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

Paris Baguette - Bathroom code 1818 - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Mountain View, California

very convenient for me as this location is walking distance from where i live. love the range of service hours - always available for some kind of pick me up one thing that no one really talks about here is their bread!! baguettes and sliced bread... delicious and pretty decently nutritious to pair with your at home meals i def have my set favorite pastries from this chain (the savory ones duh)- and compared to the sunnyvale and milpitas locations.. mountain view's pb quality tops them all line can get pretty long and could seep into the pastry area but the cashiers do what they can to be efficient and keep the line moving. seating area is small but when youre downtown, eating outside is a must! plenty of spots to picnic in the area read more

Cons * Not environment friendly (no recycle and no compost )! No separate recycle, compost and landfill bins here! - Some times, flies flying around the garbage can that smells, had to avoid all the seatings on front side of the store due to that. Pros - few tall seats in the front side - WiFi (details below) and restroom - Fresh bakeries and deserts which are great - open late which works great after dinner to get some deserts!

Great for large orders or catering sweet treats or diverse breakfast items! Can schedule via website ahead of time and the pastries are organized and crafted with care! Appreciate the efficiency and desserts! read more

The pastries were beautiful and very good and. the display case was also impressive. Coffee was good for 2/3 of us. The staff could use some feedback in the customer service department. A simple smile and a thank you goes a long way! We asked for extra utensils and it felt as though we were being a nuisance. Unfortunately the rating was based on that and the coffee. read more

Paris Baguette - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Mountain View, California

Overall I think Paris Baguette is a fine chain in the Bay Area. I appreciate the variety of French pastries, cakes, Asian baked goods, and seasonal items. However, this Cupertino store is a disappointment. It may be that they are always busy that they aren't watching the pastry shelves/bins or caring for the consistency of the pastry items, but I saw flies inside the covered bins at my most recent visit. And I've been watching the mochi donuts get smaller and smaller by the way of the "hole" getting larger. See photos. Meanwhile, the price is also significantly higher than any other bakery I know that sells mochi donuts (e.g., each donut usually runs $3-3.50, but here it was $4.49). I needed to buy desserts to bring to a dinner, but after seeing flies trapped inside the pastry bins, I lost my appetite for buying anything here. It is so unfortunate because I think this Paris Baguette store has a prime downtown location and so much potential. I hope they'll literally and figuratively clean up their act, so they can stick around for the long haul. read more

The service isn't very consistent. This is my third time at this location. The staff wasn't welcoming but wasn't rude per se. I had asked for individual bags for each of my items because I wanted to give them to different people. I was willing to pay extra for the bags. They instead just put the salty items in one bag and then the donuts on top of the bag. It was hard to take it out without having to touch read more

Good location! This Paris Baguette is one of the nicest ones I seen. Very clean, and everything is nicely displayed. Lots of options from savory to sweet. Everything looks nice and fresh. I was happy with the variety I picked the mini strawberry cream croissants are delicious! The almond croissant was a little bit dry and could use more almond filling but overall I really enjoyed these pastries. Service was good, cashier was nice and friendly. read more

I've been to this Paris Baguette many times, usually for drinks & other times for the pastries. If you've been to other locations, then this one is pretty similar. I have some friends who enjoy the espresso & other drinks (using Lavazza coffee beans), but I've only ever found them "good" at best. My highlights include the cookie butter and chocolate hazelnut drinks, while the hot chocolate and Korean iced milk coffee were let-downs. In downtown Mountain View, there are better places for coffee, but Paris Baguette is fine if you have promos and/or want to pick up the baked goods. Speaking of them, there are a variety of sweet & savory items to choose, so you'll probably find something you like. My favorites include the croissant donuts and cream breads, but I like to sample new things too. Regarding ambiance, this location is pretty good, with ample seating & free Wi-Fi if you'd like to do some work. And then as for service, it's also usually good but can vary depending on who's at the counter. But I haven't had any bad experiences. read more

Food Quality: ** (Hit or Miss) Service: * (Non-existent) Ambiance: *** (Typical Cafe) Value: * (Overpriced) My experience at Paris Baguette was incredibly disappointing, primarily due to the appalling service. I purchased a pastry that was advertised with chocolate, but it was completely devoid of it. When I politely approached the cashier to inquire about this discrepancy, she not only gave me a blank, uncaring stare, but also attempted to charge me again, despite having paid her just three minutes prior! There was absolutely no attempt to address or acknowledge my question despite the cafe being nearly empty. The coffee was average at best, and the pastries themselves are hit or miss. Some are decent, but many are overpriced and a bit dry. The complete lack of customer service ruined any potential enjoyment of the food. When I travel to London I go to the one in Kensington and the experience is a complete 180... I will not be returning here. read more

