Paul Bakery & Cafe

Restaurant Cafe Bakery French restaurant

👍👍 The coffee and food here is great. However, they do not serve the bread basket like they do in Dubai. The prices are very reasonable and the menu is extensive. It is right next door to Ala Rahi. People often mention coffee, good, breakfast, service, visit, experience, Chicken, bread, Paul, great,

    Getting food delivered from Paul's Bakery & Cafe was a good experience.ordered Pesto Chicken Sandwich and the bread,s taste was quite different and delicious. Then on the day of my life partner's birthday, we went to Paul backery and cafe for dinner. Valllet parking was well managed by Paul Cafe. We had to wait for five minutes and got seated. Tables are placed closed, probably due to limited space. We ordered the baked feta in starter which was the best in my opinion. The combination of both the cheese and the bread in it made a wonderful taste. The beef burger was good and the herb crusted fish was excellent. But I love their Pesto Chicken Sandwich. lastly their Parmesan Crumbed Chicken was not good. Paul’s is a place where you can have delicious food.

    I'm a Paul fan! Used to go to the outlets in Dubai frequently. Must say the vibe is very much the same in Karachi. Good service and menu. Priced similar to other cafes of the same level. It was a rainy day so the road outside was quite messy. Parking was also an issue. Food and drinks were excellent. But the flies were very irritating, the management should install some devices to keep flies out of the cafe, it's not good for an eatery!

    So, the belief that we had possibly explored all kinds of eateries in Karachi compelled us to reach out to a friend for some new suggestions. My husband and I ended up taking a detour to Paul's for a cozy little dinner date (I have tried Paul's in Dubai for breakfast only so thought to give the dinner menu a try too here). We were greeted warmly by Stanley who was one of the most courteous and well-versed person we had ever come across. He relayed the menu expertly and suggested us according to our tastes. From Tiger Prawns to Fish, Parmesan Chicken to the wide array of desserts, everything was on point and cooked and seasoned to perfection. Despite not being a huge fan of fish, I ended up enjoying each bite. Definitely worth every penny we spent.

    Excellent place for breakfast. They have limited space but the staff is efficient enough to handle influx. Food is really good, we tried their three cheese omlette (which is highly recommended) Mediterranean omlette 9/10, Alfredo pasta 9/10, Oreo shake, loaded fries, latte... Everything was worth the price. The owner have us complementary sweets which had tarts, eclairs and a bite size brownie which were all sooo yumm. Overall it's a must try. Total spent 2100 per person.

    Ordered beef steak and lemon shrimp spaghetti. Both dishes were quite bland. Service too slow, waiters uninterested. Poor experience!

  • 3/5 Eerab A. 1 year ago on Google
    We tried this overhyped place for breakfast couple of days ago. The breakfast was good enough. Ordered Mediterranean and Pakistani omelette, scrambled eggs and French toast. They even sampled their margarita pizza and garlic bread. Which had a very soft and were properly baked. But they need to realize that the breakfast game of most restaurants in that area is very strong and nothing less than extraordinary would work from when Cafe Praha is around. Haven't tried their main course yet. Tried it again today. Ordered steak and eggs. Steak was well done and chewy. Had to swallow it. No concept of butter and jam with the breakfast. Probably the are good for coffee and bakery items only

    Visited Paul Bakery and Cafe in Karachi. It is a great brunch spot. The waiter who was serving us was very welcoming and friendly. Great coffee and delicious and fresh desserts. They also have a nice outdoor seating area. Loved it.

    It's been on my list since it came to Pakistan and finally get there. First of all the ambiance is really French, Good and decent place to sit. Now coming to the menu they have soups, really nice starters, amazing Salads, Paul signature Sandwiches, Pastas, decent Main Courses, breakfast options in Savoury and sweet 😋😀 and why not all the croissants specially the pain Au chocolate, then dessert one of the best cheese cake I have tried anywhere in Pakiatan and offcourse there coffees freshly brewed. I have tried there Ice latte really nice and there is a fresh bean kick to it, then there Smoke Chicken sandwich in multigrain Bread best 👌 so a must visit place if you haven't been there peeps! Keep fooding!!!!!!

  • 3/5 Subia F. 2 years ago on Google
    Overall a slightly above average experience. The appetiser came with the food, the drinks came a little later. Service was sluggish, even though there were hardly 4 tables. Give them the benefit of doubt as dine out has recently opened up. Food was good. Liked the burger and the smoked chicken sandwich. The affagato was creamy, however there weren't any fresh juices. The baked cheesecake was nice and classic. Asked them to write a message on it, which they nicely wrote with a larger dish to fit it in. Do try it out once. The outdoor dining was comfortable, the weather was also pleasant however a slight umbrella incident wa observed due to the breeze, but the team managed it well.

    17Apr22, I miss the days of Arizona grill and roosters. They just nailed their steaks and we're super affordable. Although Paul's steaks aren't bad but they aren't super either. 30April22, parmesan chicken, beef burger, mushroom cheese balls and beef steak sandwich were amazing along with two separate sweet dishes all coated roughly 6800/-. It's a bargain for what your getting to eat.

