Why I Ordered This Item
I ordered the Cream Cheese Pastry because I was in the mood for something rich but not overly sweet. While looking through the pastry case at Paris Baguette, the golden, flaky pastry with its creamy center immediately caught my attention. Since Paris Baguette is known for its fresh-baked pastries, breads, cakes, sandwiches, and coffee, I expected this to be a simple pastry made with quality ingredients.
I also wanted something that would go well with a hot cup of coffee. In this review, I’ll share my honest experience with the presentation, taste, value, and whether I’d order it again.
First Impression
The Cream Cheese Pastry looked fresh and beautifully baked. It had a golden-brown crust with visible flaky layers and a generous amount of cream cheese filling in the center. The pastry looked simple, but it had the kind of bakery-fresh appearance that made it hard to resist.
It was packaged neatly and stayed in great shape during the trip home. The buttery aroma was noticeable as soon as I opened the bag, and the filling looked smooth and creamy.
The portion size felt just right for breakfast, a light snack, or an afternoon treat with coffee or tea.
What Does It Taste Like?
My first bite was a mix of crispy, flaky pastry and smooth cream cheese filling. The outer layers were light and buttery, while the inside stayed soft and tender. It tasted freshly baked and didn’t feel greasy.

The cream cheese filling was the highlight. It was rich, creamy, and slightly tangy, giving the pastry plenty of flavor without making it overly sweet. The mild tanginess balanced the buttery pastry perfectly.

I liked that the sweetness was kept under control. Instead of tasting like a dessert loaded with sugar, it felt more like a classic bakery pastry that let the cream cheese shine.
I paired it with a hot latte, and the combination worked really well. The coffee balanced the richness of the filling and made it a satisfying breakfast.
If I had one small complaint, it would be that I wished there had been a little more cream cheese in the center. The filling was delicious, and an extra spoonful would have made each bite even better.
Is It Worth the Money?
The Cream Cheese Pastry usually costs around $4.49, although prices may vary by location.
I think it’s a good value because it tastes fresh and uses quality ingredients. The buttery pastry and creamy filling feel more premium than similar pastries from many coffee chains or grocery stores.
While it isn’t the cheapest pastry on the menu, the freshness and flavor make it worth the price. I’d happily order it again for breakfast or as a snack with coffee.
