Paris Baguette

I really want to give this place 4 stars, but I just can’t!!! Paris Baguette is a franchise, so the pastries and food are all pretty much the same at every location you go to, so it really boils down to the stuff they make on the spot (coffee, lattes, etc.) and the staff.
The food is always delish, so I won’t take that away from them at all. I’m a frequent purchaser of the hot dog snack and the hash brown something (sorry, I’m totally blanking on the names, but you’ll know exactly what I’m talking about if you see these items!). These are my go-​to breakfast items when I’m not feeling the usual bagel or eggs. However, once in a while I will get a coffee if I need that boost. Their coffee is okay. I honestly don’t think it’s anything special, but the cups that they are served in are so freaking cute that it makes me overlook the mediocrity of their caffeinated beverages. Alright and my last bit is about the staff. They are friendly and I’ve never encountered anyone being rude or unhelpful, so that’s great. The only thing is that they don’t seem to be that great at listening to requests. Every time I’ve visited this establishment with my boyfriend, we always ask for separate bags even though we pay together because we separate to our respective offices after picking up breakfast, and they always say yes, but then proceed to give us our food in one bag… I know it’s something small and petty, but it’s something that sticks out because it’s EVERY time and with different cashiers. I don’t know, I’m probably being dumb, I think it’s important to always deliver the best service that you possibly can!
Overall, I’ll continue to visit this location because it’s convenient and I’ve never had a «bad» experience here, but hopefully, someone will eventually give me 2 bags instead of 1!

Definitely met our needs — we just grabbed a quick coffee and a pastry before our Broadway show. I was surprisingly pleased by the red bean/​green tea pastry I tried. Could use more seating.

We were looking for a coffee place that wasn’t Starbucks and we stumbled upon this gem. This location has a phenomenal staff. They answered all of our questions and the management staff took into consideration many of our recommendations to better their business. The coffee is decent and they sell a bunch of small pastries that look delicious! There are several locations around the city (mostly the West side and in New Jersey!)

Pretty good food 2 blocks away from Times Square. This is a chain with grab-​and-​go sandwiches, salads and pastries. Pastries is what makes them different from a lot of other similar places in the neighborhood.
I tried their blueberry/​cheese, cheese and raisin cream pastries. They were all tasty but not the freshest. It was Sunday night and it might explain why there were no too fresh.
Pesto chicken sandwich was ok. Chicken and roasted pepper on a toast covered with pesto.
Hot tea was great. It was brewed from a mash socket.
The staff was great. And I liked their sitting on the third floor with a nice view of the billboards and pedestrians.

Given that the only other Paris Baguette I knew of is located in NW Philly, I was surprised to find one of these in NY. JJ and I needed some breakfast, stat, so that we could get started on our last day in the city. We both got coffee and a sausage wrapped taco style in a biscuit and covered in cheese.
The hot dog (I hesitate to say «sausage») was sliced and covered in plenty of cheese, and the biscuit was thick and buttery – would have been a great hot breakfast item. However, the pastry must have been sitting out for a while, because it was quite cold when I got to it. None of the cashiers offered to warm it up and the coffee I had was, in a word, terrible. There were grounds all over the bottom of the cup, which I discovered to my disgust when I was about to finish it a while later.
I have been impressed with the other pastry options at Paris Baguette in the past, but I would stick to the sweet rather than the savory in the future.

Great pastries here and a lot of different varieties as well! I’ve visited here over a handful of times when coming to New York City. The macarons are delicious and the cakes look absolutely beautiful. Everything I’ve had here has been great, including the chai lattes and vanilla lattes.

I stopped in today for a quick lunch after a business meeting. I went to the second floor for the gourmet deli and was promptly greeted. I ordered a ham and cheese on a pretzel roll and a mango spritzer. My lunch was reasonably priced, just the right portion size and so very tasty! There are a handful of tables to enjoy your lunch and the restaurant was bright and inviting. I highly recommend this gem of a spot for a quick, enjoyable lunch.

I been to Paris Baguette before but this is the first time at this location (surprising, since I work so close). Like many of the other locations, they have most of the baked goods out (wish they were behind a protective glass, though) and you can just pick up what you like and take it to the register. The left side has most of the bakery goods while the right has bottled beverages, pre-​made food, and seriously delicious looking cake. The prices are very affordable and the lines go by quickly (a bit disorganized during peak hours though). They do have a manager that does a stock check and replenish items.
While, I like you can pick your own items, I wish they had more tongs or napkins available. I have seen people use their grubby hands and manhandle each donut before deciding they wanted a different pastry. The bread (French baguette, most notably) should come pre-​wrapped cause you don’t want it touching everything on your way to the register.

Cronuts might be the least healthy type of food ever created.
However, if you’re going to eat one, you might as well get it here! (They’re good and #YOLO)
That aside, this location is a bit under stocked compared to the others I’ve been to, but the quality still seems to be consistent. It’s also a bit overpriced, but I typically go to Manhattan expecting to pay astronomical prices anyway. So 4 stars seems reasonable for now.

Korean bakery with good baked goods. Seatings are available on the 2^nd and 3^rd floor. Barely any seating on the first floor. There is one bathroom (for both women/​men) on the second floor.

