Paris En Rose Bakery & Cafe

Amazing variety of croissants! We tried the pistachio-filled and caramel-filled ones—no disappointment at all. Although the croissants were a bit expensive, ofcourse you are paying for the location. The place is located on Level 3, and you get to enjoy a beautiful view of the Del Mar sea from there.

This is one unique, totally and truly authentic Paris bakery & Cafe, 3rd Generation family (grandma's) recipe, you will enjoy their croissant, bunch of cakes just not possible to try everthing at once even though my wife tried and failed lol sitting area outside gets really busy summer time. Clean place, very well taken care of. Paid Parking garage. Very friendly staff. Most important, be prepared cuz this place will make your wallet feel it, but you get what you paid for.

"A delightful taste of Paris" is how I would describe this Parisian Bakery. It hits the mark on delivering an upscale Parisian Bakery experience. Even the personal spoke fluent French.

This place is soooo adorable. Decor is so cute. Pastries and croissant items were just perfect—smooth, crispy, flavorful, and the right price for the area. They had so much variety that it was hard to narrow down to the items we wanted to try. I’d love to come here again to enjoy more pastries! What makes this place even better are the tables right out on the terrace that overlook the water. Parking is a covered garage that is free for up to one hour.

This place was such a great find!! I thought there would be a lot more people swarming the bakery, but it was pretty quiet and chill when we went. Everything was delicious. We got the raspberry rose croissant, pitachio croissant, and pear almond tart. The texture and flavors of the baked goods were perfect. The pistachio croissant looked a little too synthetically green inside, but it tasted normal. I got the honey lavender latte and my friend got tea. The latte was delicious and perfectly balanced. Their little patio area was very nice to sit in. Parking was pretty easy too!

This is a great place for breakfast and/or afternoon tea. I absolutely loved its decor and food! It’s very relaxing to sit outside and enjoy all the delicious pastries. I’ve tried the butter croissant, raspberry rose croissant and bow-tie croissant with chocolate filling~~oh my, they were all so amazing! Very crispy on the outside and super soft and fluffy on the inside. One of the best croissants I’ve ever had! The fig tart was also wonderful. Staff were very helpful and patient with me while I ordered the hundred pieces of pastries..LOL! 🤣 I definitely recommend this place!

I should have gone to the little coffee shop a few feet away instead, but unfortunately was sucked in by the reviews. There is no order on how you come in. I was skipped over twice. I ordered the honey lavender latte with almond milk, they charge for it being honey lavender and the milk neither is displayed nor are you explained there is a charge. The coffee was very weak and did not have a hint of lavender, and barely any honey. Their croissants are not made fresh like they claim. I ordered the espresso one and the filling was tasteless, and the croissant was hard on the ends. The other customers that were taken before me all received their pastries right away. I had to ask for mine once my latte was ready. I'm a local and definitely will not be referring anyone here. There are other places that are worth driving to. This place is not it. It was a complete waste. The food and drink were not worth the price tag. Please do not believe the other reviews. And save yourself time and money by not going here.

Cute place if you're missing France. A couple things for the owner. If you're serving cinnamon rolls you should have a warmer. Also the mocha needs a bit more chocolate, too bitter. Your presentation is amazing and my daughters enjoyed your creme Brule.

Very beautiful space and display. They have gorgeous pastries and desserts that make the moment feel like an occasion. There are a few tables set outside of the shop, and many more on the open seating rooftop space of the plaza. So, you can take your treat on over to any of the lounge spaces and enjoy views of the ocean alongside your tasty Paris moment. I have been a few times now, and most recently I went with my two younger children and their eyes were wide with excitement as they looked through the glass at all the enticing pastries and desserts. If you visit, it's like a higher-end "kid in a candy shop" moment for kids and adults alike. Pretty fun!

