Was on the hunt for matcha at UTC and decided to try the Berry Matcha here! Parfait Paris is hard to miss, spanning a wide corner close to Macy's. No seating inside but a couple of tables were set up outside. I ordered the Berry Matcha with oat milk. It was decent, the berry flavor was on the sweeter side and dominated the matcha flavor. I still enjoyed it while sharing a nutella crepe with a friend (which was delicious, but also hard to mess up otherwise). Overall, if you're looking for matcha that isn't from a boba shop within UTC, Parfait Paris is your best bet. However, if you're not confined to UTC for your matcha endeavors, I'd suggest finding a different spot.
We had a lot of time to spare since we were waiting for our reservation at Din Tai Fung. We came here for a snack. We ordered the mango bliss and iced berry lemonade. They were both tasty. No complaints. The mango bliss had a smooth texture and was full of flavor. The iced berry lemonade was refreshing. The guy working there was kind and gave us helpful suggestions. There were only two tables outside of the shop but plenty of tables close by.
It was a hot day after shopping and we were looking for something refreshing. We stopped by parfait Paris to try some of their delicious drinks and macarons. Whilst my sister and I both ordered Iced berry's drink. One lemonade and one matcha. However, it wasn't until after that our server didn't realize they ran out of matcha. Josh was amazing and was able to replace my drink with something more delicious. Was pretty sad they didn't have my drink but Josh gave me a more delicious one. Thank u so much for working hard!! Definitely recommend The energy chiller Berry lemonade And any of the macarons!
Macaron tasted like it's been in the fridge for a while. I got the caramel one and it barely tasted like anything. The Lemon meringue tart was ok but somehow was way too sweet even though it was tart - I couldn't finish the whole thing. Service was curt and unwelcoming. There's also barely any seating, with only three tables outside and the owner? took over one of them instead of allowing guests to use them given the limited number of tables. There's better food in this mall than this place.
Ordered the veggie quiche for breakfast on a Sunday morning . It came with a side of spring greens. While slightly pricey, the quiche itself was very flavorful! The dressing on the side salad was also tasty. The place can get busy on weekends so plan ahead.
Excellent French bakery in San Diego. They serve crepes, croissants and other wonderful French pastries including coffees. I shared a Nutella croissant with my wife. Super light and flaky. Generously filled with Nutella. Loved it. Super délicieux [Delicious]. Nice bistro seating outside. Service is very friendly.
Very frustrating as this was our first time visiting this location. We got a fruitella to go. It took 20 min, wondering how good this would be. After coming home and opening up the box, we found this... This was $11 and totally not worth it. The crepe dough was overcooked, felt like a breakfast burrito and was really thick. The nutella, banana, and strawberry were not enough to the thickness of the crepe. We added some of our own nutella and peanut butter for more taste..I would give it negative stars if I could w this one.
Food: macarons! I like pistachio. We also got mango, espresso, chocolate, and raspberry. Price: $3 each or 6 for $17. Service: very friendly and helpful. Ambiance: small shop. No inside seating.
Robin and Neth helped us and were cordial and it was great to grab macaroons and lemon yuzu. The shop is small and as an update to my previous post this place gets busy during the weekend. It's a small store front and they are always either super busy or not busy at all. I've been to the other Parfait Paris locations in Del Mar and Coronado and they are all pretty fair. I get why the prices are the way they are because of the location costs.
Parfait Paris is a french bakery cafe that opened recently in UTC La Jolla. There are multiple locations in the San Diego area: Gaslamp, Coronado and Del Mar. This cafe is in the Westfield shopping center which offers limited time free parking. While out and about yesterday, I realized I was running on an empty tummy. This cafe offers coffee drinks, sandwiches, gelato and pastries...I wanted a croissant Tartine but the menu mostly offered ham and meats and I wanted something vegan. The menu needs to offer more vegan options. Then I saw all the pastries, I had to order some macarons, which are vegan and my pup Fendi loves them. I'm usually drawn to new creations so I ordered their latest: Chocolate Pecan Tart. It was small, not too sweet and so delectable. The staffer was nice helpful, expeditious and she wore a fresh clean pair of gloves before handling anything yay! A few marble top tables and outdoor only seating to enjoy my treat. Everything would have been perfect had the cafe used silverware and NOT plastic, which lessened the niceness experience. Or at least use compostable utensils made with wood. Even though I've visited other Parfait Paris locations, I feel compelled to review this location because it's new and a welcomed addition to UTC La Jolla. Mes amis, you don't need to jet off to Paris, because Parfait Paris is here and worth a visit. Je recommande! Recommend
Amazing pastries, amazing service, glad I came here instead of the other macaron place in the mall. Monday's are 10% off macarons. Also $1 off a $3 macaron if you get a gelato. I'll have to tru the gelato next time. Open By the way, for the first Sunday in December (12/1/2024) the mall was not too crazy. I found plenty of parking off of Lombard Street near Macy's. Arrived around noon.
Parfait Paris is not meant primarily targeted to making quiches, but it was still mildly upsetting to see someone take a quiche from some fridge, reheat it, and serve it. Unsure of where the quiche is sourced, but was disappointing to see out in the open. The quiche itself was fine, but nothing special.
Good pastry selection here and a wide variety of crepes, cakes, and coffee. Tried the gelato - hazelnut and cookies and cream. Hazelnut was good and tasted like hazelnut but the cookies and cream tasted like nothing. No toppings. Good spot for coffee and pastries, but pass on gelato.
Small bakery located at UTC MALL. Servers are really friendly and made great recommendations. I got a few pastries to share and we all loved them. My favorite was the yuzu meringue pastry which was nice and tart. For savory, loved the chicken Chipotle crepe. Great spot for a quick lunch in between all your shopping. read more

