Discovering Delight: Paris Baguette in Fresno
Nestled in a bustling shopping center off Blackstone and Nees in north Fresno, Paris Baguette is a culinary gem that’s quickly winning hearts with its irresistible array of sweet and savory offerings. Since opening its doors less than two months ago, this French-Korean bakery has become a local favorite for good reason.
Sweet Temptations Await
From the moment you step inside, a symphony of aromas beckons you to indulge. According to General Manager Christina Smith, “Our fruit pastries are our most popular pastry.” Here, fresh fruit-filled delights are just the beginning. Guests can also enjoy cereal-topped mochi donuts that have kids giggling and adults swooning alike.
A Varied Menu to Tempt Every Palate
The menu doesn’t stop at pastries. Immerse yourself in a world of freshly baked baguettes, appealing savory pastries, hearty sandwiches, and refreshing salads. Smith notes, “The kids love the mochi doughnuts, and it’s hilarious to see how much joy they bring. Adults tend to lean towards our savory options, such as the crab croquette and curry croquette, which are some of our bestsellers.”
Easy Ordering: Grab and Go
Ordering couldn’t be simpler. Just grab a tray and tongs, select your favorites, and head to the register. Whether you choose to grab-and-go or enjoy your selection in the cozy café atmosphere, Paris Baguette ensures a delightful experience for all.
Commitment to Freshness and Community
At the heart of Paris Baguette lies a passion for fresh ingredients and a deep commitment to the community. Smith shares, “It’s all about fresh ingredients and bringing the community together.” Notably, any unsold products at the end of the day are generously donated to local charities, thanks to a partnership with the Fresno Food Bank.
An Exciting Future Ahead
Despite its recent opening, Paris Baguette has already exceeded sales expectations. “We are hiring and striving to keep up with the enthusiastic pace set by the community,” Smith adds. With the café generating 70 new jobs and plans for more locations in Visalia and Modesto, the bakery is making a significant impact on the local economy.
Looking Ahead
By spring 2026, plans are underway for additional cafés to open in the El Paseo Shopping Center and Clovis, paving the way for even more opportunities for the community. Paris Baguette is not just a bakery; it’s a place where flavor meets community spirit.
