Came for the almond croissants based on the good reviews. Unfortunately, though service was good, the croissants were very disappointing. Not sure they were freshly made that morning since we were the first customers. The croissants were kind of soggy, wet, no crisp to the layers.

In an effort to find the best almond croissant, I always seek one out when I travel and I am SO glad I found one here. This takes the cake for the best on my list so far. I even returned on the way to the airport to pick up a few and fly back with them! Great staff and great outdoor seating, too.

Great place for breakfast/lunch and also to get some work done. We liked this place so much on our trip that we had lunch here 3 days in a row! The first two days we had excellent service and the girl at the register was so sweet. For food, I’d definitely recommend their crepes or the lunch special. The coffee was also delicious!

Best breakfast/brunch Ive had in a while. We were referred by a French resident to try this place. We ended up eating breakfast there everyday. Everything on the menu is so delicious.

I tried their Le Basque breakfast croissant and it was so flaky and delicious, their iced white-mocha was amazing! one of the best I’ve had in a while. The lemon cheesecake was so good! and best of all their patio is dog friendly! I definitely recommend Le Parfait Paris! I had a wonderful experience and will definitely be back.

Nice place to hangout and relaxed with the music. Nice decoration and its menu is full of many good options to have dessert and a beverage to accompany it. I had the Lavender Honey Latte cold and it as really good. My husband shared with me his Strawberry Crepe and it was good. Definitely will make it the place to chill out after havin lunch in there or coming from another place.

Everything was great. A nice quiet Cafe, the employees were nice. The gentlemen who helped me today gave me a suggestion on having the hot turmeric tea instead of the cold, and it was a great choice.The ambience was also nice. I loved the design. Lots of plants and enough light. It was very comfortable.Things were very clean and the bathroom was clean and organized as well.The batista brought me a lovely drink and all my questions were answered. It was a great time and I would love to adopt this place into my self care days.

7-5-21:Tried the raisin cinnamon danish and was very pleasantly surprised by how delicious the danish tasted!Even though I bought it at 2pm, there was still a flakiness to the pastry. Raisins were soft and didnt seem old.Would have loved to have tried the almond croissant... but they were sold out. Next time!

If you dont get anything else absolutely get the chocolate mousse dessert. I was so enthralled by the beautiful dessert case that I didnt remember any of the dessert names but I have pictures. The giant raspberry macaroon with raspberries and cream inside is 🤌. The fruit tart is incredible and should be eaten fresh. And finally the chocolate mousse dessert is just the highlight of perfection. Not only is it also beautiful and fancy but so decadent.Definitely recommend a stop into the Public Market and finding them right inside for the desserts!

My wife and I decided to come here for brunch after looking at the pictures and reading some of the reviews. The location is great, indoor and outdoor seating areas were nice, the drinks (mocha and capuccino) were great, but the food was disappointing.The poached eggs in the Eggs benedict were basically boiled and not runny at all (as they should be in an Eggs Benedict). The crust underneath the eggs was a croissant instead of an English muffin which is fine but odd. Also, the potatoes were spicy enough to be inedible.We also had a very disappointing Croque Madame where the bechamel sauce was plain melted cheese and the bread was too thick for the other ingredients. For $16 a piece, we expected much better.Overall not a good value for the money.

We beat the rush and got seats pretty quickly, if theres a line its not as easy a task. We ordered french toast with all toppings on the side, but didnt get the toppings when the meal was brought out - it could have been missed when the order was taken but it was still a little bit of a bummer. The Nutella crepe was tasty and the drinks were lovely!

Giardelli’s loss was Le Parfait’s gain. My daughter, wife and friends wanted ice cream and Giardelli’s ice cream section was closed, so we landed here. They enjoyed their parfaits and I my tiny coffee w/vanilla ice cream.

The staff were helpful and polite, even at 9pm. We ordered a handful of desserts to give this place a decent sampling our first time. Everything looked amazing. The flavors were a tad lackluster when considering the price of everything. The chocolate almond croissant was the favorite. The macarons were also quite tasty.The one big problem we ran into was the fruit in our raspberry tart was moldy. Several of the raspberries had very visible mold throughout.

