Paris Baguette

If you're looking for a delightful pastry experience, Paris Baguette is a must-visit! Each item displays a level of artistry that showcases the skill and creativity of the bakers. One standout is their hot milk chocolate. It’s incredibly creamy and rich, making it the perfect companion to any pastry. During my recent visit with friends, we decided to order a variety of pastries to take home, and we were not disappointed. Each pastry was not only visually appealing but also bursting with flavor. From flaky croissants to decadent cakes, everything looked and tasted delicious. Definitely a must to go when you are in Chicago!

Best Paris Baguette branch in the Chicago land area. I bought a “Sticky Milk Bun” and a slice of “Chocolate Ganache Cream Cake”. The cake was too good. Never had I tried such a well done cake. If you are around this area this is a must try place. All the bakery items were also fresh and tastes good.

Best breakfast! They have savory quiches, bagels, sandwiches, as well as sweet pastries, donuts, bagels and much more. They brew LaVazza coffee, which is the only reason I even considered this place. That's the best coffee in the world. You will love this place! Wish we had one nearby!

Cute place to have pastries at. This location has a great view of downtown and great ambiance as well. The service was good, they were very kind and helpful. The place was clean and smelled amazing. I had a chocolate ganache and a Red velvet cake slice. It was soft and tasty.

Great option in Chicago for breakfast. they.ofwrece a wide variety of breads and sweets, all of which look incredible. There are also several hot drink options, such as lattes for example. The service is very friendly, which surprised me. Without a doubt, a great option in Chicago.

I LOVE PASTRIES this place has delicious pastries and coffee as well but the service is horrendous! Specially the cashier girl Latina ethnicity/Indian I believe. Service should be just as good as their food items. A more welcoming staff would be nicer. I was confused and was looking for help but the staff just ignored us and kept talking about their job duties instead.

Great! The pumpkin cream was so delicious and really hit the spot. The chocolate croissant really was lacking on the chocolate and tasted like a Starbucks one - fine, but I would recommend something else because there were so many delicious options.

What a great place! When you walk in you are hit with the lovely smells and beautiful pastries. To the left of the door there are trays and tongs. Then you can open the cases and grab what you want. Then get in line to pay and order a drink if you like. I got a fruit tart. It was divine. I got a large iced coffee with oat milk. They have sugar and Splenda packets on a counter. They also have cups and water to help yourself to. Very clean and friendly service. No cash credit only. They have seating inside and outside. They also have salads and sandwiches available.

Paris Baguette is one of those places where I can never just grab one thing. Whether I'm craving a flaky pastry, a creamy cake, or a savory bite, this spot always delivers with fresh, high-quality baked goods that look as good as they taste. What I Love & Always Get: Pastries & Breads - From buttery croissants to soft milk bread, everything is fresh, airy, and perfectly balanced--not too sweet, not too heavy. Their cheese tarts and almond croissants are so good! Cakes & Desserts - Their strawberry soft cream cake is so light, fluffy, and beautifully made. The mocha cake and chocolate ganache cake are also must-tries if you're a chocolate lover. Everything here has that delicate, not-overly-sweet French-style flavor that makes each bite feel indulgent yet light. Savory Items - Don't sleep on their ham & cheese croissants, egg tarts, or their hot dog bread--these are so satisfying and make for a quick, easy meal. Drinks - A solid coffee & tea selection to go with your pastries! Their iced lattes pair perfectly with any sweet treat. Why I Keep Coming Back: Great mix of sweet & savory options - perfect for any mood! Everything is super fresh & beautifully made Perfect spot for a grab-and-go treat or a quick café stop Consistently good, with plenty of variety If you're in the mood for high-quality pastries, cakes, or a quick but satisfying bite, Paris Baguette is always a great choice! Whether it's a morning pastry run or a sweet afternoon treat, this place never disappoints.

