The best Quiche Lorraine, I had in all of Paris I was looking for a great quiche the whole time in Paris, little did I know it was less than 500 m away from me, and I should have stuck to my guns and walked the neighborhood before I tried to go to fancy restaurants to pick up something that could have been made. So simple, this place had the best Quiche. I had in all of Paris that week. Creamy cheesy smooth just absolutely amazing. I was craving one for my last Parisian sunrise and Paris Baguette delivered for breakfast and it happened to be the last day we were in Paris before we had our last hurrah, on the way to switzerland. The orangina I paired with it that morning, had a great amount of fruit juice in it. Just a great pair together. Something I wish we could have in America, guess I'll be looking forward in specialty stores. Thank you, Paris Baguette and the server behind the counter for letting me pick the one I wanted.
I almost refused to go in and grab something bc it looked to touristy... it's not. I had my first Croque monsieur ( 1 of 3) and it was great. It's a small bakery , Boulangerie. My wife had a goat cheese sandwich that she enjoyed. We also got a baguette..
Stopped for cappuccino which was very good. Sat at a table by the window and people watched, but not very many seating options here. More of a grab n go type place. We were lucky someone was getting up as we were leaving.
Wow what flavor and cream. A gem for a quick bit in Paris on the way to your next sight seeing adventure. Highly recommend.
For a fast and delicious bite to eat, this place can't be beat. Absolutely delicious. Get The classic ham and cheese baguette and the Serrano Ham with sun dried tomatoes. And the deserts....spectacular.
The Chinese philosopher and poet Li Po once stated that the value of a grain of rice in your hometown depends on your own position relative to the grain of rice. When you are home, it's next to worthless. When you are thousands of miles away, all of a sudden this lowly grain of rice becomes an object of intense yearning, a symbol of your desire to reach out to something that will staunch your homesickness. We all heard stories of Japanese salaryman on foreign assignments tucking into packets of instant ramen noodles, too culture-shocked into trying out the unknown. Many stories were told of the Franco-Americans risking jail sentences to sneak Sabodet onboard US-bound flights, and people willing to spend hundreds of dollars to munch on St. Michel Galettes and Teisseire syrups when nowhere close to a Carrefour hypermart. But suppose what happens when this object of yearning is...in itself, some mutated import, a stranger even in its supposed homeland? What then is the value of the concept of authenticity? That is the question of Paris Baguette. Paris Baguette is a bakery chain borne in a young, vibrant cosmopolitan city of lights stradding a mighty river of commerce, except it's not on the Seine, it's the Han, and the city is not called Paris, it's Seoul in South Korea, and thanks to its business acumen, the chain spread quickly to Asia and parts of North America. It's interesting to see an Asian bakery pretending to be a Parisian boulongerie catering to Asian clienteles (which is fine, since the menu is mostly tweaked to their tastes) in their stores in Asia and North America. The French knows how to bake well, and I don't think they mind the Koreans borrowing their concepts as long as they acknowledge that it's still a Korean bakery making Western style products, and for the most part, they do. However, what would happen when they show up at the city of their culinary inspirations? They can either a) be true to themselves and establish their credentials as a Korean bakery with French influences (i.e. stay true to their Asian roots and customers) or b) pretend that they are a true bona-fide Parisian Patisserie/Boulangerie, ignore the Asian stuff they make everywhere else, and create a weird scenario where Korean tourists to their Parisian stores will not be able to recognize much of the items on offer here, and go home with the realization that the stuff they have been eating all along at home...was a bit of a lie. Such a cultural culinary quandry are not new - McDonalds, Krispy Kreme and KFC modify their menus to cater to local tastes. As do DeliFrance and Carrefour stores. Paris baguette chose b) - when I walk through the door I realized that most of the items are unique to this store (not sure about the store in 2e/Opera), and unlike the kinda-expensive-but-still-asian bakery back home, it's now kinda like a Maison Keyser/Patisserie Paul, except more expensive, and not exactly true to its roots. The flavors of their baguettes? Middle of the road - I had them and are not sure if they are any better, or any worse than any average ones sold in the city. Unfortunately, this also includes the stuff sold in the automatic ovens at Monoprix/Carrefour locations. I think a photo from Paris Baguette's overseas locations can tell you the story - it's an obviously photoshopped photo of a supposed Parisian street scene with a Paris Baguette bakery on the corner. A quick look will reveal that such a scene does not exist in reality, but it is certainly put together by a talented graphics artist from their corporate offices in Seoul, and looks quite pretty hung in their stores worldwide...except in this one - the montage is nowhere to be seen, much like the typical blue awnings in their stores. Suppose if someone plaster that same photo into this store? Will they laugh? Or get mad? If they do, why? How would you fairly rate this? Is it a Korean bakery running a Potemkin village French bakery in Paris? Or a Korean bakery pretending to be a French bakery based in Paris doing Asian style products, just so they can modify their corporate story and erase history? Seriously. PB. Give up the charade. Be true to your Asian customers.
It is closed to the hotel I stayed. The service was ggod and the food was tasty. I had breakfast several times when I stayed here. I loved latte here. Tastes better than I had before.

It was a must to visit a Paris Baguette while in Paris after visiting several locations back home in the states. Like duh ? This is a tradition that I indulge with yummy French pastries and coffee . This location was so pretty and they had macarons which I think I bought every flavor they had lol. Me and my mini and cousin truly enjoyed our sweet treats and coffee and I bought a few loaves of bread and croissants to take back on the train for later. Service was wonderful and the ambiance was very pretty. Now I can scratch off the OG location :) read more
Large selection for small corner shop. Most signs were in French so it was hard to tell what was on some of the sandwiches. They were all prepared already & then they'd warm them if meant to be. Service was pretty fast but a bit chaotic as no real line. The hot dog in pretzel was nice but a lot of mustard & roll was pretty hard/dry after rewarm. The veggie & goat cheese was delicious on super soft roll. White chocolate bread was ok but mainly a baguette w/ chocolate chips on top. Great seating out front under awnings. read more
Ran across this cute little bakery (which was one of the favorites of our tour guide). They have a wide selection of treats and at a great price too. I tried a little bit of the coffee one and my roommate gave me her mango macaron (she had asked for a chocolate one and she's allergic to mango). Quite tasty! 2025 #65 read more

Pricey and touristy, this place is in a great location. Hidden off of the Place du Chatelet, it is modern but cozy. The pastries are delicious, and they have exquisite quiches and small sandwiches. The quality of what you'll find here is good, it's only a matter of price. Everything is expensive. read more