Service is so slow the server are unprofessional we been waiting for our food 30 minutes the customers came after us,they got their food first .when they were standing in line for order food, we already older food and wait at the table. Someone came to fixed the restroom, I asked if they are temporary close for now or all day? She answer it close all day They even told me to go use the restroom another restaurant across the street. The Repair Man finish and Walk Out so I asked him if he already finished so he say yes but I feel like any of them will tell me the restroom already been fixed, I was Wrong No One come tell me anything. So Im not sure that they are not professional or they are discrimination. Look at the food that we order nothing fancy but it took like 30 minutes to wait for food

Divine deliciousness! This perfect little bakery is home to my all time favorite desert. Always fresh, their deserts never ever disappoint! If youre in the area, be sure to stop by - they also offer coffee and other delicious treats!

Review №25

Its too expensive. There isnt anything outstanding in their desserts, Ive tasted better. Maybe its considered a delicacy to some due to the shape of the pastry or simply because people havent eaten a wide variety of desserts and arent familiarized with what good pastries taste like.Upon our arrival they told us they didnt have any food on the menu and what was only left was what was on the counter, and it was barely 2:00 p.m, How do you run out of food and only offer macarons? And they only had coffee to offer. There is nothing wrong with running out of food due to how good it is but this place isnt good, some of the pastries tasted like some pastries offered at your local market in the bakery section, they have to be prepared even when they run out,that way theyll show professionalism. I was really looking forward to this place, but I was disappointed.I dont recommend this place. It isnt worth it.

Happened upon this restaurant while looking for a place to get authentic French macarons for a coworker. Reviews looked great so while I was there I picked up a sandwich for lunch and some bread to take home. LORD this food is good! Such a great little spot, and prices are so reasonable! Can’t wait to come back!

Review №28

This experience was not the best. The items we ordered did not taste as if they were French. We asked for crepes and the young man informed us that they ran out. Basically the fellas did not want to do their work. Try another dessert spot - the prices are way too high for the quality of food.

I love this place! Dominique Ansel’s used to be where I’d get all my French pastries, but sadly they closed. I didn’t think I’d ever find somewhere as good, but this place is! I had a pistachio tart and a mille feuille with a watermelon cocktail. They were divine, I highly recommend! The outdoor dining is lovely and they have very limited seating inside. They also ship macarons!

Review №31

I bought a handful of macaroons; so many to choose from! I also bought a cheesecake slice and chocolate croissant because why limit yourself when you are staring at all those delicious pastries. They were so delicious! The macaroons were delightful and the chocolate croissant was so soft and chocolatey. I will be having my cheesecake slice for dessert. Go for yourself and try their delicious pastries, so yummy!

Crepes and breakfast sandwich was delicious. Customer service absolutely horrible. We ordered at counter, left a 20% tip for four of us. Ordered four waters and never received. Ask twice for our water and once again never delivered. Staff hardly says a word. Find another location if you want even good service because this place sure doesnt provide it.

Wonderful, small, cozy breakfast spot! Ignore the lines and crowds, and just come here foryour weekend breakfast! Delicious menu and almost everything comes on a flaky but moist croissant! We enjoyed it so much that we went 2 weekends in a row! Super friendly servers and a wonderful patty selection to take home your dessert! Delicious Americano too. We definitely need to go back for lunch and for crepes.

This is the place for anyone with a sweet tooth! Deserts were delicious and the mimosas as well! I had brunch but the food was not as great as desserts. It is pricey a meal for two( egg Benedict and chicken sandwich), 3 mimosas, 1 Moscow mule, two coffees, and dessert $189 The service was amazing our server was very friendly and welcoming. The atmosphere is friendly we say at the patio section.

One of my favorite cafes for delicious desserts and lunch! Perfect for a picnic spread. Their salmon crepe was wonderful!

Always friendly service! Thank you for continually offering curbside pickup.

Absolutely amazing experience today. Each item was out of this world. So delicate yet full of such intense flavor. My husband purchased the Le Framboisier, Honey Lavender Macarons, and Earl Gray Macarons. They did an absolutely lovely job packaging the items for transport and the design of the bag is so cute! Service was phenomenal. I cannot wait to make a second visit!

