About

Paillard operates as a high-volume bakery and café that specializes in traditional French artisanal techniques. The menu features an extensive selection of crusty baguettes, flaky croissants, and buttery pastries baked on-site throughout the day. Substantial sandwiches are crafted using house-made breads, frequently paired with hearty soups and crisp salads. The interior design emphasizes an industrial-chic aesthetic with high ceilings, exposed brick walls, and long communal tables designed for efficiency and rapid throughput. Guests order at a central counter where glass cases display an array of colorful macarons, tarts, and dense chocolate desserts. This establishment prioritizes the rapid production of quality wheat-based products within a bustling and utilitarian setting. It remains a central destination for those seeking authentic European-style baked goods served in a streamlined, self-service environment.

Its ok... coffee is great but its nespresso .... if u r far... dont walk over especially for this... not worth it... Servers are tired & not in the best mood. Mid price range...we tried a Pecan tart, almond croissant filled with chocolate & madeline with nutella on it. The sitting area needs a good clean...

Stopped in for an early breakfast & couldn't resist going back again the following morning. Freshly made egg & cheese sandwich on toasted croissant was my favorite.

I had one of this shop's pastries pretty late in the evening-about 30 minutes before closing-but the quality wasn't too bad. That said, they didn't seem all that great to begin with. Despite it being near closing time, there were still a ton of pastries left. The woman who took my order looked pretty unhappy & served me with a sour expression. Overall, it wasn't a great experience.
