Isabelle Briens French Pastry Cafe

Such a great place! This reminds me any French Bakery in France! You have to stop and try what we call Le Pain au Chocolat! The owner is French, worths the stop! We also order our 10yo Birthday Cake, such a delice!!!

Best pastries in town! The almond croissant is out of this world, simply delicious.

Jan 2024 10 months later) Almond croissants are still over-baked to dust on the inside and NO baguettes at all?? Question the use of French in their name since the French would not tolerate this....Original review: arrived 20 min after opening and no baguettes for another 45 min since they had not started baking them : Almond croissant was over-baked/burnt making it so dry, which almond croissants should not be, and with little flavor/filling so would not recommend them. only saving grace were the croissants that were good but a bit over-baked on the bottom too. I live in France so I’m a bit picky but feel they could do better with a little more attention to baking times.

Delightful locally-owned French bakery. Fantastic pastries and breakfasts. Dog friendly on their outdoor patio. Wheelchair accessibility: Outdoor patio and indoor dining wheelchair accessible

Isabelle’s has the BEST croissants in all of North County San Diego… if not in all of the US! So flaky, buttery delicious. Not to mention Isabelle herself is so personable and kind, she sits down to talk with you whenever she’s not running around or making cakes. It’s truly a one of kind, authentic experience.
