This location was just okay. It did not feel warm or welcoming. There is something to be said about buying pastries in the afternoon. They've been sitting all day. They have a weekday special of getting one pastry per day for $2 between the hours of 3 and 6pm. This is a good way to sell off your excess items. I grabbed a coffee and a pastry. My coffee was good. Unfortunately, the pastry tasted oily and dry :( It is probably best to stick to purchasing pastries in the morning, perhaps you'll get a greeting and a tastier pastry. read more

I don't know if you can imagine my joy when I saw the Paris Baguette sign off the main road while heading to the resort. As a Bay Area foodie, that sight instantly made my day. 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. read more

There's a lot of yummy items, and usually this location is reliable, but there's been a few times where things weren't great. Also, most of the time, the service is just service, no smiles and nothing special or friendly about it. The fruits lack freshness. Recently we bought a cake and it was covered in moldy raspberries. Would have been great if they caught this when they boxed it up. They were pretty moldy, so it makes me wonder how good their refrigeration and handling practices are. They have a bunch of cream filled pastries on display at room temperature, which also seems sketchy. One time I bought a cream filled croissant in the afternoon and it tasted spoiled and had to be thrown out. read more

I needed a last-minute cake for a holiday dinner I was attending with my husband, and I remembered ordering a birthday cake for my grandson from Paris Baguette before. I wasn't expecting such a big reaction to the cake--I thought people would just comment on the decorations, which were beautiful. I ordered online, picked it up with no issues, and placed it on the dessert table. Everyone loved how it looked, but once the cake was cut and served, the compliments were all about how delicious it was. I'm not usually a cake person, but after trying a slice, I was pleasantly surprised. The frosting was light and not overly heavy like many bakery cakes. It was absolutely delicious, and I will definitely be ordering from here again read more

I love Paris Baguette and go to any Paris Baguette that I see. There coffee is so good. I like their black coffee coffees and I like their caramel lattes and their caramel macchiato. I was so happy because this location has the milk bread that is soaked in condensed milk because my location doesn't carry it anymore. The lady who has the barista is so sweet. I really like her and there's a guy that works there also that's really nice. The ambience of this location is always happy. It's generally filled at every table. read more

Sacre Bleu! Incroyable. This is a Mecca for pastry enthusiasts. Everything and more ---both savory and sweet , this is the place for a yummy snack or jambon au beurre! Grab a tray, throw some wax paper down, grab your own tongs and get to work . They will bag it or box it up at the counter if you are taking out. The place is immaculate and servers are extremely amicable . Loved this experience . read more

Paris Baguette - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Millbrae, California

I've only been to Paris baguettes inside groceries store so I was pleasantly surprised how big this bakery was. It had a lot tables for you to enjoy your coffee and pastry. It's a self serve so grab a tray and tongs and try not to grab every single thing because it all looks so good. My favorite is the fruit pastry. It's light and slightly sweet with the cream. They also have savory items and cakes. read more

