La Clochette

Finally, I had a chance to try this spot. I've been on a bakery kick lately, and this place had come to me highly recommended with a lot of good feedback and reviews. The first time I tried to go here, it was close to closing, so they were out of all their baked goods. Which just intrigued me more to go back! I want to here this past Saturday morning around 10:00 a.m., it was pretty busy! With a line out the door, although the line moved pretty quickly. I ordered four pastries to go, and it took 12 minutes, which was a little bit frustrating, but I did see all the workers were moving as quickly as possible. They also have a hot breakfast menu, so I think alongside the bakery and coffee selection drinks, the staff can get pretty slammed. I ordered two plain croissants, a ham and cheese croissant, and their mushroom danish. I heated them up once I got home for my boyfriend and I to enjoy. They have a very cute, but small indoor and outdoor seating. I definitely would take advantage of the outdoor seating if you have some time. The mushroom danish was my favorite. I'm picky with croissant quality and have high expectations based on other places I've been, so unfortunately, I say they did okay. There's definitely no TLC or high quality better melted into the croissants. But they do have a variety of pastries, I wouldn't say this place was bad at all, just not my favorite. I have some other spots that I will continue to go to. I may stop by here if I'm in the area, though.

I was between the salmon Benedict and the egg pesto sandwich, the cashier said the salmon dish was bland (but the hollandaise was good) and the sandwich was popular and had spice/flavor. I went with the pesto croissant sandwich, it was good but super oily. It just dripped all over my hands. Sure I cleaned my plate, but pesto really shouldn’t ooze that much oil all over the place. The ratios may have been off on that day’s recipe, it didn’t have any distinct flavor like pesto usually has. The fries were standard, delicious, shoestring fries. Had to be sure I didn’t mindlessly mow down the whole bowl. Maybe consider a half size option? I also had the rose cardamom latte. It was not for me, very much rose and searching for the cardamom. Honestly, I came here for an almond croissant but it was too late in the day and they were all gone. Since I had found parking, I just ate lunch instead.

I had a very bad time at La Clochette. Right when I walked in, the staff ignored me and were swearing out loud. They mostly had croissants on the menu, but they were out of them when I wanted to order. I chose shrimp Benedict instead, and it was terrible. The coffee was the worst I’ve ever had, completely tasteless. The French fries were so oily, it felt like I was eating straight oil. My friends had a bad time too. Their food was either not cooked right or had no flavor, and the service was awful throughout. I ended up paying $32 for food I couldn’t eat and had to go somewhere else to find something decent. I do not recommend this place at all. Don’t waste your time and money here.

We just visited La Clochette for the 2nd time and it did not disappoint! This time we tried the Croque Madame & Truffle Fries, as well as the Duck Brandy Tartine again (see pictures). Service was top notch as always; Oscar was friendly & efficient and recommended their new Blueberry Lemon Beignets - fantastic!! Amazing menu and everything was spot on! One of the best duck dishes (Duck Brandy Tartine) I’ve had in my life. Helpful & knowledgeable staff; very welcoming and friendly environment. They definitely ring my bell!

La Clochette is a charming little cafe located in San Diego's Pacific Beach area. It's the perfect spot to grab a coffee and pastry in the morning, or a leisurely lunch with friends. The service at La Clochette is simply outstanding. The staff is friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu. They are always happy to make recommendations, and they go above and beyond to make sure you have a great experience. The atmosphere at La Clochette is warm and inviting. The cafe is decorated in a cozy way, There's an outdoor area that's perfect for people-watching on a sunny day. The food at La Clochette is simply delicious. The menu features a variety dishes, all made with fresh, high-quality ingredients. The pastries are especially good, and the croissants are some of the best I've ever had. The drinks at La Clochette are also excellent. The coffee is simply delicious, and the tea selection is extensive. I highly recommend the Matcha Drink. I've been to La Clochette several times, and I've never been disappointed. It's quickly become one of my favorite spots in San Diego. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great meal, a delicious drink, or simply a place to relax and enjoy the company of friends. The laminated dough used in the pastries is simply amazing. It's so flaky and light, and it melts in your mouth.The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive. The parking is on the streets and around the neighborhood. Just watch out for the 2 hr parking spots, specially if you are staing a little longer. Try the croissants. They're some of the best I've ever had. Sit outside if the weather is nice. Go with friends and share a few dishes. You'll Come back again and again!

