Went here for some desserts for a girls night. Very cute place and the staff was very kind and helpful. The desserts were delicious and beautiful.

Arely’s food is consistently superlative, and the staff always friendly. They made our wedding cakes (plural because we had a small wedding and a large party on a different day). We love Sunday brunch as well. Mmmm! Love the Salmon Eggs Benedict! Yum!

Ordered a chocolate mousse cake for Lunar New Year and it was delicious! A soft, chocolately cake that isn't overly rich. It was the perfect sweetness and I appreciate the cream instead of frosting. I do wish the cake box was smaller to better fit the small cake. They only had large boxes and it made it difficult to transport. The mixed fruit tart were also tasty!

Great service, great food, and a lot of vegetarian options. My wife and I have visited a couple of times, and have had a great experience. The quichés here are amazing. You must try their pastries for desert. We like the cheese danish. We will be coming back, and we highly recommend you check this delicious bakery cafe. You won’t regret it!

A pretty cute French bakery which serves breakfast and lunch as well. When we went there on a Thursday morning, the restaurant was packed and needed 15-20 minutes for an indoor seat. It’s so popular. We shared 4 different dishes and we all agreed the sweet dishes are much better than the savory ones. So I recommend the stuffed French toast and fruit crepes.

I highly recommended this french bakery for either breakfast or lunch. The service is amazing, fast service and a lot of food options. You can try the almond croissant, it's really good and so yummy. The pastas are good as well. Always ask the service staff what foods they can recommend.

Atmosphere look good. I had a to go order. Let me tell you hands down the best turkey croissant sandwich. I eat it 2hr after I got my sandwich so just imagine having it on the spot. The croissant is amazing you can taste the butter and you can taste the freshness of all the ingredients. Definitely will go back again. Hope you get tempted by the pics.

I got a breakfast croissant and my friend got a salmon croissant. Mine was good. Hers was very fulfilling she said. It’s a cozy cute place. Unfortunately I got a box to go and I forgot my leftovers there. I called back 5 minutes later and asked for my food and then I went back and they didn’t find it. They said that the staff probably threw it away. I understand but it was like 5 min. They should wait longer, so if the customer returns it is still there.

12-27-2025 I had Lemon Mouse Cake $6.25 and Peanut Butter Cookie $3.00, both were yummy delicious! Forgot how much I enjoy their pastries and breakfast here. Need to revisit more often : )

*Atmosphere definitely a French cafe feel *Food was good, the Nutella crepe was amazing *Service -- not so great, I came to eat alone and my server would walk by several times without making eye contact when I needed her attention. I had to get my silverware from a bus boy (and later, paying the check was a challenge)

I went here on a weekend at evening and was able to find a place to sit without a wait. I liked their coffee. Food tasted good and was filling but the cheese and butter overpowered other flavors. The service was fast. I wouldn't mind going again.

Hesitant to review because it's the closest breakfast/brunch/lunch spot in my area and I'd hate for it to get crowded... But... I also hope they stay in business for a long time. It's a very lowkey place with a large menu of delicious food options along with cases of various French pastries (croissants, eclairs, almond horseshoes, cakes, macarons, etc.) At very affordable prices. It was refreshing to see coffee for $2.70 when it's double that price in most places in San Diego now. The service was pretty quick too. My only negative feedback was that the hashbrowns were mid --I prefer them far more crispy and salted-- and my matcha latte was a bit over-sweetened. However, I'm excited to come back and try more of their food. On my second visit I ordered the ham quiche with a hot tea. They had many types of high quality (TeaForte) teas and the quiche was outstanding! A perfect blend of spices.

The 5 breakfast choices we selected were good. I always like to order a small side salad with raspberry vinaigrette to go alongside the main meal. For breakfast you can order anything from the breakfast and lunch menu. The Mexican cafe mocha with soy milk was delicious. However, the crape with berries came as a single crape with no dressing or filling but just fruits; the crape was small, tasteless, and dry. The crapes batter was badly made, which is unacceptable. Shouldn't there be at least 2 crapes on the plate? For the bill, they added whipped cream which was not part of the order so I had to ask to take it off.

This place came highly recommended so we were excited to add another breakfast spot to our list. Unfortunately, it did not live up to the hype. I had the Arelys scramble with hash browns and husband had the breakfast croissant with house potatoes. Everything was meh. But the item that was most disappointing was the Crème brûlée. French restaurant should have this down. Awful! One bite and there was no way I could have another. Hubby had the cheesecake. Not good. I rarely give bad reviews. I usually say nothing if I can't say something good. But this one, I had to say something. The service was great but they need new chefs.

I went here last Saturday and got a Hazelnut Cake slice, chocolate muffin and Opera Cake. I wrote and delete this review cause I thought it was too mean originally. This was before I tried the chocolate muffin. So I'm going to rewrite my original review and also review the chocolate muffin that made me come back to rewrite this review. The Hazelnut Cake slice tasted nothing like hazelnut at all. It felt as though it was either mixed or sliced with dirty/unwashed cutlery. With each bite and from every angle of the cake. It tasted dirty. There's no other way to describe it. The Opera Cake slice was a weird consistency. It was really dense and the layers were a weird texture. The flavor or Opera Cake was there but it wasn't as pronounced. Such as the chocolate on it wasn't tempered correctly. The chocolate instead of melting in your mouth will clump together and form little balls that you would need to chew. Not a fan. Never had an Opera Cake do this. This is where my original review ends. I tried the Chocolate Muffin later that day and warmed it up with a wet paper towel to help its texture and moisture a bit. The muffin was so dry and dense. It felt like it was some old inventory they had in the back. After trying this muffin I decided to rewrite this review as all of the 3 out 3 items i got were disgusting. If any one them tasted good I would say "oh yea this one tasted good at least" but literally not one of them did. Oh yea. All of these items tasted like they've been sitting in the fridge with no cover. You know when you leave food in the fridge and it has that fridge taste. That's what all of these have in common.
