| - For those that do not know, Paris Baguette is a hugely successful bakery in South Korea with thousands of locations. They try to emulate a french bakery with some Korean influence particularly with Red Bean and Mochi. For those from California, Paris Baguette is not a big deal as there are many locations particularly in Koreatowns in LA and SJ. However, I was excited to learn Vegas was getting one but then finding out it was in the Venetian.
Luckily, the bakery has opened a location in the Chinatown Mall Plaza near Ranch 99. They have fresh baked bread daily, a large selection of coffee and tea drinks, as well as cakes, macaroons, and ice cream selections.
Since Paris Baguette carries the same breads from store to store for the most part, I knew what to expect when going here. Every pastry I've had has met or exceeded my expectation of quality. It's notable that getting bread here early is better than late. The later in the day, the drier the bread may be.
I've had the raisin bread sliced loaf, blueberry cream pastry, several croissants, mochi donut and pastry, as well as a hashbrown pastry with ham and cheese in it. Everything was really delicious. Perhaps more importantly, their 'sweet' choices aren't overwhelmingly so.
I've also gotten to eat a couple of their cake slices, all of which were very moist and tasty. I'll definitely be a regular here particularly for the pastries.
They had their grand opening on the weekend of the 19-21st, so I managed to snag one of their insulated lunch bags too.
