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.

We’ve visited this La Perfait Paris several times, and we highly recommend stopping by. Every visit has been wonderful, and this time we tried the cinnamon pastry — it was the best we’ve had in San Diego! Everything is made fresh daily, and you can really taste the quality in every bite. The service is excellent as well. Highly recommend this place — definitely worth a visit!

UPDATE: 18 January 2026 Stopped in shortly after opening to grab some breakfast items, and the quality remains excellent. 🥖 The Bakery: Picked up a fresh handmade French Baguette ($3.50). It was soft and chewy inside. 🥞 The Sweet Crepe: The Fruitella Crepe ($12.00) was made to order - smothered with Nutella and topped with fresh bananas, strawberries, and whipped cream. A great morning treat for my daughter. ⭐ Service: Special thanks to Brian for the excellent service and cooking. He even provided a small side of butter for us to enjoy with the fresh baguette right away! (Original Review) Le Parfait Paris greets you immediately with a display of beautiful French pastries upon entering the Sky Deck. It’s a nice pitstop for a quick treat or a more substantial meal while navigating the Del Mar Highlands Town Center. The food: 🥞 Galette Complete ($15.50): A savory standout. The crepe itself was freshly cooked with a chewy texture. It came filled with creamy melted Bechamel and thinly sliced Paris ham. The organic mixed greens and balsamic vinaigrette were essential, adding a vibrant acidity that cut through the richness of the egg and cheese. 🫖 Marrakech Mint Tea ($5.00): Only served in a large size, it was a hot and palate cleansing companion to the savory crepe. Service and seating: Special thanks to Neth for the professional service and recommendations. The eatery is surrounded by tables and loungers, making it a prime spot for people-watching in this upscale food hall. Note: While the couches are comfortable, be aware that weekends at the Sky Deck can get loud and chaotic due to the music and crowds. If you are looking for a quiet coffee to read a book, aim for a weekday or morning. Overall: A convenient and delicious spot for French crepes and pastries in Del Mar.

We really enjoyed the food and drink we ordered from Parfait Paris. The man working at the register, who also happens to be a lawyer in France, used his skills to convince us to try some of the fresh pastries they had available. They were all absolutely to die for. Additionally he recommended the creme brûlée latte, which I really enjoyed. For what it’s worth, i do think the food/drink is on the pricier side but the quality was definitely apparent.

The worst service ever. There was guy so stuck up. I had a long layover and was watching. They closed exactly at 12 noon, when atleast ten people showed up, this was turned his back and cleaning the coffee machine for ever and after 5 minutes said that he was closed!! There should have been a sign at least so people don't wait for this guy to grace his presence!!
