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

worst location ever. I've been trying to give this location a chance since it's the only location close to where i live and other locations are in the next cities. Every time i come here, whether it's at 11AM, 3pm or 7:30PM they're always out of almost everything. It's like their baking crew are too lazy to make sure to restock pastries? i've worked in the food industry and i know restocking goodies are a basic necessity for a successful bakery. Location need to hire better employees or train them better or pay them better! read more

I love Paris baguette and had never been to this location even with it in my area of the city. Last night, (Monday 2/9 around 545pm), the hubs and I decided to pop in after perusing the menu online. We were only there 5 mins and decided it wasn't the place for us. Not busy at all. No one even spoke to us. We walked around checking out the items available. It was pretty empty. When I was closer to the counter, a young man was standing at the register staring straight ahead, I said "hello", no response. A young woman standing behind the counter I hadn't noticed at first had stepped into my view and I thought we made eye contact but I guess not, no greeting. We decided being ignored wasn't worth spending our money on, and I didn't see what I had come in to try. A simple hello couldn't changed this perception. Guest service goes a long way but I guess not at Paris baguette on Branham lane. Even as we walked out the woman standing near the door straightening a sign or something and didn't even say a word. Disappointing read more

I was really hungry at lunchtime today while out running errands and the nearest place that sounded good was Paris Baguette. The bakery was bright and modern with several tables available for seating. I selected a crab meat croquette, pastry frank, and a box of chocolate cream puffs. After I paid, the staff warmed my food and quickly brought it to my table. I know this is a popular chain and tons of people like their food, but it wasn't to my taste. The inside of the crab meat croquette was more like a crab salad and the flavor was off, plus they only give you a little bit of it. The pastry frank, which is basically a hot dog in a croissant, also tasted off. I took two bites and threw it away. The chocolate cream puffs were okay. The chocolate coating on the outside tasted good and there was lots of light chocolate cream inside. I liked that they were nice and cold since they came from a glass refrigerator case. Overall I was disappointed and probably won't return. read more

I love the desserts that Paris Baguette makes. It's not too sweet and the cream on many of their desserts weren't heavy. I decided to try their strawberry cream croissant and chocolate cronut. The strawberry cream croissant was a mouthful that you can share with another. The chocolate cronut had a good amount of cream inside the croissant shape donut. Croissant wasn't dry or flaky. I really enjoy the desserts there and I see they have some new desserts to try for the upcoming St Patrick's day on their website. Come take a look. read more

There is a variety of delicious pastries and cakes. The place is clean and the employees are friendly.

Paris Baguette has a pretty good rewards program, and new offers show up in the app from time to time. I took advantage of the free pastry with any purchase offer last week and ordered two items for pickup at this location. On my way, I got a call from the staff saying that both of my selections were out, but I could get a credit card refund online, cash refund at the store, or I could pick something else at the store. Since I was almost there already, I decided to just go there and see what's available. There's a short line as usual. (I had been to this location many times.) When it's my turn, the staff told me I could pick any pastry items in the store, or get 1 slice of cake. No need to pay any price difference. Very generous of them. At 4:30pm, they still had quite a few pastry options left, just not my usual go-tos. I liked their almond croissants and noticed that they had raspberry almond croissants. So, I got 2 of those. They're like fresh after heating up in the toaster oven the next day. The raspberry jam was surprisingly good and addicting, and there was quite a lot of it, in addition to the almond paste. It's now my new favorite! (My old favorite was their chocolate supreme croissant with its delicious and light chocolate cream filling, plus smooth & rich chocolate dip on the outside.) I still haven't seen the raspberry almond croissant in the app, though. I guess when I have a craving for it again, I have to come to the store and order it in person. One thing worth nothing is that unlike other PB locations, this location has the brewed coffee dispenser in the cream & sugar area so you can easily refill your coffee. ;-) read more

Came back for some beautiful tasty pastries. We were not disappointed.We had the curry croquette, blueberry cheese danish, strawberry cream croissant, chocolate dipped croissant, chai latte and mocha. Everything was great. I enjoyed the chai more than expected. Great job. The cashier was nice and efficient. We waited a long time for the coffees. I like the bustle of the cafe. The seats could be softer to lend a more comfortable relaxing atmosphere. read more

This spot offers excellent pastries and convenient parking. The staff is welcoming, and the service is fast and efficient.

