Paris Baguette — Restaurant in Fairfax

I bought two slice cakes today at Fairfax, VA for valentine; Ganache Cream Cake Slice and Mocha Cake Slice. I took a couple of bites of Ganache cream cake and then noticed what looked like a strand of hair in the cake. It wasn’t just on the surface or stuck to the frosting, it was embedded between the layers. This means it got in during the production process, not just during packaging. I couldn’t eat the rest of that piece and had to throw it away. How does hair even end up in the manufacturing process?

It almost seemed like they reserved burnt items for this order because it was delivery and thought I couldn't protest. Well, I'm going back in person to request correctly baked replacements for the red bean bun and...

I visited this Paris Baguette bakery inside H-Mart Fairfax after having breakfast nearby, and it turned out to be a great decision. The iced vanilla macchiato was just perfect—strong coffee with a subtle vanilla flavor and just the right sweetness. The staff made the coffee drink with just enough simple syrup to make it perfect for me. I also enjoyed some pastries with red beans and cream topped with icing sugar, which satisfied my sweet craving and paired well with my coffee.

The sitting area in front of this small Paris Baguette location was clean and tidy, and the ample parking in front of H-Mart made it convenient to...
