They offer a variety of unique cookie flavors along with granola. You really can't go wrong with any of the options (pretty much had them all), but our favorites are the salted brown butter chocolate chip, espresso toffee chocolate & sea salt, peanut butter brown butter butterfinger, and the s'mores. They can package up your cookies in a nice box as well or they are wrapped individually. It's hard not to eat all of the cookies in one sitting, but they do last throughout the week if you have some self control! They do offer samples and even have a frequent buyer card. Buy 12 and get one free! I've gone through probably more cards than I should, but these cookies are just that amazing! Pricing is reasonable for the quality of cookie you get. The owner, Max, and the rest of the folks that work there are super friendly and you can tell that they have a passion for baking these delicious goods. I definitely recommend checking out Magnolia!

The Shakshuka was also very delicious, and had a nice little kick, but not at all overpowering the other flavors in the dish. We (party of 2) were seated within 25 mins on a busy Sunday morning, and were lucky to be seated inside. I had no idea how stylish and chic it was until we walked in! I was in awe by all the cute, and fun decor. We are incredibly lucky to have such awesome places like this in San Diego! Can't wait for my return :)

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!

The ice cream selection is on the smaller side, but still solid & they also offer crepes if you want something extra. I went with vanilla in a fresh cone and it hit the spot. At $7.50, it's actually pretty reasonable for an ice cream shop in La Jolla. Definitely worth stopping by if you're in the area!

I was surprised by how busy it gets even on a weekday morning, but arriving early helped me snag a cozy spot inside. There are only about 4-5 indoor tables, but plenty of outdoor seating to enjoy the beautiful San Diego weather. The staff was friendly and welcoming, even while managing the rush. The hardest part about this place is deciding what to order, everything looks so good. I don't remember what I got on my first visit, but this time I went with a Nutella-stuffed croissant, and it was absolutely delicious. I also ordered a latte, which was solid. I can't really speak to how "authentic" it is, but I can say it's definitely worth visiting at least once, especially if you're a local.

What truly blew us away was the passionfruit macaron--it tasted exactly like our wedding cake from 19 years ago. My wife and I looked at each other in shock and both said "wedding cake!" at the same time. It was such a fun, nostalgic moment. We also tried the mushroom chocolate dessert, which was perfectly balanced--not too rich, not too sweet, just excellent. The Dubai chocolate croissant was unique, delicious, and a lot of fun. Yes, prices are a bit higher than a typical bakery, but the quality and flavors make every extra cent worth it. If you're in Pacific Beach and looking for an outstanding dessert spot, look no further than "Desserts by Clément. I remembered seeing the owner, Clement, on a baking competition show (Baker Wars or Ultimate Baking Championship), i'm not sure, so it was extra cool to discover he's right here in town. Highly recommend!

Ratings: pink- for any Hispanic people reading this, this reminded me sooo much of a Danonino 8/10, brown bear 9/10, mango 9/10, mushroom 8/10, croissant 8/10. All of the desserts had a great exterior crunch, beautiful, and not overly sweet (much appreciated). This place is very much an experience, pastries were all good. I enjoyed the mango the most. The coffee was okay, again not overly sweet which I liked. I loved the aesthetic with teddy bears, very cute. The restroom was cute and clean. Cashier was friendly. Parking can be tricky and limited but luckily found very close spot. Will definitely return to try more.

Specifically, a white or yellow fluffy bread with light not sugary sweet icing and a light vanilla custard filling with multiple berries...this cake has many names and I found some of the best at Tutto Bene Beverly Hills, Sweet Lady Jane Beverly Hills and sometimes at WholeFoods all named differently. When I saw some posted pics of this cake from this shop, I was so excited to try it. This is a very small shop with only one table inside and a few more in the outdoor patio. For reference, this cake shop is across from Pavilions in La Jolla, where I parked and grocery shopped before crossing the street to this cake shop. Upon entry I saw their version: Gateau Aileen. 'Gateau' is french for cake and Aileen is someone's name. I ordered a slice togo. The female staff behind the counter was helpful and friendly. The display case also had macarons and lots of other enticing desserts, and a small shelf of wines and sparkling wines. With excitement and anticipation, I headed home immediately and plated my slice on my fancy porcelain dish. After the first bite, I was shocked with disappointment to realized this is NOT the one, Not even close to other versions I've had. Apparently, this cake looked better than it tasted, and it tasted horribly bad, possibly the cake passed its expiration date, because ups on closer inspections, the strawberries on top looked over ripen. Good thing I didn't order a whole cake, but I hate spending any $$ on anything I can't enjoy. Perhaps is was just an off day at this bakery. Sadly, whoever Aileen is should not be associated with this awful tasting thing they call Gateau Aileen is cake NOT worthy of your Royal tastebuds. Sorry, NOT Sorry, Cannot Recommend
