Ich liebe Annelores deutsche Bäckerei!…read more I first got goodies from Annelore's booth at the State Farmer's Market in Raleigh. The Apfel (apple) turnover was delicious, as was the Heidelbeerkuchen (blueberry cake) and Zitronenschnitten (lemon bar). I saw a nice gentlemen there that day who I think may be part owner; based on what I see on their website I wonder if it was Herr Norbert. While waiting for another guy behind the counter to bag my goodies, I happened to mention (to who I think was Norbert) that I'm learning German, and he spoke some basic German to me! Which I understood - OMG, must tell my German teacher. A couple weeks later I needed to bring desserts to our monthly Book Club meeting, and Annelore's was my first thought. I decided to visit their actual store in Cary. Even though it's an hour away from home, I stopped by one day when I had to go to Raleigh for an appointment. An Annelore's employee helped me with selecting about six cake slices and 2-3 different bars, plus some German cookies. The inside of the store is very clean, and there are some places to sit if you'd like to eat there. The employees were kind and helpful (and patient, in my case, trying to decide what to buy for a Book Club group I'd never met in person). Annelore's German Bakery is a wonderful way to take care of your dessert needs and support a local business at the same time. If you need a dessert, cake, scones, or other treats for your home gathering, BBQ, church social, potluck, business lunch, or other event, I would definitely let Annelore's take care of that part for you! 10/10, highly recommend! SO good! Vielen Dank, Annelore's... Ich werde Ihr Geschäft bald wieder besuchen!

If you are downtown Cary, you have to check out this quaint German bakery. They do not use…read morepreservatives, so they cannot ship. This is the kind of place you need to experience in-person. Cookies, scones, pretzels, strudel, cakes and other German pastries. They have turnovers in savory and sweet flavors. We tried the mushroom cheese turnover, bacon potato turnover, ham & cheese croissant, apple strudel and apple lemon pie slice. They offer hot tea, but just give you hot water and pick from the self-service selection of teabags. They also offer coffee, but we didn't order any so I'm not sure of the options, like I said previously there is no menu board. Its a bakery, not a coffee house. My husband wanted brotchen (bread rolls) but didn't see any on the back bread wall rack. I told him to just ask if they had any in the back. The lady said she could bake 1 or 2, so he asked for a dozen, and she said it would take 20 mins. We got a dozen of the brotchen and loaf of rye bread to go. Quaint and simple. Most tables sit 2 chairs, but you can pull up a 3rd if needed. They have 2 individual, unisex bathrooms for customers. We were in town to stop by and visit with a friend. We will definitely come back to try more yummy treats.

Paris Baguette is easily one of my favorite little spots when I'm craving something sweet! Their…read morecakes are SO good. I frequently get the Strawberry Cream Cake or the Carrot Cake, and neither ever disappoints. Pair either one with their hot chai tea latte, which is always delicious, and I'm a happy girl! My one and only complaint... PLEASE bring back the pistachio cake! I'm not exaggerating when I say I could have gotten a slice of that cake every single day. I still think about it! What I really love about Paris Baguette is the whole experience. You can walk in, grab a tray, and pick whatever looks good from all the pastries, donuts, tarts, cakes, and other treats, and there's a huge drink selection to go with it. It's dangerous because everything looks good! It's also such a cute, comfortable little spot to sit down and enjoy something by yourself, bring your laptop and knock out some work, or meet up with a friend for coffee and something sweet. Great atmosphere, delicious desserts, and plenty of choices. Definitely one of those places I keep coming back to! And seriously... bring back the pistachio cake.

I can't believe I am only giving y'all 3/5 stars, but the customer service needs some work! I was…read moreso excited to learn we had a Paris Baguette in the area after visiting the VA Beach location about 3 weeks ago. I was headed out to my cousins house not far from there and thought I would scoop up a few things for us to snack on. I knew I wanted the fruit tarts and they are pure perfection in my opinion-I bought 4 in total-I ate one the second I got into the car and the rest were had later in the day. I also wanted to try some of their savory options as when I was there a few weeks ago, they were sold out of the ham and cheese croissant and was really excited to give it a try, and wow it was worth the wait! I also got a pepperoni pizza and some sort of pastry with a hot dog in it. We cut each of the savory options into third so we could sample each item. Everything about the ham and cheese croissant was pure perfection and was the favorite of all three of us! I hate that I didn't take any photos of the building-the outside was nothing special but pastries were beautifully displayed and they had so many options to choose from! The rest room wasn't super tidy, but it was bad either-it was a very busy Sunday afternoon! Now to breakdown the customer service piece that prevented me from giving y'all a perfect score, please do better! I was not greeted when it was my turn, in fact there were two people at registers and after both finished they both walked away without saying anything. So, I stood there and waited and at this point no one was behind me. I don't recall the name of the young man that checked me out. I said hello and asked how do I sign up for their rewards program? I'm not sure he understood my question. I asked again and he told me that I had to sign up for it. There seemed to be a disconnect so I just asked if I could sign up for it later and get credit for the large purchase I was making and all he said was he would give me a receipt. He rang up my pastries and I then asked if he could package the sweet and savory items separately and he seemed annoyed. I also ordered myself an iced chai and he seemed bothered that I wanted a drink. At this point there was a really long line of people and he was not efficient in our encounter at all. I truly believe customers service makes or breaks and experience and sadly, this guy missed the mark after I spent $40+! I'm hoping he was just having an off day.

A friend told us we absolutely had to check this place out, I'm so glad we did. My husband and I visited one evening and ordered a few different items to try. I absolutely love that everything is in a case and you help yourself with your own set of clean tongs. You then take your tray to the register to check out and they will heat up anything you like and box up anything you like. We enjoyed everything we ate and we are looking forward to going back. They have a membership club that you can sign up for for free and you can earn discounts and free stuff. Just for signing up we earned a free pastry.

I couldn't resist checking out a new sweet shop. We were welcomed upon arrival by a friendly employee. The shop is larger than expected and open. At first it seemed sparse, however, it is packed with chocolate creations, treats, toys, and more. The display cases are full of mouth-watering unique creations like truffles, chocolate charcuterie boards, tarts, and decorated chocolates. I was so engrossed by the first display case, I nearly missed the second one. I loved the sprinkle counter in between the display cases. Yes the counter has tons of real rainbow sprinkles in it. Then on the left side of the store is a shelf with very interesting products like a chocolate piano and chocolate vegetables. The vegetables looked incredibly real! Beside it is a dog-geared area with dog toys and treats for sale. It wasn't until I was checking out that I noticed the large white board behind the counter. They make custom cakes of various tasty flavors. After having way too much fun walking around the store, I settled on some chocolate truffles, a strawberry dog toy, and a chocolate covered Oreo. The truffles were incredible, especially the lavender caramel and strawberry lemon thyme. Overall, we had a positive experience here and recommend this shop to others!