I came across this place while walking downtown in Gaslamp Quarter. The inside was nice and quiet and decorated very well. The staff was helpful and friendly which is a plus. They have so many options to choose from I had the croissant and Rose’ sangria and my daughter had the macaroons and mango juice. Everything was great and fresh. You have the option to dine inside or you can enjoy your meal outside which is nicely setup. I will definitely be coming back.

The only place I truly recommend out of all restaurants we tried out during our 4 days stay. I ordered the avocado 3 toast flight for breakfast and each was put to gather beautifully and tasted out of this world and different. The coffee also is amazing, not too acidic. We went to the downtown San Diego location 555 G st downtown San Diego . Very clean, professional staff good food, beautiful cozy setting.... you will not regret it, ypu will remember it as a highlight of your trip or day spent downtown. Highly recommend it. !20 stars if I could do it

Great food and pastries but awful customer service. We sat at a table right before the bar and waited good 15 minutes, one of the serves told us I will be right with you and 10 more minutes passed. While a server at a cash register kept serving people who were walking in. Once I approached the cash register, I was told Oh, we dont serve at table, you have to order here. Seriously!!!!??? 25 minutes the staff saw us sitting there and didnt bother to let us know about their service. The place wasnt busy BTW.

I waited at least 45 minutes in line to just order a croissant and coffee. i thought the line would move fast because it really wasn’t very long. everybody in line was frustrated and it was clear everyone in the restaurant was receiving very poor service. when i got to the front, the cashier informed me that the kitchen was closed for 20 minutes. i got my croissant. proceeded to wait 15 minutes for my one iced coffee and gave up when i saw the barista had begun making crepes instead. i left without my $5 coffee and a pretty good croissant. no hate on any of the servers or workers, i think it was just crazy understaffed.

We were looking for a nice brunch spot on a cloudy day - what we found was an inexperienced waiter (first day?) who didnt seem familiar with the menu and mixed up our order. They had to change our order three times because they were out of menu items. The food arrived about an hour later.We got the lobster toast which was alright but dry - certainly not worth the price.A ratatouille Benedict with overcooked poached eggs and completely raw eggplant. (We asked for the sauce on the side and that didnt happen either). One side dish was completely left out.One star for a nice salmond crepe and halfway decent croissant.Not worth the price of admission or the time.

My daughter is obsessed with all things Paris so when this came up as a nearby stop for dessert I knew there was no getting around that! Its very elegant from the outside. Inside its very contemporary and beautiful. I have to say, there wasnt much of a dessert selection. Being from Europe, Im used to lots of pastries especially of the French variety. We all ended up having an assortment of macaroons (strawberry, raspberry, lavender, mango passion fruit, chocolate, and white chocolate vanilla bean) between the three of us. Macaroons are hit or miss for me. I personally loved the texture of the macaroon and the consistency of the filing. The raspberry was my favorite followed by the powdered strawberry. I didnt care for the white chocolate or lavender one. My mom grabbed a cappuccino and it was a little strong for me but good otherwise. We sat outside and enjoyed the sun and breeze while we ate our treats. A bit on the pricy side (about $25 for 7 macaroons and a coffee) but the macaroons were a good size. It was good but probably wont go back unless my daughter really wants macaroons.

Very reserved from the outside, easy to miss if youre not looking. However, inside is tastefully decorated, modern with a splash of comfy. Service is exceptional, the lady with the French accent was icing on the cake. The cappuccino was delicious, the temperature was perfect. My husband loved the lavender honey latte! The desserts are amazing, not overly sweet, perfect size after a good dinner. The selection is enough to make you want to come back and try more. My only critique is the broken macaroons in the case.

Le Parfait Paris is great. The macarons are plentiful, varied, and all delicious. The Parfait Signature is amazing. The staff is real friendly and helpful. The atmosphere is very welcoming and chic. They have a few outdoor tables and serve alcohol, I think this would be an excellent place for a date. I cannot recommend Le Parfait Paris enough, go there. A true gem of San Diego.