While it is a bakery chain (fun fact a South Korean bakery chain), it is still one of my favorite places in the city. They have comparatively unique bakery items and are probably all worth a try. One of my go-to is the Jumbo Twisted Donut. The coffee isn't bad, I've tried a few flavors. I got the Iced Frappe less sweet and it's what you'd expect. Blended coffee with whip cream. I'm not sure what's with the WiFi but it's hit or miss. It didn't feel like connecting for me today so just a heads up if you plan to get work done you might not be able to without a hotspot.

Love the deserts at Paris Baguette. Their cakes never disappoint. I love the croissants as well. I recently tried their crab buns which was very good. The process of picking items and then billing at the counter, makes the purchase process pretty quick and convenient.

We had a disappointing small breakfast at a different restaurant and did a quick search to find an alternative option. I'm so glad we stopped here. There are so many options to choose from. Everything is self-serve, so you select the pastries and put them on your tray. I don't love this, since you have numerous people walking in off the street and touching the tongs. It gets crowded, and we were lucky to snag a table. We tried a Butter Pecan Supreme Croissant ($5.99), Tiramisu Tart ($4.29), Coffee Bun ($3.69), & Butter Pecan Latte ($4.99). I can't wait to try more of their selection!

If you're a chocolate lover, get the chocolate ganache cake!! 10/10 so moist, rich, but also somehow light and fluffy!! I LOVE the macaroon they add on top also! Not usually a macaroon lover but this one is the best I've ever had! Coffee is Lavazza brand which I really enjoy! They seem to have a ton of different drink options for any coffee lover. All the employees here are sooo sweet and very patient! I've had the snowman donut which was very light and fluffy also. Not too sweet. Highly recommend Paris Baguette for ANYONE!

The pastries are great and fresh for the most part, definitely recommend the almond croissant and curry croquette. The sandwiches are good but on the pricier side. It's a decent place to WFH during the weekdays, and the coffee menu is pretty extensive. Download the app for perks and rewards!

Staying at the nearby Loews and wanted to get out of the hotel for a pastry/breakfast sandwich. Wandered a couple blocks and into Paris Baguette on E Illinois Street. Space was bright, clean, well laid out and welcoming and at entry you are greeted with several cases of sweet and savory pastries, along with cookies and muffins plus a small cold area with premade items and drinks. When you get done scoping all the goods. You can head to the small dining space to enjoy your goods. We ended up with a chocolate croissant and ham, egg and cheese pastry. Both were delightful. I decided to pair my pastry with a coffee and unfortunately I was not impressed with the iced coffee. I guess that's an indicator of why they are called Paris Baguette and not Paris Baguette and Coffee. Overall, cute space with tasty pastries and treats!

The matcha was a 10/10. We picked out a few pastries, they were all very good. The crab croquette was the absolute best thing we had. Service was quick and vibe was lovely!

Overall: Freshly baked and authentic taste near Navy Pier. The good: So many options to choose from, with all of them being made fresh by the hour (or less). The staff does a great job of refilling items that are running out, and I never felt like I was missing out on something. The process is relatively simple once you take in the vast amount of selections, and you can tell that there is a lot of care and attention put into every item on the shelf, from looks to flavor. Everything tasted delicious and we were certainly not disappointed. The not-so-good: Several things we wanted heated up, and we also got coffee. That process took longer than I would've expected. Some of the smaller items are a little over priced. Food/drink: 9/10 Atmosphere: 9/10 Service: 9/10

This place is incredible! A very bright and welcoming environment with delicious pastries and coffee. It's essentially a pick-your-own-pastry type of place with a huge selection of pastries to choose from. I went in the late afternoon, and everything was still incredibly fresh. You grab your own tongs and tray, walk around the store, and select which pastries you want. You then bring your tray up to the checkout counter, where you can also order coffee. Very simple and very fun!

Standard Paris Baguette, with different bread options. I did come here to do work however and their wifi was not working for some strange reason. Be mindful of that if you're trying to find a spot to wfh at!

