We finally got over to Paris Baguette after hearing about it for many months now. With so many bakeries to choose from in Carlsbad, any new establishment has to standout to make it and Paris Baguette does just that. Right when you enter through the front door, you almost unconsciously say “Wow”.
Grab a tray and tongs and get ready to make some hard decisions
The choices of baked goods is extensive and we found a lot of popular choices and a number of exotic ones.
The selection here is for both breakfast and lunch/dinner – so keep your mind open as you browse through a number of large display cases that remind you of high-end retail jewelry shops.
Many of the pastries look like art
We had a really hard time narrowing down our choices here. Everything looked incredible fresh and delicious.
Savory options were also abundant including hot dog croissants and miniature pepperoni pizzas.
There are also many dessert options here and gourmet coffees
The display of artistic options continued into the dessert case with cakes, tarts, macaroons, and more.
Prices are reasonable and there is inner and outside seating
The food tasted just as good as it looked. Perfectly toasted almonds and a good sized wallop of filling elevated the almond croissants to top-shelf status. Fruits were fresh and the custard/creme filled pastries were light with a hint of lemon. The French influence was evident throughout the menu. Maple creme was delicious. We will definitely return soon to try out some more of these gems. We regret it took us so long to get here.
