Updated review! My breakfast croissant this time around was perfect. Toasted just right with a balanced amount of Swiss cheese, thinly sliced ham, and creamy scrambled eggs. So perfect for a quick morning treat before hitting the beach. You also cannot beat their location as it overlooks Morro Rock. You can cross the street if you'd like and enjoy your meal outside right on the dock. I'm so grateful they are still open during covid-19 and offering a lot of different sweet & savory treats. read more

Stopped in for a pastry & had to try the egg croissant too! Nom nom. Such tasty treats. Best bakery in this little cove area.

I was planning on making a vegan quiche for company but wasn't feeling well so someone recommended this bakery. Fantastic!!

Picked up a pecan pie and sticky buns the day before Thanksgiving. They were both perfect! Lots to choose from in the display! Definitely worth a trip to see what you can live without! read more

A beautiful pastry shop right on the ocean! I have been here multiple times from Colorado and I will always keep coming back. There is a nice display of pastries, cookies and lots more when you walk in! It's heavenly. I always go away with a big box of pastries and cookies. It's such a nice start to my morning. Also, the cookies have such cute designs and are so fun! They taste so good too! Come here and eat a tasty pastry right on the ocean. read more

This was such a find. We haven't had such good pastries in ages. We had woken up early and sauntered down to it when they opened. There were so many choices. My husband had a chocolate croissant and I got something that was filled with custard and raisins. My husband loved the chocolate croissant so much that he ordered 2 more! A local told us not to miss the cookies so we also left we a bag of them. BURP. read more

This review is for the peanut butter cookie. It's excellent. The desserts, pastries and sandwiches look amazing, too.

We were looking to see if there were any sandwich places in Morro Bay that we hadn't tried yet and this came up. Despite working here and walking/running past here a couple times a week had never stopped in. The immediate impression walking in is that damn, the breakfast pastries look good. Nice seating area, friendly staff and then the menu behind the cashier. We wanted lunch so asked the cashier her preference on non breakfast sandwich. She recommended the hot pastrami, which sounded pretty tasty, so we ordered it. The food came out pretty quick. We walked across the street to enjoy the bay and upon opening the package I was a bit disappointed. The sandwich looked like it only had 2 slices of meat in it. Smelled good though, so figured maybe their pastrami was really rich. Huge let down. This sandwich was overwhelmed by mustard, the lettuce was mostly the thick root end, and the bread was not fresh. Chewy/reheated bread plus very little filling was a terrible deal for $9. Staff is super friendly, nice looking pastries, but definitely avoid the hot sandwiches at the very least. I'll go back to try breakfast and/or cold lunch sandwiches but that was a terrible impression. read more

Found my new favorite breakfast spot. If you're looking for a quick bite for breakfast, this is the spot! Went here on a Saturday at about 9:30am (day after Valentine's Day) and it was fairly busy. With that being said, we placed our order and got our food within 10-15 min. The girl at the counter was very friendly and patient (being how busy it was) and the lady who brought our food (I assume was the owner) was friendly as well. Now the food! WOW!! Just WOW! So fresh and extremely delicious. The croissant on these two were light, buttery and had a perfect crisp to it! Both my husband and I ate every bite and were completely satisfied. They also had a great variety of pastries and desserts but we went mainly for the breakfast croissants. We've been coming to Morro Bay for years and never knew about this place until I found it on Yelp, and I'm so glad we did! Definitely recommend and will DEFINITELY be coming back. read more

Excellent pastries with an even better view. We enjoyed La Parisienne tremendously. Their baked good selection was outstanding - everything from cookies to croissants to breakfast sandwiches. Everything was good. The only miss for us were the merengue balls (merengue coated in buttercream). The merengue tasted great, but the buttercream was a bit too much! Eat inside or out, or just do takeaway. Parking is easy, and the folks helping out behind the counter were lovely. read more

I wish they had half stars bc this place is definitely a breakfast stop. Many different quiches and pastries and cookies. We had sun dried tomato and goat cheese which was delicious. I saw a review that said don't stop at first bakery you see continue down to French Bakery for better selection and better pastries. read more

If you are craving a sandwich, this is not the place to go. This came up as #10 on Yelp under sandwiches in Morro Bay so we decided to check it out. There are several beautiful cakes, pastries, and cookies in the display case and then a large white board menu if sandwiches and other lunch items. We asked for a recommendation between both cold and hot sandwiches and the employee recommended a hot pastrami. The sandwich was mostly bread that tasted day old, slathered in mustard, limp and old tasting lettuce, with a few slices of meat. Left a bad taste and actually made me wish I had gotten a premade $3 sandwich from a gas station you can throw in the microwave. Ambiance and experience: friendly cashier greeted us when we arrived, plenty of seating inside and outside, and only 5-10 minutes wait after we ordered. I'm sure rating would be very different for bakery items, but shouldn't come up under sandwiches or maybe don't serve read more

Really nice people and pastries are great ... but don't go for coffee unless you take it black; they don't have cream, milk, half&half, creamer, or anything to go in it. Not sure why, they were too busy to answer what was up. read more

