Reviews for PAUL in McLean, VA
Ohhhhhhhhh my how delicious the pastries were. It?s a very posh place and the prices to match. We loved everything, but the... service could improve especially for the place like that. Thank you for the delicious pastries. I can?t wait to get back to Paulfor napoleon and large size macaroons ?????? Read more
Delicious food at reasonable price. Would recommend chocolate almond croissant and eclair.
Great Bakery and more. The Bakery is outstanding and popular. In addition to sweets there are sandwiches and there is a... breakfast menu. Affordable and casual. Seating inside the restaurant and just outside the restaurant within the mall. Enjoy! Read more
I ordered the strawberry and blueberry fruit tart and the almond croissant. Both were very visually appealing however they fell... short in terms of taste. The tart had a very hard thick crust and was hard to cut. barely any custard and the custard that wasthere was very lumpy and flavorless, but the berries and glaze were good. The almond croissant was not crispy and the fillingwas lacking flavor. I?ve honestly had Panera bread ones that were 10x better. $20 dollars for one mini tart and 2 almondcroissants is pretty ridiculous considering the quality. Staff were friendly and got thru the line quickly. Read more
A nice place in Tyson's Galleria to have a breakfast, brunch, or a light meal such as a salad or a sandwich. There are some... seats inside and also some chairs and small tables outside. We had a Cheese Danish Croissant; delicious, and an AlmondCroissant; I've never had a croissant this delicious, it was phenomenal! We also ordered a large Cappuccino and a large CafeLatte. Both of them could be better! I'll go there again? Sure but I'll try their other coffee drinks. Read more
I came here with a friend and we ordered two lattes with oat milk and a couple pastries. Very simply, we encountered rude... workers and experienced terrible, chaotic service. Workers weren?t dismissive at first. Instead they seemed overwhelmed with therush of customers, so I can offer my sympathies there. Upon sitting down and opening the pastry box, one of the tarts had a verydistinguishable finger smudge in it? marked this as an honest mistake (picture below), but nevertheless it immediately left bothof us with a foul taste in our mouths. After waiting 15 minutes we never ended up hearing our names called for the drinks. Atthis point the rush had died down. My friend goes up to ask the worker if they?d been made, and the worker flippantly tells herthat we should?ve been assigned a table number? ours, apparently, was 18, though we hadn?t been informed of this? and that ourdrinks weren?t ready. No other tables around us had table numbers and we weren?t informed prior of how this system worked. Afterwaiting a couple more minutes, and seeing other customers who ordered after us getting their drinks, both of us went up again.The worker looked exasperated and he said that they?d called our names out already, despite the previous worker telling us ourdrinks were not yet ready (or simply not caring to explain anything other than the confusing table number assignment), and askedus what?d we?d ordered, after which his peer? the individual who previously told us about our table number? began making ourdrinks. He asked us if they were just regular lattes, and we said we both specified oat milk. Luckily, the espresso bar here isexposed and we, the customer, can see how the drinks are being made. So we watch as his peer makes them both with regular milk,not oat, to a scalding 170 degrees, give or take? at least hot enough to scald your tastebuds off. Never mind paying extra forthe milk; I have a severe milk allergy and could have paid a hefty medical fee if I drank Read more
Please open one in New York! I first had Paul?s baguette sandwich when I was in Paris. Best baguette ever - crispy outside,... tender and moist inside - it tastes perfect simply with ham and cheese. When I ran into this spot while visiting DC, I was soexcited and went there two days in a row. Wish there?s one in NYC. Read more