This was my first visit to Paris En Rose, and I had heard great things about their pastries. I stopped by with my mother and daughter for a little treat. While they don't offer indoor seating, there are a couple of small tables out front, and a nearby patio in the shopping center provides additional seating. The shop appears to offer a variety of pastries, but when we arrived, the selection was quite limited. I ordered the pistachio croissant, which unfortunately was dry, and my mother felt the same about her pastry. We were hoping for a more impressive experience, but overall, we were a bit disappointed.

Came there to get few pastries and of course some coffee. Me and my wife both opted for a pistachio iced lattes and they were good. Maybe a little bit too sweet for my taste but still good. For pastries we got matcha, raspberry, and raspberry rose croissants. Kids loved the matcha one. Filling amount was great. As for texture and taste we had slight differences of opinion. Wife loved it as it is, I felt like I'd prefer it to be a little less buttery but still enjoyed it. It is a bit of a walk to get to the storefront And parking could be a little easier.

No signs or instructions on website or on site to let customers know the location of the cafe. Parking structure is messy, and the elevator has something leaked out. This was pretty gross to experience, but it isn't the cafes fault-- I want to say these things are a shared responsibility of the business owners and property management team. Overall though this boutique café is absolutely charming -- it feels like stepping into a Parisian dream. Everything from the floral decor to the elegant packaging is soft, feminine, and thoughtfully curated. I picked up two Nina's Paris teas (Marie Antoinette and Fête de Versailles), along with a sweet little treat. The tins were beautifully designed, and the whole experience felt like something special. The energy of the space is warm and peaceful -- perfect for a quick escape into something beautiful. The souvenirs and imported goods on the back wall are definitely on the pricey end. Each tea tin I got was $30. It did take quite a while to get our drinks, but the staff were very kind and communicative. They were likely just opening up for the day during that first hour, so we completely understood. The quality and vibe made up for the delay. Just keep in mind, this isn't really a hangout spot. Seating is limited and the space is small, so it's better for to-go orders, gift shopping, or a solo moment of indulgence. Not ideal for group brunches or long catch-ups with friends. Still, if you love soft French elegance, thoughtful details, and magical little finds -- Paris en Rose is worth the visit.

I was in the center for lunch and decided to pick up a sweet treat before heading home. Small shop located on the top level of the center with a beautiful view overlooking the ocean. During my midweek visit it was already slim pickings. I gravitate towards anything chocolate and the only chocolate treat I saw. Was the chocolate croissant. It looked appetizing and pretty. I asked the employee how much chocolate the croissant had inside since I prefer a lot of chocolate. She mentioned 3 bars. I took a chance and made the purchase for $6. I toasted my croissant when I got home, took a bite, and was disappointed with the amount of chocolate on the inside. It was a bare sliver. I was bummed.

So just tried this for first time on Tuesday. The place has its pros and cons. First the parking situation sucks because you have to pay can't do much about that. The place is cute but has like only two tables outside the cool part is there's more siting by the restaurants. The pastries not gonna lie were good but nothing special. The 3 drinks we ordered and 3 desserts were like 50-60 dollars. I don't know why it's so expensive. It's definitely not an everyday place to go to but at least worth trying once.

This place was beautiful. The service is exceptional. we will be back cute ambiance. Great Lemon Pie.

Stumbled upon this shop randomly when I was craving for some good croissant and matcha. Unfortunately, the croissants tasted terrible despite looking super gorgeous. Ordered: pistachio croissant, matcha spiral croissant, and matcha latte. Both croissants are very stale. Pistachio is pistachio cream inside but barely any of that nutty flavor. Matcha croissant has matcha cream inside but again the flavor is very weak. Matcha latte is good (ceremonial grade and you can customize however you want, extra charge for oat milk). The entire order is $25

Reviewing specifically the pistachio and matcha cake, very delicious, nice texture and my favorite thing about it - it's not too sweet! It's also gluten free!

