BEST BAKERY

by Raivyn at Citysearch

Great desserts, beautifully decorated, fresh berries the best we've had. Everyone who has a cake from them loves it.

• Pros: Best quality and taste
• Cons: Not open on Sundays. Somewhat expensive, but worth the money

Family run shop with gourmet French cakes and confections hidden away in La Jolla's quaint village.

In Short
In the rear of a small blue and white complex on Fay in downtown La Jolla lies a sunny French patisserie with just a few café tables in front of a large dessert case. Racks and baking accoutrements are exposed in this working bakery, where Ms. Coulon prepares gourmet sweets like berry muffins, flakey croissants, iced sticky buns and assorted cakes fresh each morning. Thick, rich hot chocolate or café-au-lait are the perfect pairing.