Back when Paris Baguette first started to sprout up in the Bay Area, I was super stoked to check them out. Sure, a lot of that had to do with the hype and the anticipation of trying them, but just about all of their confections and baked goods looked pretty legit. Now that they've been around for so long, though, I have to admit they've lost some of their allure. However, after hearing that they had a summer menu of lemon-inspired treats that was set to end, we made it a point to come here to catch it before it was gone. Honestly, if there was one sure fire way to get me excited for desserts, it would be of the lemon variety! Compared to the first Paris Baguette II ever visited (the now-shuttered location in Palo Alto), this one looks far more subdued (not in a bad way). Instead of the same sort of bright and chic decor, the look of this place is more contemporary and certainly a better fit for the neighborhood. What's more, I like how there's a good amount of seating inside and how they can create an "outdoor" area by opening up the front windows. As for their offerings, they have a wealth of European pastries (croissants, pain au chocolate, Danishes, quiche, pizzetas, etc.), donuts, breads, buns, rolls, and baguettes, just to name a bunch, as well as a slate of cakes and tarts. However, like most other Asian-owned bakeries (they started in South Korea), everything is lighter and less sweet (for the most part). -- BERRY TART I had high hopes for this one, as it looked great in the display case, and it didn't disappoint! Not only were the berries all very fresh, but the custard filling had a really nice flavor to it. My only (mild) complaint is that the crust felt a little dry. -- LEMON CITRUS LAYER CAKE I was hoping to see something more like a lemon bar or a lemon meringue, but, thankfully, this ended up being pretty decent! The layers of cake were moist and I liked how lemony everything was, even if it was a bit tart (I was okay with it). -- MATCHA MOCHI DONUT In terms of flavor, this wasn't too shabby. The icing, while sweet, wasn't overly sweet, and the matcha powder reinforced the flavor well. The donut could've used more mochi flour to get a better chew, but my bigger issue was with how it already tasted stale so early in the morning. -- COFFEE CROISSANT DONUT Honestly, I absolutely regret getting this. While the donut itself was fine, it was hard to enjoy it because of the icing and filling. Not only were they insanely sugary together, but the icing was a runny, melted mess. After just a bite or two each, we threw the rest away. Hard pass. -- CROISSANT DONUT By comparison, this was way more successful. The butter layers of croissant were great and we really liked the tinge of lemon icing on it. I imagine this was probably sugary as well, but ironically, because we had it after the coffee one, it wasn't nearly as noticeable. -- LEMON CUSTARD KING CREAM DONUT We opted to give this a shot after trying the Lemon Citrus cake, but I didn't find it to be quite as successful. For me, I thought the drizzle of white chocolate added to the lemon icing, but the lemon in the custard wasn't that strong. Still, it wasn't bad by any means. Despite how it's located right on Broadway in Millbrae, coming here is actually ridiculously convenient. Between the huge parking lots behind the building as well as the one across the street, there's no shortage of spaces. That being said, I've always been wary of what I buy here because of how I would often see flies circle around and land on the food. It helps that they now prepackage some of their buns and have their trays placed inside plastic cabinets (it never made sense how they used to sit out in the open), but it was a persistent issue, and those doors get left open, so who knows if it's fully resolved. Considering how how consistent and familiar they are, as well as how good their pastries and confections look, Paris Baguette still has some level of appeal even though they've lost some of that "new toy" shine. Of course, the food isn't bad either, though there are better places out there. However, for something relatively cheap and convenient, the options aren't bad, particularly their cakes and desserts. Don't worry, they should be safe from the flies, too, since they're in the refrigerated display cases. read more

Overall 3.5 Stars 4 Stars - Ambiance - 1st time visiting this franchise so I didn't know what to expect. The place is spacious, great lighting and clean. There is spacious seating for a couple or a large group. The items are displayed in a clear box case and you grab a tray, paper and tongs and you select the type of breakfast items you want. 4 Stars - Staff The people were friendly and efficient. You're able to observe the bakers making fresh pastries through a window while you wait to pay for your food and drinks. 3.5 - Food I came in at opening time at 7 and the selection wasn't full. Though there were many items available, the items I wanted were not. So I opted for the following: 4 Stars - Sweet - Blueberry Cream Cheese. The pastry was delightful but the blueberry jam was mild in flavor. 3.25 - Savory - Ham and Cheese Croissant - the croissant was light and fluffy. Had a wonderful flaky, buttery crust. But was lacking in the meat dept. It has a single thin slice of ham in the middle. When you bite or tear the croissant, you get a lot of air in the middle section, then you taste the ham. Bummer - cuz it has so much potential to be better. If it is a single slice, make it a thicker slice. With that said, the cheese was layered inside and outside of the pastry. 3 stars - Espresso- to wash it down. The espresso temperature was more luke warm than hot. Disappointed. Updated: As I am reviewing the bakery, wait until 7:45 to have a better pastry selection. read more

I tried a variety of pastries from this place to share and was pleasantly surprised. Most of the items had signs saying what they were, although one powdery donut did not, and we were curious if it had any filling. Line was handled very efficiently and fast. The chai latte was decent. There was plenty of space to sit, and the atmosphere felt calm and welcoming. I can see it being a nice spot to study or get some work done. read more

Paris Baguette is your go-to for standard cakes and sweet or savory pastries. Over the years, they've offered trendier pastries such as cronuts and supreme croissants (croissant wheels). There's a good variety, even closer to the evening. However, I wouldn't go here expecting highest quality. The pastries are just ok, and most feel a little on the greasier/oily side. It's not worth it if it's out of your way, but they're affordable enough for a quick snack fix. read more

I like this place. They have a huge selection of stuff and it a pleasant environment inside. But then again, I'm a sucker for pastries and baked goods. And on that note... I'd suck down every pastry in this joint if I wasn't concerned about my cholesterol level. Okay... maybe "suck down" is not the right description to use when eating pastries. FINE! I'd jam every one of those pastries down my pie hole. And be HAPPY about it! How's that? Happy now? GAH! Go here. read more

