Stopped in for dessert after dinner about a block away and the shop was relatively empty for a Sunday evening. Extensive menu, quick service and the most delicious looking desserts you could find! We ordered a panna cotta to dine in on, and then gelato to go. The panna cotta was my absolute favorite: well balanced and not too sweet. It was a vanilla cake with I think Nutella which was so good! We did pick up gelato to go, and the raspberry fell a little short to our expectations but I think that's personal opinion more than anything. Thr passion fruit was an absolute favorite and if in the area we would 100000% get it again.

I haven't tried much from here, but they're gelato is pretty good. It's not too sweet and the portion sizes are a bit large. I really like their blackberry flavor. I'm not sure if they still have it.

I love gelato.  Today was a very good day. We'd had some dinner and we decided we wanted dessert so we took a walk. We saw some interesting places, and I saw the gelato sign. Many  gelato places will also have espresso. This place, however, has a wonderful variety of goodies. They do crêpes, they have all sorts of little chocolates and some other pastries, but I ordered gelato. They had a really nice variety of flavors and I appreciate that It didn't  have that artificial color enhanced look. I decided to have a single scoop of a mango and it was delicious.  Now I'm not an expert so I couldn't tell you how authentic it is, but I will tell you it was yummy. I had the mango gelato and was such a nice balance of mango and creamy without being overly sweet I debated on getting an affagato however, I wanted to avoid the caffeine however I think this place probably makes a very nice one Some of my party had a latte and they really enjoyed it The girl who waited on us was very helpful and made us feel incredibly welcome. And I'd love that there were two cows on their ceiling, but upside down.  Such a conversation piece.

A little cafe that has so many varieties of desserts from cakes to gelato. The coffee was really good too. The carrot cake was moist and flavorful, the chocolate was rich and the chocolate ganache is a perfect balance. The gelato isn't too sweet but has enough flavor. The service was great and the ambiance is nice and cozy.

An's Dry Cleaners lines remain notorious so my friend recommended this spot. AMBIANCE: Parking: Street parking, some metered, some not. Seating: Inside seating, good for small groups, individuals, and pairs. Room for about 20 people. Vibes: Welcome to the gayborhood. Inside, the vibe is cozy yet modern--comfort meets artisanal. There's plenty of seating, soft lighting, and a mix of locals and dessert-lovers unwinding. The scent of gelato and freshly made pastries fills the air which makes you want to say "yaaaaas" FOOD/DRINKS: Honey Lavender (Recommend) Smoooth. A lite floral feel that's subtle, elegant and soothing. Hazelnut Cremino (Recommend) You got to love that chocolate hazelnut taste. Creamy and sweet. I think the hazelnut and lavender gave it a good balance. CUSTOMER SERVICE: Friendly and quick service. Brian was great! TL; DR OVERALL: 4 Stars. Good flavors, selections, all at a reasonable price. Figaro Dessert Café brings creative, high-quality desserts to San Diego. The gelato stood out for flavor, texture, and presentation. If you're in the mood for something special (and dessert-focused) in North Park, this place is a strong call. I'll definitely be back to try more of their flavor lineup. TIPS: * Go with friends so you can share multiple desserts and sample more flavors.

Located right in the heart of Univ Ave, Hillcrest, this dessert cafe has a wide variety of deliciousness to choose from. They def have a lot of GF options on the baked goods and Vegan sorbet options on the gelato side! They also have yummy crepes which we are looking forward to try next time, as well as their hot chocolate! Bookmarked!

I love this place! The people usually working are really friendly. The only thing is last Sunday I went and ordered 2 coffees and 2 slices of cakes. I waited 25 minutes and as others came they got their coffee and slices except us. I was sitting in front of the girl who took my order and I guess it didn't register it had been a while since I haven't gotten my order. I spoke to the other employee to check up on our order and she printed our receipt to put up and didn't say sorry that they forgot to put it. The girl who took my order was like oh you haven't gotten your stuff?. I was really more upset on the lack of accountability. I get mistakes happen but also I was sitting in front of her where she can see me and it wasn't that busy.

We tried the pastries and cheesecake. It was all super good! The Oreo cheesecake was good but not the best I’ve ever had. The other pastries were also very good but not something I’d run back to asap. Overall really good, though, and I’d for sure get more in the future if I’m ever in this area again!

5 Stars is not enough. Best pastries I've ever had after trying so many French places that I've lost count. Coffee was delicious too. I can't wait to try the crepes and gelato. I regret that I have but one stomach to sample all of the great things here.

Boom! Best gelato in the city. It’s hard to say how good this place is. 10 outta 10 is it. Smooth, creamy, flavor packed. It’s just the best. It is rich though. Smaller cups are more than enough. Yummmmmeeeee!!!

So Many Yummy Things to Choose From! We stumbled on this place after having lunch at City Tacos. I enjoyed a piece of Key Lime Cheesecake. Husband had some gelato. Other cakes looked soooo good as well. Probably a good thing we were visiting San Diego from Ventura County because I would go here all the time and try everything. Service was great as well. Very cute and crafty display of tillandsias (air plants) near the indoor bar seating looking outside.

Cakes to Die For! I have dropped in to the Figaro Dessert Cafe from time to time for a blueberry tart or a slice of key lime cheesecake, and these exquisitely prepared desserts have been first rate and most enjoyable. But a close friend of mine was having a big birthday bash, and I wanted to bring something impressive, so I purchased a whole cake from Figaro. I selected a large cake called "Milk'n Berries," a sweet heavenly concoction whose light, creamy texture contained plump fresh blueberries and blackberries. It proved to be the hit of the party--several other folks brought cakes, but everyone agreed the cake from Figaro took top honors. It was an expensive cake, but worth every penny for the immense satisfaction of all who savored a slice.
