Paris Baguette

Bought a chocolate chiffon cake on Thursday early evening to celebrate a birthday on Friday. I kept the cake refrigerated right away until we took it out for the celebration. Before purchasing, I had asked the employee at the store if their cakes were really fresh and not days old as their cakes in the past used to be very dry and seemingly old. The employee ensured me that all cakes were fresh. I took out the cake on Friday only to find that their "fresh" cake had completely molded strawberries on them. The picture isn't very clear, but the two strawberries have fuzzy white and green mold on it. FUZZY, WHITE, GREEN MOLD. Never going to Paris baguette again. Their cakes are over double the amount they used to be too. Truly disappointing, shows how long they must keep these cakes stashed in, they probably swap the fruits around from cakes that didn't sell.

I stop by here whenever I come to HMart. They got a decent variety of pastries. Among the ones I tried, I like the crab meat croquette, and the small soft cheese cake is surprisingly good. As for their red bean bun and twisted donut, it’s unpleasantly too sweet. I also tried the peanut bread and although it had some of the peanut butter flavor, it was average. It tasted more like simple sugar bread. It’s pretty expensive considering how small some of the breads are and their weak coffee. Service was good though, there was a young lady with the bleached hair who was very sweet.

My mother and I bought a cake and pastries from here. I am not from nj so anytime I visit my mother I am excited to come here. My mother asked if the cake was fresh due to getting a cake earlier in the month from here and it being dry. Miguel already seemed annoyed with her question so I wanted to leave not feeling very welcome there after she asked a simple question but she wanted to get me the cake anyways. It’s a shame that her wanting to ensure she has a fresh cake is annoying to the employees here. We were going to sit there and enjoy the pastries we got but I wanted to just leave after that. She asked if a knife and candles were included and Miguel said he put them in there, when she asked for 22 candles he just kept saying he can’t give 22 single candles and gave her plenty (10 candles) once again sounded annoyed and just repeated the same thing twice. I told her let’s go because I hate dealing with employees that aren’t friendly and he was not friendly from the start. It’s a shame that a $46 dollar cake can’t come with 22 cheap candles especially after we just spent $75. Everytime I have ever bought a cake I am always asked how many candles are needed, not just a random number thrown in the bag. We will not make the mistake in coming here again, I’ll stick with the bakery in little ferry, better products and customer service.

Bakery is good but I wish someone teach the employees how they will make cappuccino, it was like regular coffee no foam.

We LOVED our surprise birthday confetti cake. It tasted delicious and the confetti/chocolate candy center was a huge hit with kids and parents! Joelimarie was absolutely fantastic with her customer service! Thank you, Joelimarie! She helped us customize this cake with the pink frosting and extra piping. All we had to do was add unicorns and candles.
