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

This place has a wide variety of pastries and savory dishes. I went for the pastries. The croissant donut and chocolate croissant are flakey and delicious. So glad I bought them. This is not your typical bakery. With the exception of cakes, you, the customer, serve yourself the food. You take a tray and tongs, place wax paper on the tray, then walk about the bakery helping yourself to the pastries or savories you want. When you're done, you walk over to the cashier to pay. For cakes, you stand at the counter for service. The place is bright and airy. Prices are reasonable. Quality of the food is great. read more

This place is absolutely incredible. If you have little kid toddler baby things it shines. Pick your sugar thing then go hit target and their dreams come true. The food here is so perfect. It's freshly made, portions are pretty in charge and the prices are friendly. It's a little static inside. Could be warmer and family friendlier but it's fine. read more

I swung by this Paris Baguette on my way in to work one morning for a quick coffee and a bite for breakfast. The food and coffee were up to par with other locations I have been to, and the service was solid. The shop wasn't the most glamorous location I've ever been to, but it was well kept and nice. No complaints really! read more

Paris Baguette has truly become a go-to favorite for our family and for a good reason. The quality is always on point, from the first bite to the last crumb, whether we're picking up a few pastries or ordering cakes for a special occasion. We visit frequently, and every time we're met with beautifully displayed, freshly made items that look as good as they taste. The selection is incredible and classic with European inspired pastries, fluffy breads, and stunning cakes that are full of flavor without being overly sweet. Our little one is absolutely obsessed with the rainbow cake, it's become a celebration staple in our home. The colors, the texture, the light whipped cream it's the perfect kid-friendly treat that still feels special and elegant. We often grab a mix of our favorites: Buttery croissants Fresh fruit pastries Soft milk bread Strawberry shortcake And of course... that rainbow cake! What really sets Paris Baguette apart is consistency. Every time, the pastries are fresh, the cakes are moist and flavorful, and the presentation is always beautiful. Plus, the shop is well-kept, organized, and welcoming, a lovely spot to pop in for a quick treat or linger a little longer with a coffee. Whether you're treating yourself, grabbing snacks for guests, or celebrating something special, Paris Baguette delivers every single time. Highly recommend for families, dessert lovers, and anyone who appreciates top-notch baked goods. read more

Stopped in for a quick snack. Got the sausage croissant and also tried the sugar twist donut, both were good tho not warm which is expected. Service isnt the quickest but they have good attitudes and try their best. Have enough tables to chill and work or study. Fairly clean. Would come back for another bakery item or snack. read more

Did folks just generally forget how to make a decent latte or cappuccino? Both take chocolate powder on top, mostly the latte, sometimes if requested on a cappuccino. Followed by a latte is steamed frothy milk, not just over heated hot milk that burns your tongue , ouchie. So in short, not impressed with the coffee drinks, right up there with Starbucks lacking in coffee abilities. The pastries were yummy, no complaints there, on point. Service this is get a tray or box or paper bag, depending on how much you're getting & if you're staying or taking to go. Ambiance - meh , a tad cold inside. Found it interesting that you can bring food from some other place & eat there, what gives. Not sure I'll be back, interesting maybe not my thing. read more

Needed a place to chat with a friend after lunch and stopped by the Paris Baguette. This parking lot is always busy with Daiso and Mitsuwa in the same location. The inside of this place is quite pleasant, nice and bright with a good amount of seating. My friend had a latte and I had a loose leaf green tea, and we shared a piece of their NY style cheesecake. The selection of pastries and dessert was very good. The cheesecake was very nicely decorated with Christmas theme and tasted great without being overly sweet. The tea quality was pretty decent. Overall it's a pleasant place to enjoy a drink and some dessert. read more

Beware of fruit flies. They were EVERYWHERE in the shelves, flying around and chilling directly on the pastries. Flagged this to the employee and he confirmed the store is already aware. Mentioned they've been having this fruit fly issue for a while now and tried fumigation. read more

