Parfait Paris

Stopped in with my friends before a comedy show for a lil winter treat and coffee☺️ really lovely desserts, I got their seasonal Let It Snow and it was one of the best, subtly sweet desserts I’d had in a long time. The strawberry tart was lovely as was the lemon and yuzu tart. The coffee was great too! The barista was really kind and friendly and offered to take our photo when she saw us struggling with a selfie 😂 10/10 would be back! Need to try those macaroons next time 💃🏽

The pastries are as good as it gets in San Diego, the tarts and cakes are great. The macarons are good too. The coffee was well done. On one visit, I was disappointed in the food. Quality was low for the price point. The poached eggs on the Benedict were cold. Service was slow for dine in, staff frequently appeared overwhelmed. However, a lady who appeared to be the manager walked in at some point, and that seemed to help improve the flow. Will have to try the food again in the future, and hope it is as good as the desserts!

I work at a similar place back in LA so I was comparing and I was happy with my decision to come try it out. The pastries were delicious!! We ordered a crème brûlée and one of the girls on staff said she was an expert flamber, she did an amazing job with the crust! I got some macarons to bring back to my team!

I adore this Parisian dessert café so much, I came back the very next day after discovering it! The coffee and dishes here are simply exquisite! I had the perfectly balanced lavender honey latte (more coffee than sugar is my shtick), the server made it just as I requested it. Which by the way, wasn't really customized by any means, just had to be sure it wasn't a bowl of sugar with a drop of coffee. I had this paired with a vanilla cake dessert which I cannot for the life of me remember its name, but I assure you my sugar tooth was more than pleased! Like the British Baking Show always says "itzz abouuut tha layherrssz". And they nailed it! The next day I tried the banana/strawberry crepe that was beyond delectable. Again, not too sweet and overall extremely satisfying with it's evenly creamy interior. I tried the Sea Salt Carmel latte to pair with it, and I couldn't have been more happier! The service of the ladies behind the counter were even more sweeter than their Parisian baked goods! They greeted me as soon as I entered, provided insights on their dishes and calibrated me to the ones they thought suited me after I described my palate. Last, the ambiance and atmosphere of Parfait Paris: to add cherries on top, this was one of my favorite attributes of this San Diego café and eatery. It literally gave me goosebumps about how reminiscent of being in downtown Paris again, eating outside while enjoying the city as I slowly sipped my coffee and became engrossed in my book. Nobody was rushing me, nobody bothering, there was nothing left to do but be present and enjoy. And that's what I did. This place couldn't get bigger marks from me. Enjoy this cozy slice of Paris on your next venture in downtown San Diego!
