I Tried All the Pumpkin and Maple Treats from Paris Baguette's Fall Menu

Fall has officially arrived at Paris Baguette with their new limited-edition fall menu. Available now through December 2 at stores nationwide, the new items feature pumpkin and maple flavors that will have you that much more excited for the season. Here’s what order, fall-long freebie deals and my review of the Paris Baguette fall menu.

What is Paris Baguette?

Paris Baguette may sound like a bakery you'd find in, well, Paris, but the neighborhood bakery-café chain has been serving up handcrafted pastries, sandwiches and specialty drinks around the world since 1988.

“The flavors of fall evoke incredible enthusiasm amongst our guests, and each year, we strive to elevate our menu of seasonal must-haves," said Cathy Chavenet, Chief Marketing Officer of Paris Baguette North America in a press release.

My review of the Paris Baguette fall menu

With so many offerings, I had to focus my taste test on the new seasonal food items. My order contained most of the pumpkin and maple flavored desserts.

While I normally don’t love pumpkin-flavored desserts, I knew I had to start with the (giant) Pumpkin King Cream Donut. The donut was pillowy soft and reminded me almost of brioche bread, while the pumpkin custard filling was rich and slightly on the sweeter side. As for the Pumpkin Danish, the pastry was flaky and light, though my thoughts on the filling remained the same as with the donut.

Next up, the Maple Pecan Layer Cake. It smelled strongly of maple syrup, while the layers of vanilla sponge were fluffy and moist. I also enjoyed the pecan pieces scattered throughout. However, the slice was frosting heavy and leaned a bit too sweet for me. The Maple Pecan Tart, had an amazing buttery and crispy crust. The pecans were crunchy and had a subtle sweetness that wasn’t overwhelming.

As a huge chocoholic, I give the Cookies & Cream Mochi Donut and the Chocolate Chip Scone the high scores of my tasting. This was my first mochi donut ever, and it was far chewier and sweeter than a regular donut. I loved every bite of it, save for the oil remnants on my fingers. Additionally, the scone was anything but dry, crumbled nicely and had the perfect amount of chocolate chips. The sugar topping added a crunch, however I would have preferred the scone without it.
