Walked out with a bunch of baked goodies I didn't expect to get, but they all looked so good! We tried the macarons and chocolate dipped Madeline's. Didn't love the Madeline but the macaron was yummy! I think the decorated cakes are absolutely beautiful. Might try a slice of one next time I'm here. Service is helpful and patient as you make up your mind! Not a lot of outdoor seating options [this review was written in connection with a Toast promotion]

I waited and was ignored (by at least 2 people behind the counter) for several minutes before i had to ask for help. I ordered a strawberry and banana crepe, was charged appropriately for requesting extra fruit, then waited about 15 minutes. My order was ready as promised but when I got home (Chula Vista) I discovered that I didn't get the bananas. Annoying to be charged for something I didn't get and it was too far to return. One star for service, 3 for the food, overall 2 stars. I can't recommend it and won't return.

Worst brunch of my life!!…read more Where do I even begin? We were in Coronado looking for a brunch spot and this place came recommended. Since we had never tried a European-style café before, we thought we'd give it a shot. Unfortunately, the experience was extremely disappointing. Everything from the food to the ambiance and overall cleanliness left a lot to be desired. The paninis were unbelievably bland -- they really need some kind of sauce or spread because they had almost no flavor at all. On top of that, the prices were surprisingly high for what we received. The desserts were around $11 each, and they didn't even taste fresh. The bread pudding was so hard we could barely get our fork through it. The only redeeming thing about this place is the location. Otherwise, the tables and floors looked unclean, which made the whole experience even more off-putting. This restaurant really needs to revisit its menu and overall upkeep because, as it stands, it's not a place we'd return to.

Tried a mix of savory and sweet: the Curry Pan was good but didn't totally wow me, while the chocolate, strawberry ribbon, and matcha croissants were all really solid -- especially because they weren't overly sweet. The surprise favorite was the caviar bread: salty, fishy, briny topping on crusty bread that somehow just worked SO well. We also split a croque monsieur which was warm, cheesy, and perfect to balance out all the pastries. I wish they had real cutlery (vs only plastic disposables) for dine in customers. Our family shared all these goodies and a plastic knife was no match for some of them. Overall, really good quality pastries and breads, worth the early lineup. I'd definitely come back to try the sandos (served started 11:30)

Still my go to place when I'm craving something sweet and special. Their cakes may be pricey, but…read morein my opinion, for the amount of work, effort, and quality of ingredients, I think they continue to be fair. For example, some other specialty bakeries/shops are charging similar prices for cakes and cheesecakes that are much simpler. In comparison, Extraordinary Dessert cakes take 3-4 days to make, have 6-8 alternating layers, and are typically adorned with edible gold and/or flowers. The key is to find which items you like and which are okay to pass on next time. What we ried this time: -Match Misu Cake (7/10): ricotta cake layers soaked in matcha and layered with marscapone whipped cream. This one was pretty good and ranks in my middle to high range. I only wish there was more matcha flavor (maybe if you dine in and get the sauce, this would help) or the matcha was paired with another flavor ... either go fruity (maybe a raspberry sauce, strawberry pieces, white peach pieces, or like a peach oolong cream layer) or go chocolately/coffee (maybe had some crushed up chocolate covered espresso beans). My go to's: -Ivoire Royale (10/10) - my ultimate favorite still. If you like light desserts, white chocolate, berries, and moist vanilla cake, thus one is for you. Classy and unpretentious -Shangrila (10/10) - my other favorite and will make you feel like a princess with all the pink chocolate curls. A little bit adventurous and innocently elegant. Ones to skip: -Au Chocolate / La Bete Noire / Dame Chocolate - get the Viking instead. That's my favorite of all their chocolate cakes -Lemon ricotta - get the Passionfruit Ricotta instead -Torta misu - the matcha misu is better. The tortilla misuse made me want a regular piece of tirmaisu than a cake version -Coconut cream - not bad, not amazing though

We normally come here weekly after dinner with family for dessert, but after this last experience…read morewe will not be returning. Also just so everyone is aware they're also liars just to mention & stupid.. she tells us her name is Karen thinking we don't know the owners name lol .. She was at the register at 7:20pm and was extremely rude and dismissive after we placed our order, especially regarding a child's dietary restrictions and health concerns. We politely asked if it would be possible to purchase a small cup of fruit , even just a couple strawberries cut up, because one child in our group cannot have sweets due to very strict dietary restrictions . Instead of simply saying they were unable to accommodate the request or offering another option, we were told to "go somewhere else," despite already spending the amount we did . The complete lack of professionalism and basic customer service was honestly shocking. It's disappointing to be treated that way at a place we have supported so consistently. This place has been going downhill , management for this place needs to step up .

The atmosphere, the energy, even the warmth from the staff -- and I swear the owner's accent just made the whole experience even more magical -- everything about this place is just chef's kiss. Now let's talk about the FOOD. I had a chipotle chicken crêpe that was unreal -- perfectly balanced, flavorful, and so satisfying. Then came the pastries... I tried the most incredible apple croissant-style bread (I don't even know what to call it, just know it was AMAZING), and the macarons were soft, fresh, and full of flavor. And the lavender honey latte?? Oh my God. I'm still thinking about it. Literally one of the best drinks I've ever had. Every single thing I tried was a 10/10. Not one miss. But honestly, it's more than just the food -- it's the experience. It's cozy, beautiful, and just feels special. If I lived in San Diego, I would be here every single day without question.

We usually stop by early in the morning, which makes it easy to beat the crowds, though it does get noticeably busier on weekend afternoons closer to closing time. There's paid-street parking all around the block. We've ordered the kyoto matcha latte, it's subtly sweet and very matcha-forward. Their cold brew is pretty smooth with zero acidity, and adding the cream top elevates the drink. The strawberry latte, when they used to offer it, was delicious if you want something fruity and sweet! My boyfriend loves to order their selections of pour over and always insists we sit and sip. They frequently rotate their pastry selection with new items, but the black sesame morning bun, the waffle, and their scones are definite standouts. The interior has expanded recently, offering a cozy and minimal design that closely resembles the quiet atmosphere of a cafe in Japan.
