that. There are no prices on the things that aren't at their coffee station area. I did ask the guy up front that it was my first time here and I wasn't sure what to get, he just stared at me. Didn't say anything. And then corrected me when I asked for the waffle thing. Soo.. there's that. So I guess come here if you know what you want. Or come during non less busy hours. We only came by because it was across the street from our therapy appointment. But left more disappointed.. and I spent $22 with tip. Not even sure what I paid for or the prices it all happened so fast. So go here don't go here. We will probably try another place.

    Cozy neighborhood café-bakery with a sprawling chalkboard menu and a pastry case that's hard to…read morewalk past. I went savory: a chicken salad croissant (flaky, generously filled, with a side of bow-tie pasta salad and a creamy poppyseed slaw) and a pressed caprese-style panini with tomato, mozzarella, and basil grilled to a deep golden crisp. Both solid, satisfying lunches. On the drinks, the cold brew made with Joe Van Gogh beans was great--smooth and well-balanced. The iced café au lait was acceptable, nothing memorable but it did the job. The bakery case alone is worth a stop: cannoli, cranberry almond muffins, strawberry streusel coffee cake, cinnamon rolls, brownies, and a rack of croissants. Friendly counter service and a comfortable spot whether you're grabbing a quick bite or lingering with a coffee. Worth a return visit. Prices are very reasonable.

    Chanticleer is a hidden gem in Cary! I don't know why it's taken me so long to discover it…read more The staff are all super friendly and welcoming. They helped me navigate my coffee order and executed it to perfection. They also answered all of my gluten free questions and took extra precautions for my allergy. The egg white and cheese sandwich with turkey bacon was great. Pro tip: Order it with a double portion of egg white for added protein. I also got an iced cafe latte with caramel. You can get a punch card for every coffee and get one free on your tenth purchase. They have a great pastry selection. I got an almond croissant to go for my mom on a recommendation from a friend that said it's a can't miss! (I can't try it due to my allergy but it looks amazing) The ambiance has a cute cafe with plenty of seating.

    "VERY hole-in-the-wall Middle Eastern patisserie"…read more This gives hole-in-the-wall new meaning. The location is in a strip-mall that's set back a ways from 55, so it's not really visible from the street at all. However, it's weirder than that-- you have to drive AROUND the strip mall to the back, past the various loading docks for other stores, and they you see this place is open just from the BACK of the strip mall. I heard the owner is Algerian, but there are many Palestinian references and flags around the shop, so if that's triggering, then know this in advance before coming in. Still, the place is brightly lit and airy, with tables to eat. They do custom cakes, cupcakes, and other desserts, but we just wanted to sample some sweets. Hours are funny-- just midday Friday through Sunday. We ordered a pecan brownie and a pistachio chocolate dish with kunafa (shredded Middle Eastern pastry), as well as a mocha coffee. The mocha coffee was rich and delicious, as expected. The pistachio chocolate dish with kunafa was to-die-for... SO delicious. Super thick and messy, as you'd hope it would be. And of course the pecan brownie was amazing. I will say the pastries are not "cheap". I got a single tahini chocolate chip cookie to go for a friend, and that was $4.50 for a modest sized cookie. The other dishes above were in the $6 range. But these are unusual custom-made dishes, so it's fair.

    I don't speak French, but trying to find this place left me wondering if the name means "receded"…read moreor something like that, because it is hidden away. in the back of a shopping center. Both the atmosphere and the menu are a mix of French and Arabic, so I got a cherry-infused chocolate cake and some sort of cheese and za'atar savory bun, along with a cardamom chai. The chai flavor was interesting, but not altogether strong, while the cake was as delicious as it looked. My cheese pastry was strongly salty, for better or for worse. The price reflects the quality of the food more than the location, let's say, but I was glad I went.