I've been here a few times and every time had a good experience. The pastries are always fresh . The service is prompt and the place is calm and inviting. I've never had a chance to enjoy the seating since I'm always picking up my Oder and rushing off . But if you have the time , it's a really well designed space to sit and relax while you sip your coffee and your pastry. Would definitely recommend. read more

Update after years! My comment last time was to update the furniture, which they beautifully have. They have storage cases which hold the items. Love you guys! read more

Stopped in with my wife while visiting family in the Bay Area and decided to grab a few pastries. Our favorites were the fruit danish and the apple turnover, and both were light, crisp, and made just right. The place was clean, and the staff was polite and took the time to answer our questions. It was a nice little treat on the go and really hit the spot. read more

I love this place, I usually order their drip coffee with is very good. The bastries are always good. The only problem is you don't know what to choose. My only disappointment is that their savory pastries contain pork, almost all of them, since I don't eat pork, I feel left out. The cakes are delicious and so fresh, prices for pastries are very reasonable and the staff is always nice. read more

My wife bought me a birthday cake; soft cream. The cake cost $50 and literally had only 7 strawberries on top with 3 puffs of whipped cream. It looked so bare on a totally white cake. Very disappointing for the price. We went out to dinner and saw cakes at another bakery that were $10 less with much better decorations on the top. We will not shop at Paris Baguette in the future even though it's closer to our house. read more

I made an order at PARIS BAGUETTE SAN JOSE, 685 Saratoga Avenue, San Jose, CA 95129, on March 6, 2026. When checking the order at home, I found one item was missing - 1 x Raspberry Jam Tart topped with Nutella(R) (1 x $9.49) = $9.49. I called the store, and they confirmed the item was missing from the package but available if I drove back to the store. I could not drive back, so I asked for a refund to the original card, and they said okay, but that it would take 10 business days. I mistakenly agreed. More than 20 calendar days passed, and of course there was no refund. Beware: I was charged for an item I did not receive, and the refund they promised was not processed. Double-check your items, or better, avoid this place. read more

This branch operates in a way that feels misleading and unprofessional. At this branch in particular, the bread prices keep going up while the portion sizes keep getting smaller. Prices increase, sizes decrease, and the posted prices do not match what is charged. What's worse, the price posted on the shelf does not match the price charged at checkout. Staff acknowledge the issue but take no action. This is unacceptable. When I pointed this out, the cashier said they already knew about it but did nothing. If you are aware of the issue, you should either update the price label or honor the posted price. Instead, they charged whatever price they wanted and simply said, "I know," and that was it. This feels dishonest and purely profit-driven. I won't never return. read more

Smaller PB. Selection is slim to none mid afternoon. This store feels cramped. Not as good as the one in westborough. However I do have to say this store has a real espresso machine, not the 7/11 machine that Westborough has. The coffee was really good. Rating more like 3.5 read more

Bunch of little flies in all the containers. Not sanitary. There is a gap on top of all the cabinets allowing them to fly in. I wouldn't be surprised if there are maggots. Told workers and they said they have been telling the owner for a while now. read more

We had cake from here since 10 years ago almost every year. Price has gone from less than30 to 45.99. Inflation I get it. But they are even cheap on giving out plates and charging on Candles? read more

Just munching and working. Location m: Parking plenty, sharing with Daiso and Japanese market. Can get hectic Prices: According to location Food/ Pastries: Made fresh, sweet to taste , salads and sandwiches good size and flavor Ambience: Has enough room, owners can work on their areas and tide them up as they become available. Tables can be cluttered with wraps and foils, lack of care in the appearance. read more

We ordered several varieties of croissants to go as well as a slice of soufflé cheesecake. I also ordered a latte lavender and came away with a lavender matcha tea! I repeated the order twice but it was still wrong. Only to drive off with the wrong drink. The worse thing was the barista was coughing and covering his mouth ( no mask) and continued to touch the product. Yuck! This is a busy location with high traffic and very packed parking lot. The seating is sparce within the cafe so you might want to find a nearby park to eat the pastries. Just be sure to check you get the beverage you ordered. Also it would be great if they offered gluten free options. read more