The service was good, the waiter was friendly. The food was good, and the latte was delicious hot. It’s a nice place to sit outside. I got there not early so there were tables available but I heard they were packed early morning on a Saturday.

Spectacular food and coffee spot, chill in the morning. Must try the rose cardamom latte! Loved the balance of the delicate rose and the strong cardamom. Pesto croissant was great, refreshing pesto flavor for the morning brekky. Will come back on another visit to SD

We tried this place out for a quick brunch and will definitely be back— quick service despite a steady flow of customers; super-fast food-running; excellent coffee; perfect little omelette. There’s a large outdoor space in the front that’s reminiscent of a Parisian cafe, as well as a half-dozen or so tables indoors. Croissant sandwich with pesto was dreamy! The monkey bread pastry was delicious, and more along the lines of a pull-apart croissant. Not too sweet. The scallion omelette was delicious, if but a tad under salted. The slices of bread that accompanied the omelette were exceptional, and I’d return to this spot just for the bread.

This is one of my favorite spots! My go to is the breakfast croissant, which comes out flaky and delicious every time. I love their seating along the window and their seasonal lattes! The people who work here are all so welcoming and when I ask them to make drinks the way they'd drink them, they're always so delicious!

Nice place. Food was good. Ideal place to stop by and have coffee and a bite. Service was okay as well. We sat outside and it was okay. I wish the place will have a bit more ambiance and a warmer service. If you are in the area, please try them out. Happy coffee time.

Today I started out going to the Mission Valley location after finding out about La Clochette online. After finding parking I went inside and sadly, was not greeted by the counter staff which was a young lady. She was talking to a man standing at the order station. Although she looked at me when I walked in, she said nothing to me. I skimmed through the menu a bit but I decided that since I was not greeted, that I would go to a different bakery which I'd also read about online. The staff at this bakery, in PB happily greeted me as soon as I entered and immediately began to show me their goods. After purchasing a couple items to go, I continued down Garnet Ave. and turned onto Cass and surprisingly found that there was another La Clochette! I gave this one a try and was greeted right away. I felt welcomed and the vibe was good so I bought a ham and cheese croissant and left. La Clochette Pacific Beach has my vote : )

Solid coffees, delicious pastries, great service. Love that they are dog friendly and have lots of shaded patio tables outdoors. I ordered: 1. Pistachio honey latte: delicious- creamy, nutty and decadent- perfect pairing with the Kouign amann. 2. Mushroom tart: tasty, but the mushrooms were a bit too withered for me. Flavor was excellent but I like my mushrooms a bit more fleshy and less stringy. 3. Kouign amann: good but not as great as at least 3 other bakeries in town where I get them. I learned that all the pastries are actually crafted elsewhere in Sorrento Valley and not in the adjacent bakery/kitchen. I've been told it's packed on the weekend which I would avoid. I might return if I was in the area, and had time to kill, but that would almost never... thankfully they just opened a location in Mission Valley which I am excited to check out soon!

We're a big fan of this French restaurant. Been here like twice. We literally loved their food. Hubby likes the shakshuska it's a Moroccan /North African dish pronounced as Shak-SHOO-kha. It's loaded with flavors tomatoes n poached eggs this is his fave. I simply loved the croissant breakfast with bacon n eggs and the Croque monsieur nicely done. The show stopping flavorful farro beet arugula salad was our all time fave. It would be perfect if they add walnuts and goat cheese just saying! Still good tho! I'm in love with the Ube caramel latte and turmeric latte just perfection not too sweet. Must order. Overall, dining at this place was a delight delicious food. The beignets were perfection and incredibly delicious not too sweet. Love the crispiness. They're like doughnuts without a hole. I loved it warm and the powdered sugary. Highly recommend this place. Their breakfast offerings are amazing sweet n savory sandwiches and coffees. They have a sidewalk patio. Come n visit . Will definitely come back! They have a new location in mission valley area must visit. Ciao!

