It's our third time ordering desserts and would always be back even though prices are on the higher side. Ordered our usual take out: Carrot cake, Le Noisette, and French Pudding. All were deliciously! Great spot when looking for a delicious dessert/pastries while in UTC. Courteous staff on duty. Highly recommended! read more

TLDR - All style, some substance. Everything from the exterior to the foods exudes a beautiful aesthetic but the quality aside from looks does not justify the price when there are comparable and more price appropriate dessert/sweets/cafes within a 2 minute walk Parfait Paris is an adorable patisserie/cafe at the utc Westfield. The staff is friendly, anything you buy looks gorgeous and the inside is immaculate. Ambience 9/10 Lunar New Year Croissant Described as a croissant filled with sesame and almond paste, this is a good but not great croissant. It has the layers, it has the chew, but it's no better than a croissant you would get at a number of other bakeries in the area. But those other bakeries are charging $4-7 instead of $10! The almond and sesame flavors were both very subtle and make me believe there is just a very minimal amount used in the recipe. Would not recommend even as a chewy over crispy croissant guy. 5/10 Creme brûlée latte Pretty much what I wanted without description. Creamy, noticeable but not overpowering vanilla flavor, and a lovely burnt topping for bitter balance. The coffee still comes through meaning this is a well crafted latte, not a dessert. This one actually comes at a pretty decent price too. 8/10 Yuzu & lime tart Their take on meringue pie is composed of a graham crust, yuzu mousse, and a meringue topper with a circle of lemon curd gel. To my taste, there is too much sweet on this plate, needing some balance of tart. But the textures of each component were on point: fluffy meringue, thick lemon gel, dense crust, and substantial yet airy mousse. Torching the meringue at home added a bitter element which I think made the sweetness more palatable. Would have liked the citrus to be more present. 5/10. All in all I would choose other sweets shops at most shopping centers than return here but for drinks this is a pretty good option. read more

Friendly servers and unique Valentine's specials! They offer a wide selection of sweet treats from delicate pastries to gelato, I was surprised by the variety and presentation! - Dubai Chocolate Croissant ($10) !!!! - Flaky exterior with chewy layers, the creamy chocolate filling paired well with the pistachio, wished there a bit more to enjoy together Seating for parties of 2-3 is available in front of the establishment, and cute water bowls for doggos! read more

We had a lot of time to spare since we were waiting for our reservation at Din Tai Fung. We came here for a snack. We ordered the mango bliss and iced berry lemonade. They were both tasty. No complaints. The mango bliss had a smooth texture and was full of flavor. The iced berry lemonade was refreshing. The guy working there was kind and gave us helpful suggestions. There were only two tables outside of the shop but plenty of tables close by. read more

Was on the hunt for matcha at UTC and decided to try the Berry Matcha here! Parfait Paris is hard to miss, spanning a wide corner close to Macy's. No seating inside but a couple of tables were set up outside. I ordered the Berry Matcha with oat milk. It was decent, the berry flavor was on the sweeter side and dominated the matcha flavor. I still enjoyed it while sharing a nutella crepe with a friend (which was delicious, but also hard to mess up otherwise). Overall, if you're looking for matcha that isn't from a boba shop within UTC, Parfait Paris is your best bet. However, if you're not confined to UTC for your matcha endeavors, I'd suggest finding a different spot. read more

It was a hot day after shopping and we were looking for something refreshing. We stopped by parfait Paris to try some of their delicious drinks and macarons. Whilst my sister and I both ordered Iced berry's drink. One lemonade and one matcha. However, it wasn't until after that our server didn't realize they ran out of matcha. Josh was amazing and was able to replace my drink with something more delicious. Was pretty sad they didn't have my drink but Josh gave me a more delicious one. Thank u so much for working hard!! Definitely recommend The energy chiller Berry lemonade And any of the macarons! read more

Macaron tasted like it's been in the fridge for a while. I got the caramel one and it barely tasted like anything. The Lemon meringue tart was ok but somehow was way too sweet even though it was tart - I couldn't finish the whole thing. Service was curt and unwelcoming. There's also barely any seating, with only three tables outside and the owner? took over one of them instead of allowing guests to use them given the limited number of tables. There's better food in this mall than this place. read more

Very frustrating as this was our first time visiting this location. We got a fruitella to go. It took 20 min, wondering how good this would be. After coming home and opening up the box, we found this... This was $11 and totally not worth it. The crepe dough was overcooked, felt like a breakfast burrito and was really thick. The nutella, banana, and strawberry were not enough to the thickness of the crepe. We added some of our own nutella and peanut butter for more taste..I would give it negative stars if I could w this one. read more

Robin and Neth helped us and were cordial and it was great to grab macaroons and lemon yuzu. The shop is small and as an update to my previous post this place gets busy during the weekend. It's a small store front and they are always either super busy or not busy at all. I've been to the other Parfait Paris locations in Del Mar and Coronado and they are all pretty fair. I get why the prices are the way they are because of the location costs. read more

Parfait Paris is a french bakery cafe that opened recently in UTC La Jolla. There are multiple locations in the San Diego area: Gaslamp, Coronado and Del Mar. This cafe is in the Westfield shopping center which offers limited time free parking. While out and about yesterday, I realized I was running on an empty tummy. This cafe offers coffee drinks, sandwiches, gelato and pastries...I wanted a croissant Tartine but the menu mostly offered ham and meats and I wanted something vegan. The menu needs to offer more vegan options. Then I saw all the pastries, I had to order some macarons, which are vegan and my pup Fendi loves them. I'm usually drawn to new creations so I ordered their latest: Chocolate Pecan Tart. It was small, not too sweet and so delectable. The staffer was nice helpful, expeditious and she wore a fresh clean pair of gloves before handling anything yay! A few marble top tables and outdoor only seating to enjoy my treat. Everything would have been perfect had the cafe used silverware and NOT plastic, which lessened the niceness experience. Or at least use compostable utensils made with wood. Even though I've visited other Parfait Paris locations, I feel compelled to review this location because it's new and a welcomed addition to UTC La Jolla. Mes amis, you don't need to jet off to Paris, because Parfait Paris is here and worth a visit. Je recommande! Recommend read more

