Paris Baguette — Restaurant in Chandler

I love Paris baguette food, but they never have what I like in stock. They are always sold out. Why is it so impossible to make enough? Today I came right when they opened because I wanted to grab a quick sandwich to eat on the way to work. But when I went in, they had almost nothing out. I understand if you just open you might not have everything out, but having nothing out is not acceptable. They were just barely wheeling out the carts full of trays of pastries to load them in the cases. Businesses are supposed to be ready to operate at full capacity when they open, not still be setting up. I had to leave for work and I was worried they wouldn’t Have the sandwiches out yet and of course they didn’t, so I had to ask an employee if they had any ready and Wait until they brought it out. I wanted a pastry too, but because they didn’t have them out I didn’t have time to wait for them to put them out so I can figure out what I wanted so I had to just leave so they lost money this morning because they were not prepared when they were supposed to be. Maybe they need to schedule their opening employees to come in a little bit earlier if that’s what’s necessary to actually be ready on time. Also, the sodas are not cold enough. If you’re gonna have an open cooler that doesn’t have doors then the temperature needs to be really low. So either lower the temperature or get a cooler with doors on it please. Bottles of soda are not cheap, it’s like three something dollars and if I’m spending that much on one little bottle of soda, it should be cold. This is really...

Mon Ami, Mon Amour, Mon Paris Baguette.

With over 4,000 locations around the globe since its founding in 1988, I'm thrilled Paris Baguette finally decided to cozy up closer to home!

Familiar with their pastries and flair, I chose to order my dad's birthday cake here this year instead of the usual go-to (sorry, TLJ). I went with the Soufflé Cheesecake--$40 of pillowy goodness. It was light, airy, and just the right touch of sweet. A lovely balance for a celebratory treat.

While I was at it (you know how it goes), I dove into a few more items: Dubai Chocolate Mochi Doughnut ($5.19) Pistachio Supreme Croissant ($5.75) Garlic Sausage Pastry ($4.89) Croissant Doughnut ($4.99) 20oz Iced Pistachio Latte ($5.99) 16oz Dubai Chocolate Matcha Latte ($6.99)

Oh, and that Dubai Chocolate Tart? A decadent $10.05 piece of indulgence and also quite costly compared to their other items.

One flavor note worth mentioning: many of their pistachio items leaned heavily on almond extract. While it does mimic the essence of pistachio fairly well, especially in pastries like the mochi doughnut and the tart, I wasn't as keen on it in the latte. It's a common swap, almond extract being more accessible and affordable than true pistachio.

That said, this location is a solid win. It's roomy, well-stocked, and a noticeable step up from the H Mart branch. Service was friendly, though they weren't accepting gift cards (a slight hiccup in an otherwise smooth experience).

I'll be back. Probably sooner than...

I so wanted to love this place! I tried a savory danish and a sweet one. The savory was basically a cold hotdog stuffed into a limp danish. It was borderline gross. They didn't offer to heat it up and in hindsight that might have made it so I could tolerate more than a few bites. The sweet pastry was much better, but it was overpriced. I had the small lemon and strawberry croissant and it was $3.69 and was maybe 4 bites. The worst part was the customer service. I ordered an iced tea and asked if they had sweetener, she said the only thing they had was simple syrup. So I clarified that they didn't have splenda or stevia - she told me no. So I walk over and right next to the napkins are piles of sweetener. So I nicely walked over to her and said, "oh, you do have sweetener," holding up a packet to show her. She replies, "oh, no, that's just for coffee, you can't use that in iced tea."...
