I bought a German apple coffee cake for a family party and bought delicious PB, chocolate walnut, and raisin and oatmeal cookies for my parents and brother. My parents and brother raved about their cookies! One of my biggest food weaknesses is meringue. I didn't think I was going to eat the entire meringue in one sitting back home, but because I haven't eaten a meringue treat in so long, I'm sure that's why I could not stop myself from finishing the meringue with rainbow sprinkles! Their customer service is excellent and their line moves quickly because of this. They have dining tables so you can enjoy your pastries, cakes, and/or hot beverage in their fun and comfortable dining areas. Their cakes are beautiful, so I hope to try their cakes in the future!

The bread was moist, the homemade cream was creamy and delish with little mango chunks . I also decided to try their tiramisu latte. It was so good, creamy chocolateee smooth with a coffee kick, and the homemade whipped cream was so good. The tiramisu latte was so good I had to go back to get a second one as I gave my mom some to try and she loved it, lol. Service was great too, very friendly. The ambiance is fa French bakery with light earthy colors not too bright or dim. There's plenty of seating looking out the window. Parking is in front of the store too.

Vietnamese coffee, in my opinion, should be strong, bold, and sweet, and I was pleasantly surprised…read morethat 85° Bakery delivered exactly that. While we were there, we spoke with another customer who also ordered the Vietnamese coffee. She asked for 125% sugar because she found the "regular" sweetness to be too bitter, but I have to disagree. I ordered mine at the regular sweetness level, and it was already plenty sweet with definitely no extra sugar needed in my opinion. In fact, it might even be borderline too sweet for some people, but since I enjoy sweeter drinks, it worked perfectly for me. One thing to note is that you cannot adjust the ice level for this drink. I did not understand why at first, but it makes sense now because even after the ice melts, the coffee remains strong and the flavor stays rich and sweet. Overall, it is a solid and well balanced coffee. That said, I still really enjoy 85° Bakery's sea salt coffee drinks as well. I'm happy that I've found another coffee option that I enjoy from this bakery.

I drove one hour to this location today. My first time ever actually going inside a store and…read moremaking a purchase. After a long time of hearing positive feedback. Had to finally commit, since there isn't one close to where I live. All the locations are in the East Bay. Thankfully, I made it. I chose two selections. The banana pudding and the chocolate raspberry. I was surprised of the price points. Pretty affordable, more than other bakeries I can think of. The cookies are not little. They smelled wonderful. They taste even better. The customer service was terrific. Friendly and efficient staff members. I enjoyed both flavors and appreciated the high-quality ingredient list is clearly used in the production. I noticed that the cookies are not as sweet as they appear to be. I detected more salt, than sugar in the finish/aftertaste. I look forward to coming back again to sample more flavors. There was a flyer on the front door promoting the upcoming grand opening of the latest new location, in Hayward.

This is now my favorite cookie shop in the bay. I'm a true believer after seeing my brother post…read morethis place on his IG story. I came earlier today and bought 3 cookies: Classic brown butter pecan, banana pudding, and cookies and cream. All three were amazing! They each had a crunch, crispy outer layer with a moist inside. They're buttery and have this pan crust taste to them which stick out from the rest. There were so many other flavors I wanted to try but I didn't want to go overboard lol. Cookies were going for about $3.50-$3.75 each which is regular for a boutique cookie. My ultimate favorites so far is the brown butter pecan and banana pudding. These stick out from every cookie I've had over the years. They're so delicious and tasty that I want a whole box. I really wish they had a Butter Pecan cookie shop where I'm from in the South Bay. The East Bay is lucky to have these cookies! To the owners or whoever is going to franchise this place, please open up in Sunnyvale, Santa Clara, Cupertino, or Mountain View! Trust me, people will go crazy for these. I'm definitely coming back!

I don't know if you can imagine my joy when I saw the Paris Baguette sign off the main road while…read moreheading 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.

The appeal and niche of a Parisian bakery chain I found uber-appealing. It's been announced that…read morethey're going to be opening a store here in my home soil Vallejo, CA. But, not until 2027! I had signed up for the store app. and decided to hit up their store here in Pleasant Hill, CA for a preview. There were some mixed observations for my 1st visit, which explains my 3 star rating (think a grade of C, C+ or possibly eeking out a B-, idk?). Parking's a snap behind the store in a large lot and free for up to 3 hrs. Upon my arrival to the street facing storefront, I encountered 3 of the 4 entrance doors locked from the outside. Gadzooks! How the heck do you get inside this security zone of a store, lol? Finally entered through the 1 unlocked door after naturally trying all the others first . Once inside, it would've been nice to have been greeted/welcomed by a host or floorperson for those of us unfamiliar with the store concept or the procedure of how you serve yourself. As you walk in, there's cafeteria-like trays, tongs and tray liners to your left. You grab this setup to begin your pastry and goodies selection. Pretty much self-serve from there until you queue up to pay. There's also a self-service ordering kiosk inside and you can order ahead on the Paris Baguette app. Speaking of the app, it pays to install it on your device as doing so entitles you to a free pastry with purchase upon your 1st visit. Anywhere from a $3.99-$5.99 value this is, so nothing to sneeze at. And they send you other freebies & deals through this medium also. Pricing for your basic pastries: Think Starbuck's prices + 15-20% or thereabouts. Not sure how the rewards system works here yet or how it might stack up to the aforementioned Starbuck's program or others? The pastries: Oh so good! Definitely no complaints here. If not for them being a bit on the pricier side, as alluded to already. Warm, flaky & fresh out of the oven. Parisian style. Definite niche appeal outside of your random donut shop or Starbucks' offerings. I did not try any of their different beverage options like coffees, teas, lattes or frappes this visit. No doubt this chain will succeed, as is evidenced by their rapid store growth, "newness" of the brand/concept and customer popularity. My pastry choices were the Pain Au Chocolat and the Pain Aux Raisins. One being the free one with the promotion. 10 out of 10. They also do whole bread loaves, cakes and other confectionaries + special orders. Pretty much a full service bakery, Paris style. And if you're sugar and/or calorie cautious, this bakery will no doubt appear like a mine field, lol. Everything in moderation I guess as the saying goes? It's a winner overall. Subtractions for the Fort Knox-like entrance issues and a lack of customer intro-greeting. It looked very popular inside for an early Saturday morning.

When you walk in, it feels like you are at an old fashioned soda fountain shoppe. The smell of cookies and pies attacks you, so be ready for the deliciousness.

I was pleasantly surprised to see they offered a ube-flavored cream puff shell now, as well as an option for ube-flavored cream filling. Of course, I chose that combo. The ube flavor definitely came through--at first, I mostly tasted white chocolate, but toward the end, the subtle ube notes emerged nicely. The cream filling was smooth and enjoyable. However, the cream puff shell itself was a bit stale and dry. We did pick them up around 6 PM, but I still think the store should find a way to keep their products fresh throughout the day. Overall, the cream puff was tasty, but I probably wouldn't buy it later in the day again. We also tried the dulce de leche cream puff, which turned out to be just a regular cream puff topped with a sticky caramel glaze - nothing particularly memorable there. Each piece was about $5 (as of August 2025).
