Locals are calling this little bakery an absolute gem, and after reading through the reviews (and tasting a few favorites myself), it’s easy to see why.
Pastries Worth Every Bite
This isn’t your average pastry case - it’s filled with buttery, flaky, European-style treats that people can’t stop talking about. Some favorites to put on your must-try list:
-
Blueberry Lemon Croissant – a bright, fruity twist on a classic that pairs perfectly with coffee.
-
Raspberry Pistachio Croissant – layered with rich flavor and a pastry cream that reviewers describe as “spot on, rich but light.”
-
Baklava Pistachio Cheesecake – a genius mash-up of two iconic desserts, creamy with just the right crunch.
-
Napoleon Cake – flaky phyllo and dreamy cream layers that melt in your mouth.
-
Honey Cake – spongy, soft, and delicately sweet with a Tres Leches-style influence.
-
Bombolinis (when you can snag them before they sell out!) – pillowy Italian-style doughnuts that are worth the early visit.
Why You’ll Want to Visit
Paul & Jack isn’t just a bakery, it’s an experience, and another is coming to Cary soon! The atmosphere is welcoming, and the pastries are top-shelf.
Local tip: Go early in the day if you’ve got your heart set on something specific. Their most popular pastries sell out fast, and you won’t want to miss them!
