About Cafe de l'Opera

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 9 indoor tables and 3-4 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 customers appreciate the warm service and commend the staff for their poise in challenging situations. While the atmosphere is cozy, the street can be noisy and may have homeless individuals nearby. Standout items include the croissants, such as the almond croissant, blueberry cheese croissant, and the salmon bagel, which is fresh and piled with salmon. Although the wait time for orders can be longer due to one person often handling all the drinks and food, the quality of the food makes it worth the visit. Customers express enthusiasm about returning to try more delightful meals like Quiche Lorraine and other offerings like breakfast wraps and avocado toast with a poached egg.
