This was our go-to coffee spot whenever we were near the Riverwalk area or needed strong matcha in the morning for the day ahead. I would order ahead via the app, and either my husband would pick up or we would go there together. The baristas consistently made drinks well. It's a cute little PB spot. I would definitely recommend if you're staying at one of the nearby hotels and need a PB fix. read more

Decided to stop by Paris Baguette to pass the time prior to my flight. This location is much smaller than the location in CA. The variety of parties is very much limited as well. I love that there is an outdoor patio. It was nice sitting outside during the warmer weather. I elected to try the raspberry pastry, which was flaky and delicious. The cream balanced the tartness of the raspberries. I enjoyed the sausage pastry as well. I love that the woman at the counter offered to warm it up. I will visit again during my next visit to Chicago! read more

Not my favorite chocolate cake but this is personal preference because I love chocolatey desserts (Korean desserts tend to be natural I believe). The cake was still soft and moist, and it was beautiful. I'm glad I got to try it due to its vitality. Interior is cute and clean. Service is fast. read more

Always been a fan of this establishment. Usually go to the one inside the asian market. My favorite items if the Ham and Cheese Pastry. So I had to do two of these as they make the perfect lunch or breakfast. My plan will be to eat for lunch tomorrow with a side of Bean Soup. Anyway on to the sweets. For dessert we picked a mini strawberry soft cream cake to share. My husband also grabbed a croissant donut. All in all, it was delicious. The price point was slightly higher than the one inside the Asian market. Quality was good overall and the drink menu was innovative. Definitely a nice cute bakery addition to the this neighborhood. They had seating inside but also a robust patio seating area. Would be a nice place to enjoy a good cup of coffee and pastry. read more

This is my favorite place for pastries and baked items. It's my go-to spot whenever I'm craving cake. This location also has a seating area with tables, and during the summer they have outdoor seating too. You can pick the items you want on a tray and then go to the counter to place your order. I have ordered birthday cakes for my friends from here many times. One time I forgot to pre-order, but luckily they had cakes available to buy right away, which was really helpful. Definitely recommend! read more

Very clean inside with large selection. Pastries made on site. You grab a tray and select day you want. They also serve coffee and matcha. The caramel pretzel flat pastry was so delicious. Prices were reasonable for downtown. read more

Not only is this place always squeaky clean, every time I stop in the employees are all extremely kind! I can't recommend the chocolate cake or the coffee croissant donut here enough! Run, don't walk! As a donut connoisseur I can tell you this is one of the best donuts I've ever had in my life! It's fluffy, light, crispy on the outside but doughy and soft on the inside. The coffee flavor isn't over powering and the inside is filled with a deliciousssss cream! Pure heaven!!!!! The coffee here is also amazing! Lavazza brand so expect a nice strong Italian coffee. Love that they have sugar free vanilla syrup! read more

This bakery always seems to find ME wherever I go! I don't understand it! Self serve location located downtown with an array of yummy pastries and to go food in the cold box. You walk in, grab a tray and wax paper and have at it! I got my goodies to go, but I'm pretty sure if you ask nicely the staff will warm your order for you. I don't recall seeing a microwave but it may be one out for general use. I will ALWAYS stop at Paris Baguette whenever I'm visiting a place..( well it comes to me)! read more

From savory to sweet, there is something for everyone here. For the past 2 months on our vacation, we come here at least every other day. We found the coffee and cappuccinos to be very good even decaffeinated, which is not always the case. Everything we have eaten from sweets (such cookies, cakes, donuts, etc ) and savory (sandwiches, flatbreads, etc) are very good to excellent. They will even warm up your item if you want. While I didn't love everything I tried (some dessert were just too sweet for me), the variety is extensive and everyone will find at least 1 dessert that they will love. There are many creative items not usually found in all bakeries. See pictures. Please note that there is a cut-off time of when they replenish your favorite dessert, so make sure to come earlier in the day. We have frequented the store after dinner and before they close and found the shelves to be pretty empty. Regardless, we don't go away empty handed and always find a new item we may not have tried. There are long lines during specific rush hours such as mornings and weekends but the checkout process is efficient. Even when busy, the staff makes sure your bake good are well boxed. The restaurant has tables inside and outside. Even when busy, we were able to find seats. read more

We stopped by super early on a Sunday morning (about 7:30) to grab some breakfast to go. I had looked at the menu online and was disappointed to see they had a very limited selection ready at that time. We got the following, which they offered to heat for us but we declined since we were not eating them right away. Ham & Cheese Pastry - very light on the ham and cheese, but the pastry had a really good cheesy flavor. Chocolate Croissant - nice chocolate drizzle but again very little chocolate on the inside. Raspberry Almond Croissant - so good. The best of all three. Flaky croissant with good raspberry flavor. Good but not great pastries that have me reminiscing about my trip to France last summer. Oh, and Diet Coke in a bottle. Like a genie in a bottle. read more