Parfait Paris is not meant primarily targeted to making quiches, but it was still mildly upsetting to see someone take a quiche from some fridge, reheat it, and serve it. Unsure of where the quiche is sourced, but was disappointing to see out in the open. The quiche itself was fine, but nothing special. read more

Parfait Paris lives up to its claims of serving authentic French bakery goods. Their almond croissant was absolutely delicious and tasted just like the ones I had in Paris. It's crispy and not too sweet and you can totally taste the honey glaze on top of the croissant. The server was lovely and offered to warm up my croissant. They use Lavazza coffee beans for their coffee and it was delicious. My Americano was medium bodied and not acidic at all. I would totally be back to try their other bake goods! read more

I just want to say Thank You to the team here at Parfait Paris, specifically on Thursday night January 2, 2025. You guys are so freaking friendly, gracious and kind, I can't help but still feel so overwhelmingly happy about my interaction that Thursday. My husband, best friend, our little pup and I came to UTC to get some dinner and the viral Dubai chocolate from another vendor, the other vendor sold out so I was a little bummed but my husband saw that you still had the Cookie Croissant so we made our way over. I ended up getting the Dubai pan swiss, crookie and pecan pie New York roll, I had mentioned that it was my bestie's birthday and she offered him a macaron super sweet of her. She noticed Kodiak my pupper and she made him a little pup cup and then another member gave my bestie a piece of chocolate that said Happy Birthday. Seriously such an incredible experience, I usually go to the Liberty Station or Fashion Valley locations because they're closer to me but I love UTC so definitely making more trips up. If you haven't already the crookie, is the absolute BEST pastry from Parfait Paris, it's crazy to have a croissant and cookie hybrid but it is amazing. Not to sweet and the wells perfect with their lattes! Thank you again for such a memorable experience, really turned my day around. read more

I don't normally go out of my way to leave a review but my experience here was just awful. I was excited to bring my mom and sister in to try their desserts after we just ate at marugame. The girl working there on Wednesday 1/28 at 2:56pm was not helpful or nice and had a horrible attitude from the start. I came with my family. When we walked in there was a single person there and he worked at Macy's. As they were just chatting we did not get greeted as we walked in and she didn't say a single word for the 10 minutes we were just standing there. I proceeded to ask if we could order something and she responded with a horrible attitude " I'm helping someone right now" in a rude way. She needs to work on her customer service and the management needs to retrain this girl. We even waited 5 more minutes and she still did not help us. So we walked out and we went over to Venchi next to Nordstrom for dessert instead. They were much nicer to us and helped us through every step. Bad attitude and customer service is what kill a business! read more

My favorite is the four seasons tea with no sugar no ice... but their oolong milk tea was great too. So happy to see them in the US and hope they can expand to Colorado at some point.

Our barista was very helpful in sliding a drink for me to try as it was my first time here. I didn't realize until I watched the activity behind the counter after my order that each cup is brewed individually. This can take a little bit for orders to come out, but it was well worth it. I tried a brown sugar latte decaffeinated, and went with a little less sweet than normal based on the recommendation. It was a beautifully poured latte and quite delicious.

Really nice coffee (high quality beans imo) and pastries (high quality ingredients as well)…read moreGood service And great atmosphere It is usually a bit too crowded and not enough space to work there if you wanna work with your laptop/tablet etc. but a nice coffee shop all in all

We came for a late night coffee to go. I love that it's open late. You can't get a late night…read morecoffee in that many places. Everything sounded good to try. What I love is they had a Ramadan menu. I ordered the date cardamom latte and it was so good. Their Dubai cookie was good also. So tasty and fulfills my Dubai chocolate cravings. The staff was great. I was overwhelmed with the choices and didn't know what to pick. She understood and was ok with me taking my time. She explained the cookies they had. Nice and great customer service. Will definitely be back!

I'll say the cake is tres de leche and yeah its good not too sweet. The cookie is kind of ridiculously priced (it wasn't shown) its like $12 for a cookie that dubai chocolate craze. The coffee is typical kinda latte with a flair of saffron. Overall Thoughts: Best Thing I ate: This cake was like wet cake with a nice solid earl grey frosting Something to Improve: Its all good for what it is please at least for that cookie show me the price haha

Always a great experience at the Capital One UTC cafe. The parking can be difficult in the UTC mall…read moreso suggest walking or taking the transit. The space is cozy and filled with people working/studying on their laptops. Meeting nooks are also available for pre-booking. The people who work there are very friendly and the baristas consistently churn out stellar customer service and tasty drinks. Their matcha is surprisingly good and higher quality than a lot of cafe made matcha. Plus, you get half off drinks with a capital one card!

She saw me struggling to read the menu and showed me the paper version on the counter. I asked her about the cinnamon maple cold foam latte and she said it was really good and assured me it wasn't too sweet. She was so friendly and helpful. It was nice to have such a warm interaction. My drink was ready quickly and she said it was better if you sipped from the top. She was right, it was really good. The cafe was seating was very busy with what I assume is students studying. I found my way to a cushioned nook and enjoyed my latte whilst getting a few things done on my phone. This was a nice visit. I'll be back again for more coffee when I'm in the area again.
