Great place to end with after having dinner at one of the restaurants at sky deck. Creme brulee was perfect. Not too sweet, light and fluffy Strawberry tart was great, theres a full strawberry in the middle The mango was probably my least favorite. It tasted like the crust was nori (seaweed) Lemon tarts are always my favorite and this one didnt disappoint
Came by and ordered myself a Pain Au Chocolat (Chocolate Croissant). He offered to warm it up for me and I thought that was kind! It def tasted much better warm and gooey. It flaked beautifully and was buttery. I was surprised to hear it was $6.50 because it's the same price I paid for a specialty latte here. I would have expected a croissant (chocolate or plain) to be in the $4.25-$5.50/$5.75 range. I guess everything in Sky Deck is a little more expensive than what you'd expect-- maybe because of the cost they have to pay to rent the space. The workers were kind to give me space and time to check over the menu. Like I mentioned last time, the font is a bit small. It would be nice to have printed & laminated menus at the counter space as well for people. I think next time I come I would love to order a crêpe-- the sucre au citron caught my eye because it's a classic! I was surprised to see that they didn't offer salted caramel crêpe though. That would be so delicious as a "fall special" ... it would be great with banana or pear or even apple! They have a lot of other choices for pastries, desserts, and food! Since it's located in Sky Deck they have an abundance of seating available right in front of the shop as well as outside and down below near other businesses.
I came to this establishment at around 9pm. A lot of items were sold out, but that's to be expected of a bakery open this late. We ordered a French pudding, and the cashier told us it was meant to be eaten heated, but did not heat it for us until we returned and specifically requested it be. He seemed slightly miffed both by that and when we asked for utensils as well. The dessert is good. The macaron is chewy in a nice way, and Earl grey is a very unique flavor for a macaron. I felt that the pudding, which was $13, was a bit expensive for the quantity provided.
Located inside the Sky Deck, Parfait Paris greets you with a beautiful display of pastries. It is a solid pitstop for a treat or a meal while navigating Del Mar Highlands. * The Caveat: The seating area is comfortable (loungers and tables), but be aware that it can get loud and chaotic due to the open food hall layout. If you are looking for a quiet coffee to read a book, aim for early morning. THE FOOD I've visited a few times now, and the food quality is consistently good. * Savory Lunch: The Galette Complete ($15.50) is tasty. The buckwheat crepe was freshly cooked with a chewy texture, filled with creamy melted Béchamel and thinly sliced Paris ham. The acidity from the side salad cut through the rich cheese. * Sweet Breakfast: On a recent visit, I grabbed the Fruitella Crepe ($12.00). It was made to order and smothered with Nutella, fresh bananas, strawberries, and whipped cream. * The Basics: The Handmade French Baguette ($3.50) is authentic and crisp, and a great grab-and-go item. SERVICE The team here is excellent. Special thanks to Neth for his professional recommendations on my first visit, and to Brian during my recent stop (he cooked the crepe and was kind enough to grab me a side of butter to go with my baguette). OVERALL A convenient and tasty spot for a taste of France. The food and service are great, even if the food hall atmosphere can get a bit overwhelming during peak times.
Came inside sky deck for some dessert. First and foremost love the ambiance of the place such a cool concept. The croissant my husband order was so ok I thought for 8 dollars it would be tasteful it was actually tasteless. What I loved was my brown sugar cinnamon iced coffee. It was perfectly made and not to sweet but not to bitter was well. I'll definitely be back for just that.
We stopped by this place on our way out of the Skydeck Food Court after our dinner. We decided to take some sweets for on the road as we headed back to Los Angeles. We were not disappointed. It all tasted delicious! Latte was delicious! The pastries are also a good size for sharing if you want to. We took the French Pudding to go and were given the instructions on how to warm it up at home. Worked well. Yummy! The team members who helped us were courteous. They greeted us and answer question and gave us their recommendations when we asked. The place is inside a food court. Parfait Paris is right at the entrance and you can't miss it. The section they have is clean and calm, they have seats and coffee tables. Location is good. You either get a dessert before or after you leave. lol
Tried the mille feuille pastry, and it was disappointing. Pastry was too cold, and one of the critical character of that pastry is crunch and flakiness. And it was not :-( at 12$ the portion I am expecting something special. It wasn't at all... The Dubai inspired croissant was decent but the chocolate filling was overwhelming everything other nuances.
So glad there is another location closer to us than in Gaslamp and Fashion Valley. We love going to Sky Deck for lunch/dinner and ending our meals with dessert/a sweet treat here at Parfait Paris. Now the reason I do love these locations is due to their exceptional macarons. They all have wonderful flavors that are actually poignant when consuming them. They always taste fresh and light. My favorite flavors have been the jasmine earl grey, the Sicilian pistachio, and the honey lavender. This location made them as perfect as expected! My husband and I ordered their Nutella crepe and their creme brûlée. The creme brûlée was okay. It wasn't too sweet but also tasted as if it had sat out for a while although the sugared top was freshly crisp. My husband loved his Nutella crepe though as he had a craving for one all day. I did enjoy the crepe although I prefer savory ones to sweet crepes. As soon as we placed our orders, the treats came out quite quickly. We easily found seating at their open picnic tables and bar tops. Plenty of options! This location is located inside of a food hall on the second floor of a shopping plaza so there is plenty of parking.
This chain in San Diego is a popular spot for my daughter and I. We love the variety of pastries Parfait Paris has and the creative element of seasonal pastries. We have visited the Coronado and UTC mall locations and they are all tasty when it comes to pastries. That being said the drinks are ok and the service can be hit or miss because of how busy these small stalls/store front locations can be. I noticed that they don't take up a lot of real estate but they pack a lot of options in a delicious glass case. They have macaroons, cakes, pastries, and drinks. Ambiance here is great as it is in the Sky Deck Food Hall Drinks are OK Pastries are awesome and on par with the other locations. Hot tip is bring your own water to help with all the sweets. I attached a picture from their Valentine's Day 2025 cake and celebration of Lunar New Year which I enjoyed. For $18 that is at (or a little above) average cost compared to other stores like this.
Food: Lots of desserts! I got a chocolate slice of yumminess with nuts, yum! And a vanilla latte Service: Good Ambiance: It's a "fast food" dessert place. It's at SkyDeck so they have seats inside, in front of dessert place or outside. Noteworthy: Good place if you have a sweet tooth, or you can go downstairs to Handles for ice cream or the Cookie place, next to ice cream shop
Two nights ago, after having dinner at Xin Chao, we decided we wanted a little dessert and a warm coffee/tea drink and decided to go to Parfait Paris in the SKyDeck. That night, the most wonderful, most friendly and kindest person was working alone, Annabelle. Yes, Parfait Paris has wonderful desserts and drinks, but it was Annabelle who made our evening so wonderful with recommendations and hints of her favorite drinks and desserts and macaron flavors. She made our night wonderful!! We sat at the tables that surround Parfait Paris and I was able watch and listen to how she treated every customer - the same most genuine smile and greeting, attentive service, and kindness and helpfulness!! I know and appreciate that staffing is a major challenge these days at all service -focused businesses, but if every business had staff like Annabelle, . . . . . the lone superstar employee two nights ago, . . . . . . . AMAZING, MEMORABLE, SPECIAL!! Thank you, Annabelle!!
One of the best desserts in San Diego! Sooo good! Some many good options available. I can't believe how many macarons they have. Simon is amazing thanks for the great service!
Friendly staffs, Lux and Manon. Their deserts look very yummy! Many good selections on deserts. Spacey place to hang out.

