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 cakes are absolutely gorgeous and I hope to try one sometime! The atmosphere is comfy and beautiful and the service was great!

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'm so happy to see an Asian bakery in downtown Pleasant Hill, especially a Korean bakery. And…read moreyesss, we got Paris Baguette! First off, don't let the name fool you because despite its name it's actually a Korean bakery, not a French bakery. They do have a lot of French inspired pastries though, like croissants. I keep seeing people on TikTok eating those cylinder shaped Croissants filled with creamy custard or chocolate cream, so naturally I had to try one when I saw them at the store. I also knew I had to try the Salted Bread since Japanese style salted bread has been super viral all over Asia lately. We ended up getting both, and honestly they were pretty good. Let me start with the Salted Bread, the inside had that signature hollow interior with a slightly crusty exterior, so it felt pretty legit. The salty crust paired really nicely with the buttery flavor of the bread. It was good, but I don't get the hype around it. I know some people are completely obsessed with salted bread, but to me it's basically just really good bread tasting like salted butter. I like it, but it's just not enough to make me obsessed with it. Then we tried the cylinder shaped croissant that was half dipped in chocolate, and that was pretty good too. Obviously room temperature croissants just don't hit the same as warm freshly baked ones, but for room temperature ones, these were pretty solid. I also really liked the interior of the shop. Everything looked super clean, modern, and chic. All the baked goods were displayed really beautifully too. I'd definitely come back again the next time I'm in the vicinity, and next time I'll try some of their other stuff too.

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.

Can't wait to come back and try more!

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).
