As someone who is not big on coffee, this latte was actually so so good, and I would definitely recommend. I also tried a bite of the Bibimbap Croissant which was yummy too. Service was amazing! The staff were welcoming, friendly, and quick. They checked on us frequently and made sure if we needed anything else / if we enjoyed our food. They also offered us samples of a new item, the Coconut Pumpkin Bun, coming out around October. It was warm and not too sweet - a perfect balance in my opinion. The atmosphere and ambience was clean and cozy. It was a nice place for our group to enjoy some drinks and a quick bite. Everyone enjoyed themselves! Overall, I highly recommend checking this place out! I will definitely be back :)

The ambiance is great because it has a fair amount of seating, but it gets taken up quickly. Lots of people here to study, work, or go on dates.

Amazing Pastries, Fantastic Sourdough & Delicious Sandwiches!…read more Wayfarer Bread & Pastry is one of my favorite bakeries in La Jolla! Their pastries are absolutely delicious, the sourdough bread is fantastic, and the sandwiches never disappoint. They usually offer two daily sandwich options, one meat and one vegetarian, and I've enjoyed both. My only complaint is that the vegetarian sandwich always seems to come on a baguette, which I find a little too hard and chewy for my liking. I wish they would switch up the bread occasionally because the fillings are wonderful! For that reason, I usually end up choosing the meat sandwich instead. As for the pizza, it's probably my least favorite item. While the crust is good, I find the toppings a bit too sparse. A little more generosity with the toppings would make a big difference. Also, keep in mind that the pizza needs to be pre-ordered through their website, so plan ahead if you're hoping to try it. There's almost always a long line, but don't let that discourage you! It moves surprisingly quickly, and the baked goods are well worth the wait. Overall, Wayfarer is a wonderful bakery with consistently delicious pastries, excellent sourdough, and creative sandwiches. A few small improvements would make it even better, but it remains one of my favorite places to stop for a treat or a quick lunch!

I've been wanting to check out Wayfarer for awhile now since I've seen them on social media…read more While visiting Del Mar I decided to finally check it out. As expected there was a line out the door. I waited about 15 minutes until it was my turn to see what was available. I came around 10:30am on a Sunday and they had about 3 types of croissants, two types of cookies, and cinnamon buns. They also had their usual sandwiches and breads. They did not have any of their kouign amann that Sunday morning. You tell them what you want at the counter and they box everything. Drinks are made and handed out outside. All their breads and pastries are baked fresh daily and they use local and organic ingreidents. I ended up getting an almond and hazelnut croissant and a sea salt chocolate chip cookie. I also got a tumeric ginger latte and an Americano. The almond croissant was a little dry and very mid. The inside of it was good though. The hazelnut croissant was my favorite. It had tons of hazelnut on top and the filling was really nice. The sea salt chocolate cookie was very large and pretty good. As for the drinks the Americano was very light. My tumeric ginger latte was a nice switch up. I paid $27 for 3 pastries and 2 drinks. The staff was pretty quick with boxing my items and I waited about 5-10 minutes for my two drinks. The inside of the bakery is small but they have a cute casual patio. There's no tables though and only bench seating if you can find a spot. It's more of a grab and go type of shop. I like that you can pre-order ahead too. Parking is hard since its on a major street and street parking can be tricky.

The pesto spread was good though. It was creamy and the artisan bread it was served had great variety. Ambiance: 5/5 This place is such super cute. When you walk in, the desserts all look super appetizing. The seating areas are super cute and the floral decor are stunning. Service: 5/5 It is an order then sit down establishment.

This was not our first time visiting Extraordinary Desserts, which makes this experience even more disappointing. Sadly, every time we come back, the service seems to get worse. The waiter's attitude and level of attention were unacceptable, and the overall customer service was simply not there. For a place that is supposed to be about enjoying beautiful desserts and having a nice experience, the quality of the service completely ruined our visit. Service, attention, and hospitality were all a zero.

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.

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.

It's an absolute staple of what makes exploring the Village so special. Walking through the front entrance, you're greeted by a curated retail space that feels like Crate & Barrel met a boutique shop in the heart of Paris. 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.
