I was wanting to try this during my stay in San Diego and on my final day heading out I finally got…read moreto try it. I really enjoyed the cinnamon roll made with croissant dough and to be honest, the pain eu chocolate wasn't the freshest I've had, but I still enjoyed it OK. I wouldn't order that again, but I would definitely get the cinnamon roll again. That was one of the best ones I've had. I loved that it was made from croissant dough, which made it lighter and more flaky than most cinnamon rolls. I have high standards for croissants as I've been to France many times. :) The view that I got to enjoy these watching while sitting outside, made it such a great experience. I balanced my sweets with a cold refreshing iced Americano, and I would like to come back to try the Nutella danish. The service was great. There was a sweet girl working that helped me and allowed me to take my time looking.

I was especially happy to be greeted by Keegan and Shaw. Both individuals were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and genuinely hospitable. The selection of French pastries and drinks was impressive. I ordered the Rieme lemonade along with a couple of butter croissants, and everything was delicious. The multigrain and olive bread loaves were also very tempting and will definitely be on my list next time. Overall, the prices were very reasonable, the quality was excellent, and the experience was delightful. I'll absolutely be back

Not bad, but not the best…read more We enjoyed dinner at Sky Box and a sweet tooth came upon us. We are always looking to try new places and we haven't been here before. The shop is next to Handel's ice cream, and a hop, skip, and jump from Jimbo's. Parking is a bit outrageous but that might just be because everyone is on summer break, despite it being a Thursday at 7 PM. I'm a sucker for the plain, no-nonsense, cookies. The ones that have 1 million things going on I can't eat. So I opted for the chocolate chip oatmeal and my husband, the Yelp recommended strawberry cookie. The chocolate chip oatmeal ratio was too much chocolate chip. It almost felt like it was 80% chocolate chip and 20% oatmeal. I want to bite into that oatmeal texture and that didn't come through with this cookie. I will say that I liked the chocolate chip oatmeal much better than the strawberry white chocolate cookie. This cookie to me was awful. If you have ever grown up with eating strawberries and cream, Quaker oatmeal, this taste exactly like it. I could not even enjoy it because it brought me back. Customer service was great and answered our questions without hesitation. Cookies are reasonably priced at about five dollars.

Not to be dramatic: There's good chocolate cake, and then there's really good chocolate cake. This…read moreis the latter. This is the place to go in San Diego if you want a slice of luxury without the guilt. In short: get Le Signature, Le Noisette for a nutty flavor, and if they have it, The London Cake (think chocolate and caramel; currently obsessed with this one!!). Tip: Store cakes in a cold/cool place if not eaten immediately especially during a heatwave summer or you'll learn the hard way. Best eaten with unsweetened hot coffee. Here's the long review: Parfait Paris has been consistent with their cakes; I've been visiting them every time whenever I'm close to one for about 2 years. There are multiple locations; I've been to Carmel/Del Mar; Coronado, and Fashion Valley. I don't really stay to eat; I usually grab a couple of slices (avg price is $13/slice) and slowly savor it at home with black coffee. All I can say is that this bakery knows their flavors and textures. The bakery offers pastries, macarons, and other desserts but if you're undecided, get the cake. Esp if you love (like really love) chocolate. I've stuck to 2 cakes: Le Signature- has a light chocolate mousse filling with a shortbread crust and dark chocolate glaze. Le Noisette- an employee there once told me it was like a Ferrero Rocher but a cake version. Accurate description but so understated. The mousse filling is chef's kiss. The monthly special: The London Cake: it's definitely an upgraded version of a dark chocolate cake. Filled whipped caramel filling and chocolate cream; it was balanced and sweet but not in a way that makes your teeth scream. This is the cake that had me question all the chocolate cakes I've had in my life; and the one where I go back the next day, like literally drive the extra mile(s), to get another slice. A little bias here but I've tried the mango bliss cake in the past. Decent flavors and texture as described but not as impressed as their chocolate ones. I've had my fair share of eating lots of (chocolate) cake in SD and LA; this place is def always on my list.

It has real hazelnuts, hazelnut cream, and dark chocolate mix with hazelnut at the bottom. 10/10! And it's not too sweet either. Then I tried the savory croissant. It's a September special. Chicago croissant. Which is basically a pizza filling inside a croissant crust. It was delicious! I love the croissant crust! The staff was friendly as well!

