One of my Yelp friends made a post about $3 medium drink rewards this past week for Paris Baguette rewards members, and when I checked my account dashboard, I saw that I had two such rewards: $3 Latte or Macchiato and $3 Matcha or Chai. I just so happened to pass by this Paris Baguette while visiting Kearny Mesa, and since I was getting thirsty, I decided to stop in and see what drink I could get. Unlike the other Paris Baguette locations close to where I reside, this Paris Baguette is actually located inside Zion Market on Clairemont Mesa Blvd right off the 163 freeway. It's kind of like Tous Les Jours embedded inside Hmart where it'd be impossible to stop by the bakery without first entering the grocery store. There were a couple of customers waiting to order, and then when it was my turn, the cashier (Isabella?) went to make some drinks. They seemed short-staffed because it took her a couple of minutes to get to me, though she did acknowledge my presence and said she'd be with me in "just a second" even though it took way more than a second lol. At least I had ample time to peruse the menu. At first, I was planning to get an Iced Strawberry Matcha Latte, whose regular price for a medium size would be $6.50. However, I noticed another TV that was showing the seasonal drinks. I was getting annoyed by that TV because it kept flipping back and forth between two different screens, which really hampered my decision-making process. The screens would change at random times, so I hastily came to a decision of the Iced Caramel Apple Matcha Latte, though I wasn't totally sure if either reward would work on that specialty latte. When Isabella was ready to take my order, she did confirm the Iced Caramel Apple Matcha Latte would qualify for the $3 reward, but then I had to ask which reward? Since it was a matcha drink, it could have worked for "$3 Matcha or Chai", but since it was also a latte drink, it could have also worked for "$3 Latte or Macchiato". Surely, Paris Baguette could have been a little less ambiguous about which reward such a drink would qualify for, especially since "Chai Latte" is also a drink they offer. I showed Isabella both rewards, and she determined that the Iced Caramel Apple Matcha Latte would work for the "$3 Matcha or Chai" reward. I had noticed that the drink was listed as $7.99 on the menu, but it actually rang up as $6.99 at the register. My goal was to get the most expensive drink that would qualify for either $3 reward, and $7.99 was the highest price tag I saw; there easily could have been another $7+ drink out there that I could have ordered to maximize my savings, but oh well... Isabella went off to do something as I was paying, but forgot to press a button on her end to request payment, so the payment process took a little longer than expected. If the TV screen hadn't kept flipping back and forth so much, and if that particular line item had shown the correct price, I could easily have chosen a different drink instead. But no complaints about the drink itself. It took just a couple of minutes for them to prepare my Iced Caramel Apple Matcha Latte. I was expecting them to give me a straw, but they have them on a counter by the right wall. I had an Iced Matcha Latte from Dunkin' earlier in the week, and it was on the order of "meh". This matcha latte was way better, though it certainly wouldn't be fair to compare a seasonal flavored matcha latte from a patisserie to a regular matcha latte from an average fast food chain that sells dry, day old tasting donuts lol. The latte was topped with the caramel drizzle, and it paired so well with the matcha that even if the matcha tasted grassy to begin with, I didn't sense it at all. I also thought the drink was at just the right consistency without being overly frothy, like the matcha latte from Dunkin'. Also, it's worth noting I'm not particularly a fan of matcha, so if you are, rest assured that you can get good quality matcha here! Is it the best matcha in town? If you're asking me, you're asking the wrong person LOL. Overall, it's a pretty decent Paris Baguette to go to, and it will definitely keep you company as you do your shopping in Zion Market. If you're not a rewards member, don't forget to join and download the app! These kinds of deals show up from time to time, but you don't necessarily get notified when they come up; instead, you'll have to check the app on a consistent basis or be Yelp friends with someone who posts these kinds of deals on their Yelp feed lol. Like yours truly for example; I'll let you know they're issuing these $3 medium drink rewards for the next two weeks as well. You're welcome :)

I ordered s'more latte via the app. When i got there, they couldn't find my drink. When they did, the drink looked like it's been sitting there for a while. It didn't taste like much of anything. I'm surprised that it had no sweet taste at all. I asked for no ice so it wasn't full. It's inside Zion so plenty of parking. It's a small bakery but it looks like there's plenty of pastries and desserts to choose from.

