Everything is in the name. It is "parfait", which is perfect in French. And it is exactly what you would get in Paris or any top notch pastry/breakfast place in France. All the foods we had, savory or sweet, were amazing. We had the short rib breakfast hash, salmon benedicts, lemon crêpe, Strawberry pastry/fraisier. They also had delicious gluten-free options like Le Noisette (hazelnut pastry), crème brûlée and macarons. Coffee and iced berry matcha drinks were fantastic too! This is without a doubt our new favorite place to have breakfast/bunch in San Diego. read more

Ambiance nice. Coffee - hot mocha - weak flavor. Croissant with chocolate barely has any chocolate. I approach the worker showing her no chocolate. She says "weird". - doesn't apologize- follows up saying "they do have chocolate" to which I reply, "But I don't". Only then does she offer to give me another one. I decline. In summary- don't go there if you want a chocolate croissant or bold flavored hot mocha. Servers attitude *Fake-friendly. read more

I don't even know where to start... Parfait Paris completely stole my heart. From the moment I walked in, I felt like I had been transported straight to Paris. The atmosphere, the energy, even the warmth from the staff -- and I swear the owner's accent just made the whole experience even more magical -- everything about this place is just chef's kiss. Now let's talk about the FOOD. I had a chipotle chicken crêpe that was unreal -- perfectly balanced, flavorful, and so satisfying. Then came the pastries... I tried the most incredible apple croissant-style bread (I don't even know what to call it, just know it was AMAZING), and the macarons were soft, fresh, and full of flavor. And the lavender honey latte?? Oh my God. I'm still thinking about it. Literally one of the best drinks I've ever had. Every single thing I tried was a 10/10. Not one miss. But honestly, it's more than just the food -- it's the experience. It's cozy, beautiful, and just feels special. If I lived in San Diego, I would be here every single day without question. I'm officially in love with Parfait Paris. read more

The food was great. My son and I came in and had dessert and drinks and it was a wonderful time. We're both working remote so it made so much sense to work outside the home for the day and I'm glad we chose this place. I'm Covid cautious so tend to prefer places with outdoor patio spaces and this was great! Not only did it have a patio space, but the window/walls open up so there was a lovely breeze and air flow throughout the entire establishment. I really loved that. The service was fine, but it was strange that the barista input the numbers on the bathroom door for us instead of giving them for us to do, especially when she didn't wash her hands after. But other than that, it was great. read more

A visit to San Diego would not be complete without Parfait Paris! Our hotel this time was located just about a mile away, but it made for a nice morning walk from Little Italy to the Gaslamp Quarter. The daughter was so excited to see the Dubai Pain Swiss and Matcha Latte on the menu. I chose my favorite Almost Croissant with a much-needed cup of Americano. It was all so, so yummy and satisfying! The place is still quite charming with a variety of plants everywhere, decorative items on shelves and wall decor reflecting the San Diego area. We're already looking forward to next time. :) read more

Service was really awesome. I got there like 10 minutes till closing. She still served me and gave me drinks. I give it a three stars for the desserts it was OK not the best I've had but still good if you're craving something late. Cute café/bakery. Wish I had time to get a latte because they had a really nice looking espresso machine. When I come back here, maybe maybe not but I really appreciate the great service read more

We stopped by here after having dinner next door. The place is super cute. They had a lot of mini indoor plants as decor which they also sell to customers. They had a variety of drinks to choose from and cute desserts. If I wasn't too full, I probably would've ordered more. We tried the Ciao bella teas, macarons and the mango cake. The cake was moist and delicious and the macaron was soft and perfect! Service was quick, and there were plenty of chairs and tables. read more

Hidden gem in the heart of the city. It's easy to walk by and think it's just another cafe but this place is phenomenal. The coffee never has a bitterness to it and their pastries are wonderful. I have come here for brunch before and there is a long wait if you come during peak times on weekends. I suggest getting a pastry and a coffee as a starter and make your way in to their breakfast plates. I am dying to have lunch here since their sandwiches sound amazing. I ended up ordering a yuzu lemon tart and it was light, airy, and sour in the best possible way. It paired very well with my cappuccino. My husband ordered the s'mores crepe and it was rich. They did not skimp on the toppings. It was so delicious. I am so glad this is in my neighborhood. read more

