Boston cream cake tastes as good as it looks, washed down with a mug of Bengal chai. Finished off with Maya Spice ice cream, delicious chocolate flavour with a real chilli kick to finish. Paired with their panacotta ice cream - a real treat for the tastebuds.
Love this new place in North Park. Great atmosphere, excellent service, and wonderfully delicious coffees, crepes and cakes! Perfect little dessert shop!
We stopped in here for something sweet before a show at the Observatory. The desserts were cute. Service wasn’t great. It was not super busy and there were a few employees just standing behind the counter. The desserts were aesthetic, but the taste didn’t live up to the price.
Visited on June 3rd and even though the place was packed the service was good and everyone was super nice. Many places could learn from this staff. Coffee is strong but delicious and sweets always look stunning. Crepes have the perfect balance between the ingredients and the actual crepe. Prices are a little high and parking can be an issue but it is worth it. Will definitely keep coming.

Review specifically applies to the coffee - while I’ve had the gelato before and it’s incredible, this visit I didn’t have any.
The standard latte was amazing. Served with care, a warm and friendly demeanor, and some of the best latte art I’ve seen in a while, barista Brenda provided 11/10 A+ service.
I will say for $5, the peanut butter bar is definitely not worth it. $2.95 at most. On the flip side, the fact that virtually every other dessert is $9+ makes it so you’re either getting just a coffee for under $10 or are blowing $20+ on a quick coffee and a snack.
The pastries are stunning to look at and the ones I’ve tried in the past have been good, but not really in scope for this review. The macaroons are also excellent, but all this commands premium prices - even by North Park standards.
I think the coffee scene here is somewhat slept on. For the same price, Figaro’s coffee game is lightyears ahead of Starbucks, Peet’s, Caribou, Intazza etc. The coffee menu offers stronger values than any of their food offerings, but if this spot is nearby and you’re getting your lattes elsewhere, you should seriously consider making this your go-to.
Soo good!! I'm gluten free (non celiac) and anyone with food intolerances knows how hard it can be to find yummy desserts, especially at a restaurant, and one that caters to both you and non-gf people at that. This one had it all! In the photo, the three desserts at the bottom, pumpkin, red velvet, and the pink marshmallow one were all gluten free and so good!! Also pictured is the reeses cheesecake slice and a tiramisu slice, not gf. They also have Gelato, most flavors seem gluten free. I didn't feel sick at all after.
Had to park a bit down the street and it was a little crowded, but so so worth it when you're in the area!

Amazing desserts , the presentation, the customer service, THE QUALITY OF THE PRODUCTS, no way, THE GOD DAMN GELATOS! All this place it’s wonderful how it looks, new on the zone and my favorite dessert “Dulce De Leche Roll”
I really recommend this place, I stop drinking coffee years ago, and this place make start drinking again 😫❤️.
So grateful that you guys are located now at hillcrest, welcome to the neighborhood!! .😁
Figaro Dessert Cafe was very impressive. Overwhelming would be the best way to describe it. There were some where around 50 different custom desserts. Most of them had a designer presentation. Anytime I get overwhelmed I always stick with the classics. I had Strawberry Cheesecake and Tiramisu. They were fresh and delicious. My sister ordered some Strawberry Graham Cracker Flower Bomb. It was good tasting and fun to break into. 10 out of 10, I recommend! In
Cute little cakes that were delicious and not too sweet. A little on the pricey side, about $11 per piece.
Top-quality desserts that won't break your wallet. The espresso was good, too, and paired well with my peanut butter pie. The French macaroons, while having the same texture as your traditional macaroons do, did not have your traditional filling; they tasted wonderful nonetheless. Staff was extremely helpful with our questions about what ingredients were in the desserts we were interested in purchasing. We went for dessert a bit late in the evening on a weekend so the atmosphere was a bit more edgy with louder music, and the huddle and bustle of many people coming in and out of the cafe. During the daytime, this cafe has more of a cosy atmosphere if that is what you're looking for. Overall, my friends and I enjoyed this cafe.
Its a sunny beautiful day in San Diego and I wanted a cold treat for the weather. Theres tons of delicious options, I ordered a small cup of hazelnut gelato ice cream and it was so good tasted just like a ferrero rocher chocolate. Will come back to try more from the menu
Outstanding little dessert shop! You have to try the pink lady it's amazing. Would've given 5 stars but it's just a little pricey.