We love Paris Baguette! Thank you from the UCSDH Quality and Patient safety team! You went above and beyond and we are so grateful for your kindness. The cakes were delicious! This shop is so cute, clean and cozy. Service is top tier! If I could rate you 6 stars I would!

I was so impressed with this bakery inside the Zion supermarket! The mural on the wall is cool and represents SD very well. The entire bakery area is exceptionally clean, organized, and beautifully maintained. Every display case was fully stocked with an incredible variety of fresh pastries, cakes, breads, and desserts, making it hard to choose just one item. The pastries were absolutely delicious--fresh, flavorful, and perfectly baked. The cakes were not only tasty but also beautifully decorated and looked like they came from a high-end bakery. You can really tell that a lot of care goes into both the presentation and quality of everything they make. It's refreshing to find a bakery that consistently offers such a great selection while keeping everything looking spotless and inviting. I will definitely be coming back to try more of their amazing treats. Highly recommended for anyone with a sweet tooth or looking for fresh baked goods!

I've been looking everywhere for the circle croissant with filling. I found it here!! It was super soft and flavorful! Been craving it ever since I bought it yesterday. Definitely will be stopping by here again to get it again. Maybe try a different flavor next time! The service is pretty fast you serve yourself and then get rang up at the front. The place is clean and has lot of variety to choose from!

This a great pastry, hot beverage cafe. Tons of options. From tiramisu tarts to pastry franks. Drinks range from coffee to smoothies. They also have full cakes and slices. Also great for snacks and a full meal. I recommend the pepperoni pizzeta. This pizza has a nice croissant bite to it.

Such a great place for coffee and pastries. So many to choose from. They offer both savory and sweet pastries, including croissants, danishes, fruity tarts, and cakes. I ordered the Pastry Frank, which had buttery, flaky dough wrapped around a frank- simple but really satisfying. I also got a hot hazelnut coffee that tasted freshly brewed. The cashier was super sweet with a huge smile and she made the experience feel welcoming. One thing to note: the parking and entrance are a bit confusing right now, and there's some construction happening around the store.

Picked up a last minute birthday cake. It was a hit! The fruits were fresh and the cake was not too sweet. I recommend Paris Baguette for the cakes.

BUCHI

This Paris Baguette branch is by far the busiest one I've ever visited. It's almost always packed, no matter what day you go, which says a lot about how popular it is. If you're looking for freshly baked pastries, bread, and breakfast items, this is definitely one of the best spots. Everything I've tried has been fresh and well made, from their pastries to their breakfast selection. One thing that pleasantly surprised me was finding Buchi, a Filipino favorite. If you've never had it, Buchi is a chewy glutinous rice pastry with a sweet mung bean filling. Seeing it brought back wonderful childhood memories, as it was one of my favorite snacks growing up. Whether you're stopping in for a quick breakfast, a cup of coffee with a pastry, or taking home freshly baked bread, this location consistently delivers quality. It's easy to see why it's always so busy, I'm a regular here and usually stop by almost every week.

Paris Baguette has moved with Zion market. They are still inside Zion and have the same open layout. Grab a trey and tongs and grab which pastry you want. This time I got the ham and cheese croissant. It wasn't as crispy and flakey as I'd like. I think if I took it home and tossed in the toaster oven for a few minutes woulda done it wonders. They do have coffee drinks which are a great complement to many of the pastries. I think I might stick with the chocolate croissant that I usually get from then. Service was friendly and efficient. Zion is now located just past the 805 offramp. They have their own parking lot so no problem getting to Paris Baguette.

Steven F.

Really great service! This is inside the new and improved Zion Market right off the 163. While there aren't very much options left this late in the day, their Nutella Belgian waffles was absolutely delicious and highly recommended!

