Best crepes in California, hands down! Fast service, great prices, and amazing quality. Huge thanks to Amal for the outstanding service. Highly recommend!

After a nice dinner in the Hill Crest area, I was on the hunt for a good, local dessert. Thanks to Yelp (my foodie GPS), Figaro was less than two blocks from me. I instantly lovely the dramatic, black walls; it gave the space a cozy, trendy, after 5 ambiance. The dessert cases were filled with colorful goodies and in a rush I chose the milk and berries cake and the spicy chocolate ice cream. The cake reminded me somewhat of Whole Foods' chantilly cake: light, not overly sweet, fresh fruit, and the perfect amount of flavor in the cake and cream. Stephanie was helpful as I had to make a selection when so many looked delicious.

Mango Strawberry Cheesecake
Frankie M.

This place is AMAZING! Been coming here for years! Known for their desserts, specialty coffee, gelato and crepes! They have some of the most unique gourmet desserts and artisan gelato selection in San Diego! Hands down! Service is always exceptional. The cafe is small, but quaint. Plenty of seating areas outside on the patio. And there's always a wide selection of delicious treats! This time around we tried the mango strawberry cheesecake, the strawberry panna cotta, and a slice of carrot cake and coconut cream cake. All were very delicious! We capped off the evening with a Mexican mocha and white chocolate mocha! Both were very tasteful! Highly recommend this spot! You will not be disappointed!

German Chocolate Cake  Slice
Vaibhav M.

I ordered German cake slice, which was not at all tasty n worth the price. Even the size was pretty small. Won't recommend this bakery to anyone.

Stopped by here after brunch to get some goodies. Had the passion fruit tart, mango strawberry cheesecake, and pistachios tart. They were all great and not too sweet, which made it perfect.

Cakes

Stopped in to try a pastry, they had quite a selection in the case and all were so beautiful! I tried the pistachio strawberry individual cake and it was yummy the pistachio mousse was very light and it had strawberry jelly with white cake inside. We also tried a slice of the German chocolate cake and to be honest it wasn't our favorite it was very dense & dry but so many varieties and flavors that I will definitely come back to try! Staff was very friendly!

Pistachio Strawberry (Gluten Free), Mango Strawberry Cheesecake, Tiramisu Cake.

AMBIANCE: Small little dessert place we tried after eating brunch in the area. There are many eateries nearby in north park. It's all street parking, but there is a paid parking garage nearby. There's usually more parking around vons area, a few blocks up. SERVICE: You order, pay, and then get your food. The waitresses are nice. We got everything pretty quickly. Sat on the large hardwood table in the back near the restrooms. FOOD: The desserts are very cute and pretty. We tried the pistachio strawberry, mango strawberry cheesecake, tiramisu, and vanilla latte. Everything was just ok. The mousse part of the cake was the best part. The breading for the mango strawberry was a bit dry. My least favorite part of the desserts with "strawberry" was that it tasted like a coagulated clumb of jam and was too overpowering over what should be the pistachio and/or mango. Loved the vanilla latte - quite perfect with the desserts.

Blackberry Lavender and Pistachio Strawberry (Gluten Free)
Kalina I.

Fun little spot to get some cute desserts. Service was great. Super helpful cashier who explained everything that you'd want to know as a first time visitor. Quick service. Cakes are expensive but they are beautifully made. Pistachio is said to be the number one most people choose but It wasn't great. The cake inside was dry and it was overpoweringly sweet. Paired with a black coffee or tea would likely balance it out though. The blackberry lavender on the otherhand was delicious. Really liked the flavor.

Gelato with Friends
David K.

Figaro Dessert Café in North Park is a sweet little gem. The moment you walk in, you're greeted by a colorful display of desserts of all shapes and sizes - - it almost impossible to choose just one. Their gelato case is packed with a wide selection of flavors--there's bound to be something in that case you are going to love. The coffee is excellent too, strong and smooth enough to stand on its own or pair perfectly with a treat. And speaking of treats - pup-cup approved. Service is top notch - and they give great recommendations if you get stuck at the cake case. If you sit outside on the patio, you get the added bonus of great people‑watching while you enjoy your dessert. A perfect spot for a meetup with friends!

Latasha H.

This dessert café is absolutely amazing! The selection of sweets is impressive -- almost too good to choose from. We sampled the carrot cake, Oreo cheesecake, and Snickers cheesecake, and each one was perfectly made: moist, creamy, and full of flavor. The café also offers a great variety of options, including coffee, lattes, sorbet, cakes, brownies, and macarons. Whether you're a cheesecake lover or just have a sweet tooth, there's something here for everyone. A must-visit dessert destination! Awesome staff, the young man was amazing.

