As someone who is not big on coffee, this latte was actually so so good, and I would definitely recommend. I also tried a bite of the Bibimbap Croissant which was yummy too. Service was amazing! The staff were welcoming, friendly, and quick. They checked on us frequently and made sure if we needed anything else / if we enjoyed our food. They also offered us samples of a new item, the Coconut Pumpkin Bun, coming out around October. It was warm and not too sweet - a perfect balance in my opinion. The atmosphere and ambience was clean and cozy. It was a nice place for our group to enjoy some drinks and a quick bite. Everyone enjoyed themselves! Overall, I highly recommend checking this place out! I will definitely be back :)

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!

Do not pick the fruit off the vines, they have signs indicating they use them in their recipes. Wait in line, walk inside, order at the counter by pointing at what you want in the case. Card only. Tried: Strawberry pistachio croissant $6.75 - didn't really need the outer glaze was a little odd. Chocolate croissant $6.35 - okay Cinnamon bun $6.35 - this was better warmed up at home. Peach vanilla Tile $7 - good They have a 1% zero foodprint fee added on to all checks. Maybe I just got the wrong things but I wasn't a fan compared to other San Diego bakeries.

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.

We stopped by here after being downtown for Comicon…read more Things must have changed over the years since I felt the establishment has changed a bit. We used to come visit here when we come to San Diego. On this summer day - the restaurant doesn't bave any AC on so it made it a bit uncomfortable to enjoy our desert when it is a bit cooler to sit outside. The other thing that got to me was that the men's restroom was out of service so they did not announce it or anything but the women's bathroom was to be used by both genders but it was crowded so a bit uncomfortable. Service wise we got our deserts and the deserts are still very delicious. We were a larger party and they were able to accommodate and get all of our orders correctly. Noise level was normal and gave us time to sit down and relax our feet. Over all - food was good but things were a bit worn down from a building perspective

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.

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 recent visit i ordered the everything croissant and whoopie pie! Best sweet and savory trade off! The croissant was was soft and airy yet the crunch was perfect! The whoopie pie cookie was i think a green teal oatmeal cookie which was so soft but had a crumble to each bite and the center marshmallow was gooey like a s'more coming off the flame! Some may say its just another shop but theyre all just stops if you look it at that way. To me this was a "slow down take moment" stop on my way to school drop off and honestly ita what I needed!

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.

It's an absolute staple of what makes exploring the Village so special.

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.
