Cafe de l'Opera is a charming European-style cafe located near the Gaslamp Quarter in San Diego, known for its delicious croissants, tasty lemon cheesecake, and excellent latte coffees served in real cups. The cafe features a lovely French atmosphere, with a few outdoor tables on J Street under downtown shade trees, creating a comfortable setting for intimate gatherings. Inside, traditional French music adds to the delightful experience. The service is friendly, and while the atmosphere is cozy, the street can be noisy and may have homeless individuals nearby. The croissants, including the almond croissant and blueberry cheese croissant, are standout items, although the wait time for orders can be longer due to one person often handling all the drinks and food. Customers appreciate the warm service and commend the staff for their poise in challenging situations, planning to return for more of those tasty croissants and other delightful meals like Quiche Lorraine.
