The Carlsbad French Pastry cafe was an absolute delight. This spot has been around for over 25 years. The staff were incredible and the owner Oliver was super cool. Him and his son run this location together. This restaurant is known for its hand crafted and authentic croissants and baguettes. I enjoyed an almond croissant. It was the best I've had in America. The crepes were delicious. The space has seating inside and out. Very family friendly.

It's always a pleasure to come in and get my lattes here, customer service is always great. They always have the yummiest pastries!!! The ambiance is super chill, prices are very reasonable!!

For all our birthdays, we ordered the chocolate cake with strawberries and banana and whip whipped cream. And they have great eclairs. Also Customer service is very kind and helpful. Keep this business going as they're going to rip up that corner in the next couple of years ,great Bakery.

Carlsbad French Pastry Café is always a must-visit whenever we're in the area. It's honestly one of my favorite restaurants in all of California! I even brought my sister, who lived in Europe for three years, to get her opinion on the pastries. She said they were better than what she had overseas--I knew it! My husband and I have tried several items from their menu over the years, including the Danishes, bran muffins, ham and cheese quiche, spinach and cheese quiche, ham and cheese croissant, bacon, egg, and cheese croissant, and the French onion soup during our last visit in the past 3 months. Every single dish is consistently delicious, and even the sides to the plates are too. I always make sure to order a latte--especially their seasonal ones--and they never disappoint. Everything is just *so good*! Adding to the charm, Olivier often plays with his band near the café door, and the music is such a wonderful touch. His son, Cassien, is always so kind, genuinely caring about every order and each customer's experience. The entire staff radiates happiness and passion for what they do, which creates not just great food, but a fantastic atmosphere. If you're in the Carlsbad area, don't miss this gem--it's a truly special spot! I'm glad to hear that they will be opening another location soon.

The gal that waited on me was super friendly so the service was very good. The long sweet was longer cuz I already gnawed on it. Delicious!! I haven't tried the Florentine yet, but oh my gosh, the pistachio mousse cake is very good with a surprise chocolate bottom. The real issue is I really went in there to get crêpes, but the dining room appeared closed w chairs all up on tables. The hours posted say open to 5 so perhaps they quit serving earlier than that. It's now 2:45. I also planned to get some sort of coffee drink. Between the dining room being closed and a very unhappy customer discussing a cake issue with one of the owners, I was fine to take my sweets and leave. With all the criticism the owners seem to get, I think it would be in their best interest to perhaps give a little? Sometimes the customer is wrong, but you decide they're at least partially right. I know they lost a customer with that couple who insisted the birthday cake they ordered wasn't what they got.

Always greeted when you walk into this bakery. This morning, I opted for a cheese danish. It looked pretty in the pastry case, but still wanted to confirm it wasn't a cream danish. It looked silky buttermilky cream. I ate it once I got to work. Indeed, it is on the creamy side, and also sweeter than cheese danishes typically are. I prefer the version that is not as sweet and creamy. I wouldn't order this one again for myself. I paid $4.10 for my danish.

My daughter works here and I asked her to bring some goodies from the bakery, to serve last Thanksgiving after dinner. She brought along some Florentines and other delicacies to try from the bakery on that visit, and now I wish I lived closer cause I'd eat those bad boys every day if I could! The cookie part of the Florentine and its delicate crunch as you bite into it- it's so good, then it just melts in your mouth! Then all you taste is that delicious frosting-like filling, (I have no idea what they're made of, so bear with me), and a hint of chocolate... and it's Perfection! It's simply, Perfection! I can't wait until my daughter comes to visit in August! I'm going to ask her to bring me some more Florentines! I'm going to hide them too, so I don't have to share! (I'm awful, I know!)
