"Large variety of baked goods as well as individual cakes. Savory and sweet choices. Croissants are larger than average, amazing. Chocolate croissant had Nutella filling. Outdoor seating ìn no-car zone, with umbrellas and plenty of space. Price very reasonable."

"Coffee was okay, my hazelnut latte has a lot of milk than I prefer. But their hot cocoa was better. I recommend the apricot croissant, its sooo good! They have savory breads and ice cream as well. Plenty of seating inside and even outside by the patio. Service was fast and friendly."

"Incredibly expensive and mediocre quality drinks and pastries. I don't recall being asked what size to choose from for the matcha latte, so we were charged $8.75 for the (presumably) size large matcha + $1.50 for oat milk, which is absurd. According to the menu outside, the largest size should have been $7.75 (medium being $6.75 and small being $5.75), however there is an asterisks at the bottom of the menu stating they may increase prices due to costs of ingredients. Regardless, we had to go back for an itemized receipt because we were in disbelief of how a single pastry and a drink added up to $17. The almond croissant was pretty but did not taste very fresh, I feel that we could get the same quality from a grocery store. The matcha is a dull green color. There is plenty of seating available outside and it's dog friendly, and the service is solid. However, I will not be coming back here and I would not recommend this place."

"On a cold breezy evening the warmth of this coffee shop feels so good. My expectations were set high because of the bright fluffy pastries in the display case. We ordered a Creme Bruelle and Apple Crumb Cheesecake.. plus a latte and cappuccino. Overall, I give the food and experience a B. Nothing bad to say.. just not grade A worthy."

"This place is the self-declared "pâtisserie française" of Hermosa Beach... or Santa Monica... or LA. Who knows, they probably don't either. Now, when a place claims Parisian roots, it sets the bar somewhere between the Eiffel Tower and pretentious perfection. So no, I'm not giving five stars for the croissant, tarte aux fruits, or pain aux raisins. It doesn’t look French, it doesn’t smell French, and it definitely doesn’t taste French. But that’s okay, because this isn’t Paris - it’s California, where "authentic" often just means it came with almond milk. That said, on the other hand, their smoothies are the absolute stars. Better than anything I’ve ever had in Paris, where a smoothie usually means someone just handed you a room-temperature banana and shrugged. The pastries here had been American-sized for your pleasure. Quality may have taken a back seat to bulk, but hey, that’s the same trade-off they make in France when they try to serve a pumpkin spice latte. Balance in the universe. Big points for their veggie-packed salads, giant samosa variants, toast game, and pretty solid scrambles. But if you’re going to offer gluten-free options, maybe don’t look shocked when someone actually asks for one. California dreamers are used to chasing kale clouds and oat milk rainbows, and this café fits right in. So sip, lean, stare into the ocean - and if you're pretending to be in Paris, don’t worry. Everyone else here is pretending too. Bon appétit, or at least bon vibes."
