Oh, darlings, gather ‘round because today, I’m taking you on a culinary journey to one of my new favorites just outside Disney – Paris Baguette in Winter Garden, Florida. Now, I know what you’re thinking: “A French bakery? In Florida?” But trust me, this place is a gem, and I’m here to spill the royal tea about why it’s one of the best spots to grab a quick bite, indulge in a pastry, or sip on the most satisfying coffee while enjoying the relaxing ambiance. So let me take you through my Saucy experience, and why this little bakery is making waves in the neighborhood.
From the moment you step inside Paris Baguette, you’re greeted with the most inviting and warm ambiance. The cozy atmosphere, with its soft lighting and deliciously fragrant air, welcomes you like a hug from the inside. It’s the kind of place you can spend hours sipping coffee, reading your favorite book, or chatting with a friend – it feels like you’re in a little slice of Paris without the long flight.
Now, if you’re wondering where this cozy corner of Paris Baguette is located, it’s tucked away in the heart of Winter Garden, just a short drive from Disney. As much as I love the bustling energy of Disney Springs, sometimes a little peaceful getaway is just what the Saucy Queen needs. And let me tell you, this bakery offers the perfect balance of quiet charm and delicious temptation.
Let’s talk about the coffee, shall we? My King says, it’s divine.
My King doesn’t take his coffee lightly, darlings. You know him, he’s picky about the quality and flavor of his brew. But Paris Baguette? They’ve got it right. He tried their house coffee, and he’ll tell you this: it’s smooth, rich, and packs just the right amount of punch. Whether you prefer it black, with a splash of cream, or a little sprinkle of sugar, this coffee is simply delightful. Every sip makes you feel like you’re in a chic Parisian café, and the best part? They serve it hot and fresh every time.
For the coffee connoisseur, this is a place you’ll want to add to your list. And the best part? Jamie tell’s us it pairs perfectly with their pastries – but I’ll get to that in a moment.
Let’s move on to the food, because that’s really what we’re here for, right?
If you’ve ever craved the perfect holiday sandwich but didn’t want to wait until Thanksgiving to indulge, then Paris Baguette’s Chicken and Cranberry Sandwich is a must-try. And I say that with the royal stamp of approval. This sandwich is simple yet so satisfying – the perfect balance of savory chicken, tangy cranberry sauce, and a soft, fresh baguette that’s just the right amount of chewy. It’s like biting into Thanksgiving, but without the fuss of cooking. And let me tell you, the chicken is juicy – no dry chicken here, thank you very much!
Every bite of that sandwich just screams comfort. It’s hearty, flavorful, and perfectly balanced – just the way a sandwich should be. I must admit, I’ve had this one more than once, and it’s become one of my go-to orders when I’m craving something filling and satisfying.
Now, let’s talk about the real showstoppers: the pastries. You know I have a weakness for a good pastry, and Paris Baguette’s offerings did not disappoint. I had the pleasure of sampling their strawberry and raspberry pastries, and honestly, I wish I could take the entire bakery home with me.
The flavors? Oh, darling, they are divine. Fresh strawberries and raspberries, paired with just the right amount of sweetness in a flaky, buttery pastry shell. Every bite is like biting into a little piece of heaven. It’s like they’ve taken the freshest fruit and wrapped it in magic. And the best part? It’s not overwhelmingly sweet. The balance is perfect. It’s the kind of pastry you’d want to enjoy with your morning cup of tea, and trust me, you’ll be back for more. These pastries are so fresh, you’ll wonder why you ever bothered with anything else.
Whether you’re sitting inside at one of their cozy tables or enjoying the Florida sunshine on the outdoor patio, Paris Baguette offers a laid-back environment that makes every meal feel special. I highly recommend taking a seat outside if the weather permits – it’s such a pleasant spot to people-watch while sipping your coffee and nibbling on a sandwich or pastry. It’s the perfect way to unwind after a busy morning of shopping or sightseeing.
And don’t forget, they serve a variety of beverages to pair with your meal – from iced teas to indulgent smoothies. Whether you want a light refreshment or a richer treat to complement your meal, they’ve got you covered. If you’re in the mood for something a bit more festive, their specialty drinks and sweet pastries also make this the perfect spot for a quick holiday treat.
Now, before I wrap up my review, I do want to mention a small disappointment – and I’m not one to usually dwell on negatives, but this is worth noting. When I found out that Paris Baguette is open on Thanksgiving and Christmas Day, I felt a little saddened. Yes, it’s great to have a place to grab a bite when you’re in the mood for something delicious, but I truly believe that some days – especially holidays – should be reserved for family and quality time together. While I’m sure their offerings are fantastic on those days, I think it would be lovely if they closed just to allow staff to spend some time with their loved ones too.
Paris Baguette in Winter Garden gets a resounding 9/10 from me. My king thought the coffee was great, the sandwiches are satisfying, and the pastries are absolutely delicious. It’s the perfect spot for a casual, cozy bite – whether you’re on the go or looking for a little relaxation. The atmosphere is charming, and the service is friendly and attentive, making it an ideal stop after a busy day at Disney or shopping in the area.
Until next time, my friends! 💋
Stay saucy, Saucy Meal Queen
