Parfait Paris
12841 El Camino Real suite 208, Del Mar, CA
Crema's Take
“Nestled in Del Mar, this independent French bakery and café excels at what it does best: handcrafted pastries and fresh-baked goods that locals can't stop raving about, from buttery cinnamon pastries to delicate raspberry mousse cakes. The genuine warmth here comes through in repeat visits, where the passionate staff (including a former French lawyer working the register) takes real care in guiding you toward their best offerings. While you're primarily coming for the exceptional bakery items and coffee, the attention to quality and personal touch is what keeps people coming back.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit, quick-grab spot, good for meetings. Pastries and light food on the menu. Family friendly.
