    My Aunt showed us this place when visiting. We stopped by for coffee and pastries every day that we were in Scripps Ranch. The americanos were wonderful as well as the almond croissant!

    Heard this was the best Croissant outside of France my buddy had… so had to go check it out. Unfortunately when I decided to go the lovely staff was on I’m sure a well needed and deserved Vacation. A few of the photos are from then. Today, July 28 2023… however I decided to make the trek once again knowing they were open!! The place presents amazing! Quaint spot in a nice shopping center with plenty of seating for I’d say about 15-20 outside under cover. While waiting the staff couldn’t have been more pleasant and willing to help and explain anything. Super friendly and amazing! Those two alone make it a place to stop back through and support! What I ordered First, 1 BLT Sandwich, Second, 1 Ham and Cheese croissant, Third, 3 Plain croissants and finally 4, 2 Chocolate Chip Cookies Before I get into the scores I must say this place is a must stop if you live in San Diego at least once. The drive is east, once you’re off the freeway the scenery is gorgeous! Worth it! Let me start in the order in which I tried the goods! Chocolate Chip Cookie unfortunately very average 5.2 they do look amazing so I’ll be sure to ask again at some point if they are fresh and I’ll give it another go! Ham and Cheese croissant - WOW!!! damn good! 8.3 BLT Sando - The bread is the winner here but overall not gonna blow my socks off. But if I lived around the corner I’d smash them consistently 7.4 And the reason for the trip the Croissant! I’ve been very fortunate in life to travel quite extensively! If you’re looking for one of those sweet croissants don’t be shocked this is not. Buttery , Savory and a nice salt kick . I’m a fan! Definitely up there for me 8.1 I will add as I stop in and try more! I hope you get a chance to try this lovely bakery! They deserve all the business they get!

    Stunning little French bakery for the best French goodies ! They have a limited menu but every dish they serve is delicious. They also carry their signature jams and syrups and this place is definitely a croissant lover’s paradise! We also tried their desserts and man were they delicious! We had the Lemon Tart, The Chocolate Eclair and The Apricot Danish - enjoyed all of them! Will be visiting this place again to try their desserts and croissants.

    Was craving some pastries this morning and found this gem! The almond croissant here is the best I've ever had. Tried the chocolate tart too which was delicious. I also picked up the garlic sourdough loaf and man that bread is good!! The staff is supr friendly too. Can't believe I didn't go here sooner.