Not to be dramatic: There's good chocolate cake, and then there's really good chocolate cake. This is the latter. This is the place to go in San Diego if you want a slice of luxury without the guilt. In short: get Le Signature, Le Noisette for a nutty flavor, and if they have it, The London Cake (think chocolate and caramel; currently obsessed with this one!!). Tip: Store cakes in a cold/cool place if not eaten immediately especially during a heatwave summer or you'll learn the hard way. Best eaten with unsweetened hot coffee. Here's the long review: Parfait Paris has been consistent with their cakes; I've been visiting them every time whenever I'm close to one for about 2 years. There are multiple locations; I've been to Carmel/Del Mar; Coronado, and Fashion Valley. I don't really stay to eat; I usually grab a couple of slices (avg price is $13/slice) and slowly savor it at home with black coffee. All I can say is that this bakery knows their flavors and textures. The bakery offers pastries, macarons, and other desserts but if you're undecided, get the cake. Esp if you love (like really love) chocolate. I've stuck to 2 cakes: Le Signature- has a light chocolate mousse filling with a shortbread crust and dark chocolate glaze. Le Noisette- an employee there once told me it was like a Ferrero Rocher but a cake version. Accurate description but so understated. The mousse filling is chef's kiss. The monthly special: The London Cake: it's definitely an upgraded version of a dark chocolate cake. Filled whipped caramel filling and chocolate cream; it was balanced and sweet but not in a way that makes your teeth scream. This is the cake that had me question all the chocolate cakes I've had in my life; and the one where I go back the next day, like literally drive the extra mile(s), to get another slice. A little bias here but I've tried the mango bliss cake in the past. Decent flavors and texture as described but not as impressed as their chocolate ones. I've had my fair share of eating lots of (chocolate) cake in SD and LA; this place is def always on my list. read more

