Tracie M.

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 lemon meringue which was nice and tart. For savory, loved the chicken Chipotle crepe. Great spot for a quick lunch in between all your shopping.

Mango Bliss
Nick P.

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.

Nutella Crepe & Berry Matcha
Alyssa Mae L.

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.

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.

Nutella croissant
Rudy H.

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.

Gelato
Sam M.

Went for a quick refresher, the watermelon and mint mocktail was a little spendy but delicious and perfectly balanced. Service was very friendly, and the space is cozy. Didn't try other snacks this time, but the pastries and gelato looked amazing!

Fruitella
Youn S.

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.

Chocolate gelato. This is a small (has 2 scoops).
Jessica W.

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.

Alan S.

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.

No chocolate pecan tarte for Fendi
Henri V.

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

Michiko L.

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.

First off tried the matcha croissant. I love matcha but wasn't really a fan of the croissant. I rarely tasted any matcha flavor, and did not really like the addition of the cream..but to each their own! I really liked the roe baguette , savory and crispy made a perfect snack. The bacon danish was also delish and the potatoes inside was a surprise. The karage sando was decent. I really liked how juicy yet crispy the chicken was! Wasn't too fond of the sour ness of the lettuce though. And wish that the toast was warmed up!

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!
