Visiting from Canada, there's none of the Korean chain bakeries there so when I saw Paris Baguette, I was super excited. I am a huge fan of Paris Baguette, because they are everywhere in Korea, plus they have inexpensive pastries. I had time to spare before dinner so I wanted to buy some desserts to eat afterwards.
In Korean bakeries, you basically grab a tray, a pair of tongs, and start picking out whatever you like! They had an enormous selection of slices of cakes, pastries, and juices. They had a blueberry chiffon cake slice and it was so cute that I couldn't pass it up. It was delicious! One reason why I like Korean desserts is because they aren't sweet and taste very simple. Korean desserts don't have frosting, but rather have an unsweetened whip cream, which I like. The slice was huge and I believe I got it for less than $5.
There was also Mango Pudding!! This is one of my favourite desserts so I was so excited. It was in a mini glass jar, packaging +1. When I tried it, I was super disappointed because it wasn't mango pudding. It was like creme caramel and I felt that the syrup was too sweet for me.
Small pastry shop near Columbus Circle peddling soft bread, desserts, and interesting baked goods. Grab a tray and a pair of tongs to start the over-indulging.
Between two people: their version of a cronut, a cupcake, banana/blueberry french toast, a kiwi smoothie, and a hot chocolate ($15 altogether). What makes their pastries different is that each one is filled with something. I found each of the pastries a little on the hard side (except for the cronut) and a bit too sweet. The kiwi smoothie has an intense fruit flavor, with again, a lot of sugar….same for the hot chocolate.
This place certainly delivers for the sweet tooth, but if you're coming here then balance out the meal better. I suggest a bitter coffee to go with any one of the baked items. Limited seating in the back, so might have to take to go.
This is not one of their better franchises. They don't have as wide a selection, and seating is limited.
I got a chicken salad sandwich for $7 for a quick meal. It was packaged but very good.The croissant sandwiches were gone by dinner time. For pastries, grab a tray and tongs and pick away! The pastries I bought (one had a raspberry and cream cheese filling, my weakness!) was good and fresh but nothing memorable. Pastry prices are reasonable and the selection of sandwiches and pastries is good considering the small space.
Paying is confusing though because there are two open registers and one person. You may have to assert yourself if someone tries to pay ahead of you. Just tap your inner New Yorker. lol. Coffee and other drinks are available and kettle chips. There are also a few counter seats. It's bright and cool (temperature wise) in there.
A franchised French place that I would go to again.
I really like Paris Baguette. They have a really good selection of tasty cakes and pastries. Their chocolate buttercream cake is yummy and a surefire crowd pleaser for any birthday. They also have a good selection of breads, sandwiches and coffee.
Similar to a lot of the other chain style bakeries/coffee joints in New York but their quality is definitely a notch above. Can't wait to try all their yummy looking pastries!
Here for breakfast. Their bakery is amazing. The bread with green filling tasters super. Love it.