Somewhat hard to find shop if you are simply walking around Del Mar, but it's located on the 3rd floor of the respective plaza. The top floor has really nice views and a nice seating are where you can take your baked goods to go and enjoy. The shop is very small but very clean. It has a very bright and inviting interior with all of their items on display. I chose both the Ferro Rocher Croissant and the Pain Suisse (which came with some pistachio on top). The ferro rocher croissant flavor was something different than what I was expecting. I've had the candy a lot in my life but this version seemed to not be sweet enough/had more bitter taste than I wanted. Also because they dip half of it in chocolate, I couldn't effectively warm it up at home because the chocolate would just melt. So the texture of the croissant was also compromised in this sense and so I had to eat it more on the cold-side which means you don't get the crispy flakiness you look for in a croissant. The Pain Suisse was much better since we were able to warm it up. Very flaky and buttery with some slight chocolate/pistachio filling, this one was definitely my favorite.

Sunday, December 22nd, 2024 11:00 pain Suisse ($6.50): croissant dough filled with pistachio cream and some chocolate chips - exterior was crispy and flakey, while the interior was soft - pastry had a balanced amount of richness - pistachio cream was mild in sweetness and pistachio flavor - I would have liked more chocolate chips Service: - order pastries from the display case and take to go - friendly staff Ambiance: - small, cute shop with a table outside, and there is more shared seating in the plaza that Paris en Rose is located in

I was passing through SD and decided to try this cafe. Pistachio Croissant: The croissant had many layers and was nice a flaky. However, the pastry case is open so if you come later in the day the chance of it being stale are higher. The pistachio cream inside was overpowering and messy. The flavor was not my favorite. Strawberries and Cream Croissant: Forgot to take a picture but this croissant but it was good. The flakiness was there, the strawberries were fresh, and the cream was not too sweet. There is a jam inside that gives the pastry a slide tartness as well. Drinks: Iced vanilla latte was strong on the coffee. The matcha latte was missing the bright green color and bold matcha flavor. Ambiance: The space was very clean and organized. There was a shelf of cute French treats, a self serve utensil bar, and outdoor seating. Service: I came on a Saturday morning and the woman working at the front counter had a bad attitude. Since it was my first time it felt like my family and I were bothering her by asking what she recommends or general questions. Overall: The service alone has convinced me to not return. Pastries and drinks are nothing special. Prices are high. Parking time is limited. Unfortunately, this cafe isn't worth the pit stop.

I was in the plaza after a work out and decided to stop by this popular bakery . I knew prices would be high but I wanted to treat my family to some pastries for Halloween that evening. There was still plenty of pastries available around 11:30a that day. There were two employees working the counter. It's a small location located by Il Fornaio. The view on this level of the plaza is breathtaking on a sunny breezy day. The staff was ok , mostly monotone it seemed. I ordered 4 items and was surprised at the high prices. I asked if the pastries were baked there but they said no, it's baked at their other location then brought to this Del Mar location. The small cakes are not baked daily or in house. We tried: Pumpkin rolled croissant $9: - it was a beautiful pastry but so dry. The filling had a lightly sweetened pumpkin cream which we enjoyed. But the pastry dough was not flaky or good Strawberry Croissant $8: - super pretty croissant but again dry. The strawberry slices inside looked wilted and old Nutella Danish $6: - there was a generous serving of nutella which was the best part. The custard, underneath the nutella, was hard and not creamy. The pasty dough was dry and stiff. Raspberry croissant $7.50 - this was the prettiest pastry of them all (see pic of center cut). The pink color was unique and cute in this. The creme filling was nice as it wasn't too sweet. I won't mention the same theme of the dough texture. I was disappointed no one finished a single pastry that evening as they weren't the hit of the dinner party. It was fun to share but not worth the apprx $34 (after tip) spent on just 4 items. We felt the items didn't taste baked that day. I am not sure I'd return to try more items as it's expensive for what you get. Regardless, it's a beautiful location and might appeal to others.

Regular stuffed croissants & crème brûlées are really good. Customer service was just ok. We went back less than couple weeks after, the younger girl working there was MUCH NICER than the older woman.