Their breads, cake and coffee are all so good. The jalapeno cream cheese bread is my favorite and my husband loves the curry croquette and the hot dog buns. Their cakes are pricey especially their bigger one, but they're very worth it, especially for birthdays. Go check out their selection!

This bakery is so close to the hotel that we are currently staying at, therefore I decided to stop here for bakery treats and coffee to go. There are quite a lot of selections on the bakery items, too many to name. It was not that busy at this time in the morning. The coffee has several options and decent prices. I got a regular brew coffee and a cappuccino coffee. Both taste great, very smooth. As for the desserts, I brought a couple including the pineapple brûlée pastry and a pepperoni pastry because they caught my eyes. The staff here are quick and nice. There are quite a lot of tablets and chairs to sit and dine in.

Best crab croquette ever! Best rainbow bday cake! Fast service. Great drinks. They accommodate special requests for a less sweeter drink.

Paris Baguette is your fancy neighborhood bakery. I've been to a bunch of their locations throughout the area and I really enjoy the huge selection of baked goods offered. This is a great location with plenty of seats although it can get very packed during certain times, especially on weekends. I've tried a few items from this location and it can be a bit hit or miss in my experience. For example, I've bought their raisin bread loaf but the batch I got one time didn't seem super fresh and I don't recall them putting a sell by date on the packaging. They're constantly bringing out freshly baked products and you can watch their bakers working in the back of the bakery. I'm a fan of their ham and cheese croissant- ask for it to be heated up and eat it right away, it's delicious! I've also tried one of their curry croquettes but mine was under heated and the center was still cold- I'm sure it would've tasted better if it was heated up to the right temperature. They have lots of incredible looking cakes that you can buy by the slice or whole. They always offer a limited edition cake for the holidays, which is pretty neat. I ordered their chocolate cake recently and everyone loved it. The process was easy to do online. However they don't do customized messaging on any of their cakes, so just be aware of that before you order a $50 cake. They also don't offer different sizes for the whole cakes. The chocolate cake came in one size and said it fed up to 8 people but I think it could've easily fed 10-12 people.

Was excited to check out this new bakery in the neighborhood, especially from the rave reviews. Upon walking in, you're immediately greeted with endless options of pastries. I wasn't totally sure what to do so I perused around before following the lead of others and grabbed a tray/tongs to make a selection. It was very hard to choose what to try since they had many classics but also unique offerings, both sweet and savory, and even a separate display at the front for cakes and other refrigerated desserts. I noticed most people were filling up their trays, which I didn't understand health-wise but the model certainly seems to encourage "loading up". Anyway, the process is to bring your selection up to the cashier where they will ring you up and bag/box up your goodies if you're taking to go. This is also where you can order drinks, of which they have a full menu of coffee, tea, and smoothies. In terms of pastry quality, the ones I tried were just ok. I would be willing to stop in again and try some different ones, maybe earlier in the day when they're fresher, or a cake for a special occasion.

I've seen this place the past few times I've been over by AMC River East but today I stopped in for the first time and I'm glad I did. It's confusing at first - you open the door and see glass cabinets full of pastries. It was the end of the day so only the one cabinet had pastries but you could tell there's space for a lot. Everyone was walking around with trays and tongs. I turned around and found the tray station. The pastries alls seemed to be around $4.50ish which is high but honestly it is what it is. I found it interesting that people were filling up their trays with 5+ because that's easily $30 in pastries. After you get your pastries, you take yourself over to the register to check out. Anywho I got the cream cheese pastry and the hash brown bread. The hash brown bread had a sign that it was better warm but I ate it cold and found it to be tasty. I would probably get it again. But I really liked the cream cheese pastry. The center was so perfect. Overall, I was satisfied and I can definitely see myself popping in on occasion for a little treat.

This place is so good! We came for a quick bite for breakfast and coffee. You can pick your own bakery items and they have a great selection of both sweets and savory items.

