Love the ambiance of the open store concept with lots of space to walk around the many pastries. Service was above average. They kept the place very clean. Winner was the sausage rolled pastry. Would have like it warmed up just a bit more. Unfortunately, the supreme croissant with raspberry and Nutella was major disappointment. The pastry itself did not offer that fluffy bite that I had expected. The raspberry was just jam, so a bit misleading with the name. For $8, and being one of their highest priced pastry other than cakes, I had higher expectations. read more

Someone had once gifted us some cake from a Paris Baguette bakery and I'd read about this place before so was curious to try it. Didn't even know this location existed. I stumbled across it when I was downtown and as I'm not downtown very often it seemed like a good opportunity to give it a try. They have both savoury and sweet items in this place but it's really more focused on the sweets. For savory they have cold sandwiches in the refrigerated section and the occasional pastry that's savory. (eg.Hash Brown Bread with Ham & Cheese) The pastries here are gorgeous and very tempting but the prices are really steep. There's a "Buy 6 or more maked goods, No Tax" offer but even with that...kinda hard to stomach the idea of paying for more than one item. The one that shocked me the most was probably the sourdough loaf for over $14! It wasn't even a large loaf either. It looked smaller than the average loaf of sourdough. A good loaf from a good bakery would probably cost a minimum of $6 if not more. This was more than twice that amount and not even the same amount of bread! After surveying all the tempting goods, I couldn't walk away with nothing so I settled on a Crookie for $8.29. We're a family of 3 in my house so it seemed like a good item to bring home as it was made up of 3 mini croissants that could easily be broken up and divided amongst 3 people. It actually broke apart on its own as soon as I picked it up with the tongs and tried to place it on my tray to bring to the checkout counter. The sales lady was kind enough to offer to let me choose a new one but I figured a new one might just break apart again so I stuck with the already broken one. Croissant mixed with chocolate chip cookie dough...hard to go wrong with that combination. It was a hit in our house and our daughter wants to have it again sometime. Always happy to find anything that brings a smile to my baby's face so I will likely bring back a Crookie again sometime. At the prices they charge though, can't see myself stepping into that place very often. read more

I tried their mochi donuts before and it was a hot day so we came in to grabbed some drinks. There are so many pretty desserts and yummy looking pastries but we were full so we only ordered drinks. The place is quite busy but does have a lot of seating available. We ordered mango smoothie and matcha frappe. My matcha frappe was ok but the mango slush was really too sweet. We couldn't finish the mango slush. read more

Paris Baguette - Bakeries Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

I think they deserve 3.5/5. Theyre not quite a 4/5 but yelp doesnt allow half stars. Ive been to several locations of Paris Baguette before, some in California, and one overseas (Singapore). Im a fan of Paris Baguette, and when I lived in California, it was one of my go-to bakeries. This Vancouver one is the worst one I've been to, and I've visited this one twice now. They follow the same concept as all the other stores. Brightly lit, appealing looking products. But my main gripe is their quality. The baked goods do not look fresh and look like theyve been sitting out a while, probably because they have been. You also dont notice the nice smell of freshly baked pastries from the back. And I did try a few of their baked goods. They tasted stale. Not super stale, but definitely did not taste freshly made. This is stark contrast to the other locations I have been to where they have high turnover and constantly bring out fresh products. I also tried their matcha frappe. Watered down, not enough matcha. Just very disappointing. Ive now tried 2 different cakes from them too - blueberry yogurt, and the fruit one with cream. These were kept in the fridge, and tasted as I would expect. Pretty good. Their main problem is their prices are too high. I dont mind paying more for a quality product. But you cant charge these price for stale food. Its not a difficult concept. If your baked goods are getting stale, put out new ones. If something isnt selling, dont sell it. People at the counter were very friendly. No complaints about the service. street metered parking, or use one of the nearby underground lots. read more

Amazing pastries! Wanted to try salt bread and they had it! The savory items , pepperoni pizza croissant and the curry bun were my favorite!! read more

Nice bakery cafe on Alberni Street. It is spacious, bright and has plenty of seats. With it's name, you would think you order from the staff however it is slightly different. There are trays and tongs that you use to pick the pastries from enclosed shelves, kind of like some Asian bakeries. We got the chocolate croissant, raspberry croissant and cheesecake bun. I also got a latte which was okay. There are a few Asian style/influenced buns but we didn't get any of those. The staff are friendly and courteous. read more