The decor of this bakery is so aesthetic. I love the white, gold, pink, and floral theme! It looks bright and clean indoors, and they greet you as you walk in. I decided to order the: -Strawberry Croissant ($7.50) -Mango Croissant ($7.50) -Pistachio Croissant ($7.50) I also chose to get an iced flavored latte ($5), with the flavor choices being vanilla, caramel, hazelnut, honey lavender, salted caramel, rose, and violet. My friend opted for a bottle of sparkling pomegranate refresher. We shared all three croissants and we could not decide on just one favorite. The croissants were tasty, flaky, and filled perfectly. If I could only repurchase one, I would have to pick pistachio because the flavors were balanced so well. It's a cute place to go for a quick snack or hangout with friends.

Croissants - 3.5/5 : I love a good pastry! I had their almond & salted caramel chocolate croissant. Their almond croissant was definitely yummy but their salted caramel was mediocre at best in my opinion. Quiche - 3/5 : I've had better mushroom quiche elsewhere but it wasn't terrible. Matcha Latte - 5/5 : definitely grab it! Matcha to almond milk ratio was on point for me Ambiance - 4/5 : cute little shop! that's it, it's little. I kinda don't feel good in small places so I got a little claustrophobic once people started to pour in. I would say 8 people including myself made the place feel stuffy. Also didn't help the air didn't feel like it was on? It probably was but I was too in my own head to feel if.

I love this bakery, the croissant rolls were super flaky and a soft inside while the outside is crispy and sweet. The creme in the middle were soft and not too sweet either! The outdoor patio is so beautiful. The ladies there are so so SWEET! They were so welcoming and kind. Will come back when I get the chance!

Beautiful pastry shop on top of a little shopping area. They have little goods you can purchase on the side as you browse as well. Got the strawberry rose crème filled croissant. The crème inside was delicious. Not too sweet, light, and fully. Only downside is I can tell the pastry wasn't too fresh and had been sitting out all day. Recommend to come early. Got the 9 piece Mother's Day chocolates and those blew my mind. Extremely soft and melted in your mouth. Each one had very unique flavors from fruity to nutty. TIP: the lollipops in the front by the register are NOT free. We asked if we can have one and the woman said "yes" then we put it in our pocket at the end charged us $2 per without saying the price. Food: 4.3/5 (better if come earlier in day) Service: 3/5 Ambience: 4.6/5 (very cute and chic. Lots of open shops right outside with live music)

Review: 1 Star I drove all the way from San Diego to visit this store, only to be told they were closed even though it says they open at 4:00 PM. I arrived around 3:50 and waited near the door. Someone came out and told me everything was sold out and that the pastries were for tomorrow. No coffee, nothing. When I asked to speak with the manager, she claimed to be the owner--but honestly, I don't know if she was the owner or just an employee. This is not professional. If you decide to open or close whenever you want, then please update your hours on Google. You can't just open the door and say "we're closed" when people have made the effort to come--especially from far away. Very disappointing experience. I'm giving 1 star for the lack of respect and poor customer service. I won't be coming back, and I'll be telling my friends to stay away too.

Beautiful French bakery in the Del Mar Plaza. So many beautiful and tasty treats. We went with the viral rolled croissant, it was huge and the flavor was pumpkin spice. Definitely a treat you can share.

This place is beautiful! Very small little shop but has a lot to offer! The staff was very friendly and was quick with service. We got the iced honey lavender latter and iced pistachio latte with oat milk! They are so yummy not too sweet or over flavored. Perfect hints where you can still enjoy the coffee. We shared an Espresso Croissant based on the baristas recommendation and was very pleased. There is this light espresso flavored cream on the inside. It was a little messy to eat but so worth it! Will definitely be coming back here!

