La Clochette is french for the bell
This cafe is a branch of its other location in Pacific Beach and La Jolla which closed post COVID pandemic. This location is in the Civita suburb community in Mission Valley of San Diego. Limited street parking available.
Many locals allowed inside with pups, so it's dog friendly. No outdoor, only indoor seating. No ceramic cups and plates while dining there. Perhaps after the soft opening phase, reusable cups and plates will be offered.
The staff were all nice, helpful and patient. One of the owners, Willy was cordial and super cool.
With anticipation, I was delighted to visit this cafe that offers coffee, tea and house made french inspired pastries. I usually try the signature items of drinks and baked goods. As a caffeine purist, I tried their double shot espresso, one was sourced from Mexico and the other from Columbia, both were potent good, but the Colombian one was too acidic for my preference. Currently no table service. The space was organized and bright clean inside and outside.
The display of pastries was a visual torture; I wanted one of everything! Without being predictable, I didn't order the common choice of croissant/almond croissant. Instead I opted for the unique oyster mushrooms and fontina cheese tartine looking pastry...which tasted trés bon!
La Clochette is a welcomed addition to this area, Mais Bien Sûr, but of course. Recommend!!
