We waited 5 minutes to order, after she gave us the death stare multiple times. We had no idea where to order or what to do since we were not even greeted or welcomed. I could tell she was annoyed with us She seemed very inconvenienced when we had to ask where the cream was since this was our first time. Again, incredibly rude. We noticed people around us got their pastries served on plates/baskets and ours was boxed up. Never once were we asked if we were eating in or doing to go. Would have been an easy one star review but the pastries we had were good. I for one, will not be back anytime soon.

I had to know more about this bakery after hearing everyone in the shop talk about how good the bakery and drinks were, so we headed over and got a Matcha latte chicken teriyaki bun and pumpkin pastry, both savory. They were both delicious, fresh and flavorful. This was a great find and definitely worth an impromptu early lunch. The owner also gave my daughter a complementary salmon rice ball to try and it was so amazing. I already can't wait to come back for the fried chicken sandwich that another customer was ordering after we ordered our food. I might even come back tomorrow! Sorry about the pictures, I ate too fast to remember to take a photo.

I tried the Brown Bear latte with almond milk which was sooo delicious along with the everything bagel croissant with chive cream cheese. My God on today it was absolutely amazing! It was flaky on the outside and soft on the inside just how I like it. The staff was super sweet and gave great recommendations. Literally can't wait to get back and try more of the pastries! The place overall is fairly small but there's a few tables to dine in. There is metered street parking downtown and they get really busy on the weekends and sell out very quickly so I would recommend trying them during the week when it's more calm.

The cashier could not adjust, and the "assistant manager" yelled at me that he wasn't " allowed" to make any adjustments. Their pastries are lovely but never heard of inability to make adjustments to your own posted prices. Won't go back . Happily will support other local bakeries who are just as good and not as pricey. Guess inflation and what the market will bear pushed up their prices but that's a lot for one pastry. Sorry.

They feel indulgent without being heavy, especially when paired with the small cup of dipping sauce, which adds a rich, sweet contrast. The donut-style pastry topped with pretzels is both playful and satisfying--soft and fluffy inside, with a sweet glaze balanced by the salty crunch of pretzel pieces. It's a clever mix of textures and flavors that feels comforting but still a little elevated. If you're looking for a bakery that consistently delivers visually appealing pastries that taste as good as they look, Paris Baguette is a reliable and enjoyable choice.

On the night I visited, they only had the special of blueberry doughnuts and orange donut holes left.

These were also delicious the next morning, so if you want doughnuts for the morning, cross that to-do list off your list and pick these up the night before. I will be back on a future trip to see my family in Northern Kentucky. A new tradition? I hope so!
