Went back into Paris after a long hiatus to see if they got any better. I brought a friend with me to get her opinion as well. Apparently, they got rid of their nice blend of Illy coffee and are using some local roaster that tastes terrible. Don't take it from me, take it from my friend who could not even finish her coffee. The service was fine, however, but the coffee tasted like the earthiness of dirt. read more

I have no idea why this only has 3 stars.... it is the same food as the one in Monterey.... the workers are awesome and have a great attitude, it is clean.... I love this little gem. Today was a ham quiche! Flavors were amazing. I am not typically a crust guy, but theirs is good. the "egg/crust" ratio was perfect The "egg/ham" ratio was perfect. I loved every bite of this quiche! read more

Paris Bakery Cafe - Ham Quiche - Bakeries Near Me - Seaside, California

The Seaside location only gets 3 stars??? But the same business Monterey location gets 4 stars. Chalk up the difference to location location location. Let's just call the Seaside one a "locals only" place. Right, this place was built up by French expats (before retiring/selling in 2023ish). Nothing's changed. It's still fantastic. read more

food service ambiance are all first rate - sometimes there are 'day old' goods they offer some items that other bakeries do not read more

The sourdough bread tasted very commercial and lacked that authentic homemade flavor. I bake my own sourdough, and I understand what real sourdough should look and taste like, and this just didn't have it. The fruit tart is delicious!!!!! read more

Amazing croissants and good coffee. The one in Seaside is a lot quicker/less crowded than the downtown Monterey location. They have a bit less selection though too. read more

Dang! Ham and Cheese croissants. Service was spot on. It's a small place with delicious desserts. read more

We got iced lattes and a ham quiche. Everything was delicious. Paris bakery deserves more love. read more

Paris Bakery Cafe - Bakeries Near Me - Seaside, California

Super friendly service and delicious pastries and bread. We had a ham and cheese croissant, tiramisu, apple croissant, veggie quiche, and took some pastries and a loaf to bread to go. Not super busy from 8:30 to 9:30 on a Tuesday, so a really lovely spot to hang out and enjoy a leisurely breakfast. Limited parking in front but wasn't an issue for us. The real bread ornaments on the decorated Christmas tree were such a cute touch for the decor! We usually go to the Monterey location but will definitely be spending more time here! read more

I've been coming here for years. Quality and customer service has declined since the change in ownership. Today I ordered a turkey sandwich and bag of chips. The total was $15. The sandwich didn't have mustard or hard boiled egg as it had in the past. The customer service was lackluster. I'm not sure it's worth the price anymore. read more

The most important thing is getting there early- everything is made fresh so quantity is low if you arrive after 10:00am. On a Friday morning- but the quality is amazing homemade. We had Chocolate Crescent warmed up, talk about decadence over the top gooey quality chocolate and flaky pastry. We also got Peanut Butter Bookies & Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies- a Big thank you to Emma who was so friendly and heated up our chocolate crescents which made them ooey&gooey very yummy read more

We have been customers at the Seaside location of Paris Bakery for many years. The service is generally great, as are the breads, pastries, cakes, and quiche. However, here's a WARNING: If you order a birthday cake, do NOT assume that it will be available when you go to pick it up. For example, I preordered a chocolate ganache birthday cake this past Thursday for pickup at 10 AM today, which is the following Saturday. Included in the order were two loaves of bread and three quiche. When we arrived to pick up the order, they had the three quiche and one loaf of bread set aside for me in a bakery box with my name on it. No birthday cake for today's birthday celebration, and only one loaf of bread (with no options in stock). Additionally, no cakes of any size in their display case -- just an assortment of pies and two large fruit tarts. Further, no one contacted me this morning to say that they could not fill the order. I would advise customers who preorder a cake for a special occasion to call Paris Bakery and confirm the order at least one day before going there to pick it up. And request immediate notification if, and when, they realize that it's unavailable. Otherwise, you could wind up as disappointed as we are, driving around the Peninsula, looking for an alternative. read more

