They have baked goods as well as sandwiches u can order. Someone will ask u if u want baked goods first then u go down the counter to order drinks and sandos. Got the everything mochi bagel with cream cheese and the egg & chicken katsu sando. Everything mochi bagel 5/5: so fluffy and light yet still tastes like a bagel. Can be a lil salty on the top where the salt is but contrast with parts that dont have it. Egg sando 5/5: yummy and filling, has cucumber and the milk bread is thick and so fluffy! Chicken katsu sando 5/5: my favorite. I love the spicy mustardy sauce not sure if it's in the actual brown katsu sauce or separate mustard. My bf didnt like it but i loved it! Chicken also juicy and soft. The milk bread is so fluffy and lil sweet and perfect pairing. Interior has lots of tables and seating and they they also have an outdoor patio and they clean the tables frequently which is nice. Recommend!

Quick and modern is what they're going for from what I can see, and I don't think you can mess up ordering anything here. Im almost certain I'm adding this to my growing San Diego list, just so that I can try more savory pastries

If you're in the La Jolla area, you must come visit!…read more Their black forest pastry is one of the best pastries I have ever had. The outside was buttery and flaky, and as soon as I bit into it, dark, rich chocolate oozed out with a nice cherry finish. This bakery seems more designed for to-go orders. There are benches for customers to sit at, but no tables.

I came for the instagram cinnamon bun and walked away liking it the least…read more This trendy bakery had delicious pastries far beyond what some "IG influencers" show. To start off: - Salted Chocolate Chip Cookie: the only thing I would come back for. Proportionately large, delicious, and only $4. Best bang for your buck! - Kouign Amann: incredibly flakey and just sweet enough. A must order if you're here. - Tomato & White Cheddar Tile: my second favorite, it was quite savory and flavorful! - Cinnamon Bun: my least favorite, which is surprising. It was as advertised, a cinnamon bun, but it just didn't blow me away.

This place is properly named extraordinary dessert for a reason. They are known for their desserts…read moreboth in taste and in aesthetics. Desserts: 5/5 We got a blood orange scone and a strawberry danish. The scone was warm and delicious. The orange essence was well infused. The danish was crispy and creamy. Everything was so picturesque. Food: 3/5 Unfortunately, the food was not the best. We got the smoked salmon sandwich which was not very flavorful. The salmon was also slimy. The pesto spread was good though. It was creamy and the artisan bread it was served had great variety. Ambiance: 5/5 This place is such super cute. When you walk in, the desserts all look super appetizing. The seating areas are super cute and the floral decor are stunning. Service: 5/5 It is an order then sit down establishment. There is great attention to their dessert. I saw them heat up a knife just to cleanly cut the cake. The food service however did take some time to come out.

I go here often enough to make reviews on specific items...lol…read more I highly suggest ordering the grilled cheese and tomato soup special if you like cheese and tomatoes. There is nothing like tasting a real, pureed vegetable in a veggie soup. If it started out canned, I wouldn't have known it (not that I'm saying that), and you have to like cheese because you get a thick, melted, and stringy cut on sourdough bread, toasted perfectly to hold up to dipping in the soup. On a warm day, this dish goes great with an IPA or chilled white wine.

Yiko Yiko has some of the best desserts in SD, especially when it comes to their mochi!…read more We've tried quite a few of their mochi snowball options, and they're always so chewy, soft, and flavorful. The fruit flavors are also made with fresh fruit, which is a plus. We stop by sometimes to pick up a box of 4-6 as gifts for our friends, and it's always a hit. Their crepe cakes are also really tasty and not too sweet. We really like the basque, vanilla, and strawberry flavors. The desserts here are a bit on the pricier side, but the quality and presentation are worth the splurge.

After eating way too much savory food in San Diego, we needed something sweet to balance things…read moreout, so we stopped by Yiko Yiko for dessert. The shop is super cute and offers individual cakes that are the perfect size to share... or keep all to yourself--I won't judge! My sister and I shared the mango cake, and it was delicious. The cake was light and fluffy with fresh mangoes layered between whipped cream. I also loved that it wasn't overly sweet. The crunchy waffle cone crumbles on top added a nice texture and made each bite even better. We also wanted to try the mango mochi balls, but we got there later in the evening and someone bought the last order right before we checked out. Talk about bad timing! We ended up trying the matcha mochi balls instead. I'm personally not a matcha fan, so they weren't for me, but if you enjoy matcha, you'll probably like them. My sister was more than happy to finish them for me. Next time I'll definitely come earlier so I can snag the mango mochi before someone else beats me to it! Overall, Yuki Yuki is a cute dessert spot with light, delicious cakes that are the perfect ending to a great meal. I'll definitely be back.

