Parisien Gourmandises - La Jolla, California

Clem Zhang

The best pastry shop at La Jolla! Everything here is made with so much love and warmth!! ?The pastries are all delicious and Mango Cube is my favorite. The fresh mango pieces and the flaky crust create a unique texture, and the mango cream filling is just the right amount of sweet. The Pistachio Cake is another must try! it has a crispy chocolate shell with rich pistachio sauce and brown butter inside, making it a deliciously refined treat. ?
The owner Annie is incredibly warm, kind, and always ready to share her story and smile with the customers. She was born in France and has brought her own creative twist to traditional French desserts, making them truly special. Her desserts and the cheerful chats between us made my day so much brighter. I also shared some of the delicious cakes with my friends, and they all loved them so much as well！
Annie mentioned that they have some different pastries every day, which would bring you a little surprise everyday, so I highly recommend this place and can't wait to come back to try more new items and have another wonderful chat with the warm-hearted Annie again!!

This place is a legit french bakery. The pistachio croissant is a personal fave. But other flavors are a must try as well. If you’re visiting la jolla or want to take a friend/love one visiting our finest city, this place won’t disappoint.

True hidden French patisserie heaven (and kosher) in the heart of La Jolla. Pastries are to die for coffee is getting better…their whole grain bread is a must and their challah is probably the best I’ve ever had. Love this place?

Sienna made me this amazing pistachio latte with rose garnish, it really was so delicious!!! i've been going to coffee places in San Diego and I'm pretty particular with my coffee I also have a sweet tooth so she gave me an extra chocolate on the side. Shout out to her, She is the sweetest, the ambiance of the place is so pretty because it's indoor like a speakeasy french cafe my husband loves the espresso croissants and he has been coming here just to get his new favorite, one time he told me as they were closing he got a bunch of croissants with my daughter, the guy there I can't remember his name but he gave my daughter a free croissant at closing which was very sweet. I highly recommend this place when you are in La Jolla.

I recently visited Parisien Gourmandises in La Jolla, and I must say, it was a delightful experience from start to finish. From the moment I stepped into the charming café, I was greeted with warm smiles and impeccable service.

I decided to try their smoked salmon sandwich, and I was not disappointed. The sandwich was a perfect blend of flavors and textures. The smoked salmon was fresh and tender, complemented by a medley of ingredients that elevated the overall taste. It was a mouthwatering treat that left me wanting more.

To accompany my meal, I ordered both an ice coffee latte and a hot coffee latte. Both beverages were expertly crafted, showcasing the barista's skill and attention to detail. The ice coffee latte was refreshing and invigorating, providing a cool respite on a warm day. The hot coffee latte, on the other hand, was rich and aromatic, delivering a comforting and satisfying experience. The quality of the coffee truly impressed me.

As if that wasn't enough, I couldn't resist indulging in a chocolate croissant. It was a little piece of heaven. The croissant was perfectly baked, with a flaky exterior and a luscious, chocolatey filling. Each bite was a decadent delight, and I savored every moment.

Aside from the outstanding food and beverages, the service at Parisien Gourmandises was top-notch. The staff members were attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu. They made sure that every aspect of my visit was enjoyable, and their genuine passion for their craft was evident.

In conclusion, Parisien Gourmandises in La Jolla is a hidden gem that offers a true taste of Paris. The smoked salmon sandwich, ice coffee latte, hot coffee latte, and chocolate croissant all exceeded my expectations. The combination of excellent cuisine, attentive service, and a cozy atmosphere makes this café a must-visit for any food enthusiast. I highly recommend it, and I cannot wait to return for another culinary journey.

Great selections of pastries! Raspberry seems is a popular one !

Very little bread option, but they do have mini baguettes. Traditional baguette is great if you consume on the day of purchasing. I brought few baguettes, the one I took home start to turning into a “weapon” hard.

Parking on the side walk, free. It is inside of a decor store.

Food is hit or miss.... sometimes you get fresh sometimes not so fresh but the cakes behind the counter are always delicious. Coffee is good as well as service. Wish their app worked so you could order ahead. Easy to find parking and seat if your eating there.