Someone suggested sidecar donuts and I was super excited for such unique flavors! They have a happy hour on Mondays thru Thursdays from 12pm-4pm and it's advertised on a sandwich board outside. We didn't see it until after we had exited and the worker inside never mentioned it to us either :( ---- I forget what the happy hour deal was but it was along the lines of buy x donuts and get a free drink and our party in total fulfilled that requirement but purchased separately. There was only the one sign outside and as mentioned before, the employee working the front never brought it up. My bf got the maple bacon one for $5.75, I really enjoyed how much bacon there was on top. The flavors of the maple and the bacon are a classic combination and they complimented each other well without one overpowering the other. Inside the store was pretty small, and there's some seating outside. There's plenty of parking bc the lot is shared with so many other businesses. ---- Overall: donuts were creative and yummy BUT the service was lacking and unfortunately unfriendly, which soured my experience there

The girl told me…read moreabout it and my eyes lit up and I wanted it so bad, but my friend Perla said, "No, we got to go!" Not the best thing to have right before Pilates. The next time we went was after Pilates and I asked my friend if she wanted to share it and she agreed this time! I was so excited to try it! The owner was very sweet she let us try samples of the new marshmallow ice cream that they are testing out. It was so good! I ordered the sumptuous special with frozen hot chocolate. She made it aesthetically pleasing. They asked how I wanted it and I said picture perfect! Watching her make it was so fun and jaw dropping. I was in such awe! The marshmallow alone was so amazing to watch! It was so good and made with such good ingredients. I did share a bit with my friend, but boy I had basically the whole thing to myself and it was perfect. The frozen hot chocolate was bittersweet too. So it was balanced with the cookie, marshmallow, and cream. The perfect amount of sweetness for me. It was pricey, but it was worth it! Well worth it to try it at least once! I am absolutely coming back again!

OMG... these cookies did NOT disappoint…read more We ordered the "most popular" dozen to-go, and from the second we opened the box, we knew we were in trouble (in the best way). Every single cookie looked incredible -- and somehow tasted even better. Let me start with what these are not... These are NOT your typical over-the-top, overly sugary, same-tasting cookies where everything is piled high with toppings and ends up blending together. These feel like true homemade cookies -- soft, gooey, rich, and perfectly balanced. The kind that melt in your mouth and make you immediately reach for another. Favorites? Honestly, it's hard to pick: * The double chocolate was unreal * The raspberry had such a great flavor twist * The churro was unexpected and so good Every single one had its own unique flavor, and nothing felt repetitive. And let's just say... this box disappeared fast. I also love that this is a smaller, mom-and-pop style shop. You can taste the quality and care in what they're making. We ordered delivery, which was super convenient, and I'm so glad we did. Hands down, this is a place I'll be ordering from again and again. If you're debating it -- just do it. Five stars all the way.

I decided to have brunch there but when I arrived everyone was watching a soccer game...rooting for the French Team. It was pleasant to see the owners, staff, and guests so into the game. It created a welcoming and fun atmosphere...making my French experience more authentic. Just be aware, that majority of the seating is outside with an overhead shade. I looove eating outdoors so the setting was perrrfect. When it was time to order, I went inside to place it at the counter. Not too long afterwards, my warm latte came out then my breakfast...I didn't have to wait at all. Everything was sooo yummy. C'est vraiment bon!! I can't wait to go back to try the other menu items. I highly recommend Madeleine to the Yelp Community :-)

(editing to add this is a French-owned and Black-owned business, in case folks are looking!)…read more I usually come here when I'm doing errands on Cedros - and I usually just want to get my français on and order a café crème and a croissant. But today I needed a little extra je ne sais quoi because my morning was annoying, so I decided to splurge on lunch and not just a pastry here. I asked Steve, the (très beau et gentille!) co-owner what the quiche of the day was. There were two: one with jambon (ham) and one with épinards et fromage de chèvre (spinach and goat cheese). When I hesitated, he told me that the spinach one was amazing. Even though it's $20 for a quiche plate, I decided to go for it. I thought I was going to get a sad little quiche slice for that amount and might regret it. But OMG, it was more than worth it! Already they have a lovely patio on this pretty street in this fancy design district. But it was also a HUGE and exceptionally savory rectangular slice, alongside a DELECTEABLE petite salade. I asked Steve what mustard they use in the vinaigrette, and he said plain old Dijon - but the proportions and the seasoning were EXCELLENT. So it was salad perfection, not heavily dressed at all, just delightful. The patio was full on a Friday with ladies who lunch - but did that include me, as a solo diner, since I am a lady who had lunch? I'm not sure, but you can feel comfortable here no matter what. And now I know Madeleine Cafe is much too good to just come for coffee and for ordering in French from Steve or his co-owner Emmanuel. I don't want to spend that much for lunch every day - but I'll be back!
