For a taste of a classic French pastry, you may no longer have to pop across the water.
Well, you might, if you live north of the Thames.
Paris Baguette's first UK location at the Battersea Power Station promises to give you a French bakery cafe experience with a Korean twist worth traveling for. The restaurant, which has a significant number of global locations, believes they have perfected the quintessential blend of food and ambiance that make patisseries so iconic.
Their menu is primarily dedicated to sweet treats, especially the cakes. Their simplistic decoration and impressively smooth icing job naturally draws the eye to the case-- and depending on the size of your craving, you can purchase the entire cake, just a slice, or a prepackaged roll-cake or castella. But if your sweet tooth isn't that dominant, perhaps consider one of the smaller pastries; they have a selection of croissant-inspired sweet and savoury pastries and donuts.
And in traditional French bakery fashion, the menu also features gourmet sandwiches on fresh bread. Accompany this with one of their salads, and Paris Baguette can also provide more filling options for lunch.
One of their main draws, however, is their selection of drinks. There is an extensive amount of coffee choices on the menu, including more seasonal options like a Peppermint Mocha. But if you prefer tea, they have a series of non-caffeinated options that can help wash down your meal.
Also keep in mind that if Paris Baguette is to your liking, consider joining their rewards program. Going to pickup a coffee and a pastry is even more fulfilling when you get it for a discount-- and because the rewards are redeemable at all locations, you could even collect your points if you stop by a Paris Baguette in the United States.