We finally stumbled upon La Clochette while hanging out in PB one morning on my bday and I'm so happy we did because the food, service, and vibes were everything ! Upon arrival, the outdoor and open-air restaurant vibes is what caught my eye . Secondly, I saw fresh baked croissants-- I'm a sucker . Thirdly, as I stopped to check out the pastries, the host asked if I'd like to dine-in-- I said 'absolutely'. I chose a spot inside near the huge open window and a sweet waitress took our order . Here's what we had-- Butter croissant-- warm, flakey, chewy . Perfection . 10/10 Creamy duck and truffle omelette-- WOW . So rich and decadent . Cheesey in all the right places . Duck was tender and juicy. Loved the truffle garnish . Arugula salad was my jam and even the sourdough it came with was freshly baked ! Recommend sharing . 8.5/10 Croissant Benedict-- so unique, basic, yet soo bougie ! The textures came together so well. The ham had a beautiful Smokey char, hollandaise was the perfect amount of flavor, egg was jammy . Tasty and beautiful . 9/10 Overall, we had such a great experience . We loved people watching as we enjoyed our brunch . The food was delicious-- I honestly can't wait to be back to try the rest of their menu out ! It seems like they're also known for their coffee and drinks, but I didn't try any at the time because I had just finished my coffee earlier that morning . I'll be back !

One of my staple brunch spots in PB! A little bit on the pricier end for brunch, but well worth it. Creamy Duck & Truffle Omelette: (5/5) my new favorite menu item! The eggs are soft and fluffy and paired perfectly with the gruyere cheese and duck. It had the perfect amount of duck and truffle where it was light but still filling.

Had this place saved on my To Go list for a while. It's a cute little cafe close to the beach and I mainly wanted to try their pastries since I saw so much about it from others. Their pastry selection is limited to the most common ones you can think of, but they do a pretty good job with them. The cinnamon bun warmed up was flaky and sweet, pretty much all I could ask for in a cinnamon bun. Nothing much to say about the iced latte, pretty run of the mill. They have a full menu for breakfast foods as well, but didn't get to try any of those. I'd be willing to come back to try them another time!

Our group of 4 visited on a recent Sunday morning and was seated right away at the last shaded outdoor table. The weather was perfect but we did have to move the table a bit to avoid the direct sun. I got the Truffle Mushroom Hash and it was great! It has mushrooms, potatoes, cheese, fried egg, truffle oil, and some microgreens. Hubby ordered the croissant benedict and the plate was empty right away. Our friends got the shrimp cake benedict and the pastrami tuna baguette. My friend and I also shared an almond croissant and it was so delicious as it came toasted. The only thing I didn't care for was actually my plain coffee, also the little container that would spill the creamer all over when you pour it out.

I visited on a Saturday morning for brunch around 11:30 and it was practically empty. I was surprised considering it was a holiday weekend, but it was nice being able to order and sit right away. They serve drinks and food in a very quaint and friendly atmosphere. It's all outdoor seating and it's limited when busy. Two hour street parking is available around the cafe. Food: I ordered the croissant breakfast sandwich and my brother got the duck and truffle omelette. Both were awesome! The croissant is so flakey and buttery and would be delicious by itself as well. My brother really liked the omelette. The best thing we ordered however was the cinnamon roll. It was perfectly crispy on the edges and soft and gooey on the inside with a perfect sweetness. I highly recommend getting the cinnamon roll!! Drinks: I got an iced chai tea latte which was well spiced and good sweetness. Definitely recommend this cafe when in PB and wanting a more chill, less busy atmosphere as it is off the main strip area.

This cafe is a cute spot to come visit for a nice breakfast/brunch! I love the indoor/outdoor seating they offer, and they also have an outdoor patio with even more seating - perfect when the weather is nice. Service was great and we really enjoyed our shrimp cake benedict, breakfast croissant, and lattes! They were fresh and the perfect amount for 2 people. The tables do sit on a little bit on a slant on the patio so I would just suggest to be careful with your drinks so that they don't spill.

This is a great spot! Parking is a bit difficult, but street parking is possible to find after driving around. This is a cozy, clean, and rustic cafe & bakery. The food is presented beautifully for a more casual place and the food tastes fresh. The duck brandy tartine was delicious. I was scared that it was going to be too savory or salty, but the dish was very balanced. This would be a go-to breakfast and brunch spot. The service was great as well. The cashiers and servers were patient, kind, and helpful without being overbearing. Prices were reasonable. I'd like to visit this place again if I'm in the area!

