La Baguette De Paris

I made a huge mistake in handing over a $ 20. bill for a purchase of inexpensive «sweet bread.»
When waiting for the change, I received coins (and indicated the coins could go into the tip jar)…but they declined to give the significant «change» due in bills.

Disappointing. nothing French about it. I gave 2 stars because of lower prices, but food quality is not good. Pastries and we tried 3 types were all blah. Also they made my sandwich in a microwave, yummy!

A bakery that I’ve been to for a couple of years now. The baked goods are consistently tasty. I’m a student so the price point is right for me. I love the almond and the chocolate croissants, the tres leches in a cup, as well as a number of the hispanic breads/​cookies I’ve tried and cannot name. The sandwich bread were $ 1 – 2 for a bag and the baguette only $ 0.99, what else can you ask? It’s not an authentic French bakery but so what, the goodies are fairly priced and quality consistent.

It’s just a Central American bakery. the only thing French I saw there was a baguette. Don’t be fooled by the name!

Very good cannoli and eclairs. Good selection of cookies, cakes and breads even close to closing time. I wish they still had decaf in the coffee pot at 8:30 pm. Warning to the people who resent the Hispanic workers: they picked your vegetables and fruit, raised your food animals, slaughtered your meat, and baked your bread and deserts no matter where you eat. Be grateful.

This is a relatively new bakery, so check them out if you live in the area.
About the name: The points made by other reviewers are correct, but I don’t care that much, except that there is a subtitle on their sign explicitly saying they are French. Even so, this is just a review of the food.
Nationality of staff: Hispanic. Does it matter to me? No. I don’t speak French either. So … not too much. There is a TV. Big -. But it is in Spanish, so it doesn’t bother me if I wanted to work here. Big plus. At the end of the day this is a bakery, not a restaurant, and it doesn’t pretend to be a restaurant even if the title is misleading in other ways, so I don’t think it is too appropriate to score based on ambiance, something that matters for eat-​in restaurants.
Products: I can only speak properly about the cookies. (If I’m going to take in calories, they may was well be good-​tasting calories. So I tend to eat a lot of cookies. It is very important for me to know where I can get them. A stomach without a cookie in it is an unhappy stomach.) Currently, this place is almost my favorite. They have six types cookies: white, normal, and double chocolate; sprinkles; peanut butter; and oatmeal raisin. The prices are extremely reasonable, and they are definitely using better ingredients than safeway and giant. I think these (other) places use hydrogenated vegetable oil, rat poison, who knows what else. I think that La Baguette is using a good-​quality vegetable oil, but I didn’t ask. If they are using real butter, let me know and I will change their score to a 5. (I am guessing not based on a subtle non-​buttery aroma.) They have day old half-​price cookies @ $ 2.00/6= 33 cents per cookies. As everyone knows, that’s the heavenly number, and a strong sign you need to buy cookies now. Texture and mouth feel are to perfect IMO.
Latino products: On the left. No idea. I didn’t try them. It doesn’t bother me that they are there. If you are allergic to Hispanic food, I’d avoid the bakery. I’m not. ***IMO the owner should remove all of these products due to the reviewers (besides me) whining about these.***
Other products: They have cool items like mocha/​coffee cakes. If it were just another Latino bakery, as the other reviewers are arguing, I doubt these products would be here. Please comment if I’m wrong and I will consider adjusting my ranking. SCORE IF PARTIAL STARS WERE ALLOWED: 4.5÷5.

Went here the other day after eating at the Chinese Restaurant next door. Figure it would be a nice treat after dinner. First off I was totally thrown off from the moment I walked into the door. I was greeted to Hispanic music playing and a big screen TV behind the counter on some Hispanic channel. From the name outside I wasn’t expecting it to be a Hispanic bakery. Anyways I was actually intrigued by wanting to try something different and the fact that prices were SUPER cheap. Some pastry were 3 for $ 1, cookies 2 for $ 1, and bread 3 for $ 1 (don’t know how they make money). Even though the staff working behind the counter didn’t speak much English, they managed to help me the best they could while still being very friendly. All in all I ended up buying couple of things, $ 2 worth of bread, and a cup of coffee.
I had this cream custard danish that was topped with shredded coconut and it was ok. Also tried chocolate chocolate chip cookie and white Macedonian chip cookie which was good. The cup of coffee tasted the same as the one I make at home. Next time I am in the area I will have to try some other things I didn’t buy. For my first time in a Hispanic café I had a good experience. They had a lot of different selection and prices where cheap.
If I could I would have given this place a 2.5 star. Not a bad place but also nothing that really wow me.

