    It was such a nice surprise to discover a new French bakery in the Del Mar Plaza area. Paris En…read moreRose is perfectly situated among charming boutique shops, making it an easy and inviting stop. I was especially happy to be greeted by Keegan and Shaw. Both individuals were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and genuinely hospitable. The selection of French pastries and drinks was impressive. I ordered the Rieme lemonade along with a couple of butter croissants, and everything was delicious. The multigrain and olive bread loaves were also very tempting and will definitely be on my list next time. Overall, the prices were very reasonable, the quality was excellent, and the experience was delightful. I'll absolutely be back

I really enjoyed the cinnamon roll made with croissant dough and to be honest, the pain eu chocolate wasn't the freshest I've had, but I still enjoyed it OK. I wouldn't order that again, but I would definitely get the cinnamon roll again. That was one of the best ones I've had. I loved that it was made from croissant dough, which made it lighter and more flaky than most cinnamon rolls. I have high standards for croissants as I've been to France many times. :) The view that I got to enjoy these watching while sitting outside, made it such a great experience. I balanced my sweets with a cold refreshing iced Americano, and I would like to come back to try the Nutella danish. The service was great. There was a sweet girl working that helped me and allowed me to take my time looking.

The shop is tucked into a quiet corner of the center and has a clean, cozy, slightly nostalgic feel to it. Everything looked well kept and inviting, and the cookie display definitely pulls you in. The cashier was genuinely friendly and welcoming, which always makes the experience better. We ordered the classic chocolate chip and the Dubai cookie. Both were really well done with soft centers, great texture, and not overly sweet. You can taste the quality of the ingredients, especially the chocolate. The Dubai cookie stood out with its richer, more indulgent flavor, but the classic chocolate chip was just as satisfying. An easy spot to pop into for a treat while shopping or to grab cookies to-go. Simple, quality cookies done right.

I love how you can see their baking space through the large plate glass window behind the register area. The girl at the counter was super sweet, well groomed, very knowledgeable about the cookies and process to make some of their cookies and was so patient with all the questions my elderly mother and myself asked. I can't remember her name but she was there on Monday 12/29 around 4 or 5pm. I only wish they had sugar free options made with Monkfruit!!!

Every Sidecar doughnut is made from scratch and fresh every hour! And they only use the finest ingredients! Highly recommend the huckleberry 10/10! You can never go wrong with an old fashioned 9/10! But my all time seasonal favorite is the passion fruit 11/10! Pure deliciousness!!!! I also tried the banana iced latte for the very first time- so good! Prices are high, but totally worth every penny! The quality of ingredients and service is absolutely amazing! The vibe is sleek, quaint and colorful! And the staff are so friendly and welcoming! It's about a 25-30 min drive from my house, but totally worth it for the freshest doughnuts in town!

The small shop was busy and had a decent crowd, but the service was so good that everyone was taken care of relatively quickly. I got a variety of donuts and so did my friend, everything looked mouthwatering (despite us being full from dinner). I really want to come back again soon, all the donuts were really really good, fresh, and lasted me over the span of a couple of days (assuming stored well).

The girl told me…read moreabout it and my eyes lit up and I wanted it so bad, but my friend Perla said, "No, we got to go!" Not the best thing to have right before Pilates. The next time we went was after Pilates and I asked my friend if she wanted to share it and she agreed this time! I was so excited to try it! The owner was very sweet she let us try samples of the new marshmallow ice cream that they are testing out. It was so good! I ordered the sumptuous special with frozen hot chocolate. She made it aesthetically pleasing. They asked how I wanted it and I said picture perfect! Watching her make it was so fun and jaw dropping. I was in such awe! The marshmallow alone was so amazing to watch! It was so good and made with such good ingredients. I did share a bit with my friend, but boy I had basically the whole thing to myself and it was perfect. The frozen hot chocolate was bittersweet too. So it was balanced with the cookie, marshmallow, and cream. The perfect amount of sweetness for me. It was pricey, but it was worth it! Well worth it to try it at least once! I am absolutely coming back again!

I am a cookie feen and these cookies quite literally stopped me in my tracks. The Scarlet letter cookie .... Just get one. In my case I get at least 4 of these each time I go. The most imporant thing in any cookie is the actual dough and theirs is always the perfect balance of buttery and sweet! I despise dry crumbly cookies and these never even come close. They are all so good! The staff has alway been very nice and when I have gone it is never outrageously busy. Worth the detour everytime.

    (editing to add this is a French-owned and Black-owned business, in case folks are looking!)…read more I usually come here when I'm doing errands on Cedros - and I usually just want to get my français on and order a café crème and a croissant. But today I needed a little extra je ne sais quoi because my morning was annoying, so I decided to splurge on lunch and not just a pastry here. I asked Steve, the (très beau et gentille!) co-owner what the quiche of the day was. There were two: one with jambon (ham) and one with épinards et fromage de chèvre (spinach and goat cheese). When I hesitated, he told me that the spinach one was amazing. Even though it's $20 for a quiche plate, I decided to go for it. I thought I was going to get a sad little quiche slice for that amount and might regret it. But OMG, it was more than worth it! Already they have a lovely patio on this pretty street in this fancy design district. But it was also a HUGE and exceptionally savory rectangular slice, alongside a DELECTEABLE petite salade. I asked Steve what mustard they use in the vinaigrette, and he said plain old Dijon - but the proportions and the seasoning were EXCELLENT. So it was salad perfection, not heavily dressed at all, just delightful. The patio was full on a Friday with ladies who lunch - but did that include me, as a solo diner, since I am a lady who had lunch? I'm not sure, but you can feel comfortable here no matter what. And now I know Madeleine Cafe is much too good to just come for coffee and for ordering in French from Steve or his co-owner Emmanuel. I don't want to spend that much for lunch every day - but I'll be back!

    I found street parking right in front of the bakery, which was super convenient. There was a short…read moreline to order food and drinks, but it moved quickly. After ordering, you grab a table in the patio area and they bring your food out when it's ready. I ordered the Chicken Pesto Tartine and substituted the sourdough for a baguette. It came with a side salad, and everything was delicious. I especially loved the dressing on the salad. The portion was perfect for me. Service was great, and I definitely plan on going back!