Love the ambiance of this place. Very excited to have a new bakery in the neighborhood. We went for the first time today and there were lines but they were moving very fast thanks to speedy checkout staff. Nice areas to sit down and eat and they will heat up anything if you request it. New so everything looks pretty clean. I got a variety of pastries since it was our first time at the bakery. So far my favorite is the milk bread loaf (haha I'm so basic) and the hot green tea. *** Tip if you sign up for rewards on the app you can get a free small brewed coffee or hot tea on your first visit with purchase. We also got a rainbow cake as a surprise for our daughters. I'll be back to try the raisin milk bread AND the baguette sandwiches! Eager to support a new business in Streeterville.

Large selection of pastries and baked goods, each were just a few dollars (self serve and has prices/names listed for each item). Something for everyone! My one negative is it's very busy and the seating is always full (at least the two times we went). More outdoor seating available but of course if it's raining, can't use it.

I had a really good time at Paris baguette on a cold wintry morning. The bakery is large, airy, open clean. I walked in, grabbed a tray, and stared at it in amazement at all the beautiful selection pastries. I took a few, (well, maybe more than a few) paid at the counter, and sat at the table. My latte was good. The pastries were of mixed quality. The best was one of the small fruit tarts, crispy base, middle layer of vanilla cream, topped with fresh glazed fruit pieces. The pain au raisin was nice. The croissant was medium quality. Moderately flaky on the outside, but not as crisp as it could be, golden brown outer color, some layers in the middle, , good, buttery taste, chewy. Overall a really good experience.

DELICIOUS self-serve bakery. A ton of yummy options including a pretty extensive drink menu. I got something savory and something sweet and both were outstanding. I highly recommend the ham and cheese croissant. They are able to heat it up behind the counter and it was excellent - flakey and warm goodness. I will be back for more!! They had some unique and interesting flavors, as well as some real crowd pleasers. Plenty of seating for a late morning, but also a steady crowd coming in. I think it's going to be a popular spot!

Paris Baguette had been posted by my New York friends time and time again. I'm aware of the location near south loop/west loop, but it's typically an unmanned small area within H-mart, so I never even paid attention or went out of my way to go there. I ordered delivery from here once because I was in search of something resembling soufflé cheesecake one weekend. Obviously I had to order mochi donuts and coffee, and I'm SO glad I did. French/korean bakeries are #1 on my list whenever I'm bringing dessert or gifts to anyone. The level of mild sweetness is unmatched and between the cheesecake and mochi donuts here, this is definitely my new staple alongside with one other bakery. No lie, the mochi donuts at Paris Baguette were better than the mochi donut specialty shops I've had here. They managed to taste even better the second day although I don't anticipate anyone having leftovers! The cheesecake wasn't the jiggly type that I was looking for, but ohhhhhhhh gosh was it soft! So creamy, and light enough to finish in one sitting (I didn't eat it alone...but if I do in the future, don't judge me.) I kept getting ads for free mochi donut Fridays, and if I lived closer, you bet I'd be there every week this month! So happy to know this exists here, and looking forward to wowing my family and friends with more items at future gatherings!

I love Paris Baguette! They have the best pastries, cakes and snacks. I like the fact that everything on display is fresh. You have to take a tray and a pair of tongs and add on whatever you like from the display to the tray before paying. Their curry croquette, cheese tart, tiramisu and mini garlic croissants are my absolute favorite. They have lots of options for savory and sweet baked goods. Their coffee is great too! I usually just get mocha, but I have also tried their Nutella latte, green tea and americano. The service is basically just ordering and collecting your coffee and food from the counter. The ambience is clean with lots of light and open seating. They have a ton of food options and keep circulating the menu from time to time. A must try!

Good is good, lots of different pastries, sandwiches, cakes and lots of hot and cold drinks. Only if they have real cups and not just paper cups for customers dining in.

