The Paris Baguette nearest me was finally open, so we had to check if the hype measured up to the goods they had for sale. ☺️
Pros: the place was pleasant and welcoming, a line had formed, their trays contained a heap of sweet and savory options, looking quite pretty, so we went thru the aisles armed with our tongs and trays. Service was quick enough, and seats were plenty.
Cons: the flavor was lacking where it was needed most, we got a Coffee Bun, a Dubai Chocolate Mochi donut, a Pastel de Nata, a slice of Strawberry Pistachio Cake, a Mango smoothie and Iced Green tea. The food display was plenty, but were ordinary selections you could get from any regular Greenville Avenue bakery. Nothing eye-popping that we “had to” try. Didn’t particularly like the 🍓pistachio🍰, the syrup used reminded me of those plastic balloons we squeezed out of tubes and blew up with a tiny straw as kids.
One more thing: please give your staff a microphone to call out orders, their voices are sounding more tired the longer we sat there.
If I had to come back, maybe would try other items on display. But NGL, I’d line up for an hour at 85’ instead, knowing they had the flavors I liked.