I came in to grab a Korean bbq seasonal item. So good! I wish it had a little more seasoning, but it was good nonetheless. They do offer to heat it up but I opted to take it as is. Great service and a very clean atmosphere. from me

When traffic isn't moving and you're babysitting why not pull over and get some goodies. Located inside the new Zion market. With an abundance of parking it's a quick pit stop. The cases showcase anything your heart desires from sweet to savory. I quickly grabbed a tray as I circled all the choices before narrowing it down to my top three. After filling my tray I brought it to the cashier to be rung up with an iced fall coffee to get back on the road again. The staff was happy and constantly restocking leaving no hungry belly behind. I loved the clean black and white decor giving Paris vibes. Until my sugar runs low and pasties are on my mind I am sure I will be back soon. The blueberry cheesecake and dirt worm donut were the best! Nothing like actually being in Italy but for a hop skip and happy boys face this was a perfect for today!

Absolutely a must-try! I also tried the carnitas croissant when it first joined the menu, and it was okay, but the bibimbap is the one I'd order again. The mini croissants are adorable and absolutely delicious. Both the minis and the signature croissant are so light and airy! Highly recommend grabbing the minis if they're available because they do sell out. When they're gone, I happily default to the full-size signature croissant. If you have a sweet tooth, the s'mores croissant is another must. They torch the handmade marshmallow right in front of you, so you get to watch it melt before digging in. Such a fun presentation! The iced coconut cream latte is small but tasty and on the sweeter side, so a good choice if you like sweet coffee. Personally, the pastries and treats are what keep me coming back. Service:We've gotten lucky with fairly short lines on our weekend visits. On our first visit, a Saturday, the owner stopped by each table to ask how everyone liked their food and hear their thoughts. That personal touch really stayed with me. You can tell how much care goes into this place! Ambience:Lots of seating, both indoors and outdoors, plus live music on Saturdays! It's a lovely spot to sit and enjoy your pastries. I live nearby and walk over, so I can't speak to the parking. An easy five stars and a must-try when you're in San Diego!

If you want to have an amazing dessert experience this is the place! There is another location north of this location about a 7-minute drive but there are not as many tables. The same inventory but the parking is even more limited. The ordering workflow can be confusing at this location but here's how it works. The line on the left lets you view the dessert display that line will get you to the cashier but patrons think the line starts at the cashier. It does not, it can be confusing. I recommend having one person in your party stand in line near the register and have another party stand in line near the dessert display case on the left side. Swap places with your party if they want a better visual of the desserts. The coffee, tea and lemonade are good here, just be patient with your order it's a process here but the wait is worth it.

Some items were to my taste, others not so much. Creme brulee cheesecake - The brulee is very slight, not enough to form a sugar top or anything. More just like a good slice of cheesecake. Cookie - This was my favorite, strong vanilla flavor from the icing, a pretty densely baked cookie. Very large, worth the $4.50 in my opinion. Carrot cake tres leches - Not for me, the cinnamon was overpowering and I would've liked to taste more of the other spices. Pandan cake - The texture is slightly different, almost bouncy like some tapioca or rice flour was used. The pandan flavor is very present; I enjoyed it, reminiscent of some Southeast Asian desserts. A bit on the sweet side. Mango cupcake - Very delicate whipped frosting, overall good but nothing standout to me Passion fruit tart - Very good. Can be a bit sweet for some, I think some of my coworkers didn't enjoy the gritty sugar in the center filling, but I thought the flavor was excellent. Coconut cake - Also not very popular among my coworkers; for me it was a little sweet but also a little one note. Not my favorite. Hojicha cheesecake - Good! Strong tea flavor which balances out the sweetness, and possibly the most unique flavor out of all the desserts. If I were to return here for something, it would be for this. Pavlova - The eggy smell is too strong. Least popular item among my coworkers. The custard inside is decent and the dessert itself is beautiful, more of an instagram dessert.