We came for coffee and dessert. We ordered coffee, sea salt Carmel latte, crème brûlée and chocolate cake. I'm not too impressed with the latte, very bland and no espresso taste. The chocolate cake was good but not $13 good. Crème brûlée was average. Overall, it's not worth the price. read more

10/10 ! If you're visiting San Diego for the first time, if you're a gaslamp local or if you're a coffee and pastry enthusiast, DO NOT SLEEP ON THIS PLACE!! Ben and the rest of the team will have you feeling like family. And their craft is unmatched. The indoor and outdoor seating options are so cozy and the small decorative plants are take home ready and for purchase! They have a NEW LOCATION inside Terminal 1 of the San Diego International Airport, opposite of Better Buzz coffee. Do yourself a favor and skip the long trendy line at BB and head over to Parfait Paris for a warm start or end to your travel day. This place is consistently incredible. Cheers! read more

A gem in Coronado Parfait Paris - Coronado Ferry Landing This was my first visit to Parfait Paris, and from the moment I walked in I was greeted with warm hospitality. The staff was kind, patient, and helpful in explaining their offerings and provided thoughtful recommendations, which made me feel instantly welcome. I tried the traditional vanilla crème brûlée, a hot honey lavender latte, and picked up a croissant to enjoy later. The crème brûlée was sublime--creamy and delicately sweet, with the perfect crack of caramelized sugar on top. The latte was absolutely exquisite, the honey and lavender balancing beautifully with the espresso. As for the croissant, it looks deliciously flaky and generously sized--I can't wait to indulge in it. Overall, this was a wonderful first experience, and I'm already looking forward to my next visit. Parfait Paris is a gem at the Ferry Landing--highly recommended! read more

Delicious ice cream , great and fast service. I really recommend the strawberry cheesecake flavor.

Cute Interior with a couple of patio seating outside. Beware that they are in the pricy side for pastries ($10-13). Apparently they've got a couple awards for their breakfast and pastries. They advertise their croissant gelato sandwich and that their gelato flavors are rotating. Misc: - they have WiFi, you can just ask them for the password - they have a clean bathroom for paying customers Got the: 1. MilleFeuille ($13): 8.5/10 - AVAILABLE ON WEEKENDS ONLY - vanilla bean cream was very light and delicious - topped with a crunchy white chocolate - very crispy but could be flakier and could have a fruit to give it some oomph 2. Yuzu & Lemon Tart ($13) - made with Meringue Yuzu, Lemon Cream , Yuzu Confit 3. Le Noisette ($13) - Made of a hazelnut biscuit, crunchy praline biscuit, milk and dark chocolate crémeux and Gianduja mousse. (GLUTEN FREE) 4. Dubai Pain Swiss ($11) 5. Nutella Croissant Roll ($10) - made with Croissant dough, Nutella ganache filling, Nutella swirl, churros style sugar, and grilled hazelnut read more

Great french bakery with wonderful options. I loved the tres leches latte and vanilla bean latte with almond milk. The coffee takes a bit of time to be made since the coffee side of things is mostly run by one person at a time and they are usually pretty busy, but its so worth the wait. Then there are the pastries, and wow these are beautiful and taste amazing. This is a go to spot for me from now on. read more

A beautiful and orderly sweets shop in the Gaslamp. The sweets are inviting and twinkling to the eye. Pastries, colorful macaroon, carrot cakes, flakey croissants, and attractive treats in the display c as e lured me into the shop. I enjoyed the tasty carrot cake back in motel room. Yeh service is so friendly and pleasant . Yeah, I would return here when I have another post meal desire for something sweet. read more

