Paris Bakery
Welcome to the story of Paris Bakery, where family, tradition, and taste come together.
Roots of Paris Bakery
In 2008, our tight-knit family founded Paris Bakery with a bold vision: to bring the vibrant, soulful flavors of Vietnamese banh mi and French pastries to San Diego.
​
Drawing inspiration from our heritage, we infused each sandwich and croissant with a deep love for tradition, crafting a unique fusion that celebrates the essence of both cultures.
We began with a humble dream in a small shop on El Cajon Blvd, in the heart of Little Saigon San Diego, and it didn’t take long for us to become a local favorite, as San Diegans embraced the warmth and authenticity of our food. This was just the beginning of our journey to share our family’s passion with the community.

A Journey Through Time

Paris Bakery opens in San Diego
Nestled in the heart of Little Saigon San Diego, our Banh Mi Paris Bakery was born, bringing the authentic flavors of French and Vietnamese Banh Mi to the community. Our first shop at 4481 El Cajon Blvd opened its doors, welcoming locals to savor freshly baked baguettes, croissants, and delicious banh mi.
