This was our first time at a Paris Baguette, and given that it's a 40-minute drive from home, this…read morewas a well-planned and anticipated visit. The location is easy to get to, with lots of parking behind in a lot, and it's very clean, with lots of chairs and tables; yet all were filled this Saturday evening, which is a good sign. There are too many pastries, treats, and drinks to even cover, and we spent a few minutes trying to find our choices, which you mainly pick from cabinets using a self-serve tray and tongs. For drinks and cake (whole or sliced), you order those at the counter. We decided on some pastries, some cake slices, and a drink. And S'mores was the predominant theme today. We ordered a raspberry fruit bite, 2 chocolate supreme croissants, 2 S'mores Belgian waffles, a sugar mochi donut, a coffee donut croissant, 2 slices of S'mores chocolate marshmallow cake, and a slice of rainbow cake. We also got the cream cheese puff and the crème brûlée bombolone ... quite the name! And, of course, a S'mores frappe! The server helping us at the register was polite and efficient, but there was only one register open and a long line. As such, other folks were helping gather the goodies from the cake case, and as we were taking these to go, we did not realize until we were home that the rainbow cake was not a rainbow cake, but a THIRD slice of S'mores cake. Ugh. That one was chosen by the 8-year-old, who was understandably not happy, and the additional insult of paying extra (above the cost of the S'mores) for a cake we didn't get made ME unhappy too! Paid $8.29, got a $6.99 cake slice. The pastries are generally good, with some very good and some more of a "meh." Among the best were the raspberry fruit bite and the coffee donut croissant. That coffee one was a surprise, as it had a soft liquid filling we didn't realize when buying, and the taste was very coffee, which I loved. Will get that again for sure. The S'mores chocolate supreme croissant was also popular. The crème brûlée bombolone was different, with a light pastry and a filling different from what I usually find in crème puffs, and it was tasty. The waffles were not a light and airy as we would have liked, but the flavor was good. The mochi donut was a bit dry as well, not up to true Japanese bakery standards, and the cream cheese puff was all puff and short on the cream cheese (see photos). And the S'more cake was good for flavor, very rich and S'morey, but the presentation really is lacking. Not that I normally compare one chain to another, but for example, when we get Crumbl, the product is very close to the advertising. Not so with the S'more cake, and I am not even sure all the layers were there and in the proper order or proportion; check out the photos and see what I mean. However, the flavor was spot on, and that is the ultimate goal, although the "eyes eat first," as we Yelpers know! And the highlight was not a pastry or cake, but the S'more frappe. It was layered beautifully, fresh-tasting, and very S'morey (yes, a new word I now love!). We even got a second, as we had to eat this there so it could be shared by the group, and it was calling us! Definitely hope it is available next visit, and Starbucks could take a lesson in quality versus price point. Some of the pastries here are really not worth the cost for the product (would skip the cream cheese puff, for example, and the mochi donut), but everything else was very good. Other than an error in fulfilling the order correctly and a couple a poor pastries (quality), it was a good first visit, and we all would come back when near a location.

I did enjoy this shop, my only quarrel was only my personal taste. I prefer goods that are a bit more heavy on flavor- not that this was not flavorful, it was just a bit more light and airy.

I came across this pop-up at Epidemic Ales, though you can easily place an order with them on-line for any occasion. My pecan tart was fresh with a flaky shell. For me, the shell of a small tart makes up half of the tart, so it was a plus that it was super duper fresh. The filling was made up equally of fresh nuts but did have a rather prominent taste of alcohol. Some pecan pies contain a bit of alcohol like rum or bourbon. I went on their homepage, and it looks like they also make a Maple Bourbon Pecan Pie. I'm assuming that the tart I got may have been a mini version of that. If you're averse to alcohol in your food, keep this in mind, at least when it comes to their pecan tartlets. Guilty Pleasures makes cupcakes, cakes, pies, cookies and other nicely presented baked goods as well. I spied pre-packaged mixes of mini treats that can be purchased as a nice hostess gift that contained macarons, meringues, and what looked like small pumpkin tarts. I definitely enjoy my sweet treats, but with Guilty Pleasures, it's nice to know that with the smaller bites of desserts I can have them all, minus the guilt...sort of.

There's always plenty of parking, and the restaurant can be easy to miss since it's tucked in the corner next to UPS. I've been coming here for years, and this is easily my favorite poke spot in the area. The prices are reasonable, the portions are generous, and the staff is always friendly and happy to help. It's pretty straightforward: you choose your ingredients and customize your box however you like. My go-to is a small box (two scoops) with salmon and spicy tuna, cucumber, jalapeño, edamame, green onions, mango, ginger and two crab meat scoops. I usually mix spicy mayo, poke sauce, and ponzu for the sauce, and it's always delicious! I've also tried their matcha drinks, and the mango matcha is definitely my favorite. The strawberry one has a good flavor, but I find it a little more bland compared to the mango. Overall, 5/5! I definitely recommend Fresh Box if you're looking for a fresh, filling, and customizable poke bowl.

I absolutely give 5 stars and beyond for these divine cake pops! Kristine is the ultimate professional and she makes it so easy to place an order. Fast, easy, friendly and reliable services you can count on! Every time I have placed an order she nails her designs and flavors to the T! She can create anything from Lego Ninjago Ninjas to Bride and Groom cake pops. I have ordered her cake pops for almost every special occasion including Valentine's Day, Easter, Christmas, Birthdays and even my own wedding in Hawaii!!! I have had my fair share of tasting cake pops from different bakeries but Scrumpoptious takes the cake!!!! She uses the best chocolate, not the kind you find at your local craft store. She also uses her own cake recipes. My all time favorites are mixed berry, red velvet and guava. Absolute exquisite, mouthwatering, savory, delectable, great, delicious, delightful, enjoyable tasty cake pops! It's a must you have to taste these cake pops, if you haven't you are soooo missing out!!!! I highly recommend Scrumpoptious to EVERYONE! read more

Hands down the BEST cake pops I've ever had! The quality of these pops is unbelievable. You'll never buy a cake pop from Starbucks again! She makes them from scratch with all natural ingredients...no box cake mix here! And the mixed berry (my fav!) is made with real berries...yes, REAL BERRIES! I ordered the EARL GREY and the MIXED BERRY for my sister's bridal shower which was tea party themed. Adorable! The mixed berry were a beautiful deep dark purple when you bit into them, decorated with a flower design. The earl grey were shaped like tea cups! These cake pops are now my "go to" for every event.