Paris Baguette - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Millbrae, California

Paris Baguette is growing on me. A little. Since I don't often eat pastries and sweets I come here for the coffee and a reasonably quiet and clean place to sit. The coffee has improved service is good and the noise level is acceptable. Is it just me or is the music volume at the big chain shop now intolerable? I digress.... Have a sampled the pastries? Yes. The way they are displayed leaves a bit to the imagination but they are okay, only okay. Other details-the furniture is pretty beat up. And the bathroom last time I used it was quite beaten too. I would like to think that improving in these aspects would not be too difficult. This location and the outdoorish veranda is really great. read more

Love the food but the service is horrible. For a high-end bakery, they should really train the employees better. I went into the store, grabbed a couple pastries, walked up to the counter (no line), one girl was making drinks and another lady was just walking back and forth. Nobody greeted me when I walked in, nobody said anything to me when I walked up to the counter, and I waited there in silence for 4 minutes until the girl was done making drinks. She could've at minimum said hello and to give her a minute, so simple. Then right after I purchased my order, I sat down for 5 minutes and a huge line formed and it took a customer to ask for another person to help check people out for them to get someone else. Also, I ordered a cake on DoorDash, they should add a section for custom writings. I had to call in to ask them to add Happy Birthday. And let's be honest, it's not the best calligraphy for a high-end bakery. read more

Today we thought we'd try their premade ham and cheese baguette sandwich as well as the Caprese sandwich. Although the flavors were good, the sandwiches were incredibly dry, and the bread was at least two days old. I was only able to eat the very thin top of the sandwich as the bottom part was too hard and too thick. There's a sticker on the sandwich that says the "chef recommends heating" them. This is to disguise that the bread is so old. We didn't have them heated because we planned to eat them a couple hours later and besides that no one heats a Caprese a sandwich it's not meant to be hot. We will not be going back. read more

I ordered the iced chocolate hazelnut nuttela latte and it's one of the worst drinks I've ever had. It was $7.50 for the smallest size which is not cheap for an iced latte, especially not from a chain bakery. You could not taste any Nutella or coffee, it literally just tasted like chalky milk in a cup with whip cream. I can't tell if it was the barista who didn't make the drink correctly or if it's supposed to taste like nothing. Also, the pastries are all fully exposed at this location with no plastic door or covering to protect it from the dirty air or to keep them fresh. I can only imagine what they taste like at the end of the day. I will not be returning to this location nor ordering any drinks from Paris Baguette in the future. read more

After going to the gym, there's times where I just want a quick snack and Paris Baguette is good with their mini hot dog pastries, that I just can't seem to get enough of! As someone who prefers savory or sweet, it's really nice to have those type of options. Of all that pastries, the smoked sausage bread has to be a the top of the list. Followed by the hash brown bread ( gotta love carbs on carbs), and the crab croquettes. I've ordered a couple sandwiches here in a rush and they were ok but not remarkable. The tuna sandwich was probably my favorite of the bunch. For breakfast, I recently tried out their bacon/egg on brioche, but it was pretty mid. Made me realize I should just cook that at home and save money. Basically, I'm sticking to my hot dog pastries because I love me a good hot dog. If you want to re-heat them, air-fryer, all day everyday. Lastly, if you are ever in need of a last minute cake that looks as good as it tastes, Paris Baguette has some ready-to-go cakes, and they give you a cake cutter and some candles! We got the cappuccino cake, and as someone who doesn't like sweets, I have found myself going for another slice. So so good! Not the type of place I go often, but a spot that's consistent and has something for me to tide my appetite over, especially if I know I'm about to eat a big meal later on in the day. read more

Maybe you shouldn't try to charge ppl for a 1 dollar bag when I already paid 25cents initially (and no mention of said 1 dollar anywhere).

Also hope you can fix your workers attitude when being approached. I was not rude but they left a very sour taste. It's not like I didn't pay.

I came here at 9am on a weekday and there were already a variety of pastries to choose from. I ended up getting an almond pastry ($4.19) which was nice a flakey, and wasn't too sweet. I really liked the almond cream inside the pastry.

When my sister took the first bite, she found a piece of hair embedded into the cake and the cream was covering it. We ended up throwing the whole cake away.
