There’s a pretty famous line from 30 Rock where Liz Lemon (Tina Fey) says “What a week, huh?” and Jack Donaghy (Alec Baldwin) answers, “Lemon, it’s Wednesday.” Well, Paris Baguette is flipping the script on that one, because Wednesdays are for lemons this Summer. Also every day of the week, as the citrus fruit is taking over their Summer Menu.
"Summer is a flavor-forward season here at Paris Baguette, where our team of experts loves to highlight light and refreshing flavors like lemon, mango, coconut and more," said Cathy Chavenet, Chief Marketing Officer at Paris Baguette North America, via a press release provided to Guilty Eats. "We are thrilled for our guests to try the new menu additions, from innovations like the Lemon Supreme Croissant to quenching beverages like the Mango Lemonade Refresher."
So what’s in this lemon heavy line-up? The big news only tangentially has to do with lemons, as Paris Baguette is embracing the TikTok famous round, filled “croissant” that has taken over most New York bakeries. Called a “Supreme Croissant” here, it comes with lemon curd and lemon icing, or chocolate custard and topped with chocolate.

Plenty of other, less controversially named offerings are joining the menu. There’s a Lemon Iced Mochi Donut, which is drizzled with white chocolate and sounds real good. They’ve also got a Lemon Custard King Donut filled with lemon custard, and topped with lemon icing and white chocolate. And rounding out the list is the Lemon Citrus Layer Cake with four layers of vanilla sponge, lemon curd, lemon soft cream, and topped with lemon chocolates. That’s a lot of lemon, yo!
In case you don’t like lemons, you can also pick up the new Summer Berry Trifle Cake with three layers of sponge, soft cream, strawberries and blueberries, topped with more berries and white chocolate.
The brand is also highlighting a few of its drinks, including the new – you guessed it – lemon drink, a Mango Lemonade Refresher, which is exactly what it sounds like. Coffee-wise, you can get a hot or iced Caramel Coconut Latte, or a Caramel Coconut Frozen Latte.
With all these delectable options, it’s enough to make you say “what a week!” But, you know, positively.
