Of the two doors, the one on the right will make your entry simpler than entering through the other They specialize in coffee, tea, and pastries. Please look at the pictures. Their beverage menu is extensive. It is above the counter. They do have decafinated beverages, including lattes. Paris Baggett is a visually impressive, informal eatery. Most offerings are light and have mild flavor. The Croissants are just so buttery. They also offer a Coffee Bun, which has a faintly sweet taste and is also very light. There is also a pastry that contains sausage. Their Croissant is 230 calories, a real flavor bargain. The more robust Almond Croissant is 470-480 calories. On the heavy side, NY-style cheesecake or Berry Tarts are 600-620 calories. Sandwiches run 400-700. You can find out more from their nutrition guides. Before you get your delight, you have to stand in line to order. Sometimes that can be a time-consuming and somewhat confusing ordeal. There are no clearly defined cues for the cash registers. If they are out of a particular coffee or tea, or if someone's order is complex, it creates a delay. The seating area has movable chairs and tables. There is no loud background noise in the seating area. It's well-lit. The bathrooms are in the back. They are adequate and clean. Paris Baguette is a South Korean multinational chain of bakery-cafés. This is not the only one in Phoenix. If you download their app, you will see all the locations and join the loyalty program. The speed of service at the point of sale leaves something to be desired. The rest is really delightful. It's pretty, and it tastes good. If you are careful about what you get, it can even be a low-calorie pastry repast.

I have been wanting to check this place out for a while. The last time I tried I could never find…read morea parking spot -but this time I came in the middle of the day during the week and it was easy to get a spot in the small lot. I had never been here before so was happily surprised that it was a serve yourself situation -- I always feel so much pressure to select something when you have to get it from the server behind a case. So when you walk in you grab your tray or to go container and some tongs and then you can meander around a look at the goods before making your selection which you then get yourself. Everything looked so good I was practically drooling! After making my selection of an almond croissant and a coffee cronut I made my way up to the counter. I also ordered a korean iced milk coffee -- no idea what it was but sounded good! I took everything to go and when I got home I jumped right into the croissant -- it was almost as hard a rock! It tasted good but it also tasted a day old, which was very very disappointing! The coffee cronut was good too -- it had many layers and was very rich. The coffee cream on it was average -- just basically didn't taste as good as it looked. Unfortunately I can never get those calories back, LOL. The Korean iced milk coffee was good but honestly couldn't taste a difference from regular coffee. Overall the presentation was top notch but the actual tasting experience was less than average. Don't know how much I would go out of my way to come back -- unless I wanted to try one of their cakes.

The titles of the coffees were a bit confusing, but the barista was able to give me a run-down and flavors and what their most popular ones were. The little home-made Poptarts are delicious, and they'll keep just fine until the next day too. They're crumbly (so beware eating them in the car!), but they're really good and soft. Great real-fruit flavors too. It's darker in there during the day (which I love), making it easier to see a laptop screen. Plus, they keep it nice and air-conditioned. I wish I could come here all the time.

I love how they collaborate with local businesses and bring unique flavors to their pastries. I normally get their weekend specials which change every weekend. My favorite so far has been this past week which was the guava cheesecake cruffin. As someone with Cuban parents who lived in Miami for years, this tasted like home in the best way. I'm sad it's only a one-time deal; otherwise, I'd be there every weekend to get one, and I'd be as big as a house haha. I simply can't say enough good things about this place, my only complaint was that the first time I went they put my cruffin (not in photo) in a paper bag so all the filling ran out on the paper bag so super messy and it was so hard to eat, I would assume they ran out of boxes that day but they should have mentioned that before I got one otherwise I would have eaten it there. Other than that service was great and super friendly The parking lot is small for the shopping center depending on the time of day you go so you just need to circle for a spot.

Over the last year, the service and quality have gone downhill. This location is NOT set up to accommodate a rush / long line. The staff asks what you want at the refrigerator case, not giving you time to look at the entire selection available in the cases after that. The eclairs are delicious. The chocolate croissants are good. The almond croissants don't taste like almond at all. The quiches are so so. We got the apricot special and the fluffy apricot topping tasted off to me so I didn't eat the rest of it. All the other things that we've had there are just mediocre and nothing really special to warrant the high prices. The service people at this location need to take a lesson in hospitality and courtesy. They all exude the attitude that they can't be bothered to answer any questions. And they rush you through the line. Every time we come to JL we eat inside and never want our food to be boxed up. However, the default is to just box everything up. When we tell them that we are actually eating inside and would like things warmed up they roll their eyes at us or give us attitude like they couldn't be bothered. The last six times we have been there they have been out of Babka. This is not sold during the week and only on Saturdays and Sundays. They say that it is a specialty item and they sell other specialty items on Fridays, but for some reason, not the babka. And it's not able to be ordered online. After six times of going and not having it available, and with The attitude of the staff working here, we've decided to not come back to this location. I just find a different pastry shop to go to in Phoenix. It's highly overpriced for what you get. Many of the items are overly sweet and are starting to taste mass produced. Also The cloth chair cushions in the corner are absolutely filthy and that whole surrounding area is full of crumbs. I almost took a picture of it when we were in there, but did not. The little tables provided for that area were both wobbly.