This Streeterville Paris Baguette location has become my go to spot for all occasions. A simple pick me up for myself, friends visiting from out of town, birthdays, and catering. Everything is ALWAYS perfection! Service is consistently spot on. The owner is almost always there, which shows me how much she cares. The staff is friendly and helpful. When I walk into this bright and beautiful bakery/cafe, I always feel a little better. My mood picks up because of the floor to ceiling windows that allow a ton of natural light in. Located on a corner, it's almost a wrap around view of city life. I appreciate how super clean this business always it. I ordered a chocolate chiffon cake for my son's birthday. It was more beautiful than expected and tasted light and dreamy. Yesterday I ordered catering for breakfast and lunch for a business meeting. My orders were ready on time and everything was packaged really well for travel, beautiful to look at, and absolutely delicious. One of the attendees told me it was the best business meeting he has ever attended. I love it. I will continue to be a regular!

Délicieuse! The best little paris cafe and bakery in the heart of streeterville! This was my second time here but first time dining in. This adorable little french café has more seating than your average coffee shops and tons of outstanding croissants, pastries, and desserts. It is self serve and hard to resist filling the tray with one of everything! Today, I got the pepperoni pizzetta toasted, a strawberry lemon filled croissant, and an iced cookie butter latte. All were absolutely exquisite down to the very last bite! So flakey, flavorful, and perfectly balanced! My cookie butter latte lacked the flavor this time around compared to the first time I tried it, so I was a little disappointed by that personally. But it was still very good and high quality. I studied while savoring every bite, and the café was consistently busy all day. But the pastries start to run out by the late afternoon so definitely come in the morning for the best selection! Fresh bread is made throughout the day as well, which is perfect to bring home for sandwiches or sides! I don't know french, but this spot is a big ~oui~ from me!

Popped in here after brunch at Yolk. This place is suuuper cute and the pastries look so yummy and fresh. I really wanted to try them all which can be dangerous lol may have to stay away! Highly recommend - it is pricey, but consider it on a splurge day.

Paris Baguette is a Korean bakery chain that originated in South Korea. They have various breads and pastries that are supposedly baked on a daily basis, all behind a bakery case, in which you obtain a tray lined with parchment paper and tongs, and make your way down to select whichever item you want. They have cakes and individual desserts and sandwiches and salads. Once you're done, just make your way to up to the cashier, where you can also order specialty hot and cold beverages or pay. Make sure you double check the pricing for their roll cakes, as the price listed on the shelf differs from what is rung up at the registers. To ensure fresh pastries, go early in the morning. Friendly and efficient service! +go early for fresh pastries +double-check pricing on items

Such a cute new place here in streetervillle ! I've been eyeing it and waited for it it up . Delicious pastries , cakes and even warm sandwiches etc.. fantastic coffee and staff is friendly. Plenty of indoor seating .

Such a cute shop. Service was great and the pastries were so fresh. Wish I could go here on a daily basis

Cute, cozy, clean bakery in downtown Chicago. It was within walking distance from our hotel so we gave them a try. Fresh baked goods, sweets, and beverages.

Food The pastries are delicious! We got the long donut with crispy rice on top, Frank roll, and the ham and cheese pastry! Service Self service: easy. Baristas are friendly and don't rush you Ambiance Spacious, casual vibes with indie music!

Absolutely amazing! One of the best pastries in Chicago or even in the USA. Great service. Very clean! Nice coffee for breakfast.

Ordered mixed berry birthday cake that was a crowd wower. Elegant, fluffy, fresh without being too sweet. Picked up additional croissants, pastries, and baguette that were also fantastic.

This self-serve bakery chain is one of my absolute favorites -- they have delicious sweet and savory pastries which you can select from the shelves, as well as the softest, spongiest cakes. I grabbed an assortment of croissants and donuts to fuel up before St. Patrick's Day shenanigans, as well as a Mini Strawberry Cake for a birthday surprise. Everything was delicious, and I really appreciated that they open so early in the morning!

