Paris Baguette — Restaurant in Brea

I just went here for the very first time. The reason I gave it a four out of a five, is I was kind of hoping for more like actual food than just pastries and cookies and cakes, coffees and tea. I got four macarons and you have to make those correctly if they're too soft you did them wrong if they're too hard you did them wrong they have to be a happy medium they were perfect! The Strawberry Shortcake macaron is my favorite by far I could eat 50 of those, to the bad they can't make a box of each flavor by itself instead of a mix box. And I also got a unsweetened Jasmine green tea and that's pretty tasty. I do wish they had more variety of like sandwiches or salads. There was another customer who came in who showed me kind of how it works when you grab a bunch of stuff and then pay for it. The guy at the counter was very nice and friendly. But I will definitely be checking it out again. I think what I don't like and maybe that's just cuz I'm a millennial, I don't like how you have to be forced to give a tip... But the pastries looked amazing, LOL I just don't want to go crazy on sweets when you really want a salad or a sandwich. Anyways thanks for making my first experience with this place special especially with the strawberry...

Paris Baguette has always been my favorite pastry shop, and the location on Imperial Highway is the most convenient for me. However, I’m now considering switching to a different store because of an issue with a newly hired cashier—I believe his name is Eric.

Since he started working here, my shopping experience has become uncomfortable due to his unpleasant attitude and concerning hygiene practices. He never wears gloves and frequently touches the inside of the packaging bag with his bare hands. Additionally, his overall appearance—both his uniform and personal hygiene—makes me feel that he doesn’t take cleanliness seriously.

What upset me the most happened today when he accidentally dropped my pastry on the counter and still attempted to pack it as if nothing happened. I had to stop him and insist on choosing another one. While he did let me pick a replacement, I now worry whether he put the dropped pastry back on the shelf after I left.

Because of these ongoing concerns, I no longer feel comfortable purchasing pastries from this location. I hope management takes hygiene and customer service more seriously to ensure a better experience...

Paris Baguette in Brea has a wide variety of artisanal sandwiches, salads, chia seed pudding, pastries, cakes, coffees and more! I like that they are not overly sweet. Good customer service. Lovely outdoor patio area.

Get ready to indulge in the taste of Paris!! 🥐🍰🥪

What we tried: 💙Chocolate Chip Strawberry Pastry 💙Chocolate Cream Filled Croissant 💙Curry Croquette 💙Chocolate Strawberry Cake Piece 💙Tiramisu Piece

Their cake slices are so cute in their box! Looks so beautiful!

The Strawberry Soft Cream Cake slice tasted as good as it looked! Not too sweet. The tiny chocolate sign had a great snap and very chocolatey. The strawberries were firm. The cake was light and spongy. I like frosting that’s not too sweet. It was delicious!

Great...