Stopped by for a nice, casual breakfast, and all the pastries looked delicious. We tried the ham and potato pastry, pain au chocolat, and a twisty donut. We also ordered a vanilla cold brew and a cookie butter iced latte. The staff were kind and asked if we wanted our pastries warmed up, to which we, of course, said yes. Unfortunately, the pastries came out only slightly warm, with the centers still cold. The donut was even tough to chew. The coffees were okay; however, they were a bit too sweet for our taste. This, along with the fact that someone spilled an entire coffee on the floor and no staff came to clean it, brought down our rating. Some customers didn't notice and were walking right through the spill. read more

Obsessed with everything about Paris Baguette! We arrived fairly early for morning coffee and pastries. It was nice and quiet at the time we went. There were plenty of delicious pastries to choose from. We really struggled to pick just 3. I loved that we were able to walk around and serve ourselves whatever we wanted out of the cases. After you choose your goodies, you head up front to pay. We also ordered a couple hot lattes which paired perfectly with our pastries. We picked out a raspberry almond croissant, cream filled donut, and hash brown ham and cheese bread. We really enjoyed everything we tried. My personal favorite was the raspberry almond croissant. I'm posting this review a month late, but I have thought about this fantastic little cafe so many times since our trip to Chicago last month. I will be dreaming of the next time I get to stop into a Paris Baguette! read more

I love everything about this place. First of all the decor is quite nice. Everything is clean well laid out and the staff is very friendly and helpful. You can tell everything is high-quality. Their playing croissants are delicious for breakfast or to use as a sandwich for lunch. They're prepared foods for lunch are quite good. I especially like the strawberry croissant and the cherry and cheese danish. This is my Sunday morning treat from My Husband. He has coffee with a friend on Sunday mornings and stops here on his way home. read more

Absolutely must have when you're in the city! Came early morning to get some baked goods. They had so many options for baked goods -breads, sweets, savories, etc and coffee. We got a bag full of pastries-pistachio croissant, chocolate croissants, ham baked item, and a pistachio latte. We loved everything. The staff are friendly and efficient here in getting your items to you. The only downside is the place is quite small but it's a great option for take away. read more

I was a frequent customer as I live in the neighborhood and loved having a PB so close. Unfortunately the staff seem to be more interested in socializing with each other than providing customer service. Recently, they claimed to not have received my preordered and paid drink order. I was assured that it would be made and to wait a few minutes, no problem, mistakes happen, especially during a rush. I was handed a drink by a worker and rushed to add sweetener and cream as I was already running late to work. A PB Employee then came behind me to snatch the drink out of my hand, despite me telling her oh I've adjusted it to my liking already and SCOLDED me that it wasn't my order, even though her colleague just handed me it 2 min prior. She then continued to say she didn't receive my order despite actually taking my phone and seeing that my order was placed on the app. I've emailed the store hoping to at least get an apology from management or a refund credit and NOTHING. Despite the tasty treats, I will NOT be returning again as a regular patron. Such horrible customer service! read more

While it is a bakery chain (fun fact a South Korean bakery chain), it is still one of my favorite places in the city. They have comparatively unique bakery items and are probably all worth a try. One of my go-to is the Jumbo Twisted Donut. The coffee isn't bad, I've tried a few flavors. I got the Iced Frappe less sweet and it's what you'd expect. Blended coffee with whip cream. I'm not sure what's with the WiFi but it's hit or miss. It didn't feel like connecting for me today so just a heads up if you plan to get work done you might not be able to without a hotspot. read more

Fun and quick little spot with a lot of early morning options. Friendly service and immediately offered to warm some of my breakfast options. Sadly do NOT try any of the coffee options. Cronut isn't really a cronut. It's far too dense to be a cronut. Not something I would highly recommend but the coffee puff and the savory options are all quite tasty read more

Staying at the nearby Loews and wanted to get out of the hotel for a pastry/breakfast sandwich. Wandered a couple blocks and into Paris Baguette on E Illinois Street. Space was bright, clean, well laid out and welcoming and at entry you are greeted with several cases of sweet and savory pastries, along with cookies and muffins plus a small cold area with premade items and drinks. When you get done scoping all the goods. You can head to the small dining space to enjoy your goods. We ended up with a chocolate croissant and ham, egg and cheese pastry. Both were delightful. I decided to pair my pastry with a coffee and unfortunately I was not impressed with the iced coffee. I guess that's an indicator of why they are called Paris Baguette and not Paris Baguette and Coffee. Overall, cute space with tasty pastries and treats! read more

DEFINITELY would recommend if you are in Chicago! read more

Quick, friendly service and delicious chai! The sweets look amazing, but don't think they have any gluten-free options.

We had a disappointing small breakfast at a different restaurant and did a quick search to find an alternative option. I'm so glad we stopped here. There are so many options to choose from. Everything is self-serve, so you select the pastries and put them on your tray. I don't love this, since you have numerous people walking in off the street and touching the tongs. It gets crowded, and we were lucky to snag a table. We tried a Butter Pecan Supreme Croissant ($5.99), Tiramisu Tart ($4.29), Coffee Bun ($3.69), & Butter Pecan Latte ($4.99). I can't wait to try more of their selection! read more

What's not to love about a place you can walk in and grab a tray to load up on pastries etc.?! We grabbed a pepperoni flatbread and a danish that was out of this world.

