    prosciutto and mozzarella sandwich + alfajores
    Breanna C.

    Today I visited Passion Pastry and was warmly welcomed by Parviz! Recently they introduced sandwiches to their menu, I decided to give the prosciutto and mozzarella sandwich a try and wow! The fresh ingredients, especially the mozzarella, really impressed me. Whenever I come here though I always have to pickup some alfajores. Definitely cannot go wrong with those. I recommend coming here! It's a hidden gem. It's a cute cafe, provides a homey feel, has a friendly stuff, and to reiterate definitely get there alfajores!

    We were playing at the park across the street and were pleasantly surprised that there was an "open" sign on Black Friday! Come out and get your treats while you're out shopping. My kids loved their lemon macaron, pumpkin bread, and feta spinach croissant, along with complimentary cookies. Beautiful gift boxes with pastries and I can't wait to come back and try their drinks!

    Most delicious alfajores and Mexican wedding cookies. They are very moist. Been coming for years

    Marshmellos

    Lattes and pastries are SO yummy! My kids love the marshmallows. And they sometimes have desserts from different countries so it's always a nice time stopping in.

    Pastries treats featured in the bakery case

    Quietly tucked away on the side of a strip mall anchored by a Grocery Outlet supermarket, Passion Pastry is a hidden local gem where we were lured in only by the sighting of a small chalkboard placed at the corner of the intersection leading into the shopping center. Come to find later another customer walked in also commenting that they were unaware of the bakery until they saw the same chalkboard. This bakery is run by a mom and her son. The mom is the talented baker while her well-mannered son greets customers and provides pleasant customer service. We had a chance to converse a bit while waiting for our order of the special Ham and Cheese Croissant to be warmed up. Passion Pastry originally started out as a home kitchen business in Dublin and appearing in local farmers' markets. Apparently they outgrew their home kitchen due to their popularity and found this Pleasanton spot to expand their business. We learned also that their claim to fame at these farmers' markets were home baked cookies that now they display in packed baggies along the side of the shop's wall. In the small shop, there is a small bakery case of their bakery goods and pastries. Check out the photos. We ordered their chocolate croissant as well as their beef empanada. All were delicious, perhaps on the sweeter side. What a great find on an easy Sunday morning!

    OMG! I was lucky enough to discover Passion Pastry when they have set up their pop-up at Nordstrom in Walnut Creek in the past. I lucked out right before this Thanksgiving when I happened to walk by the 2nd floor escalators and found the display. I loaded up on two large gift boxes (original Alfajores and one mix sampler), a container of the Mexican Wedding cookies, a loaf of banana pecan loaf and the coconut blonde brownie. I took them to Hawaii this past Thanksgiving and presented the gift boxes and Mexican Wedding Cookies to my sister. She is an avid baker and she was thrilled with the treats. (She is recovering from surgery and was staying clear of solid food, but 'Get Well' Mexican Wedding cookies are the exception, right ? ) My favorite is the Alfajores which just literally melt in your mouth. How do you guys make them so buttery??? I kept the loaf and the brownie for myself and froze them since I would be gone for 10 days. I just toasted a couple of slices of the loaf, and despite my freezing of the loaf, they were delicious and moist. Super flavorful, and I am so happy that they kept so well. I didn't get pics of the boxed items, but I did take a couple of pics of the items I kept. My photos do not do these treats justice, but believe me, they are AMAZING. I will be ordering before I head back to Hawaii in a few weeks (it's the only thing my sister wants for Christmas!). It's a family-run business and the mom and her kids help out. This is one of those local small businesses that you need to support! Brava!

We got the buttercream bread, sweet rice donut, chocolate cloud cake, milk cornet, and the strawberry milk bread. For drinks we got the red velvet hot cocoa and the caramel macchiato. The buttercream bread was my absolute favorite out of the bunch. The butter cream wasn't too sweet and the bread was sooo soft. The ratio of cream to bread was just right, so each bite of bread had a sweet balance of the fluffy cream. The sweet rice donut was okay. To be, it could have been more softer, but it was expected for it to go stale a little bit since it's been out lying for a while. Some things are just unavoidable. The chocolate cloud cake was really good, but there was so much cream. Unlike the buttercream bread, there was imbalance here, but I adored the giant strawberries sandwiched between the cream. The consistency of the actual cake was perfect though, because sometimes I know it can get really soggy from the cream. Next time I would give another cake a try instead. The milk cornet was great! Tried it out because it seemed really popular; there was only one left. This pastry like a croissant stuffed with milky cream. The cornet was perfectly crunchy and the milk cream wasn't too sweet. Next time, I want to give the blueberry version a try. The strawberry milk bread impressed me. It was super soft, and I like how there was a really small amount of cream. Like, I understood what the cream was trying to do there. One bite of just bread would be pretty dry, but a little bit of cream can help smooth things out but still keep the spotlight on the bread. The red velvet hot cocoa drink was what surprised me the most. I suppose this drink is Valentines day edition, so it's not always here. I was so surprised when I opened the lid and saw hot pink foam! Like, DANG! Tous les jours really went out of their way to give us a sip of Valentines day! This drink is on the sweeter end, though. A friend said that the caramel macchiato was just okay, nothing surprising or impressive about it. I guess it was a safe order. The baristas were really efficient with our drinks; both drinks took five minutes or less! I love the interior of this bakery. So cute yet so easygoing. Perfect ambiance for catching up with some girlfriends!

Everything looked incredible in the pastry case and you can tell the pastries are made with care #1 in SF area for their croissants, which are buttery, flaky, and perfectly baked. You can watch the bakers through the window outside. What we tried: Honey Bear Latte ($6.25) - lightly sweet and comforting Almond Croissant ($7) - flaky with a generous almond filling Egg & Turkey Breakfast Bun ($6) - simple, savory, and satisfying Chouquette ($2) - light, airy, and the perfect little bite Kouign-Amann ($6.75) - crispy, caramelized, and buttery goodness Quiche Lorraine ($11.50) - rich and flavorful Chakchouka Croissant ($8) - a fun savory twist with bold flavors The space feels cozy and welcoming, making it a great spot for brunch or a coffee break. Seating is first come, first serve, so it can fill up quickly on weekends. Staff members were so accommodating helping me with the adjustment of the sweetness of my latte. Tina's Tip: Ask for your pastries warmed up and order them "for here" - it makes a huge difference! Follow me @tinathaotravels for more Bay Area eats, lifestyle, travel, and adventures.

After placing my order at the kiosk for a medium iced Tiger Boba Latte/milk beverage, I waited 15-20 minutes before getting my drink. I'm still glad it only costs me $4.90 for the cup and they haven't raised prices on beverages. It's the only beverage I purchased here for years. Decent and good tasting, more milky flavor, and not overly sweet. $4.90 is much better than $7 elsewhere. I wish they had more tables and chairs inside.

When that happens, I have to give them kudos because at some places, the changes are so subtle they're almost meaningless. The drinks were OK, and they did the job on a a cold and rainy morning. As for the pastries, they were just OK. I've had better at other bakeries (and other branches of this same company), and with the plethora of options around for baked goods, you can find better. With that being said, it may just have been the couple of choices we had for food. The ube filled baked good was not very good, but I say that as an ube fiend. I have ube a lot, including back in the motherland. It was more like taro than ube, when it came to taste. As for the quantity, there wasn't a lot of it either. The actually bread part was soft and nice, and it was pretty. The egg tarts weren't the best. They left something to be desired. I would suggest getting something else. Maybe we made the wrong choices this time at 85, because I've definitely had better baked goods at their other locations.

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.