This was such an amazing breakfast - we tried the Gorgan Tartine, Duck & Truffle Omelette and the littles had the Duck Tartine and the Ube Baby Ube!(kids meal). No one in my family liked my order of the Gorgan Tartine as the Gorgonzola came across as a little too overpowering... but I absolutely loved it. My husband tried the Duck and truffle omelette... the lemongrass duck confit was delicious, the omelette light and fluffy. But my son's Duck tartine was the highlight of the meal, and everyone was picking out of his plate. In addition to the delicious lemongrass duck confit, the brandy cream took the dish to a whole different level! However, when I order this again, I would request the brandy cream on the side as the bread was rather soggy toward the end of the meal. My daughter's Ube Baby Ube was the perfect kids portion, full of flavor and packed with fresh fruit with bacon. DH and the kids tried the Rose Cardamom Latte, Ube Caramel Latte and the Elderflower Matcha Latte- all delicious! I loved my tall glass of cold freshly squeezed O.J. The service was prompt and courteous. Most of the tables were along the street. The only negative in our dining experience was those tables seating 4 guests were at an incline due to the road. This is an easy fix as most restaurants downtown have done. We tried to resolve the issue by pulling two 2 seater tables close together. Can't wait to return to enjoy more of their goodies

I have been compiling a list of cafes that are perfect for working at and this has now been added! Not only are there tables with enough space for a laptop and food but they have indoor and outdoor, wifi, and an extension cord for outlets. They do get busy for obvious reasons but you can call ahead and ask if there's any tables available before you head there. I love their specialty coffee drinks and their brunch food is divine. Working there all day is dangerous because it all smells so good!! Take all my money! lol please don't but I will gladly come back to work here. I even took some calls and it's not too loud, even with music playing in the background (great playlists btw).

Best breakfast of 2024. The duck and truffle omelette is definitely catapulted my cholesterol levels to the moon but it was worth it. It was greasy due to the truffle oil and eggs but absolutely delicious. The restaurant has indoor/outdoor seating. Music was on point and staff was energetic. A great spot for Sunday brunch

2nd date at La Clochette du Coin (B- or 3 stars) meaning "not bad, reasonable choice if in the area, and it's difficult to find a better restaurant." In this case, belled-up for the vibe and the people watching experience, but the food was very mid. La Clochette...what happened?!? You were pretty wonderful on our first date, but this time, you did a 180! Vibe was still cool and kinda fun sitting inside while watching outside, but not only was the food weak, the service as well. I counted 6 people floating in and out of the kitchen and the coffee bar, so you weren't short-staffed, but they seemed to enjoy the "chill" vibe a little too much. It was challenging to get anyone's attention, we had to ask for cutlery after our food was served, and the effort it took to pay...probably easier to get Taylor's attention at the Eras tour. MIddle Eastern Tomatoes (C+ ) : This dish gets the "+" simply because I love everything tomatoes, the ingredients were fresh, and the plating looked nice. The tomatoes tasted good, the labneh had an interesting texture resembling very light cream cheese, but apart from a tinge of sourness, it was a big plate of blandness. The sourdough bread, I know two home bakers - one whom I live with - both make nicer crumb, more flavorful, higher hydration bread. A Damn Good Hot Chicken Sandwich (C+ ) : NOT! Can I sue for false advertising? A masterclass in overpromising, underdelivering. Okay, let's break it down. They forgot the dressing on the side salad, or maybe ran out of oil and vinegar? The brioche was nicely toasted, sweet and moist like a good brioche should be. But no different than a toasted "King's Hawaiian" or "St Pierre" brioche purchased from Von's or Ralph's. The jicama slaw, a little sweet, a little creamy with a hint of brightness - resembled weakly flavored banh mi pickled veggies mixed with some cream - not bad, but nothing to write home about. And the star of the sandwich, a sous-vide fried chicken thigh. Nicely cooked, tender meat, but weak on the crunch, and way way way way way too weak on the flavor. For 20 freaking dollars, I kept thinking "Popeye's chicken sandwich tastes better for $5.49" and "I could buy 3 chicken banh mi's at Paris Sandwich." You've been warned. Flat white (B- ): Decent, but nothing exciting. Did they change the chef? What happened? Pretty sure I won't be back. -------------------------------- Food Grading Scale: A+: Life changing. You remember these bites for the rest of your life. Occurs very infrequently and when it does, you'll know it. You don't even know how to further improve it with a magic wand. A: Wow! Excellent. You felt happy biting into it. You're considering whether it's life changing, but know it misses the mark. A-: Very very good. Whatever it is, it's one of the best, but you can think of further improvements. B+: Very good. Very enjoyable, not to the point of "impressive," but worth revisiting. B: Good. A solid example of whatever it is, offering enjoyment, but not enough for making an effort to get. B-: Not bad. If in a pinch to eat something, this offers some enjoyment and is a reasonable option. C+: Mediocre plus. Pretty average, but with one or two positive characteristics you can identify. C: Mediocre. "Meh". Very average. Not bad enough to make you angry, but nothing good about it at all. C-: Bad. You recognize it for what it is, but a very bad rendition. Your foodie self is a little pissed, and feeling like a dummy you ordered it. D: Awful. Whoever cooked it should be ashamed of themself. Somehow, you still managed to swallow a bite. F: WTF is this? Inedible. One chew, you had to spit it out. Fire the chef.

