If you're looking for amazing pastries, lite breakfast and lunch this is the place. This place is friendly, cares about their customers and most of all CONSISTENT. Lovely patio and inside seating. We love almond croissants . Have tried many bakeries in SD county. No e as good as these. Filling on all their pastries always spread even. No clumps. The omelettes are a nice size. A must try.
We stayed in hotel across the street and were heading out of town to drive north and just happened to see this bakery. To satisfy sweet tooth we stopped by around lunchtime. The setup is really nice. You can sit inside or outside on the patio and enjoy the sun. I'm particularly fond of the fruit tarts and the one I picked out was amazing. My wife picked out a fruit gel that was special made. We had to let it thaw for 30 minutes, but it was absolutely delicious. The owner was inside very friendly guy and we sat and chatted with him for a little bit. If you like high-quality baked goods, you have to stop by here.
We were frequent customers at the precious location in Carlsbad Village. We were unhappy to see the cafe relocate. We are wrong! The new location is definitely provides more comfortable outdoor seating, easy parking AND the same delicious fare. The new complex also offers other interesting buildings, and businesses with lovely, unexpected outdoor spaces. The architecture is very industrial, but the overall design speaks of a community gathering center. Give this location a try. We were impressed, especially since this is still a family business and does not have a chain store vibe.
This place is SO good. Though initially I was saddened that they took over the business space that used to be an Asian Fusion restaurant, sadness quickly turned to happiness! This is a contemporary-style French bakery that serves breakfast & lunch with coffee or wine and other beverages. We walked up to the register to order our food & beverages and got a number to put on our table. The employees were helpful and friendly. I've always appreciated and enjoyed the open layout of this place. There's really nice outdoor seating but inside is good too, still feels like you're dining al fresco. After ordering, our drinks came first. We had the Pistachio Latte and the Lavender Chai and OMG. The BEST we've had anywhere. Then we tried the Chicken Florentine Crepes and the French Onion Soup, both served with a spring salad. My oh my. It was absolutely delicious! Both were on point! Then, we had to get something sweet. So, we chose the Mango dessert (that was as big as a real one) and the Raspberry Tart. Both were good. We liked that they weren't overly sweet and had just the right amount of sweetness. The mango dessert was so light and fruity and the crushed almond filling in the raspberry tart just added an extra layer of goodness to an already delicious dessert. Overall, was a great experience and looking forward to going back!
Finally a French bakery we all love! My sister brought a bunch of goodies for my birthday party and they were all delicious! Can't wait to go to the bakery myself and check out all the goodies. The napoleon cake is the best we've had in north county!
Oui! Oui! Oui! C'est super, c'est délicieux! This is exactly what this area has been missing, an outstanding French bakery and café. My better half has been picking up pastries here since they opened, and l've been consistently impressed by the quality. I finally stopped in myself this week and was absolutely delighted. The space is spotless, with a lovely outdoor seating area and one of the most beautiful pastry displays I've seen locally. I ordered a generous assortment of both refrigerated and baked pastries, and every single one was exquisite. The service was warm, friendly, and patient as I lingered...oohing and admiring every creation behind the glass. This place already feels like the start of a long, happy weekly ritual. In addition to the pastries, they offer a fantastic breakfast and lunch menu, excellent coffee, and even wine. Comme on dit en France : la vie est trop courte pour se priver de bonnes pâtisseries-life is too short to deny yourself great pastries!
Very friendly staff! Comfortable interior ambiance with ample outdoor seating as well. I had the cheese danish and the flavor profile was very lovely! The coffee was good and comes with an endless cup attribute () I'll definitely be bringing the wife back,
I love desserts so I am always excited to try new places. This place has a variety of desserts and pastries. We tried a muffin, a fruit tart and the chocolate dessert in the picture. The muffin didn't taste fresh and the pastries on display also looked stale. The fruit tart was ok and the chocolate dessert was tasty but it costs $11 so I am not sure it's worth the price tag.
I was looking for a new place to have breakfast and saw this Bakery Cafe next to restaurants we frequent when in town. Everyone was welcoming and friendly. There were so many beautiful pieces of art (pastries) behind the counter that I'm sure we'll be back regularly for coffee and pastry to go. We ordered... Mediterranean omelette with taters. Crepes with Grandmanier infused cream Latte (hot and cold) Everything was delicious. My husband and I shared the food. It was a nice combination of savory and sweet. The decor is modern. Seating inside and outside. (Although they should water the plants outside). Restroom was unisex and clean. Looking forward to trying the pastries. Will definitely be getting some for my tea parties or get togethers.
Been a few times now. Our favs are the apple tart, the chocolate eclairs and the raspberry mousse cake...amazing. All we're not overly sweet. They also offer breakfast/lunch items. Ordered an omelette and it was delicious. Easy parking in lot. You can dine in or out on the patio.
INCREDIBLE cake! Love their tart too, honestly wanted to try everything. It is tucked away so I wouldn't have noticed it if I wasn't looking for it but it is in a very calm/peaceful area. The staff was super friendly and helpful with flavor suggestions. Definitely will be returning to try some other pastries!
The well-loved French Bakery from Carlsbad Village opened up their new location near Bressi! It's a quiet location (at least on the Sunday morning we went on) with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating plus a large parking lot. Friendly staff as always, yummy cakes and paninis, and a relaxing atmosphere. I love the ambiance here, and can see it as a great place to catch up with loved ones or even get some work/study done :)
Wow, what a beautiful little bakery. I have been meaning to stop by for a long time but it's a bit out of the way and I kept forgetting. Today I made a point to go! Parking was easy and plentiful which isn't always the case in the shared business lot. Walking up they have a great patio with umbrellas for shade. I was greeted when I walked in and approached the counter. I instantly recognized the desserts by clement fruits and asked if they were the one and only. They are. Nice to have that option closer. I looked at all the beautiful pastries and cakes but settled on a croissant. I took it to go. When I got home I heated it lightly and throughly enjoyed it with my coffee. I can't wait to come back and try other things including breakfast. read more

