Matcha croissant (with standout matcha cream inside) strawberry croissant, bacon and shiso twist, cream filled buns, matcha kinako donut, curry pan (hefty curry to bread ratio was a winner, not saucy, but full of flavor). As the saying goes, it wasn't "too sweet" so it was delish!! IYKYK. And yes, I had a bite of everything. Surprisingly the hojicha lattes were standout as well. I wasn't expecting such a deep nutty flavor from a green tea brew, new fan. Cute spot, parking is tricky, but worth the stop.

Then the strawberry pistachio croissant was so fluffy and soft like the cinnamon loaf bread and the kouign amann is apparently one of their most popular breads. The blueberry almond financier was rly moist inside, rly good and outside was crisp. The cinnamon bun was actually soft and flaky biting into it. Possibly my favorite one. However for the chocolate croissant, I tasted most of the croissant, not much chocolate. Gotta go there early in order to get the breads you want (for the cinnamon pull apart loaf bread it serves at 11 am) but this is one of my favorite bakeries ever!

From photos, the bakery looks cute! We tried the peach and vanilla tile, kouign amann, strawberry pistachio croissant, and the ham and cheese croissant. The kouign amann had an interesting burnt caramelized crunch on top. The croissant didn't have a very strong pistachio or strawberry flavor, but the texture was decent. My favorite pastry was the peach and vanilla tile, as the peaches were sweet and refreshing and complemented the vanilla well.

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.

Super cutesy vibe and pretty delicate desserts. Almost reminds me of Nothing Bundt Cake interior with merch, candles, gifts, flowers.

I got the earl gray lavender cupcake and black sesame matcha Hojicha drink and lychee hibiscus tea drink. The cupcake was moist, not too sweet, had some grittiness to it from the seeds. Tasted the earl gray and lavender combo. It was delicious, I could have ate the entire thing but had to share the other half. There were a few tables outside but none inside.

I'd been seeing Atelier Flour all over Instagram, so I decided to stop by and see what the hype was…read moreabout. I ordered the Island Girl Coffee, a macadamia latte, and asked for it less sweet. To me, it tasted very similar to a flavored hazelnut latte from Starbucks. Even with reduced sweetness, it was still sweeter than I prefer and had a slightly artificial flavor. If you enjoy flavored Starbucks-style coffee, you'll probably like it, but it's just not my personal preference. I actually didn't finish my drink because the flavor wasn't for me. That said, the cashier was very sweet, and the dessert display looked beautiful and tempting. While the coffee didn't win me over, I'd still come back to give their desserts a try since they looked much more appealing than the drink I ordered. Overall, a nice spot with friendly service, but next time I'll be skipping the flavored coffee and trying one of the desserts instead.

My husband and I opted to get the mochi for dine in and a black sesame cake to go. All of the desserts are beautifully decorated and the flavors are even more amazing! The mochi was perfectly chewy and the cocoa powder and dipping items made it such a perfect desert after a heavy dinner. We did break into the cake once we got home and it was perfectly moist, bouncy and not too sweet. We really enjoyed the flavor that was never overshadowed by anything, I cannot wait to come back to try another flavor!

My best friend wanted to order a cake with a hand piped message but the cake artist wasn't available. Ambiance was minimalist and clean. We tried a few things - Green Tea Matcha Mochi Balls - This wasn't sweet at all, but I liked it! It was dusted in matcha & you dip it into a creamy matcha and then into the matcha flakes. Such a fun dessert! The snowball mochis are the star of the show with pillowy soft mochi filled with a light custard and fresh fruit. The strawberry and mango are my faves! The Sea Salt Oreo Cake was cute and light with fluffy whip cream and melt in your mouth chiffon cake. There were several things already gone by the time we came, so if you have a favorite, reserve ahead of time or come early!

Surprisingly, the line was very short…read more We got multiple items off the menu: egg salad sandwich, smoked salmon, everything croissant, black sesame, cinnamon roll. My favorite was the egg salad sandwich as it had chili oil topped off and it has a slight spice to it. My second favorite was the everything croissant. It was asian inspired as the filling was cucumber and kimchi! Heating up the baked goods and waiting on my matcha took about 5-10 minutes. For drinks, we had OJ and cocowater matcha. The OJ was refreshing, a bit sour for my preference. The cocowater matcha was good as well and refreshing. It was on the bitter end, but also matcha was not strong flavor due to the cocowater. There is no indoor seating and limited outdoor seating. There is paid meter parking around the streets, but there is no specific parking lot for this bakery. I want to come back again for the egg salad and everything croissant, those are my two favorites!

This place has the most insanely delicious vegan pastries omg. In one of their display cases they…read morehave an entire shelf that is labelled as all vegan, and luckily I asked an employee if there were any other vegan options because he told me that one of their two rows of rolled croissants were also vegan. I ended up getting a vegan almond croissant and a vegan chocolate hazelnut rolled croissant, both of which were ridiculously good. The almond croissant was nice and flaky yet still buttery inside, and the almond filling was lovely. However my favorite was definitely the rolled croissant, the hazelnut creme inside was so light and creamy and when taken in a bite with the croissant and chocolate shell coating was heavenly. They had so many other options that looked incredible, in particular if I came back I would definitely want to try the vegan kouign amann. The inside is cute and has a small amount of seating, however the place is quite busy and fills up very fast. Me and my friend were lucky to get there early and be able to claim a table, and so they plated the pastries for us quite nicely and heated up her pizza croissant. Everyone we interacted with was lovely. This place is actually perfection I cannot recommend enough.

We went during a busy day so a lot of their options were running out so we were lucky to get a chocolate almond croissant and a vegan almond croissant. My friend was also able to get a vegan chocolate croissant to go (which she told me she enjoyed after our night out of drinking haha). I am going to come back to this place because I loved it. I also tried the our vegan croissant order and I seriously will not be able to tell (but we trust the kind staff!). Amazing service despite a busy Friday early afternoon.

It's an absolute staple of what makes exploring the Village so special. Walking through the front entrance, you're greeted by a curated retail space that feels like Crate & Barrel met a boutique shop in the heart of Paris. It's packed with unique home goods, chic trinkets, and aesthetic lifestyle items. Be sure to wander all the way to the back shelves--there are so many hidden gems worth taking home! The staff upfront and on the floor were incredibly warm, welcoming, and happy to chat while you browse. As you head toward the back, the space opens up into a dream of a café. One of the cutest touches is being able to actually watch the bakers rolling out fresh dough and crafting pastries right before your eyes. The smell of rich espresso and buttery pastry crust filling the air is irresistible. I grabbed a coffee and a fresh pastry, waited a short bit for a table on the patio, and pulled out my journal. Listening to the ambient music and ocean breeze in the courtyard while writing was pure heaven. Whether you're stopping in to shop for home decor, grab a top-tier espresso, or just soak in the slow, luxurious rhythm of La Jolla, this place is perfection.
