Columbus, we have a new option for sweets! The first Columbus location of Paris Baguette, a South Korea-based chain that opened in Easton last month.

It’s taking over the former LemonShark Poke & Makai Grill, which closed in early 2022, turning it into a light and airy space decorated in blue and white.

The Paris Baguette is reminiscent of local bakery favorite Belle’s Bread or Tous les Jours, another South Korean-based chain that offers boxes full of sweet and savory pastries. You just grab a tray and a pair of tongs, then load up!

The fun thing about these bakeries is that you can load up a tray full or just try a few things and you’ll find something for everyone, from donuts…

…to croissants.

Some cakes are served cold and others are kept warm on the shelves. This goes for many of the savory tarts and croissants.

We found a mix that includes mochi donuts, custard donuts, chocolate or fruit tarts.

I loved this very rich ham and cheese croissant.

And croissant doughnuts, like this one loaded with coffee pastry cream.

And these pretty little fruit cakes.

And that’s just scratching the surface! More sweets are constantly loaded. And they include prepared sandwiches, pastries and a full coffee and tea bar.

Paris Baguette is said to be eyeing more locations in Columbus, including one near Ohio State’s campus!

Paris Baguette is currently open daily from 7am to 10pm