Cest vraiment dommage! It's too bad. We were hoping to have a croissant and pain au chocolat with the same DNA as ones from France and instead, they weren't better than what you would find at Safeway or any local national branded grocery store. The service was friendly but the quality was not there. read more

Petit Pain tuna sandwich was very good. Nice size, but very expensive for a sandwich ($9.99). Service was pleasant and ambiance was unusually quiet for lunchtime on a Friday. I'm a local so overall - new owners, high prices, different pastry and cookie selections and can't afford to go here everyday! read more

The best pastries! Rosie is also the sweetest and so accommodating. She is so great! Pastries are also great but the service is even better! Highly recommend read more

Lovely pastries in true French tradition. Friendly staff, prompt service. Great alternative to the busier Monterey store. Love the baguettes in the baskets. read more

This has got to be one of my favorite bakeries on the peninsula. Baked goods are always fresh. Staff is always friendly. Place is always kept very clean.. And the food is delicious. I love the small individual sized quiches, especially the rosemary one. The cookies are delicious. And those sweet rolls are incredible. A great place read more

Such a bummer! I went in to get a baguette and it was rock hard. I asked when it was baked and they wouldn't give me a straight answer. I asked if I could have a different one and the manager was called over- in response to my question, they replied "that's just how fresh bread is- hard on the outside and soft on the inside". That was definitely not true. The inside was stale and dry and the outside was so hard it wouldn't give when squeezed lightly. There is a lack of walkable, affordable bakeries in this area and to have this experience was truly disappointing because the bread was bad and the customer service was bad. Go elsewhere!! read more

I stopped by bakery today to get a Mona Lisa flourless mini cake. I was informed it was discontinued. What a disappointment. Everything else has bread and was not able to purchase anything else to go with coffee or tea. I thought the new ownership would not be changing the items sold, as they stated on their online newsletter. What a disappointment. read more

If I could give zero stars, I would. This morning topped every bad encounter I've ever had with customer service. One of the ladies behind the counter was very unpleasant. After patiently waiting my turn to order, she approaches me with her head leaning to one side and asks, "Do you need something?" in a demeaning tone. Not, "Can/May I help you?" as a hospitable (or even average) person working in customer service would. As a local, I periodically pick up morning pastries for the office from this location. I will not be coming back after today. Please train your staff to treat customers better. Don't be hostile. We have enough hate and war going on in the world. The last place I expect to be treated with hostility is the local French bakery. read more

I used to not like coming here, bad service and parking was annoying if there wasn't a spot open. Last year or so it has been excellent, all the workers are kind, the food is excellent. I really like coming here. So much easier than the Monterey location, which is annoying to go to. Drive up broadway and leave through fort ord. Pretty convenient. Buy a quiche and put in an air fryer Great place! read more

As a former baker I tend to stop at every bake shop I can. I'm alway thrilled to find a bakery that has the classics. I picked up a Napoleon and some baguette. Both were excellent and the prices were good. Both ladies working were friendly and happy to chat. I'll be back often. read more

I want to take this place home with me. I came everyday of my 3 day stay in town. The strawberry almond pastry was delicious.

Delicious classic and specialized pastries ready to go! I got to try the Raspberry Croissant and the Custard pastry. Both were absolutely wonderful. The Raspberry Croissant was filled perfectly with raspberry filling - not too much and not too little like chocolate croissants are. As for the Custard pastry, this was perfectly sweet and the custard was creamy. The sugar crystals on top add an extra crunch to the mix. I would recommend coming here earlier in the morning so you have more selection. Parking is conveniently located out on the street and there are some parking spots available along the curb. read more

I gave this bakery another chance after buying a Black Forest cake that had mold growing on it. I took it back and they gave me a gift certificate. On Monday, I ordered another cake to pick up for Administrative Professional Day and it literally took 10 minutes to get my cake order. Additionally, I was the only person wearing a mask, because I've a cold, and I can't help wondering if that's why I got poor service, and every time I go in to buy a cake it's a different price. This time it was $55, last time $29 and the time before that $39, and they all looked the same size. I think it's time to find another bakery. read more