We took a road trip up the PCH and stopped to check out the sites. Thought we would grab a snack and stumbled into the best strawberry croissant ever! We loved this place so much that when we decided it was the beach for our wedding, we made sure all of our guests from Arizona enjoyed La Parisienne too! We all met for a tasty breakfast and took a box of cookies back for the wedding table. read more

Five stars everything. We have been coming here every time we are in Morro Bay for breakfast everyday. We also tried lunch. We also tried tarts and cakes including for birthdays. Food quality is excellent and you get very friendly service. Coffee drinks are tasty and strong, the way we like it. For breakfast and lunch try their sandwiches and quiches. Personally we like the breakfast egg sandwich, pastrami and smoked salmon....they are great. No negatives, it tends to get busy after 0830, and sometimes they run out of the popular stuff, try to go early or call in your orders. Very scenic location too. Cannot get better than this :) Rufus and Martha read more

Not just a bakery, though their baked good are fantastic! Also great for breakfast or lunch. Best BLTA ever, perfect, crispy bacon on a housemade croissant! Burgandy beef sandwich is hard to beat. Housemade soups. Great breakfast sandwiches and several varieties of quiche. And great coffee. Deborah, the owner and cook is amazing and Mary will help you find the which baked goody suits you best. I'm a lucky local so I get to go too often. read more

Imagine that you get to enjoy a freshly made, buttery croissant and coffee while overlooking the bay...Yep, you are at La Parisienne! I had originally selected a different restaurant, but upon arriving, the wait was long and I took my chances with the place next door. So glad I did! Very reasonably priced, breakfast and lunch menu with many options, seating indoor and outdoors, don't miss this place at Morro Bay! Two big one stall bathrooms. The pace is very clean. It is worth the wait. I ordered two croissant breakfast sandwiches. That other place I was going to? People were still waiting for a table when I left. Please check this place out. We had the delicious ham, spinach, egg and cheese breakfast croissant sandwich and the egg, cheese and bacon breakfast croissant sandwich read more

I've been here before. Never when it opened. Today, I waited outside with others, until they opened, a few minutes late. Upon entry I saw the first display case still had yesterdays baked goods. The 2nd case was empty and I heard a staff member say that the pastries were coming out. The third display case was full of yesterdays pies/tarts all of which had potions removed the day before. I turned and left. Having cut my teeth opening a retail outlet that served fresh perishables, it is ingrained in me that the doors open on time and that the first custome experiences a clean well stocked establishment ready for business. Day old pastry is not what I expect from a Parisienne Pastry Shop. Not being ready to open is not what I expect. Not having your best foot forward when the customer arrives is not what I expect. Yesterdays leftovers should have been pulled the night before by the closer. The display cases should have been filled with fresh product and the coffee fresh, hot , and ready to pour prior to opening time. Possibly the owner can respond with his expectations. read more

The food here is good, but is it worth catching Coronavirus? Nearly a year into Covid, they still don't abide to many basic health rules. Number one, this is a popular spot for tourists, so you'll often see large groups in line with no social distancing. We walked up recently and there were no less than ten people in line. In contrast, Buttercup Bakery is one customer at a time and you wait for your food outsude. Secondly, on at least three occasions, we've seen maskless people behind the counter. It looks like the guy might be the owner, but he's been maskless more than once-- one time he was on the phone next to customers. Like I said, the food is good, no place is worth catching a potentially deadly virus. Skip this place if you value your health. read more

Large selection of bakery treats. We tried their chocolate chip oatmeal, coconut chocolate chip, mint chocolate chip and peanut butter cookies. Everyone had their favorite but mine was the peanut butter cookie. My husband ordered the apricot tart and it was good too. They also offer a full line of coffees but we already had our one cup at another MB coffee shop. Service was good and outside seating is available. read more

By far the best bakery in the whole area. I regularly drive from San Luis Obispo to buy one of their tarts when I have people over. Real French tarts, beautiful and delicious! (the chef is French). They also serve lunch, and their quiches are popular. Birthday coming up? You can order a cake. I had one of the best chocolate ganache birthday cake a while back, but you can pick what you want from a large choice. read more

Amazing food. Pick anything and you will be surprised, in a good way. Our favourites were: Strawberry Croissant, Italian Sandwich and coffee. read more

We drive 3.5 hours just to come here! We tried this place during our first time visiting Morro Bay and it was the HIGHLIGHT of the trip! We tried a lot of pastries usually from the far left case ( the case with all the tarts, fresh fruit pastries, and quiches!). Definitely recommend getting slices of the fruit tarts and quiches! read more

What a wonderful bakery. We had breakfast and ordered a piece of quiche and a breakfast sandwich. The serving sizes were just right - we did not go away hunger and had room for dessert! The strawberry stuffed croissant was to die for. I also bought the oatmeal/caramel cookies and wish I would have bought one of each cookie they had available. read more

My favorite go to for breakfast croissants, quiche, soup, burgers, and speciality sandwiches. The baguettes are so fresh an soft and the croissant are big an flaky. Baked fresh daily. Not to mention the fruit tarts and desserts. Very reasonable prices. read more

Sad to get croissants with a perfectly decent texture, but without any trace of butter. No doubt the owner thinks we can't tell, but it's not even an option. The quiche isn't bad, I haven't had much else because of the croissant disappointment. read more