This is a bakery stand inside the food hall. There are some general seatings inside the food hall. I got the Le Noisette (hazelnut dessert). It was delicious!! It has real hazelnuts, hazelnut cream, and dark chocolate mix with hazelnut at the bottom. 10/10! And it's not too sweet either. Then I tried the savory croissant. It's a September special. Chicago croissant. Which is basically a pizza filling inside a croissant crust. It was delicious! I love the croissant crust! The staff was friendly as well! read more

Great sweets! I got the Dubai Pain Swiss croissant which has pistachio cream, dark chocolate and crispy knafeh. It was super good! Brilliantly made, the top is crunchy like knafeh and soft on the inside. This pastry is a take on the popular trending Dubai chocolate bar and they did a good job of turning it into a pastry. The one thing I wish it had in addition to pistachio cream is more chunks of pistachio nuts. read more

Located in the Del Mar heights sky deck, parfait Paris is a pattiserie offering breads and baked goods. After dinner nearby, we stopped her to pick up some pastries to go. We got the La Noisette made with hazelnuts and the La Signature a chocolate mousse. Both of these were delicious and the service was super friendly and attentive. They also had a lemon tart offering that looked interesting, but I had to make the tough choice to pick only two! A good place to stop by if you're looking for a quick dessert to go! read more

Beautiful location - ambiance is brilliant. The perfect entrance into the sky deck at Del Mar Highlands. The colorful pastries and macaroons in the front viewing box are extremely tempting. Beautifully designed cakes and desserts. I opted only for a iced white chocolate mocha. The drink is very smooth and more balanced in flavor than most cafes that offer this drink. There's an obvious, but not overpowering flavor of the white chocolate. Service is decent - friendly over the counter experience. read more

This is my first visit to the Sky Deck with my friend. I was so blown away by the amazing atmosphere and was instantly drawn to Le Parfait Paris. The desserts are so beautifully displayed and there is such a lovely variety to choose from. We were helped by Demarco (hope I spelled that right) who provided the most friendly service. He truly made our first visit to this eatery a great experience and was so helpful in answering our questions and just providing the best service. Thank you Demarco we will be sure to come back here and recommend this place to all our friends Edit to add: after trying our desserts we are so pleased with our choices not only do the desserts look beautiful but they also taste amazing! read more
Pretty French patisserie stand located inside Sky Deck, the vast majority of PP's goods are baked/created/composed off-site (so what you see in the display is what you get!) *except* crepes which are freshly made to order. Mace (yes, like the spray :) at the counter was so sweet and patient as my girlfriends and I oohed and aahed over what to try, and even offered to replace my Sucre Citron Crepe if I didn't like it - talk about awesome service! As it turns out, I probably should've taken Mace up on her offer, as my crepe was a bit too plain for me - I could've used much more lemony punch, perhaps through the addition of candied lemon rinds (hint to management ;)... I absolutely loved the passionfruit macaron I also ordered, however - now that little darling absolutely sang with fruit flavor! read more

This was my second time here, and both visits were disappointing. I ordered a hazelnut affogato. I was charged and then told I couldn't have it with hazelnut. For the price point was just not worth it. All it ended up being was nothing more than ice cream with shots of espresso in a paper cup--for $12. Definitely not worth it. The staff seemed more focused on the music they were playing than on customer service. It would be helpful if they were more knowledgeable about the menu or if the place had a picture menu so customers know what they're ordering. Overall, an underwhelming experience. Would not recommend. read more

I had raving reviews about their pastries and ambiance. However, I tried the French BLT that was hard and difficult to eat. The strawberry tart was frigid and flavorless. It was extremely disappointing. Crookie, which is a combination of cookie and croissant, was great. Their croissant never missed. read more

Love Parfait Paris and happy there's a location in Sky Deck! My go to pastry here is the Signature cake. It's sooo delicious and decadent with some crunchies inside. Their yuzu & lemon tart is perfectly tart with a nice buttery crust. Their pastries are usually $10.50 per slice. Their macarons are pretty good too. Staff here are friendly and helpful. Be sure to sign up for their rewards program. You get free macarons as rewards. read more