Wonderful, beach, location, energized people, and great food. Make this a wonderful stop on any weekend.

This place is definitely one of better brunch spots in PB. A little off the main road, parking can be found on the streets. The restaurant itself is very clean and cozy. There are a number of tables to sit inside and out. You order at the counter and they will bring the food to you. Their coffee is amazing. I also ordered their shrimp cake benedict. It was a great place to eat with my buddies after paddle boarding all morning.

Came on a Sunday and street parking was easy enough. There was a ton of people and the line fluctuated a lot! I ordered the vanilla latte and got a croissant and my friends got the potatoes which were super crispy and salty and delicious! I liked the bread and pastries but don't think that I was able to order that many this time. Felt like it was very lively and bustling for a Sunday morning.

This place is definitely a popular spot for hot beverages and baked goods! I stopped by during the week and easily found street parking. I placed my order with the friendly cashier and found a table in their patio. My chai latte was superb, the beignets were perfectly fluffy and sweet, and the savory baked good I ordered was my favorite! My total was over $30 for 2 drinks and 2 pastries which I thought was a bit steep but you should definitely check them out if you're looking for a nice coffee spot with a chill ambiance.

I'm visiting San Diego from out of town and was staying in the area. I walked over and was pleasantly surprised. The seasonal coffee, drip and breakfast croissant were exceptional. Great ambiance. Would highly recommend.

The plain croissant is nothing special. It isn't buttery enough, and it doesn't have the subtle sweetness of a good croissant. However the kouign amann is good - not too sweet, lots of layers, and buttery. I bought one and after I tried it outside, I went back in and bought two more.

I felt the food here was a bit weak. I ordered the egg Benedict sandwich. But that's a lot of ham, pouches egg was ok, but hollandaise sauce was too sour. It really didn't pull in all ingredients to make a 1 unified flavor, as it should have. Wife got a croissant sandwich and starts comparing to other places we been to and I agree. We had better. Sorry, but this place didn't quite make the, I wanna visit this place again list

Cute cafe with indoor and outdoor seating and good service. We had the croque monsieur and they cut it in half for us so that was nice! Giving it 4 stars because the Matcha powder they use isn't as vibrant as it should be and the drink tasted more like cold milk than a Matcha

Love their Kouign Amann so much so I have to give a five star. Please let them warm it up for you. Very flaky and every bite is a joy. Blue bottle coffee sources their pastry from La Clochette's bakery, i.e. Hommage Bakehouse. Recently they have Kouign Amann in earl grey flavor. OMG if you love milk tea or earl grey, it's a must try. Their coffee is also very top notch. Latte art is not consistent though, sometimes very good but sometimes not really impressive. Their hot chocolate also has latte art! They also have many options for brunch. I tried the Jidori wings and Duck brandy tartine. Both are a little too sweet for me, otherwise would be good. The duck tartine is like a fusion with Thai, as the sauce is similar to Thai coconut green curry. The Judori wings is likely soy sauce based and also a Asian fusion, but it's less impressive to me.

Amazing little spot for coffee or a snack! Came here recently to get some work done and really enjoyed the whole experience. The rose lavender latte was sooo good as was the lemon blueberry scone. Everyone who works here is so nice and the vibe can't be beat! Indoor and outdoor seating are both an option and they are very dog friendly too!

Combining eggs Benedict and Croissants is genius. Just get them, you won't regret it. I was impressed with the massive bowl of fruit I ordered as a side. It was so much I ended up sharing with others at the table because I couldn't finish it all. Make sure to order one of their lattes too. So good!

