Amazing little French bakery and restaurant. Had breakfast there on a Sunday morning. The patio was a great atmosphere and the food is absolutely amazing. We had the pain au chocolat, croissant, and the ham and cheese crepes. They were literally better then the ones we had in Paris in June. The coffee was also amazing. Highly recommend this little hidden gem.

Most adorable staff, most delicious deserts, on-the-fly quality cakes for any occasion, consistency is on point, authenticity from the deserts to the savory croissants ect. I worked for them when I was 16 and enjoyed the 3 years I worked for this amazing family. I am now 28 and still cannot find a better place. Merci! Best danishes, nothing like fresh baguettes with duck pate ❤️

Visited when the entire restaurant was empty. Despite that, The food was amazing as were the desserts we picked out. My favorite being the pear tart and chicken masala. It's just a shame the interior feels a bit dated! I would come back with friends for the food alone but I wouldn't want to bring a date here. We spent about $25 per dish, $7 per drink, and around $6 per dessert. This place is on the pricier side but not too out of budget.

Excellent food and excellent service.

The French Gourmet was so easy to work with, and our cake came out beautiful! They also provided small desserts for our guests which were just delicious. Trang was absolute delight to work with, she was so patient with me as we had to switch our selections several times and she was most accommodating which is so nice to have throughout the planning process. You will not regret working with this vendor, they were just the best!

We stumbled on this place and totally had a great afternoon. He ordered the coffee which was traditional French and delicious, and I ordered the bloody Mary. I like mine mild and they accommodated! It had just the right amount of celery seed probably one of the best bloody Mary’s I’ve ever had (and I’ve had a few 😂). They brought out French bread, which was exactly what you expect from a French bread, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside with sweet cream butte. In addition, we ordered dessert. He ordered the tiramisu, excellent flavor and I ordered the marzipan raspberry cake. Perfect blend of almond marzipan with fresh raspberry filling. The cake was perfectly baked, not too dry not too moist. We will definitely go back again for brunch or dinner at the menu looked wonderful. Great music, service was impeccable and the atmosphere delightful! I highly recommend The French Gourmet.

Dear French Gourmet - We wanted to take a moment to share our incredible experience with your bakery's service on the 4th of July. In anticipation of a very special event, we had pre-ordered one of your exquisite cakes. We knew that only a French Gourmet cake would truly elevate our gathering. Our day started early, as we had to visit my husbands parents at 8 am in Pacific Beach before heading straight to your bakery to avoid the holiday traffic. When we arrived, we were greeted by a bustling crowd eagerly waiting in line for their morning coffees and delicious treats. Despite the busy atmosphere, Conner, with the same excellence you would expect from a business owner, handled everything with grace, efficiency, and exceptional cheerfulness. Conner proudly presented me with the masterpiece we had ordered—a stunning American Flag cake adorned with sweet strawberries the size of apples. We left the bakery in awe of the craftsmanship and eager to share this delectable creation with our loved ones. However, upon returning home, we were faced with an unexpected turn of events. Our beloved shitzu dog, Ernest, had managed to devour the entire cake! You can only imagine our astonishment and distress—our dog had eaten the cake! Without hesitation, I called Conner to explain the situation. Despite the absence of another ready-made cake, he assured me that your bakery would promptly craft a brand-new one from scratch. The level of commitment and dedication your team demonstrated was truly exceptional. We were informed that the new cake would be ready by 1 pm. Can you believe such outstanding service on a holiday? We cannot express our gratitude enough for having such a wonderful team. Your unwavering commitment to customer satisfaction is truly commendable. Conner, in particular, deserves special recognition for his professionalism and willingness to go above and beyond. The scrumptious cake was the highlight at our gathering. Thank you once again for your exceptional service and for creating such delectable treats. We are truly devoted fans of your bakery! With all our love, Angela and Drew Scripps Performing Arts Academy

The girl at the counter was nice and efficient. The espresso, almond and chocolate croissants were very good.
