    This place is great. They always have fresh bread. And the people are always there with a smile. It's great to have them in the neighborhood. Just a quick walk and the fresh bread is always plenty full. And the Place is always clean.

Then the strawberry pistachio croissant was so fluffy and soft like the cinnamon loaf bread and the kouign amann is apparently one of their most popular breads. The blueberry almond financier was rly moist inside, rly good and outside was crisp. The cinnamon bun was actually soft and flaky biting into it. Possibly my favorite one. However for the chocolate croissant, I tasted most of the croissant, not much chocolate. Gotta go there early in order to get the breads you want (for the cinnamon pull apart loaf bread it serves at 11 am) but this is one of my favorite bakeries ever!

From photos, the bakery looks cute! We tried the peach and vanilla tile, kouign amann, strawberry pistachio croissant, and the ham and cheese croissant. The kouign amann had an interesting burnt caramelized crunch on top. The croissant didn't have a very strong pistachio or strawberry flavor, but the texture was decent. My favorite pastry was the peach and vanilla tile, as the peaches were sweet and refreshing and complemented the vanilla well.

Super cutesy vibe and pretty delicate desserts. Almost reminds me of Nothing Bundt Cake interior with merch, candles, gifts, flowers.

I got the earl gray lavender cupcake and black sesame matcha Hojicha drink and lychee hibiscus tea drink. The cupcake was moist, not too sweet, had some grittiness to it from the seeds. Tasted the earl gray and lavender combo. It was delicious, I could have ate the entire thing but had to share the other half. There were a few tables outside but none inside.

I ordered the Island Girl Coffee, a macadamia latte, and asked for it less sweet. To me, it tasted very similar to a flavored hazelnut latte from Starbucks. Even with reduced sweetness, it was still sweeter than I prefer and had a slightly artificial flavor. If you enjoy flavored Starbucks-style coffee, you'll probably like it, but it's just not my personal preference. I actually didn't finish my drink because the flavor wasn't for me. That said, the cashier was very sweet, and the dessert display looked beautiful and tempting. While the coffee didn't win me over, I'd still come back to give their desserts a try since they looked much more appealing than the drink I ordered. Overall, a nice spot with friendly service, but next time I'll be skipping the flavored coffee and trying one of the desserts instead.

The espresso had a really good, high-quality flavor, and the banana cold foam was naturally sweet without being overly sweet or tasting artificial. It actually had little pieces of real banana in it, which I wasn't expecting, but I loved the bit of texture they added. I really, really enjoyed this latte and would absolutely order it again. The chocolate croissant was also really good. It was very fluffy, light and flaky, and the croissant itself was baked perfectly! But the cookie croissant was AMAZING and definitely the standout pastry. It wasn't quite what I expected, but that ended up being what made it so good. The outside of the croissant was perfectly baked--light, crispy, fluffy and just barely browned, exactly how I want a croissant to be. The cookie inside was incredibly soft and almost had the texture and flavor of eating a big spoonful of cookie dough. It wasn't actually undercooked, but seemed like it was baked to just barely done, which I think was perfect. I imagine they have to balance cooking the cookie without overcooking the croissant. I also loved that they used miniature chocolate chips. You got little bits of chocolate throughout every bite without ever getting a huge chunk of chocolate that overwhelmed everything else. My absolute favorite part of the cookie croissant, though, was the base underneath where the cookie sits. There's a thin, flat layer of croissant pastry that is a little denser than the flaky outside and almost has the texture of pie crust, while still having that buttery croissant flavor. It made the whole thing feel almost like a cookie pie inside a croissant. Between the light crispy and flaky outside, the soft doughy cookie center and that slightly denser buttery pastry layer underneath, you get all these different textures in the same bite. It's such a cool combination and genuinely delicious. 10/10, I would absolutely get it again. I'm already back in New Mexico and genuinely wish I had another one! Service was fast and it was an enjoyable space to be in. Overall, I would absolutely come back.

It's an absolute staple of what makes exploring the Village so special.

It's packed with unique home goods, chic trinkets, and aesthetic lifestyle items. Be sure to wander all the way to the back shelves--there are so many hidden gems worth taking home! The staff upfront and on the floor were incredibly warm, welcoming, and happy to chat while you browse. As you head toward the back, the space opens up into a dream of a café. One of the cutest touches is being able to actually watch the bakers rolling out fresh dough and crafting pastries right before your eyes. The smell of rich espresso and buttery pastry crust filling the air is irresistible. I grabbed a coffee and a fresh pastry, waited a short bit for a table on the patio, and pulled out my journal. Listening to the ambient music and ocean breeze in the courtyard while writing was pure heaven. Whether you're stopping in to shop for home decor, grab a top-tier espresso, or just soak in the slow, luxurious rhythm of La Jolla, this place is perfection.

The only way you could tell it was a matcha drink was purely the color of the drink. I also got three cake flavors to try and was really excited to try them because they looked so beautiful. Unfortunately, the cake tasted dry and the flavor was just average. As for the service, they got my name wrong horrendously. I don't know if it was because it was loud or the cashier didn't bother asking for clarification but they gave me a new name of Rachel. This led me to wait for my drink for well over 30 mins before I had to ask for help. The overall ambiance of the store is very aesthetic and nicely kept but what really made me confused was there was a complete lack of trash bins. The only way you could dispose of your trash was giving it to a worker which was inconvenient because there are a total of 2-3 workers who are always busy because of the long line. For the price of the matcha and drinks, I'd expect more. I would not come here unless you love waiting in lines for some below average pastries and drinks.