Passion Fruit Ice Cream  Tiramisu Ice Cream
Elisa N.

FIGARO DESSERT CAFE! This place is a must try if you're in the area of North Park! My mentor brought me here, and it was tremendous, the different type of art dessert items, so detailed and very well presented. They also have a selection of gelato/ice cream, I loved the nutella one, which they didn't have the second time i went here! Highly recommend any flavors. Prices can be expensive, but it's worth for what you get. About $7 for a scoop of ice cream and $10 for pastries. Worth it! Parking can be a massacre, i'd recommend finding street! Overall, i'd stop by this place again. The only thing is that service is forever, they take a while, definitely need more people to help out the store. The ambiance is dark and great vibes, limited to three seating tables.

Monica R.

Tasty desserts just a little over priced. They have pastries, gelato and cakes. The ambiance is great with plenty of seating outside and inside. The restrooms are clean and the overall place looks nicely maintained.

Oh my gosh, I'm such a fatty came here just to get my friend. A treat ended up taking a peanut butter bar and a turtle caramel cheesecake which once I got home, I absolutely love my friends did get a Figaro ice cream and my other friend ended up being another sort of cheesecake which is very good we got so much stuff. I forgot to take a picture because I was so hungry to eat something savory but the service was absolutely great. It's a very small place so the ambience is whatever it's not really much of like a place to sit inside it's kinda hot anyways but outside it's kind of cool on a cold day. Loved it will be back.

This place is insanely delicious. They had a cookie butter…read morecrepe!! Need I say more?! Their ube ice cream was to die for. I also enjoyed the drink but can't remember what it was - I just know it had ube ice cream on top. Ordering was smooth and quick. There was plenty of seating so we ended up staying and working for a while. I'll definitely be back to try more dessert and some of their savory crepes.

The crepes are HUGE! It almost felt like it was overfilled with how big it was but it didn't take…read moreaway from the flavors in the slightest. It just seemed a little much. We shared a savory and sweet one. For the savory one, we got the crab crepe which was its own experience, as I've never had a seafood crepe, so I was pleasantly impressed with how tasty this was. For the sweet we got the Nutella with strawberry and banana, which of course was delicious! Cannot go wrong with Nutella, ever. The reason for the 4 stars was because I have a peanut allergy and made the cashier aware of it and requested if they could simply take extra pre-caution in preparing our food; instead of just understanding, and complying with the request, it seemed like the worker wasnt understanding that I just wanted things to be cleaned off before cooking our food, and felt like she was trying to scare me off from eating here. Additionally, the workers need some slight education in food allergens, and the difference between peanuts, and tree nuts. If I didn't know any better I would've walked out disappointed in not being able to eat here because the worker was not understanding my ask but instead making me fearful of cross contamination, which I am well aware of but it can be prevented by a quick wipe down, and clean utensils to cook with??? All in all, the food made up for this slight annoyance, so I would recommend for others to try it! Just be careful if you have peanut allergies :)

Stopped in to grab coffee and breakfast. Place next door had a long line looked like they are more…read morepopular with take out orders. I had the breakfast croissant and my friend had the simple breakfast . Place was clean , your order at counter and you can sit anywhere available . Good came out pretty quickly and tasted pretty good. Will probably return when in area. Service was good and everyone was friendly.

My friend and I tried this place yesterday since seeing it on social media. Parking: Finding a spot…read morecan be a bit of a gamble. While there is street parking available, it's North Park, so it fills up fast. There are a few dedicated spots in the back, but don't count on them being open during peak hours. The Food & Drink * Quality: The coffee and food hold their own. The flavors are solid, and the quality is definitely there. * The "Hidden Fee" Frustration: A heads-up for future diners: when ordering items like the Caprese Baguette, be wary of the "side" options. Even if the cashier asks which side you'd like, the breakfast potatoes come with an extra charge that isn't always explicitly mentioned during the ordering process. The Vibe * Atmosphere: While the French-inspired concept is clear, the interior doesn't quite hit the mark for everyone. If you're looking for a highly curated or "Instagrammable" aesthetic, this might feel a bit underwhelming compared to other spots in the neighborhood. Service : The staff was attentive and efficient, ensuring that the food and coffee arrived promptly and making the overall experience much smoother. It's always a plus when the team's hospitality outshines the layout of the room.