This is the third Paris Baguette that I have been to and it is my favorite!
4 ½ stars
The cakes are beautiful displayed and there were so many yummy treats! I am not a fan of their cronuts though. Maybe because it has fillings. My favorite is their Green Tea CHIFFON cake. It is absolutely the BEST. I love how light and airy the cake is and the flavor of green tea is not over powering.
We had a going away party for an on-​the-​same-​floor-​coworker party and ordered the Green tea and blueberry cake. Still really yummy but it is more dense than the chiffon cake. They apparently only do the individual pieces of the chiffon cakes?
Close to my office so I can get my cake fix

I dropped in to this café and bakery for a quick bite on the go before a massage. I ended up staying for what turned out to be meal that stands up to a top-​notch brunch.
Baristas are dressed in berets and striped shirts as they whip up your lattes and pour your coffee. The serving level on the main floor is a little tight because you have a wall of pastries on either side. And you will want them all. Going through their wide selection of authentic French pastries is a visual feast for the eyes and the taste does not disappoint.
The upstairs dining area feels more spacious with french-​style furniture in a minimalist setting. Employees frequent often to keep it clean and the chairs are ultra comfy. Patrons keep conversations to low and civil tones.

I had the caprese salad marked fresh, prepared that day and made with local ingredients. The mozzarella was indeed fresh and there were no wilted arugula or iceberg leaves. They add some olives and onions, and a small cup of balsamic vinaigrette.
The strawberry cream cake is heaven! Layers of thick cream and fresh sponge cake make a bed for fresh strawberries and blueberries and, as much as I tried to savor it, it was gone too soon.
Today is also the day I try a croissant donut for the first time. I’d never say no to a croissant or a donut, but describing this as merely two good things put together is not enough. Two delicious things have combined to create a delectable, indulgent treat that is so much more than the sum of its parts– flakier outside than a croissant and buttery and chewy inside and filled with cream.
It’s not my last cronut and not my last time here.

I visited my office office which is located in Times Square and was worried I wouldn’t be able to find a place for lunch nearby. I almost gave into Baja Fresh when I turned the corner and saw Paris Baguette! I love this pace in Korea and there are none in my city. I got a café sandwich, pudding, mango spritzer, and then Korean bread pastries for breakfast the next morning. The sandwich was a nice lighter sandwich option. The manga spritzer was refreshing but not overly sweet which I really liked. It reminded me of the less-​sweet fruit spritzers that I had when I visited Europe. For a small bread selection, I liked options they had. They were noticeably more fancy and interesting than the the bread selection in the Korean bakeries where I lived.
I’m glad I found this place near my office and it offered a little taste of home while I was away.

Another coffee failure in Midtown Manhattan. Stopped in with my fingers crossed, hoping for good, French-​style coffee. What I received was basically water with essence of coffee. $ 2.40 for a large. Not exactly cheap. I totally agree with the other Unilocaler that said it tastes like gas station coffee.
Ugh, I give up.

This is the location we run to purchase Birthday cakes when someone has a Birthday in the office. I must say the cakes are very light and delicious. I had their Americano caffe and loved it! I loved it so much that I placed a smile on my cup!

I will keep this review nice and short. The place itself is very clean and their cakes are the best in New York. The frosting/​cream on top of the cake is not too sweet and esthetically it is gorgeous. They always use fresh fruits!
I been to at least over a handful of Paris Baguettes around NY and I don’t have anything negative to say about any of them.

While everyone posts pretty pictures of pastry, we hunkered down with some very satisfying sandwiches – not overstuffed but fresh, tasty, and nicely constructed. The coffee is pretty great, too, and the staff seemed friendly.
Head to the third floor, with its sophisticated seating and window bar for your entertainment. It was nearly empty in the evening and made a good pre-​theater stop.
Why, oh why isn’t this outpost of PB open late? We would have come back and had dessert!

Macaroons, baked goods, and beautiful cakes, there is never a time that I pass by a Paris Baguette without going in and buying myself a treat!
By night time, a lot of the goodies are gone which tells me that at least the next day everything is fresh.

Schönes Café mit sehr schöner Auswahl an süßen Köstlichkeiten. Die Preise sind zwar etwas höher, aber hier findet man feine Kuchen und Co. abseits von Donut und Muffins

Stopped in here right before close after a long day of traveling, theatre going, and general fun-​times. At dinner we were in too much of a rush to grab dessert so I hadn’t met my daily sugar quota so before we went back to the hotel to retire for the night I had to stop and sample.
It was right before close so they were a bit cleaned out but there was still plenty to choose from. Lots of prepackaged baked goods but also desserts available. I went for the chocolate lava cake and a strawberry crème cake to try. The chocolate lava cake was in the cooler so they microwaved it up for me and OH MY DAMN. It was good. There was also some sort of vanilla sauce in there mixed in and it was gooey and rich and great. The strawberry cake which I snacked on the next day held up really well and was much lighter and frothier but no less awesome.
If you’re not a sweets person that’s ok. They also carry sandwiches, breads, and salads. Didn’t try those but they look good. I’d imagine they’d be a nice lunch or casual dinner option if you’re in the area.
Service was friendly. Prices were a little higher for one piece of cake but par for the course for NYC. I’d definitely return!

So I’ve been to this Paris Baguette a few times now, and overall, I like it better most other bakeries.
They seem to always have different items each day. I’ve tried a bunch of them, but other than one or two, I did like most of their food. I’ve tried their croissants, croissant-​donuts, caneles, apple pies, and a few other stuff.
This location has a LOT of seating. You basically buy your food on the first floor, and move on to the 2^nd or 3^rd if you’d like to stay in and eat. It also seems pretty clean.

Bello y rico!!!