This happened on Feb 7. I was very disappointed when I went to pick up my cake order (that I did online on Feb 2). They did not have it! If they knew they weren't going to have it, they should have called me or email me! Can't believe a bakery of cakes don't understand how important cakes are in any occasion! Had to call another location and drive there when I was on my way to the surprise 60th birthday party! read more

I come to this location fairly regularly in the mornings to get some work done, and I genuinely enjoy the coffee. I usually try to mind my own business, but it's hard not to notice what goes on around you when you're a frequent customer. Unfortunately, the management here has been very disappointing. There appears to be a clear issue with professionalism and favoritism. One employee I believe her name is Blanca, consistently spends time in the back kitchen engaging in flirtatious behavior with male coworkers rather than focusing on work. The kitchen area is visible from the seating area, so this isn't something that goes unnoticed. What's especially frustrating is the obvious shift in behavior when a higher up is present. Suddenly, there's a sense of urgency and productivity that's otherwise lacking. As a regular customer, the contrast is very noticeable. I wouldn't be as bothered if this didn't seem to affect the overall work environment, but it creates an uncomfortable and unprofessional atmosphere. I come here to enjoy coffee and get work done, not to watch employees openly flirt instead of doing their jobs. It really makes me question the level of oversight and management at this location. read more

I ordered a green tea strawberry cake online for pickup for a coworker's birthday. But when we cut it open, it's just a strawberry cake with cream, no green tea layer at all like the online picture. Everyone was disappointed. I called the store but it goes straight to voicemail, no one picked up. If you order here, please check your cakes before walking out! read more

Cake ordering and pickup this time was quick and easy. I called and someone answered phone right away. I ordered 1 cake but ended up getting a second one at the shop. I got a rabbit cake and asked them to write happy Birthday which they obliged but wrote it the wrong way. Should write Happy Birthday with the rabbit's face turned towards the person not other way. Otherwise the birthday person gets to see the butt of the rabbit instead of the face. Also, they forgot uo include candles for both out cakes and I forgot to check. Cakes were delicious! I definitely would order yhe rabbit cake again . read more

My husband and I have back to back 2 day birthdays. I ordered my husband's birthday cake a week before pickup date and he just went to pick it up this afternoon. Not only the cake was not made for our reservation, but the person who was at the counter didn't apologize to him and just said " You can just re-order it or can get refund". DON'T ORDER CAKES FROM HERE!! The reason it was not made for our birthday cake order was " it was a rare cake". This bakery not only ruined 1 person's birthday but 2 people's birthdays. One mistake in bakery business is enough to lose some long dedicated customers for good. read more

Pastries are great. Fresh. The tall woman, behind the counter, i am assuming the owner, is very snippy and , honestly, quite scary. I would buy their expensive pastries much more often, but she scares me... She needs to stay away from cashier. Controlling, and way too aggressive. Such a shame...losing my business, and I eat a lot!​​​​ read more

I ordered two cakes for my Mom's birthday and I paid extra for 2 additional chocolate plaque's. My brother in law picked up the cakes and brought them home. And when I reviewed and opened the cakes, the extra chocolate plaque's I ordered were no where to be found. Which was disappointing. I called the store and was sent to voicemail multiple times. Didn't matter what time of day I called, they never answered the phone. I live pretty far from here so it's not like I can just go in person. So now either I take a very long drive to get back my $5 or I just lose out $5. read more

Pre-COVID we held lots of gatherings and potlucks at work. I'm not sure how we managed it because now post-COVID, it seemed like going to lunch is such a luxury. There's no time to even get up to use the restroom most days. Anyway, when we had the potluck at work, I remember my team member took the Japanese cheesecake home as there were lots of leftovers. I remembered him saying the next day that both he and his wife enjoyed the cheesecake very much. For this coffee break that I'm conducting as a Zoom meeting later, I bought he and his wife this cheesecake. It's a small token of appreciation and deliciousness. It is light and not too sweet. I was happy to be able to do this. When Gavin and I came Tuesday afternoon, most of their pastries were gone. We were able to get tirtamisu tarts (very crumbly, good, but a bit too bitter), and the potato/ham croissants, and the broccoli and cheese danish. The croissants and danish was very good, I suggest warming it up in the oven and not eat it cold / room temperature like me. I cannot complain. Clean store! Service was nice. read more

I've been coming here for years for all of my events cake needs Today I went to a location in Santa Clara and I ordered a coffee and some pastries. I drove back to my area and I realized I didn't like my coffee after I took two sips You could tell it was new So I came here to ask them if I can trade it for another drink and I provided my receipt I was kind and asked nicely , as someone who's worked in these settings I understand how mean customers can impact your day. The lady at the front immediately gave me an ugly attitude She looked at me receipt and said "you added caramel to your maple drink, that's disgusting" And I let her know it was just bitter and not sweet at all She just kept saying I need to go back to the Santa Clara location and she can't fix it for me or change for another drink . After today , this location doesn't deserve loyalty This lady shouldn't work in a customer facing role is she lacks what a customer facing employee should have . If it were my company , I'd prefer not to have her on my team Even my 8 year old said "wow she had an attitude" I didn't get her name But if you see this face Beware read more

