I was helped by this wonderful young woman, who told me that I absolutely needed to try the almond croissant. By boy oh boy, was I not disappointed! The layers appeared to go on forever. The soft almond cream in the middle was just delightful. Not overpowering, but just enough. Honestly, it was the type of croissant that I want to eat again and again. All things considered, yes, 100%, I'd go back, and I'm looking forward to my next visit!

The first hour is free and every 30 minutes after is $6, which is very crazy to me.. Upon entry, you immediately get drawn to all the colorful desserts that look too yummy to consume. That is the selling point of this place. The service is good but nothing that was out of the ordinary. It is a small little shop located on the third floor. taste: there is a total of four of us and we got two of the little ice cream creams. I didn't realize that there was like at least nine pieces in each pint. The four of us could've shared one pint. The ice creams were good, but the inside didn't seem like full fat ice cream, the insides for some was more icy than I would've wanted. My teeth are not usually sensitive but after I popped one in, my teeth kinda hurt. We were there for the cake so by the time we finished all the ice cream we really didn't have that much room. I ordered the tiramisu cake and my friend got the tiramisu. I thought the cakes were really yummy. I would suggest to have them refrigerated, if you're not gonna eat them immediately. We left it out for at least 30 mins before we ate the cakes, and they were not as tasty probably because of the room temperature. I love the mousse inside of the cakes. I thought there would be actual cake, but there weren't any inside. I only would want to come back to try the other flavors of cakes, but other than that, I don't think this will be a frequent destination.

Not to be dramatic: There's good chocolate cake, and then there's really good chocolate cake. This…read moreis the latter. This is the place to go in San Diego if you want a slice of luxury without the guilt. In short: get Le Signature, Le Noisette for a nutty flavor, and if they have it, The London Cake (think chocolate and caramel; currently obsessed with this one!!). Tip: Store cakes in a cold/cool place if not eaten immediately especially during a heatwave summer or you'll learn the hard way. Best eaten with unsweetened hot coffee. Here's the long review: Parfait Paris has been consistent with their cakes; I've been visiting them every time whenever I'm close to one for about 2 years. There are multiple locations; I've been to Carmel/Del Mar; Coronado, and Fashion Valley. I don't really stay to eat; I usually grab a couple of slices (avg price is $13/slice) and slowly savor it at home with black coffee. All I can say is that this bakery knows their flavors and textures. The bakery offers pastries, macarons, and other desserts but if you're undecided, get the cake. Esp if you love (like really love) chocolate. I've stuck to 2 cakes: Le Signature- has a light chocolate mousse filling with a shortbread crust and dark chocolate glaze. Le Noisette- an employee there once told me it was like a Ferrero Rocher but a cake version. Accurate description but so understated. The mousse filling is chef's kiss. The monthly special: The London Cake: it's definitely an upgraded version of a dark chocolate cake. Filled whipped caramel filling and chocolate cream; it was balanced and sweet but not in a way that makes your teeth scream. This is the cake that had me question all the chocolate cakes I've had in my life; and the one where I go back the next day, like literally drive the extra mile(s), to get another slice. A little bias here but I've tried the mango bliss cake in the past. Decent flavors and texture as described but not as impressed as their chocolate ones. I've had my fair share of eating lots of (chocolate) cake in SD and LA; this place is def always on my list.

It has real hazelnuts, hazelnut cream, and dark chocolate mix with hazelnut at the bottom. 10/10! And it's not too sweet either. Then I tried the savory croissant. It's a September special.

It is located in Solana Beach , beautiful open setting with outdoor seating right next to gorgeous fountain. They have a nice size parking lot next to it. We got the Opera and Pistachio flavors and honestly it was really really good, both were super tasty, very quality. It had a creamy milky thick texture to it and it wasn't overly sweet like American ice cream but it was definitely sweet and delectable - fine dining / upscale dessert vibes. Of course this is top-tier gelato, with a rich and creamy consistency, bursting with flavor. The part that impressed me the most is their variety in flavors. They had many different great flavors to choose from with few that are rotating, so it's great to try new ones. They also have vegan options too. The employees are extremely friendly and assist with suggestions for flavor combinations. We have felt very welcomed and appreciated. Honestly this is the best gelato in Encinitas , Solana Beach and we highly recommend it!

I'm happy that this Gelato 101 exists, and I wish Gelato 101 well with reopening in Encinitas.

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.

Go Greek Yogurt! Go crazyyyy!…read more Go Greek has finally made it's way south and as a self proclaimed yogurt enthusiast, I could not be more excited. They've married two of my favorite yogurt forms- Greek yogurt and frozen yogurt. I tried out their Plain Tart and their Greek Honey flavors along with a few toppings (they have the usual spread you'd see at froyo shops). Plain Tart is always a classic, but the Greek Honey was something else! I loved the touch of sweetness along with the sour twist. SO good. The texture of this is a definitely thicker and creamier than your traditional froyo. A side note: this place can get prettyyyy pricey and they do charge by weight.

How did my bowl that wasn't filled to the brim cost $14?! Not worth visiting if you don't have a gift card or discounts. There isn't seating inside but plenty outside among the businesses.

DECADENT SLICE OF CAKE (5 stars)…read more Better than Extraordinary Dessert's slice of cakes. If you see this vendor, do make the effort to secure yourself a slice, or two, or three. I discovered them in Oceanside although their kitchen is in Sorrento Valley area. It's an independently operated "mom and son" kind of business! CHOCOLATE GANACHE CAKE (~$9?) - this was the perfect decadent slice of cake. Moistness, texture, fluff, sweetness, to presentation. I enjoyed every bite and wish I had another slice right after. The moistness, fluff, and bounciness of the cake's texture showed proof of freshly baked, n point baked times, and the magic touch of Nora. It wasn't too sweet yet carried that chocolate ganache sweetness through and through without nerving a person from getting tired of the flavor.
