The French Delights — Restaurant in Carlsbad

I can't express enough how delightful this bakery is! Tucked away close to Palomar Airport in Carlsbad, this little French gem offers a piece of Paris in Southern California. As someone who appreciates quality and authenticity, I was beyond impressed.

From the Galette des Rois to the almond croissants, the flavor profiles are exquisite. I was pleasantly surprised by the availability of their online ordering system, making it incredibly convenient to secure my cravings a day in advance. And let's not forget their catering services, which added a touch of elegance to a real estate showing I attended recently.

You must try their vanilla macaroon—its creamy texture is truly melt-in-your-mouth. For brunch enthusiasts, their breakfast brioche with ham and egg is an absolute must-try. The owner sources teas from the esteemed French company, Le Palais des Thés, which pairs beautifully with their wide array of pastries.

While they are not open all weekdays (we can't have everything, can we?), their pastries are worth the wait. The staff is delightful, offering quality ingredients even in their simple sandwiches, and the atmosphere is cozy with both indoor and patio seating.

Ignore the naysayers; the majority of us know that this bakery offers lovely, surprising food that's worth every penny. Whether you're a local or just visiting Carlsbad, don't miss out on this exceptional...

I live in the East Coast, my son works in California and it was going to be his birthday. I wanted to get him a cake as he wouldn’t have any family with him for his birthday. Just to let him know near or far I love him. I contacted French Delights and all I can say is wow! Wonderful customer service she even delivered the cake to my sons residence. By the way I ordered 2 fruit tarts also. He said the cake and fruit tarts were amazing! I ordered him the Fraiser strawberry cake, I asked if she could put Mango on it also. She said she would try and find some good Mangoes and put them on there. And she came through and did. My son is as very happy! So this is a very happy mom. I recommend ordering from here. This is a true gem. You will not be disappointed. I will continue to order from here. Thank you for the wonderful and easy ...

I am French and since I moved to San Diego I was looking for a place where to eat a real chocolate croissant. I tried many places but never found the one. While driving by Carlsbad with my family we decided to stop to the French place to have lunch. I had the tuna sandwich with salad. The dressing ans the tuna mix (she didn't want to give me the recipe lol). I got also a chocolate croissant to try and I finally got the taste of the chocolate croissants I used to eat in Paris. SHE HAS THE BEST PASTRIES!! Update I subscribed to her pastries box 2 weeks after and now I get my pastries at home once per month**

Check their hours of operation before going there. I think she opens only 3...