Across the 3 times I have visited this place, the WIFI has been consistently unavailable, the wall outlets on the benches are non-functional. Bread and pastries are decent but not big enough of a pull factor. Definitely wouldn't come here to do work.

Love the amazing variety at Paris Baguette. The cakes, pastries and other bakery items are super delicious. The service is great and quick too!

So excited we have a bakery in the neighborhood now. Everything I bought was delicious. It's a great spot, clean and bright. The only thing that was lacking was customer service. No warm welcome upon arrival and check out was myself and a person the counter looking at each other. Never been In before so I didn't know the system of grabbing the tray etc. I know they are new, so I won't let the customer service stop me from doing back. Just hope it improves. The king cream donut was my favorite of all the goodies I brought home. Looking forward to my next visit.

Wow, what a great place. To be very honest, I came into use the ladies room. But I always buy something when I have to do this. I don't like to spend money on coffee, but gosh darn it, that was a very good chai latte. Totally worth the $5.50. Plus everything looked so delicious. Watched the baker bring out new treats while I waited. Can't believe I made it out without buying carbs. Well done, folks who work there.

Man, these places do a massive amount of business! But they truly have products that can't be beat. I was taking a class nearby over the weekend and used the lunch break to walk over and grab some treats. I got the chia seed pudding, a curry fritter, a pack of milk bread, a slice of the blueberry yogurt cake and an apple pie piece. I was thrilled I could still get the cake because it was out in the case but just asked at check out and they had more. All that ran about $33 and it was well worth it. And, no regrets on leaving anything behind because I later found out the husband had gone in after dropping me off and bought another load of things!! One thing they need to work on is the availability of napkins and silverware. No forks at all and only one spot to grab this stuff. It's hard to maneuver around when it's full and they should have both service items and garbage in more than one place.

This is a very nice place for a break. Coffee is delish and the pastries are decadent. A little pricey but you are getting quality.

Spotted this place leaving work. Was on a recent trip to Paris and missed a good croissant and was going to pick up a baguette. Walked in and was surprised by all the goodies. Ended up forgetting to purchase a baguette but got delicious croissant. Can't wait to go back for more. Prices were not bad and even better when I tasted the product. Also made for a great morning surprise for the wife and kids.

I like this Paris Baguette even more than the last one I went to because it was more spacious, it was cleaner, and it had more menu items. I had a strawberry croissant and it was very good.

I ordered a caramel latte from an older Asian lady who was working there. She accidentally put it in as a cappuccino. I noticed it when the called out the wrong drink and I asked her about it. She confirmed she accidentally put it in wrong and would remake it. She then remade it but still made a cappuccino. I did not realize this until I had already left. It is a problem if the staff does not know what a simple caramel latte is. This is the worst experience I've had at a cafe before.

Great spot for a good coffee and the perfect pastry! The prices are great. The staff is helpful. Their variety is incredible! Every morning I took a little walk here for my breakfast and family order. The place is super clean, all looks well kept.

We are so happy we have a Paris Baguette in our neighborhood. The pastries and customer service are amazing. This place is clean and bright, a very comfortable ambiance. My kids and I go there almost every day lol

Nearby for a conference, I walked by the shop. Through the window I noticed the wide array of beautiful pastries. I walked in and was greeted with a wonderful aroma of sweet and baked goods. I was a little overwhelmed at first, short on time to choose something. I settled on the chocolate almond croissants and was happy with my choice, delicious. I also bought an iced mocha that was superb. The staff were friendly. Next time I'm in town I will stop by to see my new favorite bakery.

We stumbled upon this bakery while in Chicago in May. Amazing baked goods, both savory and sweet! Seating was at a premium due to the rain, they have a small outdoor patio as well. Interesting concept, grab tongs and tray and peruse the cases. I'd recommend doing at least one complete lap before choosing! Something for everyone, coffee was great as well.