Great French pastries. Service is fast and friendly.Ambience is very French. You can east outside in the fresh air air

Paris En Rose is located at the 3rd level of the Del Mar Plaza. We stayed across the street at L'auberge. Our room wasn't ready so we decided to give this a try. The decor of this quaint little bakery is phenomenon. The bike outside with flowers just exudes French vibes. Inside is clean and classy. The first thing you see is a glass case of refrigerated sweet desserts. They also have a wall of French goods you can buy. We chose the croissants. All their baked goods are a work of art. Service was great. There was a line but the gentleman we very patient and friendly. We got the Strawberry croissant and, cookie dough croissant and the salted caramel cruffin. It was really tough to choose but you must as each one was close to $8. The croissants were large and flaky on the outside, soft on the inside. I loved the cookie dough croissant. I'm so glad I chose it!

Had the Raspberry Rose, Pistachio, and Strawberry Croissant Wheel. These are all as delicious as they look. Although, I would pass on the pistachio. It was good but didn't wow me like the other two flavors. The croissants tasted so fresh! Over a day later, I had a bite of one sitting in the box on a counter and it was still crispy and flaky. Sorcery! The cream was also light and perfectly sweet. You seriously have to check this place out.

Street parking is not too complicated as you could drive up the hill a bit to park in the neighborhood or there's a paid parking structure under the bakery. If you are looking from the side street, facing the parking lot entrance, go right up the hill and enter through the side so you could directly get to the bakery. It is further away if you enter from the Main Street. And since it is popular, getting to the door faster will get you to the goodies first. They have different varieties each time I have been there but their popular seller is the rolled croissant. Although it is tempting to buy everything you see since they look so delicious and you have stood in line to get them, get only what you can eat that day since the next day, they aren't as good since they lose their flakiness. I normally get a few and cut and share with my family since they are individually large in size and pretty sweet. There's outdoor seating to the side with a nice view and it is pretty relaxing with the breeze.

The plain butter croissant was good, but not the best that I've had in my life. The kouign amann was a different shape than I'm used to, but the flavor was delicious. It tasted like they dunk the whole thing in a bowl of butter. Maybe they did. Lol. I want my sweatpants in the baby picture.

Right across the street from the Villa L'Auberge, this French bakery is fantastic. Their pastries are quite unique and decorated with great detail. We ordered the salted Carmel cruffin which is a yummy cross between a muffin and a croissant. It was fantastic. We also ordered a strawberry cream croissant and a cookie dough croissant and they were very good. The service was friendly and helpful.

I was out today doing therapy work with my doggo and was the recipient of one of the pastries from here. I will definitely be coming to visit. I can't comment on the service or ambiance but the pastries were some of the best I've tasted. Yum!

Pastries? Where do I sign up?! I love pastries and they have all kinds! Great service and beautiful view from the outside. The pastries were well crafted and tasted amazing! I was a bit disappointed in the lattes. We had Vanilla syrup added but all the flavor was left at the bottom. I thought it was weird when there was no flavor. When I got to the end, I got chunks of vanilla flavoring. I'd still come back but probably skip their drinks.

Very cute storefront offering freshly baked goods and hot beverages on the third floor open area of a cute shopping center in Del Mar overlooking the ocean! There is an attached parking structure with complimentary parking for 1 hour. The ladies behind the counter were so friendly and offered to make recommendations since everything looked so tasty. I got to try their Nutella strawberry croissant, butter croissant, and a hot chai tea latte. Everything was tasty but I felt the Nutella croissant had an overwhelming amount of Nutella on it. Other than that, the day of my visit, they couldn't warm the croissants or sandwiches. I highly recommend they get a panini press or toaster oven in the future. Their espresso machine wasn't working either..