Love what this bakery stands for with representing different chefs, cultures and pastry styles via…read morea rotating pastry chef every few months. Located a couple blocks off of Balboa park which is nice if you want to get a pastry/coffee and walk over. Items are pricier but the flavors are worth it. I came on a weekday right before open and there was already a line so you want to make sure you get there early if you want all of the selection. Right now they have a chef from Hawaii! The whole menu looked amazing but I only got a couple so I'll definitely have to be back. I got the hojicha oatmeal whoopie pie and the apricot ricotta cheesecake croissant. The whoopie pie was hefty! Two big oatmeal cookies filled with marshmallow meringue. The hojicha flavor was a little light for me but the actual cookie was delicious and I liked the oatmeal texture. The apricot croissant was amazing! I've never had a ricotta cheesecake and I loved how much lighter it was than the traditional. The plum marmalade was a nice sweet/tart contrast too. Service was fast and friendly. Definitely worth checking out.

I love the idea of bringing together different chefs and small local businesses under one roof…read more The food was good, and I liked what I ordered, but I did find it a bit pricey for the portion and overall experience. While everything was enjoyable, I wouldn't say the food was outstanding enough to justify the cost. That said, it's still a great place to explore, support local businesses, and try a variety of cuisines in one visit. I'd come back to check out some of the other vendors.

I was craving a buttery and flaky croissant and coffee, so I decided to check out Bonjour Bakery &…read morePatisserie in Little Italy. It was very conveniently located to the Inn we were staying in, so it was a great way for us to start the day after checking out the Sunday farmers market nearby. The place itself is small and intimate. They have a few tables inside but they were all full. They had a couple of tables outside as well, so we ended up sitting there. I got the almond croissant and their vanilla cold foam latte. It was the last one they could make that day, so I was very lucky! The croissant was buttery and delicious, as I expected and the almond filling was not overwhelming or too sweet. It paired beautifully with my vanilla cold foam latte. They had a nice variety of both sweet and savory pastries, but I didn't have enough time to go back and try them. Next time for sure!

Saw bonjour on someones post and since I was in San Diego I wanted to try them out…read more This location is in downtown near little Italy. Parking can be a bit hard here, there is a parking lot next door to it but you have to pay and their minimum was $25. So if you can find street parking snag it right away. When we walked up, it was a busy sunday morning. They have both indoor and outdoor seating here so that's pretty convenient. I wanted to try a couple of different croissants so we ordered the plain, chocolate and ham and cheese. I wish I asked them to warm up the ham and cheese. I think it would've turned out better. I really enjoyed the chocolate and my boyfriend enjoyed his plain croissant. The team here is very attentive. They definitely clean the tables right away ready for the next patron which I appreciate. Great spot to try while visiting San Diego.

I went to an event yesterday that was catered by Parisian Gourmandises. I wish I took pictures…read morebecause the spread was incredible. The was a table with quiche, bagels, lox, cream cheese, and two types of salads. Another space had multiple tarts and large fresh fruit platters. And finally one last spot had fresh cooked salmon covered in pistachios. The chef and staff were amazing. They took time to explain to guests what each item was if they had questions. Last but not least they are a kosher kitchen. If you need kosher fare this is the place! The store itself is tucked away and has amazing pastries as well.

5/11/2026 CHOCO CHIP…read morePISTACHIO COOKIE Wow! This was reeeeally good! It was crispy on the outside and slightly chewy on the inside. Lots of chocolate and I think they added toffee in it too. The middle section had pistachio frangipane (or it looked like it) with coarsely chopped pistachios that brought another layer of crunch! Then to top it all off, it had pistachio cream on top of the cookie! I only wish I got another one. CAPPUCCINO It was okay. But love the foam! It was frothy and foamy! PAVLOVA The meringue was a bit too hard and too sweet and the pastry cream was overwhipped. Loved the fresh fig and blueberries though. I was looking forward to eating pavlova and this was very disappointing! KOUIGN AMANN Very buttery and sticky! Crispy on the outside. Every bite was not dry, but chewy. There was this sticky and chewy texture that wasn't unpleasant, yet it wasn't fully flaky like a croissant. But glad it was not dry! The kouign amann was not as tall like others I've tried, but I preferred it this way because it was not dry. The last kouign amann I had from Bread Lounge was dryyyy. But bought mine at a coffee shop too. PAIN AU CHOCOLAT Crispy on the outside, but I must have toasted a bit more, so the outside was a bit more toasted than desired. Inside was good. Good dark chocolate. BUTTER CROISSANT Really buttery, flaky, crispy! Ate it next day, so reheated it in the toaster oven to bring a more crispness all around. Really enjoyed this! Adding butter and jam is so good! LEMON MERINGUE Meringue had a strong eggy smell and flavor, the lemon was tangy, but not enough to rid of the eggy smell and flavor. The tart was hard and almost stale. I took a few bites and threw the rest out. PAIN SUISSE Chocolate flavor. Crispy on the outside, fluffy like a light spongy cake inside. Enjoyed this! CUSTOMER SERVICE Got there early afternoon. There was only one person in front of me. Good service overall. Quick service. Hits and misses of the various pastries I've tried. It will not deter me from trying their pastries though, as the really good ones were really good! Would love to return! Especially for that Choco Chip Pistachio Cookie! LOCATED INSIDE ANOTHER STORE Located inside a store called Floral Palette, which is a floral shop and specialty gift store. Beautiful store! The sign is big, so you cannot miss it!