This location is further away from where I live, but I always prefer coming here if I have extra time. I think this location has the best customer service out of all the ones I have been to. All the staffs are friendly and welcoming. But most of the other locations, their workers always seemed unhappy to work there, even the owner/manager always gave me unhappy facial expressions like they didn't want to be there. They always have what I'm looking for as well. My daughter loves their cakes so that's what we get from them most of the time. Plus birthday cakes for all of our birthdays. read more

Popular spot. There weren't many people outside in the patio areas which is perfect for morning sunlight, but the place is always packed inside with busy parking lot/Strawberry Plaza/Mitsuwa Marketplace. Excellent customer service. Positive and clean vibes. Typical Paris Baguette standard. Pastries, cakes, tarts, breads, and everything else looks fully stocked inside. Got my hot mocha and delicious piece of matcha cream strawberry cake in no time. Daiso is next door. Customers look happy. There's always a group or Korean or Japanese women inside. It's the perfect chatter spot, but it can easily get crowded and narrow in space through the aisles. Good break time feeling. After going to Mitsuwa grocery store, I enjoy relaxing at Paris Baguette. Note, no trash bins outside in patio areas, so you will have to toss your trash inside or take them with you. I haven't been here in over 10 years. Looks the same. It's a happy place for matcha items, especially if you want to enjoy delicious and beautiful cakes here. read more

It used to do BOGO and now all I see is flies. I paid 20 for 4 pastries, I have to pick which one the flies doesn't is not on. Health inspector please come and check out the store read more

I've been to PB a number of times and have enjoyed their array of baked goods and coffee. However, yesterday (2/18/26) I was stunned to see numerous small flies in the center row of clear bins that housed unwrapped pastries that sadly looked delicious. The flies looked to be in nearly all of the enclosed bins as well as airborne in the shop. I've never seen this at this PB location before, but the owner truly must close up shop to deal with this problem. I can see you passed a health dept inspection in January, but this fly problem is clearly a health violation. Take care of this, PB! read more

The donut we tried was a sugar twist and it was a little greasy. The plain croissant was awesome. Partner's egg and cucumber was messy to eat, but tasty. And he also tried the hot dog croissant, he said it was not bad, but they don't assume you want it warmed, you have to tell them. Coffee was very good, but there were some grounds at the bottom of both cups. The restaurant was clean and easy to navigate, the baked goods were all beautiful to look at, too. Nice place to have a little breakfast while we waited for Daiso and the bookstore to open. read more

I love Paris baguette! I generally grab a few pastries and a cup of coffee - I find that it's not too over crowded I can sit bring my laptop and work some ... pastries are delicious - my favorite are tarts and an espresso or cup of coffee. read more

Love this location. Super busy parking lot, since it's right by Mitsuwa, so if you are meeting up with someone, make sure you get there with 10-15 minutes to spare for parking. Lots of pastry variety! This place also has more cake selections too and they have the mango coconut cake which is amazing! The cake is light but also flavorful and reminds me of a cake I would get from Chinatown when I was little. Love the ample seating both indoors and outdoors! Lots of light in the bakery as well. If you have little ones, you'll have to train them to touch either their eyes and not their hands until after purchasing the desserts :) The coffee isn't my favorite, but will definitely be back for the pastries and cakes! Almond croissant is much better than the almond triangle btw, and ham and cheese croissant is pretty good (4 year old approved, too haha)! read more

I typically don't like giving bad reviews but the staff here is really rude and bad. We purchased like $30 of pastries and when I asked for a paper bag the guy (possibly the owner) refused because they dont give bags with cake boxes. Then my mom tried to ask and the lady scolded her for asking. For goodness sake it's my mom's 71st birthday today. read more

Exceptional customer services and environmental cleanliness. Paris Baguettes environment is extremely welcoming. They bake fresh baked goods, pastries and cakes. They serve hand crafted coffees and various choice of beverage options. They recently remodeled inside this location, it's elegant. They offer indoor and outdoor seating options, surrounding magnificent landscaping. I recommend their incredible dedicant pastries, my favorite is pastel de nata! I'm Portuguese and I appreciate the authentic taste of the pastry! Wonderful cafe and bakery, highly recommend. read more
