Yes!  A pet topic of mine!

Their Cafe Mocha is very good for the price and what - 2000 / 2500 less than the same in Starbutts or Coffee Bean.

The pastries with the hot dog sausage (Sorry N.Americans those are not 'sausages') and cheese and ketchup are a good snack when heated (Tae wha juseyo.)

The things that are bread with cheese and ham inside.  Only about 50% of PB's do those though and my local one doesn't :(

Same goes for the cheese ham and egg English Muffin, my local doesn't do it but the larger ones do.

The Very thin potato pizza has a good tomatoey sauce and isn't doughy enough to make you all bloated.

The cookies are ace and I like the blueberry jam n cream cheese Danish also.

The real trick to enjoying PB snacks is being a regular enough customer for them to finally realise that 10 secs in  microwave on defrost will NOT heat up a savory snack.  Only took me about 6 months of keeping taking food back and asking for it hotter and for the past 3 months actually wriing down how to put a snack on reheat or high for around 40 seconds.  About a month ago they finally got it and I never have to take anything back to be reheated several times anymore!!!

Glutinous rice donut with cream cheese.  A heart attack but delicious.
C is for cookie, that's good enough for me.

My favorite item is the manager's check-list for stocking the entire inventory.

My least favorite item is the manager's check-list in choosing music and making hires.

You like that? I tried that chicken curry thing recently... it was a grease ball. That was the flavor.

Favorite: That bun with the walnut cream cheese is my absolute favorite.  It's only there about 60% of the time, though.  They go fast.  If they are not there, I resort to the muffins.

Least Favorite: well, I've never actually eaten those room-temperature hot-dog/cheese/tomato-sauce/bread thingies, but if they taste as like they look.....

I like the cream puff balls. I think they are 500 won for 1. Pretty tasty.

Yes, what a load of..... If only Korea had truly good bakeries that supplied real bread.

Though I really do like that Danish pastry bread loaf. The crust is really goooooodddd with ice-cream, and I have demolished half-loaves after a few drinks in one go.

Tuna club sandwich is amazing. OH-MY-WORD.

I love the fruit/cream filled croissants as well.

Least favourite... anything they fry (too greasy)

Chocolate Ganache? It's very rich, creamy and melts if done correctly. I haven't seen a PB with one yet.

I like their pizza bread-thing with the sausage, chicken/vege croquette (have to heat this and let the oil seep out though), bread filled with custard...  ;D

I don't like their actual 'bread' products. Bread loaves are more along the lines of sugary dessert loaves, those little bags filled with buns are also bundles of sugar. Their garlic bread sticks are baguettes with Eau de garlic sprayed on them and sprinkled with sugar. Seriously, the SUGAR.  :'(

The smaller bakeries often do the same things just as well, and cheaper. Of course you have to find them, but there's one right across from the PB in front of my apartment so usually i'll head there.

My favorite is the sweet milk roll, although I've noticed that it seems like most Paris Baguettes usually don't carry it, for some reason. There was a Paris Baguette near my old school that used to have it and so I'd get it there all the time, until they evidently stopped making it one day, finally. I also like the cream cheese walnut bread, the potato and cheese bread, and those buns with cream filling (it usually comes in a pack of 6). As for least favorite, I guess any of the stuff with ham in it, since I don't like ham.

I like the really really thin parmesan pizza thing.

But Paris Baguette is pretty bad- Paris Croissant is the real deal, especially the one in Sorae Maeul (the French area)- they make their sandwiches different than the others. But all locations are good, way better than PB.