Not your average pastries, certainly not your average cost... all the while worth it! The service was nothing to complain about; they were attentive and friendly, gladly explained everything my party and I had questions for. The store is clean and modern, yet quaint. The display of some extraordinary pastries greet you the moment you step into the door as you are prompted to wonder whether you should really eat them or just admire them with your eyes. My personal favorite was the Earl Grey... something... I should've paid more attention to the name. The sweetness of the pastries were somewhere between "not too sweet" and "sweet"... perhaps a little closer to "sweet", but it wasn't overwhelmingly so. I'd recommend 1 for each person. My party and I got 3, and we ended up not being able to finish all 3 as desserts. Parking is easily accessible as they are located in Del Mar Plaza, and the first hour is free. The balcony is simply lovely as it overlooks the Del Mar Beaches from a distance. Whether you want to sunbathe or stay in the shade, they've got it covered.

rly good pastries but it runs out fast a little pricey but it's del mar so i understand it's expensive. nice views to eat around, no seats inside you have to take out. wanna come back!

This place is very unique and very beautiful. Their desserts are nothing like anything in this area. The cream filled croissants were delicious. I would show pictures but we ate it all so fast I couldn't take any. I will definitely return here. I also love the assortment of candies that they had for sale and beautiful tin boxes, I got quite a few different pastries for Father's Day and everyone left them

Came here on a weekday and it was so empty! Cute area and you can overlook the ocean if you go outside. The pastries are so bomb and it definitely is a must try.

Pretty good! I've had more authentic tasting croissants at Le Coffee in Temecula. The pistachio croissant did have excellent flavor and didn't taste overpowering or artificial. Although the service was annoying today 07/20 2:45 pm. The girls working there were really rude. I had an inside joke with my husband where we pronounce crepes as "crepays" because the first time he read it from a menu, he read it that way lol. The girls were laughing and staring at me like I was stupid and I really couldn't pronounce it. Yes, it was intentional bc it's an inside joke, but obviously they didn't know that but chose to laugh at a customer's face. I don't blame them though because basic broads are like the duds who are comedically inept wouldn't see a joke when they hear one. Update: the owner reached out and was very professional and addressed the situation and asked to remedy it. It's not the owner obviously, but the attitude of a young hire.

Finally got to try rolled croissants! Paris en Rose is a bakery with a great variety of baked goods that all look beautiful. It's located on the top floor of a cute plaza in Del Mar with plenty of outdoor seating. Luckily I was with a friend who had been here before; I don't know if I would've been able to find the bakery by myself. We came Sunday morning right after they opened at 10 am, and there was just a short line. Everything looked so good! We bought an almond croissant ($6.75), the Ferrero Rocher rolled croissant ($8.25), mango danish ($6.50), and a latte for $4.50. There's no seating inside the bakery as it's just a small storefront, but there's plenty of seating outside in the plaza. I liked the Ferroro Rocher rolled croissant, but I think its strongest point is the presentation. The cream on top tasted a bit like nutella but not the cream inside. I'm not sure if this is the case for all croissants, but both the pistachio and almond croissants we tried had a lot of cream inside. Definitely not what I was expecting! Of the three pastries I got, my favorite was the almond croissant, which had a light cream inside that wasn't too sweet.