Amazing croissants!! Walked in, and their pastry selection was amaaaazing. However, I wanted something simple and just a plain croissant. The honeycomb is beautiful! If the croissant is that beautiful, I'm sure the rest of the pastries they have are bangers. I had brunch with some friends and they brought out food super quick. The staff were SO sweet, they took great care of us when we were there. I had the ham and cheese omelette. It was divine! Everything was well-seasoned, and my friends also enjoyed their meals. The cafe also had plenty of seating, inside and out. I'd definitely come back to try out their other stuff and would recommend if you're in search of good French pastries. They won't disappoint! read more

Screw the ambiance & the service, while those were fine let's get to business. The raspberry pastry was phenomenal, I shoved it down my throat without utensils before exiting the parking lot, no cross section picture for you. I also finished the mango pastry in the same sitting. Highly recommend. $11.50/each read more

Very beautiful pastries! Although I have to confess my apple tart would have been better a bit warmer. It was really cold. Good coffee too. I was working in the area and stopped by to check Bressi French because wanted to see if it was really French and was just around the corner doing some work. Very nice girls explaining the variety of things they serve (also food and wines, not only pastries and coffee). Space is big, with inside and outside seating. And yes, croissants for life! read more

We arrived at French Pastry Cafe on a cloudy Sunday morning, and ordered at 10:57am. First one nice guy helped us with our order. Another gal came to help, so we mentioned we were being helped by him. It was unclear that they were both trying to help us. My bf went to sit at a table, to avoid the issues ordering two meals to eat here and two desserts to go. They apparently were both helping us, we finally understood. One gal said my bf stormed off, but he just walked off to get a table. My bf ordered the Orange Grand Marnier sweet crepes. About 10 minutes later, the staff came to us & told us they ran out of the custard to make this crepe and asked him what else he wanted. They did not bring a menu in hand, but he ordered the Banana Nutella Crepes. Another 5 to 8 minutes later, they again came and told us that they didn't have the ingredients to make this crepe, either. So another crepe was ordered. We waited 30 minutes for our food in total. They offered us a free dessert to accommodate our inconvenience. When we got the food, the staff lady said, and this is a quote, "You want us to refund you and take your crepes back? We can do that, too." She was most unpleasant. It is easy to be rude. It takes effort to communicate with customers and seem sympathetic. The one staff gal needs better respect and communication skills. Our food arrived at 11:28am. We will not be ordering food to eat here again. We will probably come for their $8-10 desserts and order them to go. Our food was not hot when served, but warm. read more

This is our go-to place for birthday cakes and special pastries. We love their Chocolate Mousse Cake with and without strawberries. And their Spinach Feta pastries make an incredible breakfast or snack. Haven't picked a bad individual pastry or fruit tart either. We like to get an assortment and cut them into several pieces so everyone can try a bite of each type! They also have a lovely patio area with a fire pit. It's a nice place to get a coffee and a quick bite in the morning. read more