My coffee passport brought me to this very unique cafe on the way to my 2nd appointment and I couldn't be happier about my experience, and I was able to release my stress after this short visit. Granted parking was limited (because I didn't know that I could park at those gas pumps lolll), I got a warm, spacious welcome as soon as I walked into the cafe. The vibe is cozy. I felt like I'm in a little town's gathering spot. I could also sense so many creative minds joining force to make this space colorful. I love the paintings, the stickers, the decoration, and the overall flow of the cafe. The old school cash register was too cute!! Free WiFi is a plus!! I ordered a Cubano coffee because it was their signature drink. It hit the spot!! With this being my first time, I got a punch card (yay!!) and they generously offered a homemade pastry to go with my drink. My jaw dropped. This is the richest and tastier brownie I've tasted in a while. The saltiness offset the chocolate richness perfectly! Also, imagine every single bite is an edge piece!! Mind-blown!!! I wish I lived closer because this place would so be in my coffee run rotation. Until next time!

I got a blended chai, asiago bagel with cream cheese, and cinnamon roll. I like super sweet drinks and read that the chai can be spicy so I asked for it to be sweetened; I might try it without next time because it was plenty sweet and the best chai I've had in Phoenix. Also the best bagel I've had here - fresh, super cheesy, perfect balance between soft and cheesy. The cinnamon roll was because they didn't have cupcakes but it worked out. It was soft and smothered in incredible cream cheese frosting. I live within a block of 4 coffee shops downtown and will happily drive here from now on for my weekend treat. Plus, from their Instagram, I support their values and advocacy. A new favorite!

I forgot to ask for half sweet, but no need for the special order because the flavor was well balanced and not overly sweet! Well crafted flavors, I'd totally get it again. Working here was awesome too. Music was not too loud or distracting. Everyone here spoke at a respectful volume. I'm coming back next time!

Fantastic Atmosphere and Workspace in Midtown, but Mind the Peak Hours…read more My friend and I visited this cafe on a mid-week afternoon looking for a productive spot to get some remote work done, and it proved to be an excellent choice. Logistically, midtown traffic in this area is a well-known hurdle, but the dedicated parking lot located directly behind the building makes arriving by car much easier. Inside, the design and atmosphere are an absolute vibe. The mismatched furniture, abundance of indoor plants, and view of the green canopy outside provide a perfect, refreshing escape from the summer heat. The menu is varied and high-quality. I ordered a matcha latte, which was excellent and refreshing, while my friend opted for a lunch sandwich and a latte. For true coffee enthusiasts, they also sell specialty house-roasted coffee beans retail, including a Guatemalan Antigua and another select house blend. The lounge offers plenty of comfortable seating tailored for focus and productivity. While the pricing is slightly higher than your average coffee shop, the exceptional atmosphere and amenities justify the cost. One quick tip for remote workers: The environment shifts noticeably after 4:00 PM. The space can become quite loud with patrons taking phone calls or conducting 1-on-1 meetings at adjacent tables. If you plan to work through the late afternoon, I highly recommend bringing a pair of noise-canceling headphones to remain undisturbed.

Welcome to Bang Bang Coffee in Downtown Phoenix! Besides the name and logo, the menu is full of nods to the series, with drinks named Laura Palmer, Laura's Latte, the Red Room, Log Lady, etc. IYKYK. And naturally, the drip coffee is described as "damn fine coffee," in honor of Agent Cooper. The local family who owns the shop lives close enough to ride their bicycles there, and their goal was to preserve the neighborhood atmosphere where baristas know their regulars and people gather to chat over coffee. Having experienced the super-friendly staff firsthand, I'd say they're doing a damn fine job. Note: it's a walk-up coffee window with shaded outdoor seating, rather than a traditional indoor cafe. Plan accordingly, as we live in a city where being outside is not always pleasant. Thankfully the more pleasant weather is right around the corner! (And for the record, you don't have to be a Twin Peaks fan to enjoy this place. It's perfectly charming and likable in its own right!)

My friend and I were getting attacked by flies lol. We ordered a cheddar jalapeño bagel, peach mango tea, and the brown sugar cinnamon latte. Everything was pretty good!! The bagel was full of flavor, soft, and chewy--all good things in a bagel. The tea was pretty simple but refreshing and the coffee was strong and creamy! The bagels did sell out really fast though as my friend and I got there around 9:30 AM and they only had one flavor left. Overall, I would definitely go back since they have so many coffee flavors but I do wish they had extended hours as they close pretty early.

Here's a secret: almost no one pays the metered parking so you'll be relatively safe parking in one of those spots. They focus on burgers and even have a breakfast menu. Unfortunately, some of their items weren't in stock when I was there. I bought two different burgers and I must say they came out hot and pretty good. Service was fairly amiable as well.