Saved the best for last! This was the last of 5 restaurants I hosted as part of my MeetUp Fun Diego Ladies foodie adventure for San Diego Restaurant Week and it was by far the best! This restaurant does not take reservations, so my friend and I came early to grab a table for our party of 6. It's a good thing we did, because the place was super busy on Sunday! While waiting for our party to show up, we reviewed the San Diego Restaurant Week menu and decided to share the Tasting Set. $35 included the following: 2 x Drinks - choice of coffee, cold brew, soda, kombucha. For espresso drinks upgrade (Extra $5) 2 x Pastries 2 x Choice of Entrees (Listed above) 2 x Beignet Pair For the drinks, we both ordered a cold brew. For the entrees, we ordered the golden beets salad and the shrimp cake benedict and split those in half so we could sample both. For the pastries, we selected the Kouign Amann and Coconut Guava Kouign Amann. We also got 2 beignets. The cold brew tasted very refreshing and we did not need to add any sugar. It tasted great as is. The golden beets salad was amazing. I loved the dressing and the candied pecans. The shrimp cake benedict was delicious, the eggs perfectly poached. Of the 2 pastries, I preferred the original Kouign Amann. While the coconut guava was good, it was a bit too tart. The classic Kouign Amann was perfect as is. The beignets were very light and airy, not too sweet. We honestly loved every bite of everything that was ordered. This place was super busy, but they were also super efficient! We had food delivered to our table within minutes of ordering them. The staff were all very friendly and courteous. I loved the ambiance too! On a sunny day like last Sunday, it was the ideal setting for a Sunday brunch outdoors. Parking wasn't too bad, we were able to easily find street parking, free and unlimited hours. I definitely recommend this restaurant, but remember to come early to beat the crowd! They open at 7am (we got there at 9:45am).

We walked here from our hotel to have brunch, and so glad we did! I tried the So-Cal Tartine (turns out to be a fancy name for avocado toast). It was yummy, as was the chocolate croissant we shared. The cappuccino was delicious and artfully presented. Almost too pretty to drink. Almost. This was obviously a popular place, but the service was prompt all the way around. We ended up sitting outside to eat as it was full inside, and we were lucky to grab one of the last remaining tables on the sidewalk. It was a lovely day and we were happy to be there.

The duck tartine was fantastic. The outdoor seating was a bit too hot for me and the sun was in my face. The omelette was alright. Espresso drinks were strong. Service was alright-you order at counter and pick up a number.

Wow! Just Wow! This is a place that really pays attention to the details. Amazing Ingridients with meticulous execution. All the food here is amazing and service is super attentive. The only downside is that seating can be really limited and the tables outside can lack shade and are very small. All around a place that I keep coming back to.

Duck tartine is OUT OF THIS WORLD! Highly recommend! So moist and full of flavor. I have told all of my friends to go.

Don't order takeout and you should be fine. I've had missing items, or sometimes they're out of something and don't bother to tell you before you leave. That's not cool! It's like walking into a party where the music stops--that's exactly how I feel every time I walk into that place

I LOVE THIS PLACE! the food completely took me by surprise, it is so delicious. i got the shrimp cake benedict and my friend got the duck brandy tartine. they were both so good. the shrimp cake benedict is tasty yet light, with an arugula salad that had a yummy lemon vinaigrette. the duck brandy tartine is definitely more heavy but super flavorful! loved the food so much. for drinks, i for the pumpkin spice latte w oat milk and my friend got the rose lavender latte. both were great, not super sweet! the flavors are definitely very subtle but still delicious. service is amazing as well. the girl at the front was so sweet and friendly! ambiance is beautiful. i will be back for sure!

Breakfast date with the hubs. Earl grey kougan amann is a beautiful accompaniment to coffee, while waiting for mains. (I recommend having it warmed.) The peeky pesto tartine is a nice, bright, tart(ish) dish. The Jidori waffles were ok, but nothing particular to write home about. A quick note on the tables outside: there are a lot of little two-seaters, but the tables are very wobbly. They need to be tightened back up (I.e., it is not the placement of the legs). My husband almost dumped his coffee in his lap. Yikes! Also- there are perhaps too many tables. It's hard to squeeze in. If you are looking to sit as a group outside, just note that the multi-seat tables are on the road/in the patio-ed area and are therefore on a noticeable incline.

Open to trying other stuff here since I heard great things but I did not like the creamy duck & truffle omelette. So salty!

