Alright, Paris Baguette! We Need to Talk...
Enough is enough! I don't know whether to be excited that Paris Baguette has finally come to town or furious because they're absolutely wrecking my 2025 weight-loss goals. I've been there every single week since March when they opened, determined to try everything on the menu like it's a personal mission assigned to me by the carb gods.
Let me just say--this place is a gem. I used to think The Glass Knife in Winter Park, FL was the only bakery/cafe in Florida that could make me feel like I was stepping into another country, but no--Paris Baguette enters into the chat! The moment I walk in, I'm transported. It's like France and a Pinterest board had a love child!
The vibe you ask? Immaculate. Soft conversations, happy faces, and displays of gorgeous pastries that make choosing just one feel like emotional betrayal to the rest.
Now, let's talk favorites: the Palmier has my heart. Flaky, buttery, and just sweet enough--it's dangerously addictive. And my go-to drink? A hot Chai Tea Latte with oat milk. I did cheat on it once and tried the iced version--no regrets. Honestly, I'll probably stick to this combo until someone messes up my order... and then I'll begrudgingly explore the rest of drink menu.
So far, there hasn't been a single thing I didn't like. Everything looks like it should send you straight into a sugar coma--but surprisingly, the flavors are balanced and not overly sweet. Even my kid was impressed. Today's pick was a mochi Easter-themed donut. I snuck a bite--quality control, obviously--and it was chef's kiss!
The only downside is parking. It's a mild headache. But once you step inside, all is forgiven. The staff is lovely, the ambiance is chill, and the treats are worth every calorie and minor parking tantrum.
To make a long story short, Paris Baguette is a must-try, but don't blame me when you become a weekly regular but just in case you do...see you next week friends!