I've seen these viral croissants on Tiktok for about a year now and we don't have those here in Jax. I found out that they had these in the San Diego area and was overjoyed and delighted. We went on a Thursday around 11am (right when they opened) and there was no line. Customer service was outstanding! Where the store front is located is in a beautiful area. There's seating outside, lots of cute stores around, and an ocean view. What more can you ask for? We got basically all of the croissants haha. It was too good of an opportunity not to miss. They have rotating flavors I believe. Here were the flavors that we got that day: Rolled croissants: Biscoff: 9/10 - I didn't get a chance to try this one but my sister literally inhaled it so I'm guessing it was delicious. Raspberry pistachio: 10/10 - my gosh was this so flakey, light, and full of cream filling! I could taste both the raspberry and pistachio in the croissant and it did not taste heavy at all. You can see all the flakey layers in it as well and each bite was heavenly. I loved the fresh raspberry and bits of pistachio nuts at the top as it provided a great crunch element. Regular croissants: Pumpkin spice: 7/10 - this was filled to brim with cream and the cream was light, airy, and flavorful. I'm not a huge pumpkin spice fan but it was still really good. Rose: 9/10 - one of our favorites! It was dipped in white chocolate and covered with bits of dried rose pieces. You can taste the rose in the cream but it was very delicate. The chocolate provided some a nice textural contrast against the cream. One word to describe it is "fancy" as I felt I was at the Eiffel tower while savoring each moment and bite. Espresso: 8/10 - I love anything espresso or coffee flavored and this did not disappoint. I could taste the coffee in the cream and it was an overall, wonderful, delectable delight. Pistachio: 9/10 - another favorite of mines. You can taste the nuttiness of the pistachio and again, it wasn't too sweet. I finished all of it in one setting. I love overly sweet things, but it depends on the dessert. Sometimes, the sweetness can be a bit too much. However, these croissants hit all the marks in terms of the sweetness level. It wasn't obnoxiously sweet, filled with cream (they did not skimp on the fillings at all), flakey, fresh, and aesthetically pleasing on the eyes and stomach. Was it worth the hype? Yes! It's like between $6-7 per croissant but worth every penny.

If you're looking for an authentic French bakery to satisfy your sweet tooth, look no further! I'm not really into desserts but the bakery here is sooooo good! They're not overly sweet or greasy, and actually feel light and less guilty after eating them. I recommend the Pistachio and Tiramisu rolled croissants, both are their best sellers. The store is also part of a deck overlooking the ocean. It's a great way to spend the morning, order some bakeries, coffee and read a book while looking out to the ocean! Del Mar is a beautiful place!

So my friend saw this on social media and told me we had to try this place. Were the croissants and baked goods aesthetically pleasing? Yes Was the storefront cute? Yes Unfortunately, I didn't get the hype. The croissant was okay, but it wasn't flaky or crispy. It was very soft and reminded me of the Costco croissants :/ It was just an average croissant. I really wanted to like this place, but it was just alright for me. Parking here is not amazing. First hour free in the parking structure, but otherwise you're looking for street parking.

Super cute little bakery. Close to outdoor communal seating are that overlooks the ocean. Friendly service and fabulously decadent croissants!! I had the coconut and my daughter had the matcha both were deliciously crispy & the cream filling was to die for. May be the best croissant ever. We also shared an almond croissant and a savory mushroom croissant that was more like a croissant pizza. Both were also excellent. Will definitely be back. Someone in line who regularly frequents told us it was good that we were there early because they usually sell out quickly.

The bakery is very airy, and decorated in a way that is so pleasing to the eye. The pastries we did end up choosing were great. We chose the lemon blueberry mousse, raspberry lychee rolled croissant, rose, passion fruit mango croissant and pistachio danish. The lemon blueberry mousse was sooo pretty but not our favorite. All of the other pastries were fantastic it was hard to choose a "favorite." The flavors are subtle enough not to overwhelm the dough so you could eat more than typical pastries that are too sweet. Good for the soul, bad for the blood sugar. Can't wait to go back.

My cousin has been wanting to come and try their rolled croissants. They have a beautiful location overlooking the pacific ocean and plenty of outdoor seating. The line wasn't too bad when we were there before noon. The pastry is delicious! Everything was so so good!

My kid visited and got me a Le Royal. They were all out of pain au chocolat, which would have been my first choice. Le Royal was refined and very tasty. It was not cheap! But I enjoyed it very much. Good place to have in Del Mar.

The coffee and pastries weren't anything to remember, even the service wasn't personable, the ambiance was not inviting. The prices were too high for the quality of the pastries. I go to Tartine on the regular in Los Angeles, and I was expecting this spot to be good because of reviews on this place. I don't think I'll ever go there again.

This place is so cute! The banana, vanilla, Carmel cake was unreal! The people who worked there were so friendly & had great service. We will be back!