Does it seem like Metro Vancouver is being taken over by pizzerias, coffee shops & bakeries? Well it is! LOL. Just what I need in my life - more sugar & calories. Paris Baguette is opening up & expanding in Washington State (Alderwood Mall in Lynwood - first location now open) & up here in Metro Vancouver & already has locations across Canada. South Korean domination rolling ahead full steam & now here in town. PG has some serious competition ahead of it. There are plenty of heavy hitters already established here in Metro Vancouver when it comes to bakeries. See my reviews, as I've covered dozens of local bakeries. It's going to take a few visits to PG to decide if it's legit. Seriously, how many pastries & coffees could one eat in one sitting to decide a ranking!? However, for now based on hype & presentation - so far so good. Located downtown, on the fabulous 'Rodeo Drive' of Vancouver - Alberni St, PG has chosen to obviously come in via a big splash on this very expensive street known for its top designer wear & diamond stores. A second location is now open as well in Coquitlam. When Korean & French flavour meet head on, what could go wrong!? Stay tuned. read more

The savory and sweet pastries I tried were all delightful! It's a bit on the pricier side of pastries, but worth it. -The crab croquette was a solid 5/5. -Strawberry mochi donut 5/5. I just kept wanting to eat more of this one. - the raspberry cream filled croissant was a 4/5. I really liked the raspberry jam,m flavor, but after a while it got a bit too sweet. - the bag of garlic mini croissants 5/5. It had a sweet glaze on top of it, which I think was honey. It added a nice surprise to the garlic flavor. - strawberry cream cake 5/5. I thought this version of a strawberry chiffon cake was well balanced in sweetness and amount of cream to chiffon cake ratio read more

Huge selection of French and Korean pastries. It's self-serve style where you grab a tray and pick out the pastries you want with tongs. There's a good amount of seating here and it wasn't too busy on Sunday morning. The two baristas/cashiers were both very friendly. I got the sweet potato bread and a blueberry lavender matcha. I really liked the sweet potato bread - the sweet potato filling was so smooth it was creamy, and the bread was soft and lightly sweet. The sesame seed garnish was sparse. As for the blueberry lavender matcha, the matcha itself was not good. The barista warned me that it would be very sweet and was from a powder mix so they couldn't adjust it, but that still didn't adequately prepare me for how sweet it was. Really sweet and very little actual matcha, which I did expect from looking at pictures, but it was even more extreme than I was expecting. However, the blueberry lavender milk was actually really good and LESS sweet than the matcha, which was enough to redeem the drink. I would definitely not recommend a plain matcha latte here, but the limited edition fruity ones might be worth a try if you just want the fruity milk and don't care about the matcha. The extended hours every day of the week are definitely a plus. read more

Paris Baguette - Sweet potato bread, blueberry lavender matcha - Bakeries Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

Expectations exceeded with the turkey cranberry croissant! Grab one to go and asked for it warmed up. It's a wonderful blend of textures and all the ingredients are so fresh and flavorful! The pastries were neatly wrapped and arranged, some individually wrapped. Visually attractive without being over the top, and familiar. Lots of fresh pastries like cream filled croissants and danishes, as well as yummy sandwiches and savoury pastries in the cooler. Came during grand opening day at 8:30am and there was pleasantly no lineup having opened at 6am. The inside was beginning to fill up with people by the time I picked my pastries and checked out. But I appreciated how friendly and polite the staff were by greeting customers and keeping the place orderly. Everyone knew what their role was to help for the first day and customers knew where to go. Definitely adding this on my place to bring people for early morning grab and go breakfast or a snack midday. They open 6am to 11pm which is a rarity for Vancouver. read more

Finally got around to trying Paris Baguette and I'm so glad I did,! Tried the Strawberry Cream Bread, Fruit Danish, Sweet Potato Bread, and Mochi Donut. Loved the consistency of the mochi donuts and the sweet potato bread was super soft! Would come again and having a loyalty program with rewards helps with that for sure read more

Great variety of baked goods and great price. I reccomend downloading their app to collect points and get special coupons and deals. Their cup sizes are larger than the average so a Medium iced americano was really worth the price. I've tried a variety of pastries here and everything here hit the spot and doesn't break the bank. However, it's always crowded so don't expect to find seating easily. They do need to come up with a better pick up system for drinks though instead of randomly shouting out the drink names, can be extemely confusing for customers. Place is crowded since it's a bit of a tourist trap read more

