Visited this place twice, both times my bill ended up being around 30 including tip. I tried their french toast which was loaded with fresh fruits. I also had one of their pastries which was croissant cube with chocolate or something like that and it was served warm and really delicious. Cafe vibe was great and espresso and latte tasted good and had the kick

Beautiful little French creperie/cafe in the heart of the San Diego Gaslamp District. I attended a convention there in October and visited twice in two days because it was so delicious and peaceful! The seasonal oatmilk butter pecan latte was to die for (I ended up ordering it both days), and the pastries and egg croissant sandwich were delicious as well. The employees were efficient, kind, and incredibly helpful. The atmosphere was peaceful and clean – both inside and out. I plan to attend the same conference next year with my husband, and I already have plans to return to this very spot for some of the most delicious food and coffee I’ve ever had. Highly recommend!

Okay everyone here is a fantastic hidden gem in San Diego. And for those living in Orange County there’s one at the Packing House. Parfait Paris took me back to the Parisian eateries I just went to in August, when I visited Paris. This one is a must for the European conosours. The manager Phoebe was delightful, friendly kind and so personable. The staff Ben C. and Ivy were absolutely wonderful, and had such a cute little French accent. The food was timely and incredibly delicious! If you want to go to heaven just for a bit, try Parfeit Paris, you will be sure to have your taste buds tantalized with the most delicious eggs benedict I’ve had in a very long time. The carrot cake was incomparable yuuuum, and I highly recommend the chocolate desert in my photos, it melts in your mouth. I had the best Dulce de Leche latte I’ve ever had. I had to finish the brunch with a sweet heavenly treat for later, I took some mochi variety home, that my family and I devoured watching our favorite TV show. If you are anywhere around the San Diego area, you must visit this place, it will transport you to the divine Parisian eateries in France!

Nice atmosphere, however staff is slow, we had to wait for a single crepe over 30 minutes (there were two other customers at the store only) and they didn’t make the order right. Some beverages and a strawberry sorbet were the only vegan options.

While in San Diego, I was searching every morning for a place where I could have a vegetarian-friendly breakfast since I’m Muslim. Parfait was only a 3-minute walk from my hotel, and it quickly became my go-to spot. I ended up visiting more than three times during my week in the city.
They honestly have the best croissant I’ve ever had. On two of my visits, I met Phoebe, the girl working there. She carried a soft smile behind her shy and innocent face, and she was incredibly kind, even making the effort to pronounce and remember my name correctly.
Thank you for the warm experience you provide, it truly made my mornings in San Diego special.

Mixed feelings here. The surrounding area smells like urine & weed, making it almost a torture to sit on their patio. Pitty…
The service is extremely slow – people here are clearly not in a rush lol but at least very friendly. But still overpriced for what you get. The coffee tasted great – and so did the Crepes (to my surprise). Can recommend when nearby looking for a coffee

I really like the many flavors we got, we got the lemon. We got the pineapple. We got a lot of flavors that I can’t name for spoilers, but they were all really good. I definitely recommend this so yeah! – Ephraim Keith, 12 yoa
Unique experience of amazing flavors!

I ordered a galette to go as well as a latte and macarons. While nothing tasted particularly bad, I was very confused and frustrated to cut a piece off of my galette that was drowning in bechamel sauce to discover that it did not contain a crepe, but instead two slices of bread. I don’t know if they thought I was stupid and didn’t know what a galette was or they couldn’t be bothered to tell me they were making a substitution, but I was very angry and had no time to deal with it due to my flight leaving soon.

We had breakfast there this Sunday morning. The brunch menu looks great and you can go full breakfast to light. I did the classic breakfast and it was very well done. Potatoes cooked just right (I’m from Idaho, I know these things). Eggs same. My wife had an almond croissant and says it was wonderful. At 8 am there was no wait and we sat out on the sidewalk patio. Happy to go again.

The cafe has an amazing atmosphere. You can tell they put real thought and taste into creating it. It is a cozy and beautiful place, especially when the big windows are open. The desserts here are absolutely delicious and the breakfast is really hearty. It is a perfect spot for an inspiring start to the day or a romantic date. I would just make the service a little more positive or friendly, maybe more like the vibe you get in France, rather than how it feels now.