Note: the low rating is due to the piece of plastic I found in my iced mocha latte. Initially, did not realize that this place is located at Del Mar plaza which has its own parking. It shares the rooftop with other restaurants and boutiques. Visited the cafe mid March 2024 on a Sunday right before they closed. They had just a few pastries left so we snagged whatever there was. There were a few people ahead of us and more lined up behind us. Food/drinks 5/5 Tried the Apple danish and savory danish. Also got the caramel dessert. All were really delicious. Most cafes that are aesthetically pleasing lack flavor and quality in their drinks but that was not the case here. Tried their mocha and matcha iced latte. Both drinks were very good! I was impressed by the flavor of matcha. Ambiance 5/5 There's not any seating inside but they have two tables outside. The cafe is very cute inside and outside. Price 3/5 Drinks are priced well but pastries are HIGH in price. Paid about $40 for 2 drinks and 3 pastries/dessert. Overall I would return to this place but not an empty stomach and be more careful with their drinks because I found a piece of plastic in my iced mocha latte as I was finishing it (see photo).

Were these viral rolled croissants worth it? In my opinion, not really. Yes, they are pretty and large but I cannot say these are the best. My friends and I got here on a Sunday morning, 10 minutes before they opened, and were the second group in line. This is what we ordered: -Ferrero Rocher Rolled Croissant: Too soft. However, we enjoyed the hazelnut filling the most out of all the croissants we ordered. -Biscoff Rolled Croissant: Also too soft. Cream filling was like a cookie butter flavor but quite forgetful. -Raspberry Rose Croissant: Light raspberry flavor. Rose was enough for me but my friend thought it was too overpowering. -Pistachio Croissant: Nutty cream filling but still bready. The shop and parking: The store itself is really cute and I can see why it's gotten really popular over social media. The decor is pastel and floral all over, various Parisian goodies for sale on the back wall, and there is a cute bike and bouquet out front. There are many menu offerings with a main case that displays the different types of croissants and danishes, and the smaller case on the front that has all the tarts and macarons. The service was fine but nothing extraordinary. The store is located in a really cute plaza with plenty of outdoor seating. There is free parking in the garage underneath, I believe for up to 1 hr. Since we had no wait, we were finished with ordering and trying the croissants within about 25 minutes. Overall: None of the croissants had a nice crunch when we bit into them. I would only come back if I were already in the area and to try the other desserts like the danishes and tarts, but I certainly would not wait more than 10 minutes in line. I think Izola croissants are much more worth it.

After receiving a message from the owner and chef, I decided to give them another chance. After working so hard, she felt devastated that someone in her employ wasn't very polite to her customers. She offed free coffee for my return. Although it was a nice offer, I didn't want her to treat me as I want my review to be honest. So after having lunch at our usual Pacifica restaurant, we decided to pick up couple of desserts at Paris en Rose for our afternoon tea. There was a line which moved quickly. The young lady behind the counter was very pleasant and helpful. I did see the owner/chef Annie helping in the front, but didn't introduce myself as they were busy and quite frankly, I wasn't there for anything gratis. I got the almond croissant and raspberry rose croissant to go. Both were incredible! What makes this place different is the way these beautiful desserts are made. You can get a croissant anywhere. These croissants are so different and superior to other croissants. I'm glad I gave it another shot and returned. Looking forward to adding this bakery in my rotation and purchasing desserts for special occasions. For those that don't know where they are located. It's to the right of il Fornaio.

This is a tiny shop with lots of foot traffic. After waiting about 30 mins, we found that there were no longer any flavored croissants left, so we ordered an apple danish and slice of chocolate cake, along with an americano and a caramel iced latte. Some things to note: while they have a large selection, since they are very popular, they likely won't have what you want by the time you get to the front of the line. It's best to come right at opening because the lines get so long. The Apple danish was alright- a little dry to my liking, hardly any cream cheese and hardly an apple. Also, the espresso drinks were not good- my drink was mostly milk and ice.