The interior of the business is exceptional! The entire layout is welcoming and very clean! Everything is very organized and appealing. We purchased two drinks from here an iced matcha vanilla late and a strawberry smoothie! I would definitely say they were both really good, however, the pricing is high for what you're getting. The service was okay, nothing too special to mention though they did greet us at the start. read more

Nice employees with a good atmosphere! I got one of the strawberry cakes and it was creamy and delicious, even three days after. The prices on the cake board are a bit lower at checkout, which was also nice too. However, $7 for a slice of cake is still quite pricey. Great selection! read more

Since writing my last review, I have spoken with a manager(?) and an employee to provide constructive feedback. The manager was professional and sounded somewhat apologetic. However, she still seemed to take the "side of the EMployees" in the kitchen (whom I have never seen in my life) and/or COVEr for them, who were continuing to make unsolicited and rude comments about a customer (I don't necessarily assume that they are comments directed at me, for the sake of my mental health. Although I think, they are often intentionally & vaguely targeted at me-- what really confirms such harassment is how they look at me funny, as they engage in such behaviors). When I named and confronted the specific behavior, she just denied them. Her response to my constructive feedback was mediocre at best... Actually, it is even more psychologically damaging to the harassed, to ultimately be gaslit after bringing harassment to the surface. Unfortunately, that is what she chose... Perhaps they care more about how things appear on the surface, generating all sorts of traffic through their stores (doesn't matter what quality of traffic, since it generates money for their CHAins... a very clear hello!), and/or revel in the DRaMA (while I am only re-traumatized-- hello.) rather than actually taking accountability and apologizing. I decided to edit my review and give them 3 stars, because the listening & "holding space" presence of a cashier (maybe a new hire) whom I also provided such feedback to-- was noticeably better at understanding my experience. He stood there, looked at me in the face in a non-creepy way (very healing), and just listened. Listening to a customer complain about such a distressing experience for several minutes is probably not one of his usual job responsibilities. Such an interaction makes me ALMOST believe that the bakery and their goods are actually there to MAKE (CUSTOMERS') DAY(s). read more

I am normally satisfied with whatever items I purchase at PB. Today, I picked up a Mango Lemonade Refresher and Pistachio Supreme Croissant. The former was both sweet and tart, being a nice way to start the morning. However, the latter has to be the worst spiral croissant I have ever had. About the only thing good about it was the few pistachio nuts on top. The shell was soggy, the green glaze was artificial tasting, and the barely there filling was tasteless at best. One a huge disappoinment for a once viral item. IMHO, PB should stop selling it. read more

It's a lovely Paris Baguette cafe & bakery on Castro Street in downtown Mountain View. Not huge, but decent size location with tables and chairs inside. I've been visiting for many years since their opening. Staffs are always experienced and welcoming. Holiday vibes are colorful, warm & cozy inside. My medium sized hot peppermint mocha was very fulfilling. I love holiday sweets and holiday app deals. Don't forget to download and use the app for ongoing special offers and discounts. As usual, I really do enjoy their soufflé cheesecake, especially because gingerbread man looks too cute on it. Add a snowman pastry to it and you've got all your Paris Baguette holiday tastebud fixes for the day. This place never disappoints, but because of the narrow aisle by the pastries/breads/goodies, the crowds and lines do get tight here during peak hours. Customers do work or study inside with groups at times. Locals are mature professionals and working class folks. This location feels different than most other locations, but business as usual. Everything still looks good and tastes great here. read more

Love Love Love Paris Baguette! I have tried their breakfast buns before but today got a Tiramisu Cake for someone's birthday. This is easily a crowd favorite. What's more impressive is it came with a plastic cake knife and thoughtfully designed with a small compartment for 2 matchsticks with an igniter strip! This is so smart. read more

Mediocre service and mediocre food. I've heard great things about Paris baguette, so maybe maybe it's just just this location.