This bakery is so close to the hotel that we are currently staying at, therefore I decided to stop here for bakery treats and coffee to go. There are quite a lot of selections on the bakery items, too many to name. It was not that busy at this time in the morning. The coffee has several options and decent prices. I got a regular brew coffee and a cappuccino coffee. Both taste great, very smooth. As for the desserts, I brought a couple including the pineapple brûlée pastry and a pepperoni pastry because they caught my eyes. The staff here are quick and nice. There are quite a lot of tablets and chairs to sit and dine in. read more

Overall: Freshly baked and authentic taste near Navy Pier. The good: So many options to choose from, with all of them being made fresh by the hour (or less). The staff does a great job of refilling items that are running out, and I never felt like I was missing out on something. The process is relatively simple once you take in the vast amount of selections, and you can tell that there is a lot of care and attention put into every item on the shelf, from looks to flavor. Everything tasted delicious and we were certainly not disappointed. The not-so-good: Several things we wanted heated up, and we also got coffee. That process took longer than I would've expected. Some of the smaller items are a little over priced. Food/drink: 9/10 Atmosphere: 9/10 Service: 9/10 read more

Paris Baguette is your fancy neighborhood bakery. I've been to a bunch of their locations throughout the area and I really enjoy the huge selection of baked goods offered. This is a great location with plenty of seats although it can get very packed during certain times, especially on weekends. I've tried a few items from this location and it can be a bit hit or miss in my experience. For example, I've bought their raisin bread loaf but the batch I got one time didn't seem super fresh and I don't recall them putting a sell by date on the packaging. They're constantly bringing out freshly baked products and you can watch their bakers working in the back of the bakery. I'm a fan of their ham and cheese croissant- ask for it to be heated up and eat it right away, it's delicious! I've also tried one of their curry croquettes but mine was under heated and the center was still cold- I'm sure it would've tasted better if it was heated up to the right temperature. They have lots of incredible looking cakes that you can buy by the slice or whole. They always offer a limited edition cake for the holidays, which is pretty neat. I ordered their chocolate cake recently and everyone loved it. The process was easy to do online. However they don't do customized messaging on any of their cakes, so just be aware of that before you order a $50 cake. They also don't offer different sizes for the whole cakes. The chocolate cake came in one size and said it fed up to 8 people but I think it could've easily fed 10-12 people. read more

This place is incredible! A very bright and welcoming environment with delicious pastries and coffee. It's essentially a pick-your-own-pastry type of place with a huge selection of pastries to choose from. I went in the late afternoon, and everything was still incredibly fresh. You grab your own tongs and tray, walk around the store, and select which pastries you want. You then bring your tray up to the checkout counter, where you can also order coffee. Very simple and very fun! read more

Was excited to check out this new bakery in the neighborhood, especially from the rave reviews. Upon walking in, you're immediately greeted with endless options of pastries. I wasn't totally sure what to do so I perused around before following the lead of others and grabbed a tray/tongs to make a selection. It was very hard to choose what to try since they had many classics but also unique offerings, both sweet and savory, and even a separate display at the front for cakes and other refrigerated desserts. I noticed most people were filling up their trays, which I didn't understand health-wise but the model certainly seems to encourage "loading up". Anyway, the process is to bring your selection up to the cashier where they will ring you up and bag/box up your goodies if you're taking to go. This is also where you can order drinks, of which they have a full menu of coffee, tea, and smoothies. In terms of pastry quality, the ones I tried were just ok. I would be willing to stop in again and try some different ones, maybe earlier in the day when they're fresher, or a cake for a special occasion. read more

Update to: "We lost our 4-year old toddler's blue wool bonnet at the store on 11/27/2025 around 12:30pm. When we came back to the store to see if they had found it, the store personnel did acknowledge seeing it and had put it on the side but claimed somebody else might have taken it. The staff lady we spoke to was less than sympathetic about it, and was very evasive about our questions. Not very helpful at all. We just left the store without further details, and a crying child." -- On Nov 28, 2025 business owner wrote "Please contact us at contactus@parisbaguette.com so we can follow up." -- Sent them an email on the same day as requested. Business never bothered to respond. That was over a month ago. read more

Love the ambiance of this place. Very excited to have a new bakery in the neighborhood. We went for the first time today and there were lines but they were moving very fast thanks to speedy checkout staff. Nice areas to sit down and eat and they will heat up anything if you request it. New so everything looks pretty clean. I got a variety of pastries since it was our first time at the bakery. So far my favorite is the milk bread loaf (haha I'm so basic) and the hot green tea. *** Tip if you sign up for rewards on the app you can get a free small brewed coffee or hot tea on your first visit with purchase. We also got a rainbow cake as a surprise for our daughters. I'll be back to try the raisin milk bread AND the baguette sandwiches! Eager to support a new business in Streeterville. read more
