Stopped by Paris Baguette for a small dessert after having dinner at a nearby restaurant. Conveniently just a few feet away, this place came in clutch without having to do too much. The store was still pretty busy on New Years Eve. Students studying, catch up sessions, and families enjoying an evening dessert filled the establishment. Luckily for us, the selection of baked goods still had a few options. The pastry case didn't lack items and my daughter absolutely needed to get her tiny hands on a macaron. 5/5 stars for the patient staff who didn't huff and puff over my indecisive toddler. Purchases tasted good as well.

Convenient location and the usual decor. Long wait late in the morning when I was just trying to quickly grab a pastry. There were four people ahead of me and it stayed that way for 15 minutes. Not sure what caused the pause in line processing. I assume it's a one off, so not accounted for in the three stars for the review. The three stars is for cleanliness and food. The table had multiple brown dried sticky brown rings from drinks, some dehydrated looking whipped cream like it had sat there forever, and a bunch of crumbs. I got the garlic sausage pastry. The pastry, once heated up, dripped a bunch of orange oil (from the cheese?) to the bottom of the bag. The texture of the pastry was sticky and mushed together. Kind of like a gooey, cotton candy texture if you mixed flour in with cotton candy? Lastly, for some reason this pastry was topped with sugar; the sausage was savory but the pastry was sweet. It was weird. Haven't had anything else here but I assume it's consistent with other PBs? Wouldn't get that pastry at any location again though.

Had a real craving for some cake and croissants while in the area so to Paris Baguette we went. This Paris Baguette is located in downtown San Mateo so parking can be tough on busy nights. You might not find a spot directly in front on the street, but you can usually find parking in the nearby parking garage (might just have to keep going higher up). Wherever you park though, walking through downtown San Mateo isn't a bad deal. When I visited, I was there near the end of the evening so a lot of the pastries/snacks were sold out. It was kinda sad to see some of the pastries all dried out but that's what happens when you go late. Still, I was able to find some snacks I liked: an almond croissant (eh, it was okay) and we got a blueberry cake (delicious!). Got in line and it moved pretty quickly so no complaints there. There's lots of tables in the shop and quite a crowd of folks hanging out so it's definitely a busier location on a weekend evening. Worth a stop by if you're craving sweets in downtown!

I came here after a fasting blood draw and was starving. I wanted caffeine and some goodies - I came in and it looked like Paris - and now I'm having Deja vu because I thought I wrote this review - well anyway, I noticed that it was self serve and was upon closer inspection like a Sheng Kee bakery with Asian goodies mixed in with French - ordered a double espresso macchiato and picked up an almond croissant, a cream filled something, and a sponge cake thing - ok the woman making the coffee knew what she was doing - it was good quality and short pulls for the espresso. The almond croissant was quite enjoyable. The cream filled thing and the song cake were perfectly cmulentnidntoynfauge them against Asian pastored, but don't expect depth of flavor and richness of French pastries. Overall I enjoyed my French bits very much and that's enough for me! I'd suggest sticking to French items though you might not always be able to tell. I need to return for another doppio macchiato and to tr their baguette

Was craving a smoothie and found out Paris Baguette actually had some so we stopped by around noon on a Monday. This store has lots of seating and natural light, there were lots of people working on their laptops inside. Had all the usual selection of pastries available. We got an almond pastry to snack on and an iced butter pecan latte with almond milk. There were 2 smoothie flavors available, strawberry and mango. I wasn't sure which one to get, so I asked the cashier for a recommendation and ended up with mango -- and it definitely didn't disappoint! Smoothie was the perfect consistency and sweet, and also had small mango bits. With that said, the butter pecan latte was a let down, didn't taste the butter pecan flavor at all, it was basically just a normal latte. I would have probably given 5 stars, if not for the latte (esp since it's a winter special).

Over the years I know I have complained about PB variety selection has gone down, which is true, but as I walked into this Paris Baguette location, I immediately noticed a wide variety of pastries and other goodies. PB is still not what it used to be 10 years ago. They discontinued their puddings which came in a mini glass bottle. They would sell out of these puddings. Their vanilla, chocolate, cookies & cream crème filled croissants also discontinued. The main pastry that I go after now is their croissant with vanilla cream with slices of strawberries. PB in Dublin still serve it but they got stingy with the cream. PB SF next to Hmart also sell it and they overflow their croissants with cream.Not sure if PB San Mateo sells them.

I came by around 7:30pm and the store was still stocked and clean. There was plenty of seating as well to sit down and enjoy the food there. I got 3 slices of cake to go and got a candle too. I also got a few pastries like mochi donuts and croissant with icing.My brother got the mango drink and said it was one of the best he's had

I went late night around 1045 and they decided to close down the espresso machine early. Then I asked what time do you guys close and the girl said at 11 and I said well why is your espresso machine on? She continued with I can offer you plain coffee, I took it, but I was very dissatisfied with the service and they lost out on returning customer.