i stopped by this buzz worthy korean-french bakery at 1150 alberni street on saturday at 2:45 pm, eager to check out their soft launch just in time for the christmas holidays. situated in a high end, luxury retail neighbourhood, the bakery has been highly anticipated, so i was pleasantly surprised to find the wait relatively short. every seat inside was occupied, and the atmosphere was lively as customers browsed the self-serve displays of pastries, breads, donuts, and cakes. the setup feels like a blend of a chic café and a boutique bakery. with trays and tongs in hand, you can explore an eye catching assortment of baked goods before heading to the counter to order drinks or whole cakes, and pay for your treats. the displays are thoughtfully arranged, giving the space a polished yet approachable vibe (though self-serve setups always raise some hygiene questions for me). here's what i brought home: strawberry lemon cream croissant ($3.40): small, light, and filled with a zesty lemon custard, but it lacked the buttery crispness and flaky layers of an exceptional croissant. raspberry almond croissant ($6.69): the raspberry filling was generous but overly sweet, and the texture didn't quite have the delicate flakiness i was hoping for. coffee danish ($5.49): the coffee flavour was subtle, but the danish fell short on delivering the crisp, airy texture and rich butter that makes this pastry a favourite. strawberry mochi donut ($4.79): the chewy texture stood out, but the icing leaned a tad bit too sweet for my taste. the cakes on display, however, were show stopping, almost too stunning to eat. they alone might warrant another visit to explore more of the menu. while the pastries didn't wow me, the experience of visiting this vibrant bakery was still enjoyable. if you're in the area and curious about korean-french baked goods, it's worth stopping by to see what all the buzz is about and form your own opinion. read more

This long anticipated of Paris Baguette Bakery Café in downtown finally had its soft opening on Dec 21. It's a 2nd location after Coquitlam. I checked it out after dinner on the next day. This Korean French bakery is all over in Korea. We're lucky to have it in town. It had a pretty good vibe with the blue and white decor from the entrance leading you to the varieties of pastries on the left and the cafe seating area on the right. It was after 9pm so the place was not as busy as the daytime. They open from 6am to 11pm during the holiday season at least. Hours may change later. Their pastries are so appealing to the eyes. You can easily want to get one of each. After some tough decision making, I picked 4: - Almond Pain du Chocolat - Almond Pastry - Pineapple Brulee Pantry - Peppermint Mochi Donut They are tasting great on the first day and even overnight in the fridge. You could microwave it a bit also. The pastry is very buttery. But among the 3 pastries I got, they have different level of buttery taste and different density. I liked the pineapple one the best, then the almond ones and the peppermint mochi donut. Don't get me wrong. The mochi donut had the soft chewy texture I like. The peppermint icing was on point. None of the pastries were too sweet. I could taste the distinct flavour of the pineapple, the chocolate, the peppermint and the butter on every bite. You will notice that they are not greasy at all. They also have sandwiches, savory pastries and packaged salad. Their handcrafted cakes are really amazing for special occasions or just a craving for the sweet tooth. They have raspberry jam and apricot jam in a jar as well as chocolate bars. Pound cakes are also available. Gotta try them next time. They have different drinks such as hot chocolate. It would be nice to enjoy their pastry with a drink at their cafe. Thr pricing is a bit on the higher end, but you gotta appreciate the calories label for each item. The service was also nice. They handled each piece of the pastry with care while packing them for you. read more

Recently tried the paris baguette, its a cute french bakery with a lot of options but unfortunately when i went there was barely anything left. I tried a couple of things but it wasn't anything great especially for the hype created. I may have to go again and try few more desserts again when there arent limited options read more

An amazing selection of bakery treats, mainly sweet, but some savory. The two that we sampled were high-quality and delicious. Prices are very reasonable, especially considering the high-end location. Must return to try more! Big spacious dining area with washroom, with a bit of a fast food ambience. read more

The almond croissant was old and dry. The raisin pastry was also old. These tasted older than day old - everything looked good but really disappointed in flavor and freshness. We purchased almond croissants from another bakery a few days back and ended up eating them two nights after they were purchased. Those were wonderful - these were eaten within 2 hours of purchase and were dismal. read more

If you go in the morning, they might have a better selection of pastries. I went there around 6pm and there were just a few items left. read more

This place gets a four out of five. I love Paris baguette but sometimes they don't have what I'm looking for. But if you go there, you really need to try the chocolate cake with the chocolate macaroon on it. I forget what it's called, but it is literally the best thing I've ever tasted OMG and the people are nice so that's another good thing thanks Paris spaghetti!!!! read more

If you go first thing in the morning, not all the pastries are displayed, so you have to ask, a bit annoying. If you like cream filled pasties, this is the place for you. A bit expensive, but the quality is worth it. read more

This place is garbage! their app doesn't work most of the time. The time I did order for pickup the staff seemed confused even when I showed them on my phone. I had cancelled an order but then they called me to say are you coming in? I've complained multiple times about their rewards. AVOID! read more

Was excited to see this open near my work but quality does not match price - danishes taste like they're made from frozen. Croissants are average and cake tastes of chemicals, not buttercream. Disappointing but there are several other bakeries in the area as good as or better than this. Self-serve process is fast but I watched customers not using tongs and the trays Don't seem sanitary. read more