I have been to this location, at least six times in the last year. Everything is fresh. The customer service is efficient and the restaurant itself is clean with a solid table for two at most times of the day. It's directly near two amazing bookstores so picking up a pastry and your favorite book or magazine is right there. It gives this specific location a lot of whimsy that other locations do not have. Castro St. is closed off for vehicles so this spot just has a lot of places to grab a pastry, sit and eat or window shop which I absolutely love. read more

Loved this place! Everything was delicious but my favorites were the palm leaf and cream filled donut. The palm leaf was crispy and sweet and the cream filling in the donut was not very sweet making it perfect. If ever in Mountain View again, I would definitely revisit! They had both sweet and savory pastries. I did go again before my flight for the plane ride home) read more

I've been here a few times. Yesterday I got the crab croquette and a cherry greek yogurt danish and loved both! The bread is all quite pricey but I would probably go back because both were so good. The cakes are good but not too special, but maybe that's just because I don't like cake that much. There is some seating in the store on Castro street. It was a nice place for me and my friends to eat some dessert and chat while taking a break from exploring. read more

Not happy with their service at all. I bought a cheesecake and the lady placed it sideways in the paper bag. Also got mini sweet potato pastry (which comes with a paper tray) and an apple pie both unwrapped. She managed to squeeze in the apple pie and those mini sweet potato pastry together in the same small paper bag. Wonder where they draw the line? Would placing the cheesecake upside down be okay? Can a birthday cake be placed sideways? Thought a total of $38+ baking goods deserve being treated more respectfully. On top of these, she didn't ask me if I wanted to purchase a bag. read more

Here is my two cents on the quality quantity and price of my order... it was delivered by GrubHub in a very timely manner and follow instructions! I had a café mocha , a raspberry almond croissant, and and a four cheese quiche. I was quite surprised about the café mocha . It was a good size and it was just sweet enough.. I didn't have to add any sugar and I am a sugar addict? The raspberry almond croissant though quite sticky very tasty . And then the four cheese quiche.. it came still warm and not what I expected, but it was quite delicious. If you haven't tried this place there are many locations and you should give them a whirl. I am a foodie so I know what I'm talking about read more

First time trying Paris Baguette. I love the vibes on the inside! This is the perfect place to bring a laptop and get some work or studying done. The pastries are in a tall display case, and you walk down the line placing the ones you want on a tray. It's easy to feel like the person behind you is rushing you, but rest assured everyone was marveling at the options trying to decide. The service was very fast due to the lunchroom line style of serving. I ended up getting the Almond Pastry, Croissant, Sugar Mochi Donut, and Chocolate Hazelnut Latte with Nutella. The Almond Pastry was my favorite. It was nice and flaky and perfectly sweet with a delicious almond creme in the middle. The almond flakes on top added a nice texture to it, and were perfectly toasted. The Sugar Mochi Donut was nice and light in flavor and not too sweet which I enjoyed. The Mochi was soft and bouncy and had a great chew. The Croissant was my least favorite pastry, it was over baked and tasted a bit like burnt cheese. The Chocolate Hazelnut Latte with Nutella was also not my favorite, I didn't really taste any hazelnut and I didn't taste any Nutella at all, it just tasted like a latte with sugar. I ended up going back and getting my go to Chai Latte. It wasn't my favorite either. The Chai flavor was very light and tasted a bit watered down but with milk. Overall, I'm glad I tried this place. I love pastries and will always pop in a shop of if I pass by one. read more

I'm visiting family in this area, and love coming to this bakery and patisserie. I treated myself to a very delicious chocolate cake and then picked up some goodies for my family. They were certainly well received. There is nice lighting, great ambience, friendly staff, and a wide array of items to choose from. There is good parking nearby. It is located on the street that is close to automobile traffic, which adds to its charm. Prices are reasonable, given the quality of the items. read more

Came after dinner with friend to get coffee & pastry and talk. The pistachio croissant crème filling was too sweet for my taste compared to the pistachio croissant I ate at Angelina's NYC which had a natural green and deeper flavor.

The chocolate cake was delicious / light spongy inside. read more

We enjoy coming here when we're in the mood for pastries or need a nice looking cake for a special occasion. The food and drinks are always good. The service/friendliness varies depending on who you get - sometimes fairly friendly, sometimes a little brusque, but never really rude. I would say friendliness and customer service must not be emphasized during training, but it doesn't prevent us from coming here. But honestly, a little more friendliness would go a long way in making this place feel welcoming and like they value your business value it just feeling like a very transactional interaction. The decor and facilities are fine, but today a lot of the tables were pretty dirty (lots of crumbs everywhere), so some attention to keeping the tables more tidy for the guests would be great. read more