    Yeah you would hear about this place being extremely fancy. But I think it's not something to be boasting about everywhere. The food is satisfactory. The service was filled with too much hassle I feel. I didn't feel I was at a place where fresh baked bread was being served. Ticked it off my list might not go back

    Went there for a quick bite. I forgot to take pics of the food but whatever we ordered was really good. I just took out the pic of my coffee ☕️ and it was amazing. Overall, I'll give this place a 4/5.

    A very relaxing indoor dining experience. Visited PAUL’s for tea and coffee but ended up dining as well. The restaurant is not overcrowded and all their servers wore masks and maintained the required distance. The servers were very courteous and continuously checked-in with us to ensure we were enjoying our meal. We ordered the following: 1. Cream of Mushroom and Spinach Soup Fresh and delicious I truly enjoyed it (2 servings) 2. Smoked Chicken Sandwich with Pesto Mayo Fresh bread and vegetables, chicken was tender and bursting with flavor (1 serving) 3. Grilled Vegetable Sandwich I’m a meat lover so I was not sure why I was keen on ordering this but I was truly surprised as the vegetables in the sandwich were fresh and juicy and I absolutely enjoyed this sandwich (1 serving) 4. Americano (Good) (1 serving) 5. Chocolate Tart: The chocolate Ganache in the tart was smooth and delicious however the biscuit was a bit tough to break. Not sure if that’s how a tart is supposed to be. Still enjoyed it. (1 serving) Total paid was PKR 3,500/- i’d say this is excellent value for money. Totally worth it. Our server’s name is Amir Khan he was extremely courteous I hope others have an excellent experience when they viist

    I finally got a chance to visit Paul Bakery & cade for breakfast. The menu is quite limited in variety and prices are not so average. We ordered the eggs benedict, Mediterranean omelette, lemonade, iced latte and millefeuille. All the dishes were just average, nothing out of this world. The millefeuille was just out of this world and I'm not surprised because they are famous for their bakery patisseries. I highly recommend to try all their bakery items as they are to die for. The food is too average. The ambience of the restaurant is very pleasant, both indoors and outdoors.

    The air conditioner decided it was too cool for school, leaving you to embrace the heat wave while you sip your coffee. It's a breakfast experience that'll make you sweat for your scrambled eggs!

    The Ambiance was great. The coffee was great, I ordered Vanilla Latte and A caramel Latte. Both Iced. The egg benedict had some issues. They brought steak of the wrong temperature first, I had to get it changed. Overall Nice experience, Bakery items look promising.

    The coffee and customer service were excellent, and the atmosphere was kid-friendly. I highly recommend trying the three cheese omelette; it's a must-try. However, the bread was a bit dry, but the pain au chocolat was absolutely delicious.

    Menu items were rather limited & wait time was extraordinarily long! Coffee was cold with too much sugar. Waiters seemed uninterested in taking orders or were overburdened and extra ordinary effort was needed to gain their attention. Ordered multiple desserts that were good & fresh though.

  • 3/5 Khalid K. 1 year ago on Google
    Ordered a steak sandwich. The presentation was great. Bread, veggies and flavor was great. BUT beef was chewy and difficult to eat. So they have to select the correct beef cut to make the sandwich palatable

  • 3/5 Zulfiqar Ali Z. 1 year ago on Google
    First visit, had cuppacino and a coffee éclair. Had a long chat with the barista before ordering the coffee about specifics and the beans they use. Here's my take: *Service: Excellent *Staff attitude : helpful and professional *Competence in preparing coffee : worst than a roadside vendor. The cuppacino tasted like milk with mild flavouring of coffee, they were kind to replace it immediately and get me a different order, this time a double shot espresso. It was a vast improvement over the cuppacino but the coffee lacked aroma and flavour - my wild guess is that the beans may not have been fresh. *patisserie: the coffee éclair was nice, just the right amount of sweet balanced with body of chocolaty cream and coffee cream icing.

  • 4/5 Arslan M. 1 year ago on Google
    Really liked the coffee's taste and serving size although the new York style cheesecake wasn't up to mark. The one I had in US, even from Denny's is like you eat one piece it's huge AF and very filling, thick and flavourful. Maybe they can work on the recipe for that. Although the place is usually quite packed so it can be pretty noisy at times so you'd have to find a good time to come or call and book the table in advance if they have such an option.

  • 3/5 Waleed K. 2 years ago on Google
    Ordered mocha it was very bitter. They have a good vibe overall but it can get too loud as too many people visit this place. The service is very slow they make things fresh however it should never be the case in a good coffee shop/ bistro. I waited for a good while. I had to change my order since the danish was out of stock. First impressions are not very good the tables very crooked rocking left and right dropping coffee on the table. Very unlikely i will revisit willingly.

    Paid visit during ramadan. They have well behaved staff and ambience is fine. Food was just okay. Sandwich was so dry and bread was so hard that a friend even broke his fake tooth partially (lol). I won't visit this place again. They do not even offer sandwich for breakfast. Coffee was average. Anyway, ther is only one restroom which was mostly occupied by ther workers and customers were waiting.

    Paul's Cafe has a warm ambiance and exceptional staff, notably Zeeshan Bhai, who ensures a personalized touch to the service. The hot chocolate is a standout – rich and flavourful, it elevates the cafe experience. Paul's Cafe strikes the perfect balance, offering a delightful blend of atmosphere, service, and superb coffee, making it a must-visit destination.