I met up with a friend here for lunch. This place has been on my list for so long! I'm glad I finally dined here. You order at the counter and then they bring out the food to you. We decided to sit out in the patio. The pastries also looked tempting, but I went with the croque monsieur and a hot matcha latte. My friend got a shrimp omelet and a hot coffee latte. I liked that they also made latte art with my drink. The food was small in size, but surprisingly very filling! I tried my friend's omelet and it was quite tasty too. I would love to try more of their menu, the next time I'm craving for French food!

OMG this place has become a new fav for us... And their seasonal menu is off the charts..pumpkin waffle with chorizo, poached egg and spiced maple?? And salted maple latte to go with it?! In heaven... Service is always 10/10 Great place for a Bfast or coffee date or working--they have indoor and outdoor seating and free wifi. You can't go wrong here.

Wonderful cafe their Ube products are my favorite. I get the Ube Caramel Latte with oat milk. Today I tried the Ube baby pancake crepe with bacon. It was delightful. I have gotten the duck brandy tartine, shrimp omelette and shrimp Benedict. They are using high quality ingredients here. Don't even get me started about the staff- I can't stop saying good things about them!

Oh my goodness this place is good. I've tried many of their baked goods/pastries and they never disappoint. Friday was my first time dining in with my nanny-kiddo and the person that served us let him choose from a selection of cute lil dino toy they have, such a thoughtful touch. They have indoor and outdoor seating, but the cafe itself is very open-air. I ordered an iced vanilla chai latte with oatmilk and an acai bowl, both crazyyy good. I took a sip of the latte and thought, "omg that's good." Then took a bite of my acai bowl and did the same thing, lol. Please stop by! They obviously put a lot of love into their craft.

This is maybe my third time coming here and every time does not disappoint. Definitely an underrated breakfast place/cafe in the PB area. What I absolutely love about this place is the breakfast menu that offers delicious and unique French flavors that you really can't find at any other breakfast/brunch place in San Diego. While it is a bit pricey, I think it is totally worth it. The most recent time I came here was during restaurant week where I got the shrimp cake benedict and coconut guava kouign amann. I was so incredibly impressed by everything. The kouign amann was super flakey and delicious. The toasted coconut paired with the tart guava jam in the center was the perfect flavor combination. The shrimp cake benedict was a little bit salty but it was still great and went well with a refreshing salad. You also need to try the coffee drinks while you're here. I love their latte flavors. I got the Hazelnut Latte and it was great and only slightly sweet. My only gripe about this place is how limited the seating area is. While there is a lot of outdoor seating, coming here when it's cold or raining can be a little more challenging if you're trying to sit down and eat.

I am such a sucker for a good pastry and they do it right here! I want to call out that it's definitely a treat as they're on the pricier side. For my butter croissant and 2 beignets it came out to almost $20 but they work hard here and the quality is on point. The beignets were freshly fried and warm when they handed them to us and the croissant was flaky the way it's supposed to be. Customer service is great... The guy at the front laughed at my joke so they clearly have great sense of humor too. It's a cool layout with tables outside and inside. Love the huge window they have that makes the small space feel very open.

Great ambiance, friendly service, and sublime food. By far the best Benedict I've had in San Diego. As a Canadian myself I have high standards for smoked salmon, and this definitely met my bar! Would come again even though it's on the pricey side.

Food is light and tasted amazing. Nice atmosphere and crowd. Very dog friendly and quiet

Love this place. First, everyone who works here is very friendly and cool. Second, the vibes are immaculate (great option for casual outdoor dining/working). Third, the food and coffee is always solid. We came for restaurant week and I got the shakshuka, which was super yummy. Also loved the ube caramel latte. They have so many other interesting and fun food selections, and I'll definitely be back again to keep working my way through the menu!

Went for brunch action at 9:30 on a Saturday morning, which was perfect. It was a little busy but quick service and tables to choose from. It was POPPING at 11:30 when we came back from the beach. I got the croissant Benedict and a dirty chai latte, both were heavenly! Perfectly poached egg, delicious hollandaise sauce. This place was so good and we can't wait to go back!

Please bring back the eggnog cold brew! it's my best friends favorite and she needs it at holiday time!

I love la clochette it's my favorite coffee shop in san diego, the best coffee the best food, perfection. EXCEPT i am begging you guys to bring back the egg nog cold brew, i've been looking forward to it all year and i think i have told everyone i know about it. I come here 3 times a week with all of my friends so i swear we would make it worthwhile. BRING BACK THE EGG NOG COLDBREW!!!
