MAISON DE PB by Paris Baguette Jewel Review
Maison De PB by Paris Baguette has become a culinary landmark at Jewel Changi, blending French patisserie techniques with Korean innovation. Renowned for its artisanal breads, decadent cakes, and Instagram-worthy desserts, this café attracts travellers, locals, and food enthusiasts alike. In this guide, we explore everything from must-try items to insider ordering strategies, ensuring you savour the best of Maison De PB’s offerings.
Why Maison De PB Stands Out at Jewel Changi
Fusion of French Technique & Korean Flair
As part of South Korea’s Paris Baguette empire (3,700+ outlets globally), Maison De PB elevates classic recipes with Asian-inspired twists. Think matcha croissants, red bean danishes, and yuzu-infused tarts. The Jewel Changi branch, opened in 2023, emphasises premium ingredients like AOP-certified French butter and Valrhona chocolate.
Prime Location & Foot Traffic
Situated near Jewel’s iconic Rain Vortex, the café serves 500+ daily customers. Peak hours (10 AM–12 PM, 3 PM–6 PM) see queues, but turnover is swift, with average wait times under 15 minutes.