TLDR - All style, some substance. Everything from the exterior to the foods exudes a beautiful aesthetic but the quality aside from looks does not justify the price when there are comparable and more price appropriate dessert/sweets/cafes within a 2 minute walk Parfait Paris is an adorable patisserie/cafe at the utc Westfield. 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. read more

Tried this little pastry shop in the UTC mall. Hubby and I split an almond croissant and our daughter chose six macaron cookies. The croissant was very good but $7 seems pricey. The young woman who helped us was pleasant. read more
Parfait Paris lives up to its claims of serving authentic French bakery goods. Their almond croissant was absolutely delicious and tasted just like the ones I had in Paris. It's crispy and not too sweet and you can totally taste the honey glaze on top of the croissant. The server was lovely and offered to warm up my croissant. They use Lavazza coffee beans for their coffee and it was delicious. My Americano was medium bodied and not acidic at all. I would totally be back to try their other bake goods! read more

If you're looking for some incredible pastries, or an amazingly flaky and delicious croissant sandwich, Parfait Paris at the UTC mall is a must try. This is their newest location, and it doesn't disappoint! read more
Ashley and Nickie were so welcoming and awesome! Same with the French guy last week. Love the people working there and the quality of pastries, food and drinks. It looks very cozy and chic and hopefully 'laptop-camping' is not allowed or at least minimized. Price wise is kind of expensive. Honestly too expensive but is looking the same everywhere. Consider making the prices more affordable, patisserie is going insane, thanks. read more

I don't normally go out of my way to leave a review but my experience here was just awful. I was excited to bring my mom and sister in to try their desserts after we just ate at marugame. The girl working there on Wednesday 1/28 at 2:56pm was not helpful or nice and had a horrible attitude from the start. I came with my family. When we walked in there was a single person there and he worked at Macy's. As they were just chatting we did not get greeted as we walked in and she didn't say a single word for the 10 minutes we were just standing there. I proceeded to ask if we could order something and she responded with a horrible attitude " I'm helping someone right now" in a rude way. She needs to work on her customer service and the management needs to retrain this girl. We even waited 5 more minutes and she still did not help us. So we walked out and we went over to Venchi next to Nordstrom for dessert instead. They were much nicer to us and helped us through every step. Bad attitude and customer service is what kill a business! read more
