When in La Jolla, would recommend checking this place out. Looks like they have been there for a long time. Very helpful and friendly people! No wonder we could tell they have some regular customers. Varieties of baked goods, sandwiches and other lunch options. We just went with their croissants! They didn’t feel like typical croissant that we are accustomed to but bet they taste great if tried fresh.
Super yummy, we got the roasted chicken with rice, chile relleno, apple Danish and everything was delicious. Super moist chicken and flavorful, just the right size of relleno, Danish was perfect and not too sweet.
Girard’s is a true classic spot. I don’t like going to La Jolla, but I will if it includes lunch from here. Everything behind the glass is good including there awesome cookies. The sandwiches are always fresh and made with care. The soups are fantastic. Service is great.
I’ve been coming here for years. It is a La Jolla staple and a solid bakery compared to all the new hipster joints popping up downtown. I’d stick with the baked goods, breads, and quiche. Kids love the creative cookies in the window. Always a decent sandwich. I’d give it 5 stars but the chicken pot pie wasn’t awesome last time.
The bread, pies, and cookies are so delicious. The owner is so generous with giving out free samples to try. Staff are friendly and helpful. Thank you!
Visited this week from Texas. The Belgian pastries were phenomenal!!! They also have hot food and sandwiches. I asked to sample the lamb stew and it was the most savory & tender stew I've ever had. I'll be back!!!
This place is amazing. We stopped by on a whim after an errand, and are so happy we did! After sampling the curry chicken, we decided to go with the beef burgundy and brown rice. One order was plenty for two people, and the hosts were gracious enough to give us extra challah bread! We loved the spinach and mushroom quiche, too. My husband has a sweet tooth, and enjoyed the cinnamon jam rolls for dessert. We’ll definitely be back next time we’re in La Jolla!
Best bakery around. Try their ginger pound cake 👌🏼quite delicious, definite but not overpowering ginger flavor. Their Mandarin orange muffins are delicious too.
One of the best if not the best (my favorite) sandwich shop and bakery in all of San Diego county. Located in the heart of La Jolla Village, Girard Gourmet has such a wide variety of sandwiches, meals and treats to eat in or to go. Honestly, the best chicken salad I have had on the west coast. Friendly workers and ownership, always a delight having lunch there or to go and supporting small business!
We stumbled upon Girard Gourmet while walking to our planned lunch spot- it looked so good that we canceled our original lunch plans to eat here. It was INCREDIBLE! Staff were so friendly and their salmon & goat cheese quiche, cowboy cookie, and spinach & cheese croissant were out of this world. Highly recommend!
