And…read morepeople are friendly in this town :-) We got window seats, looking out on Frederick over their small front-patio seating area. We watched their newest baked goods constantly bring re-filled at the counter. We had a rich fluffy cappuccino, which we doctored with sugar and cinnamon from their counter. And a simple unsweetened double-shot espresso, direct, intense, balanced, and nicely brewed. The mentioned that all their espresso beverages are double-shots, unless you ask for a different amount. We got an almost-royal version of almond croissant, their Frangipane: a flaky and flavorful croissant iced and filled with a velvety almond cream of butter, sugar, vanilla, and eggs. The icing puffs up almost cake-like. It's a beloved French pastry recipe. We also had a new version of one our favorites, their breakfast croussant sandwich. We got the smaller "Bunnsant", which comes stuffed with perfectly fluffy scrambled eggs, crispy medium-thin bacon, fresh tomato slices, and a think layer of ripe avocado. Richly delicious, and enough to fill you up, but not so much that you have to take half of it home :-) Past other tables, we discovered a couple of cozy stuffed chairs by a fireplace towards the back of the cafe, with walls full of books. And further down the hall, bright delightful artwork lines the walls. This place was bustling on and off on a Saturday mid-morning, with many people gettting take-out. We were able to find street parking nearby. It was a nice relaxed destination for a lovely breakfast.

The pick-your-own system of getting a tray and tongs to select your items helps save time but makes it hard to not get one of everything. Like I said, a dangerous place ... and so worth it.

I really enjoyed my visit to Paris Baguette. The atmosphere was pleasant and inviting, and the…read morestaff was helpful and accommodating. My daughter asked if they could warm up her croquette, and they were happy to do it--and warmed it perfectly. The pastry displays were well stocked with a great selection, and everything looked delicious. The pastries we tried tasted just as good as they looked. My only small critique is that a few of the pastries didn't seem to have as much filling throughout as I've experienced at some other pastry shops. Still, that didn't take away from the overall experience. Between the variety of pastries, welcoming atmosphere, and helpful service, we had a great visit and will definitely be back to try more.

I received a text message with an offer for 15% off my entire order from Paris Baguette and the…read moreoffer never stated that it was for online only! After arriving at the store I selected my items then went to pay for them, I told one of the girls at the register that I had a 15% offer which was sent to me in a text message and she didn't know what to do, so she asked the other girl who was working with her for help, this other girl also didn't know what to do and she had an attitude, she asked me to show her the offer on my phone and told me that the offer was for online only and that first I was to order it online, then pick it up afterwards, this made no sense at all, I was already there ready to pay!! Why would you make me step out of line, order it online and then comeback to pay? Offers sent by text need to explain that the offers are for online only and the employees at PB need to be retrained in what good customer service means. I never paid for my order, I wasn't about to pay full price when I had an offer for 15% off!!! I left everything on the counter and walked out! You lost a sale as well as losing a customer!!!

Very flavorful and satisfying. Would come here every day for lunch if I live in Sykesville.

I wanted a smoothie, found this location on Google, and decided to give it a try after hearing friends rave about the chain. Unfortunately, I regret stopping here. I ordered online and when I walked in, I initially didn't see any employees. Then I noticed a woman dressed entirely in what appeared to be street clothes: pink beanie, shirt, sweatpants, and Crocs. At first, I honestly thought she was a friend or family member helping out in the store because there was no uniform or name tag. Then I realized she was actually making my drink. Not once did she greet me, acknowledge me, ask if I needed help, or even make eye contact. I stood in the pickup area waiting while she slammed blender containers around and appeared visibly irritated. She poured my smoothie, put the lid on, slapped the sticker on the cup, and dropped it on the counter without saying a single word. I reached for the drink and said, "Thank you," and received absolutely no response, just a look. The customer service was terrible, and unfortunately, the smoothie itself was not good either. First impressions matter, especially early in the morning when customers are tired and simply hoping for a pleasant experience. Please train employees on basic customer service skills. A simple greeting, acknowledgment, or "have a nice day" goes a long way. And if employees are unhappy or not prepared to work professionally, they should not be interacting with customers.

I went with the Cold Brew Brownie ice cream in a waffle cone, and it was absolutely delicious! I'll definitely be back to work my way through more of their flavors.

They have all sorts of cones and cup options and the service has always been kind every time I've gone. They also let you get tasters before you make the all important decision of picking your flavor. They run promotions pretty much all the time, so I'd recommend subscribing to their social media so you're in the loop for these. They're legit deals - free cones, BOGO, etc for customer appreciation. Just bear in mind, it's off the highway and they're located in a small building with 2 benches, so there's not too much seating there if you were trying to eat there. I would totally recommend if you're in mood for a sweet treat!
