"At Paris Baguette, caramel macchiatos are poured with double espresso, steamed milk, vanilla syrup, and caramel sauce. Similar to a latte, macchiatos are supposed to offer a coffee drink that delivers creaminess from milk, flavor from coffee, and a texturally satisfying crown of milk that has been foamed to perfection. Unfortunately, our writer didn't detect much caramel in the drink, and the bit of vanilla inserted into the recipe required a keen palate to detect."
"In addition to an overall disappointing tasting experience, the texture of the drink was thin, if not watery. Despite the double shot claimed to be used to make this drink, the flavor of espresso was far too absent to be notable. "Their caramel macchiato was more caramel than macchiato but I still enjoyed it," noted one visitor on Instagram. Another reviewer on Eaten described the drink as "a tad sweet but eminently drinkable.""
Paris Baguette started in 1945 in South Korea with the aim of centering the neighborhood café and bakery as a community hub. The brand now offers French-inspired drinks and treats across many locations. A tasting of a dozen hot beverages placed the caramel macchiato near the bottom of the list. The drink is prepared with double espresso, steamed milk, vanilla syrup, and caramel sauce, yet the caramel and vanilla were barely detectable. The texture registered as thin or watery, and espresso flavor was largely absent. Customer opinions vary, with some finding it sweeter but still drinkable.
