Crema's Take
“Paris Baguette's soufflé cheesecake is genuinely worth the trip, though you'll need to brace yourself for Arctic-level air conditioning that makes lingering uncomfortable. The pastries are consistently fresh and the menu variety keeps regulars coming back, but reviewers consistently report inconsistent food availability and a noticeable decline in the welcoming atmosphere that once defined this location. It's solid for a quick grab-and-go pastry and dependable coffee, just don't expect the experience to feel as polished as it used to.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, quick-grab. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Parking available.

Delicious souffléd cheese cake. For my European taste a little bit too cold. Why does every place need to freeze their customers? Also not very sustainable… so much trash after you’re done with your coffee and cake. I feel they could utilize the open space better.

This is a great spot for an after-dinner dessert, a study session, or even grabbing a bite during the day. The coffee is solid, not fancy but dependable, and hits the spot. The pastries are fresh and well-made, with the croissants and tarts being standouts. What really sets…
