San Diego's nine-year-old La Clochette Cafe & Bakery has opened a new branch of its French bakery and cafe in Mission Valley.
Originally founded in La Jolla in 2015, La Clochette Du Coin was the storefront cafe concept eventually backed by since-shuttered Hommage Bakehouse bakery. La Clochette eventually closed their outpost at 6830 La Jolla Boulevard and relocated to Cass Street in San Diego's Pacific Beach in late 2019, where the eatery continues to thrive.
With last year's sudden closure of Hommage Bakehouse and it abandoning its leased space within Mission Valley's Civita community, La Clochette took over the quaint unit to launch a new satellite cafe, serving a French-inspired breakfast, brunch and lunch with a California twist. Now open, the cafe offers a wide variety of breads and pastries and an extensive beverage menu, as well as fruit bowls, salads, egg dishes, sandwiches, and desserts.

"We are excited to welcome the Mission Valley community to experience the ultimate blend of French sophistication and park-side relaxation," said La Clochette owner Karine Beers. "Our restaurant is steps away from the beautiful Civita Park, the perfect venue for alfresco dining. Join us to discover why we're not just a café; we’re a destination for those seeking an exceptional French dining experience in the heart of San Diego."
La Clochette owners, French-speaking brother and sister restaurant duo Willy Wu Jye Hwa and Karine Beers, are also opening a new full-service concept called CTZN on the base floor of Solana Beach's under-construction Sandbox office, retail and residential complex. While little is currently known about the upcoming CTZN bar & restaurant, expect a full restaurant with a tapas-centric menu fusing Northern Spanish Basque cuisine with California flavors, as well as an onsite bar serving cocktails, beer, other hard beverages and wine.
La Clochette is located in the first phase of The Row at Civita, which also includes Southpaw Vet, Cork & Barrel, iNailology Spa & Bar, HTB Aesthetics, and Poki Bowl. Pizzo’s Pizzeria & Wine Bar is expected to open this year and Jimbo's natural food market is anticipated to open in 2026.
La Clochette Civita is now open at 7995 Civita Boulevard, Suite 11, in San Diego's Mission Valley. For more information, visit laclochettesd.com.