Disappointing that their customer service & professionalism has tanked. In a nutshell, WE PRE-ORDERED A CAKE, WENT TO PICK IT UP & THEY GAVE THE WRONG CAKE AND LIED ABOUT IT. Pre-ordered a cake in December 2022 (fruit based) through the app & received a confirmation email etc. Arrive to the establishment to pick it up. I wait in the car, my husband goes to get the cake. The employee appeared confused with our pickup. My husband showed him the confirmation email, the employee goes to the back of the bakery & returned with a box. My husband peered into the box & saw a different color cake. The employee reassured him it was the correct one. We arrive to my parents' house; it is the wrong cake (chocolate based, not even remotely close to the one we ordered). Embarrassing!!! I was furious & emailed feedback since they were closed, at this point. Unsure where the feedback went (to corporate, or the bakery directly) because I waited 2 months for a reply, NO RESPONSE!!! What a joke. See the photo of the cake I ordered via the app, and the one I received. I understand if the cake was out of stock, but it is the employee's responsibility to be truthful and transparent. Also, this defeats the purpose of pre-ordering a cake and being charged for it in advance. Overall, disappointed in this establishment and the incompetent employees. read more

Phenomenal customer service , yummy cakes and great vibes aptly define this Paris Baguette location in San Jose. Placed an order on a short notice and that too for 3 cakes and the turn around time along with the quality of each of those was just amazing. We ordered Blueberry Chiffon, chocoholic Chiffon and Chocolate Strawberry cake and they were wiped out right after they were cut and being served. The Chiffon cakes had a smooth taste and the right sweetness balance in there which made them a hit. You can't go wrong with Chocolate Strawberry cake and the kids at the party gorged on it like there was no tomorrow :) Alexa was a great help while she brought the orders out, got those candles along with and as well made sure that I was able to get them to my car just fine. Definitely recommend them for their great customer service and amazing cakes that they have to offer!! read more

I placed an online order of a cake and 4 Tiramisu Tarts on Monday for pickup on Wednesday at 7:30am . I arrived at 7:40am this morning to pick up my order and I was told cake is ready but they don not have any Tiramisu tarts and they could switch for cheese tarts. Now why would you wait until I show up to pick my order that was placed with a 48 hour notice to tell me you don't have what I pre-ordered and pre-paid for! I was very disappointed, as this was all for a birthday. They could have called me or emailed me to let me know prior to arrival so I could change my order. I will not be going to this location any longer, this was my first and last time there, unfortunately.... read more

Love the pastries here! Ham and cheese, chocolate, and almond croissants are our favorites, but haven't tried all of them yet! I got the iced Nutella coffee with oat milk and half the pumps. The coffee seems strong but honestly it wasn't the best coffee I've had. I like that there is seating and lots of light in this bakery. The area is a bit sketchy. Next to a sprouts but several houseless people around. If you have kids, you'll have to train them so they only touch the pastries with their eyes until after the purchase :). Came here to get a cake for a birthday but they didn't have the cake I wanted. Cake selection seemed a little more limited than the location in Saratoga. Customer service wasn't the friendliest. Would be back for the pastries, but would skip the coffee. read more

My daughters bought me the citrus cake for Mother's Day. Unfortunately, there was no citrus flavoring at all. It was like a vanilla cake with lots of whipped cream on top. The lemon filling was a very thin ring around the very outside portion of the cake to causing the illusion that there would be lemon filling Inside the cake however it was only a small ring all the way around the outside of the cake very disappointing. read more

I've stopped in plenty of times for pastries or drinks, but I always forget they also sell cakes. Today I was told about 3 hours before dinner that we needed a last minute birthday cake though and I remembered Paris Baguette has cakes after a few unsuccessful calls to other bakeries. They answered right away, the young woman who answered was very pleasant, told me it was no problem for them to set the cake aside until I could get there just before dinner and also offered to write happy birthday on it. When I arrived, they got the cake out and asked if I needed candles, which was perfect since I forgot to grab the one so had already on my way out the door. I thought it would be an upcharge, but they said they were free. They also included a plastic cake knife and matches too. The cake was delicious and a huge hit (it was the strawberry soft cream cake). read more

Usually i have no issue with Paris Baguettes cakes so i never have to check them. I didn't notice it till now that it had been smashed!

But now i know why. Its infuriating b/c its for Mothers day and this really small cake was expensive to be looking like this. read more

Full cakes and some other items are in the glass display cases up at the front and there was also menu boards that you could order.