Parfait Paris in Gaslamp has a charming atmosphere and a solid selection of pastries and desserts. The presentation is appealing, and it's a nice spot to stop for something sweet while walking around downtown. That said, the pastries don't quite hit the mark if you're expecting an authentic French experience. The textures tend to be heavier and thicker than traditional French pastries, lacking that light, delicate, buttery flakiness you'd find in a true pâtisserie. Overall, it's enjoyable for a casual dessert. Staff is friendly. read more

This place is super cute! I was staying nearby and when I walked past they had the menu outside and looking at it, I saw several things I wanted to try! I came on a Thursday morning and you can order cocktails even then, so I got one along with the pistachio cream pastry. Both were really good! The cocktail was surprisingly strong; I recall it was supposed to be blackberry based but they were out of the blackberry liquor and used raspberry instead. It was still pretty good and the pastry was quite a good size! The service was fast, and they had a decent few tables inside plus some out front. Overall I would def come here again in the future esp if craving pastries because they had tons! But they also have regular cafe food too eg sandwiches etc. read more

The lemon beignet was delicious. They warmed it up before serving it to us out in the patio, which I can say is very peaceful. The breakfast was a croissant with egg Canadian bacon Swiss cheese.

This is a nice and quaint little spot! I ordered a Sicilian Latte, Americano, L'Alsacien Croissant (Canadian ham, Swiss, and fried egg), California Strawberry Macaron, and a Dubai Pain Swiss! Not only were they eye-appealing; they were phenomenal in taste! Fresh fresh fresh! My latte was so good! It wasn't too sweet even though it had caramel. My wife loved her Americano. The Pain Swiss was delectable. I ate it the way the French do and not warmed up! The flakiness of the croissant and creaminess of the filling was to die for as my wife would put it! My wife devoured it. I only got a couple bites. Maybe I'll order another one two go! BTW, if you write a review, you get a free macacron! read more

A French coffee with a wide variety of savory dishes and pastries on offer. We tried their Dubai Pain Suisse and Nutella Supreme Croissant. Both were very fresh and flaky!

We usually love Parfait Paris, great coffee, delicious pastries, and consistently kind staff. Still really missing the lox sandwich, it was so good. Tried the short rib hash today and it was a miss, as in inedible lol. The short rib was extremely (bone) dry, with eggs and a really bland guac? Dish had no flavor or seasoning, and it didn't resemble a hash at all. For the price, it was disappointing to leave still hungry... thankfully the pastry helped. Hope this dish gets reworked (or retired). Definitely go, skip this dish though. read more

Barista seemed like she hated he life! Had the worst hot chocolate in my life here. Their cakes are dry and not made in house. Their Tiramisu latte would've been amazing ... had they not charged extra for milk? Mind you a Latte is 1:3 espresso and 2:3 steamed milk. Craziest experience I've had. Otherwise cool area! read more

I was excited to try this place, but it was just ok and pricey. Their espresso is made from a pods machine, which is so disappointing. The croque Madame is smothered with bechamel sauce, which isn't the way the sauce is used traditionally. It was good, just not what I was expecting. I don't even know they had cheese inside with the ham. The pastry was good. It was a play on the dubai chocolate. I'm glad I got to try them, but I won't be coming back. read more

You order at the counter and then find a table. They had a good selection of croissants with regular, chocolate, almond, and a Nutella roll. We tried the Nutella roll which was gooey on the inside and crunchy and flaky on the outside. I got a cappuccino which came in a nice mug and was topped with some shavings. The cappuccino was really good, much egged than I've had recently. They had a mix of sandwiches and breakfast items. I got a croque madame. The sandwich was huge and came with a side salad dressed with balsamic. It was really hard to cut with a regular knife so they gave me a steak knife. It was topped with cheese and had ham on the inside. The music was good and there was both indoor and outdoor seating. read more

Friendly, comfortable, and delicious! Tried many items but the standout was their ham sandwich. Yeah, sounds basic bitch but it tasted better than several I had in Paris. Baguette is spot on, mustard just spicy enough with a saltiness that's well balanced and interesting. Almond croissant was ample and tasty. Though order their ham sandwich, it's better than Paris. read more