Like some Unilocalers here, I was misled by the name, but it was okay since they sell cake by the slice. My family stop by this shop after eating lunch at Ren’s and I wanted something sweet after eating the salty ramen. I had the fruit cake, my husband had the mocha and my son had the chocolate cake. The word that I would use to describe my cake is that it is very juicy. I think the fruits that they used to fill the center layer icing of the cake came from a can. The cake texture was good although it got too sweet toward the end. It would have been nice if they sell espresso-​based drinks. They only sell brewed coffee. The lady that took care of us was very nice.

This is not the french bakery you’re looking for.
I only walked in because I thought it was one. That said the Latin breads were great and was greeted with a smile. I have zero problems with what was served there and since I have a massive sweet tooth I got the dulce de leche pudding (which was damn huge btw) and it was solid. Not the best I ever had but it was solid considering how cheap it was. For a latino bakery shop it’s solid.
While the ladies there were very friendly and helpful by making sense of my terrible Spanish I can’t ignore the elephant in the room. This isn’t a french bakery.
I’d give it ²¹⁄₂ stars if I could.

Be warned this is far from a French bakery. It is Hispanic with a French name and sign. It even has the Flag of France on its sign. Pastries and food are trash. I didn’t even bother to try the coffee as it looked like it came from a standard coffee maker with crap coffee can next to it.

This place is essentially a Mexican bakery camouflaged as a French bakery. You walk in, and it’s a lot of central american type pastries, and not a whole lot of french food. Everyone behind the counter was hispanic, latin music was playing, and they were all speaking spanish.
I grew up in a hispanic state/​community, so I have no problem with the culture, and love the food. But for a place to have an Eiffel Tower in the window and a name of «La Baguette De Paris,» it isn’t terribly French, in my opinion, and wasn’t what I expected.

We were looking for a good bakery to get a ready made cake for my cousin. The name of the bakery is what drew us in. Cute little bakery. A bit misleading name. Should’ve read the reviews before we went. Everything LOOKED delish. The taste of the cannoli was kinda blah. The cake we bought was really cute with its box. The taste was ok. They got the presentation down. Now they should focus on improving the taste. Service was good though.

Great little latino bakery! Highly recommend the tres leches in a cup. Don’t let the name fool you, it is not french. However, if fantastic value (two medium sized cookies for a $ 1) and nice treats are what you are after this is the place. Plus, the latino styled cakes loik amazing. Very clean and staff helpful despite the language barrier.

I popped back in here today on my way home to grab a quick snack. This time, I bypassed the baguettes and went for one of the sweet breads — much better than my first experience here. I got a cinnamon sweet bread that was pretty darn good. Wish I remembered what it was called…
I also got a sweet bread with a biscuit topping and a raspberry jam that was dry and altogether not thrilling. So this is still a hit or miss for me.

Review: Why all the vitrol for this mis-​labeled panaderia? Ok, I get that the name is misleading but why not just review the food? The baked goods here are good, not excellent, but definitely good. 3.5 stars.
Cost: Cheap! For example, 50 cents for their large saucer sized cookies (nice and soft!). Apparently, tax is included in the price listed so when the cookie sign says 50 cents, it is 50 cents.
Service: They do not speak french — ha! Spanish is the standard but you can get by on English.
Note: Parking is horrible in the front. There is parking in the back that is easier to access.

Not French in the slightest so don’t get a baguette, but still the Latino influenced breads are delicious!

Another mislabeled flop in wheaton. Deb got it exactly right. If you are looking for some «latin» style bread this is the spot to go to. However, if you are looking to get a taste of France, I suggest you google it as this place will be very disappointing. I’m bummed as I was really looking forward to having a French Bakery. Oh and u might want to bring your English/​Spanish book if you want to know what you are ordering. Would it be to much to ask that the name of the place not be misleading? Bleh…

This would be make more sense being called El Baguette as its a latino bakery and not french. It was cute inside. I got 2 cupcakes and a cup of tres leche concoction with whipped cream «icing» on top. All went to the trash. Nuff said.

I’m not sure why this shop is named after French Bread. Baguette’s are not a focus of this bakery. I tried a baguette, and found it hard, and tasteless. I am not a Wheaton expert, but I sense this will name will continue to make people feel like they were mislead when they come in the door.
That said, this bakery is filled with beautiful cakes pastries of all kinds, focused on cakes with Latino Origin.
I’d like to go back and try a cake, and if I do, I promise to update this review.

Lots of nice looking cakes do not seem uniquely French, Did not see a king cake, Larger selection of Latin American breads.
And one Light fluffy Type of Baguette With an Eggshell crust.
Nothing has the fine fluffy layers like the traditional French pastries