Wow just left this place and I'm terribly frustrated. I literally did not get counter service and am thinking it was because I was wearing a mask. Either way I stood In line for 10 minutes and didn't even get to order. Thanks for nothing Paris bakery read more

This Paris bakery location is somewhat grimy and dirty. They had knats and flies inside the bakery cases and the girl didn't seem phased by this problem whatsoever. The cakes I purchased weren't good and honestly some of the most disgusting desserts I have had here in the states. Customer service is subpar and not that great. I do know I won't be returning. read more

Good food!, nice staff And reasonable prices highly recommend! They have classical authentic French creations!

we've been here a few times now.. We were drawn by their almond Croissants that the coffee bank sells.. Its high end cakes and well worth a trip.. My wife finds excuses for us to drive near it and then 'oh are we near Paris' !... Staff are friendly and helpful and cakes always fresh and interesting ! read more

What a great place for coffee, bread, clam chowder and sweats. Never too large of a line, like other places. The staff is friendly, prices are great and the venue is awesome. read more

I came in today and I'm from out of state. I was helped by a lady named Rena and she was very disrespectful and even told my children to move out of her way when they weren't even close to her or blocking anything. She completely stopped helping me and ignored me when I asked her what her problem was. She can't even speak English and shouldn't be talking to people like that. I don't recommend going here and if you do don't get helped by Rena. She should be retrained on how to deal with customer service because hers is absolute trash. read more

Service was wonderful. They had pastries and a selection of breads. It's a smaller bakery compared to the Monterey Paris Bakery but the food has the same high quality. I will go there again! read more

Today I tried Paris Bakery for the first time and I loved loved loved the service! Mateo and jasmine were super sweet and got me out of there in no time. I appreciate how fast and sweet they were! Look forward to coming back soon! read more

Couple days ago I came into this bakery for the first time! I'm not from the area but a local friend recommended it , the croissants were really the best I've had so far, fresh and baked to perfection and the lady at the counter was great, polite, and went out of her way to make me a iced coffee when they normally don't sell it! Great service im probably spelling the name wrong but jasmine thank you! I will definitely be going back! read more

Employees were coughing and not wearing masks. When I kindly asked them to put one on they said "I don't have to". I told them my health reason for concern and they informed me it's no longer a mandate. Great, legally you don't have to. But morally, it would be nice if you cared for the employees, customers and the community. read more

My wife bought two cakes from this bakery to celebrate my bday and both cakes were absolute garbage. They were both stale, dry, and the taste was unforgivable. I 100% suspect that these cakes had been sitting out for days to be as stale as they are. Thankfully, my wife, who can make a cake better than the "professionals" at Paris, made an additional cake that was delicious and actually edible. The cakes from Paris bakery went into the bin. If you like a stale, dry cake, Paris bakery is where you need to shop. read more

My wife and I stopped by at Paris bakery in seaside looking for a nice treat for our dessert. Well what we got was not a treat or delicious. We paid close to $10 for two slices of cake that was dry and closer to cardboard taste than cake. Don't waste your time or money at Paris bakery. Go to Costco and get a great tasting whole cake for $14. read more

This locals bakery is in a more off the beaten path than its sister location in downtown Monterey. I had another amazing quiche, and a bite of my wife's out of this world almond croissant. The inventory is a bit more sparsely displayed than the main location but it was also less hustle and bustle and low key. The coffee is always decent and made well at each location. Depending on the side of town, this is an easy way to get your over the top French pastries in a less traveled location. Oh, so, I wish we had one in Reno! Thank you for existing Paris Bakery Cafe, you make my visits to Monterey complete. read more

The woman behind the counter was nice and the pastries were fantastic. The Apple streudel, cherry croissant, and lemon tart were all phenomenal. The ham and cheese quiche was also the best I have ever had! Great bakery and well priced. read more

VERY small establishment in an old building. The inside is okay. There were no other customers besides myself. I bought three pastries to go. They were just okay & not inexpensive. The selection was limited. The employee was average. I probably won't return. read more
