The staff is friendly, anything you buy looks gorgeous and the inside is immaculate. Ambience 9/10 Lunar New Year Croissant Described as a croissant filled with sesame and almond paste, this is a good but not great croissant. It has the layers, it has the chew, but it's no better than a croissant you would get at a number of other bakeries in the area. But those other bakeries are charging $4-7 instead of $10! The almond and sesame flavors were both very subtle and make me believe there is just a very minimal amount used in the recipe. Would not recommend even as a chewy over crispy croissant guy. 5/10 Creme brûlée latte Pretty much what I wanted without description. Creamy, noticeable but not overpowering vanilla flavor, and a lovely burnt topping for bitter balance. The coffee still comes through meaning this is a well crafted latte, not a dessert. This one actually comes at a pretty decent price too. 8/10 Yuzu & lime tart Their take on meringue pie is composed of a graham crust, yuzu mousse, and a meringue topper with a circle of lemon curd gel. To my taste, there is too much sweet on this plate, needing some balance of tart. But the textures of each component were on point: fluffy meringue, thick lemon gel, dense crust, and substantial yet airy mousse. Torching the meringue at home added a bitter element which I think made the sweetness more palatable. Would have liked the citrus to be more present. 5/10. All in all I would choose other sweets shops at most shopping centers than return here but for drinks this is a pretty good option.

There are some seating inside the restaurant which is nice. And there was a counter with a menu on the TV screens on what to order. The young lady that was helping me was super patient and helpful and my questions on recommending me items that weren't super sweet, but she said they were adjustable as well. She mentioned that the tea was adjustable and sugar levels, but the Vietnamese iced coffee was made with condensed milk traditionally so the sweetness was not adjustable. I ordered the Vietnamese ice coffee with Ben's foam and it was delicious! The banana foam did not have an artificial taste and lightened up the coffee. Pricing was great too especially the size of coffee I received. She validated my parking as well so that was nice. Parking is like $3 for 15 minutes not $1 and the parking thing was very slow and pretty much broken. A huge line ended up forming to get out, but I understand it's not the boba shops fault, but the plaza itself. If the faulty parking device wasn't so bad, I would revisit.

The Crispy Burger store at the Regents Marketplace in La Jolla shares its space with La Jolla Boba…read more The two businesses replaced a taco shop and salad spot that were operated by the same ownership group. Parking can be validated if you bring the ticket to the service counter where an employee can authorize the charge to be free during a visit. Otherwise, the rate was $1 per 15 minutes. Upon walking into the double suite, La Jolla Boba was straight ahead and to the right. You could place an order using the self-service tablet stand or at the counter. The beverage categories were classics, specialties, and hot drinks (teas, Vietnamese coffee). Serving sizes for the boba teas were regular 20 oz and large 24 oz. For the regular size, it cost $5 for a classic and $6 for a specialty. For the large size, it was one dollar more for each category. Toppings cost $1 each. I arrived during a weekday lunch hour. To my disappointment, the brown sugar boba was not available because it was still being warmed up. The wait was around 40 minutes before the pearls would be ready. I don't understand why the boba wasn't prepared before the business opened at 11:00. It's a planning issue that the staff needs to rectify. My order was a large Passionfruit Green Tea with less ice and no toppings. The tea flavor wasn't strong as it was obscured by the fruity sweetness. The cost for my drink was $6.21 plus sales tax. That meant a 3.5% fee was added without an explanation. I assume it was a service or convenience charge that should have been described on the receipt. I gave a three star rating for my boba tea experience at La Jolla Boba.

Cool coffee spot at the Conerstone Business Center.

The only thing I wouldn't recommend is the match, I wasn't impressed. Other than the drinks, their food items are pretty good! My favorite is the breakfast egg, cheese, pesto sandwich. The food inventory is pretty small, so I usually go on their restock days, which is Monday and Wednesday. Also they do a fun thing during the holidays where if you donate a toy for kids at the stand then they will give you a free coffee.

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.

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!

A great place to just relax or do work on a laptop. They have a good menu, a good array of various drinks like coffees, teas and smoothies and breakfast items. There's also grab and go items which is convenient. The employees are nice and friendly. I ordered a hot latte with oat milk and my brother got the same thing, iced. We loved them!

I got an iced matcha latte, salt and butter roll, garlic cream cheese bread (such a nice strong garlic flavor), an earl gray macaron, and a blueberry lavender macaron. Everything was pretty tasty, but just a bit pricy. On the day I went, they had free samples of the choco cloud cake. It was delicious with fruit throughout the layers, and not too sweet! You can buy a whole cake, or just a slice of cake if you want to try different flavors. They also have a merchandise section with Tous Les Jours cooler bags, bags of coffee beans, and tumblers. Between the impressive selection and quality of the baked goods, I can definitely see why this is my friend's go to bakery, and I'll be back to work my way through more of the menu.

For only $3. I now need to try their other cookies because they have so many fun flavors. We also got the Sai gon Coffee was our first time and it was tasty as well. Nice little pick me up. The service is always wonderful. They have a big menu of drinks, sweets and a small selection of hot foods. It's a cute little shop, but filled with yummy goodness that's waiting to be ordered.
