Bonjour Patisserie

I stopped by Bonjour Patisserie while visiting San Diego and enjoyed sitting outside on a slow Sunday morning. The service was friendly and welcoming, and the café itself is a pleasant place to linger. When I travel, I usually gravitate toward a classic croissant or pain au chocolat, but since they offer some more international options, I decided to try the kouign-amann. True to kouign-amann style (Breton), it was caramelized and rich, though I personally missed the buttery lamination I look for in a classic croissant. The pastries here also tend to be on the larger, more dessert-forward side, which made it harder for me to savor the delicate butter flavor I usually enjoy most. That said, I’d happily return to try something simpler and more traditional next time. They also have very cute

The pastries here are absolutely delicious! We tried three pastries (the chocolate almond croissant, fig and brie danish, and the nutella cruffin) and would order all of them again. The chocolate almond croissant was to die for and a favorite out of the ones we ordered! We tried one of the apple pastries at the Little Italys Farmers Market and were not too impressed, but are so glad to have gone to the storefront location. I would recommended getting to the store early in the morning for the best selection. They were sold out of all of the pastries by noon on one of the days we were in town, but still had other things available. The pastries are definitely worth arriving there early! The inside of the store if very nice and would be great for catching up with friends or for a solo date!

Best pastries I’ve ever had in my life, you can’t go wrong with what you order here. Atmosphere is so relaxing, clean, and cute! Moved to north county so now I drive 90 minutes for these. Worth it. Half their pastries are vegan but they taste just as good. Good sandwiches too. Location is great they’re just on the outskirts or little Italy so you feel like you’re in the city minus all the crazy noise and stress of driving. Cannot recommend enough!

The two croissant we ordered were absolutely delicious! I wished I could eat more of other options too. The staff were also really friendly! One thing as coffee enthusiast I particularly wanted to point out is, although it’s a pastry shop, they respected and served great coffee! Good taste and good latte art. I could recognize the fancy la mar at the back :)

I recently visited this bakery and was seriously impressed! Pesto danish was incredibly flavorful, perfectly flaky pastry with a rich, savory pesto filling that wasn’t overpowering. It had just the right balance of crisp and soft. Almond chocolate croissant was just as amazing. Buttery, light, and layered beautifully. You can really taste the quality and freshness in their pastries. Definitely a spot I’ll be coming back to when visiting San Diego! 🥐
