I am well traveled, and this is the best dessert place in the United States. My wonderful aunt purchased our wedding cake here in 2008, and our friends and family are still raving about how we had the best wedding cake ever!! If you want to make someone feel like royalty, this is the best birthday gift you could possibly... More

I didn't realize I owned the cookbook by the owner of this establishment until stupidly late. It was a gift from my family last year and I hadn't had much of a chance to use it yet. While I was perusing the items in the shop, I even noted that they had the same cookbook... And it wasn't till I... More

Splurge on the treats, and it is still less than a full fancy meal. The store is itself a treat for the eyes, noveau industrial with super cool doors and low key ambiance.

Great desserts and loved the ambiance. We were visiting for two days in San Diego and were told this was a must stop. I'll pass on the great advice! Nice walk from the busier area of Hillcrest and really enjoyed eating outside.

The line was 45 minutes although the place seems big and airy with a high ceiling, modern urban/industrial touch. All the cakes and pastries were all beautifully displayed and decorated with fresh flower.... More

These folks are really serious about their name! After a lovely few hours at nearby Balboa Park, we found street parking in front of this gastronomic eatery and proceeded to sample the best sweets I've had in a very long time. I chose a Dulce de Leche amazing layered chocolate cake paired with a happy hour 2-for-1 shot coffee, and... More

This place is on Fifth ave near Balboa Park. A very well run, clean, warm and friendly place with many standard and unique treats. Mostly baked goods, but so many I could not count. It gets very crowded and is a locals hang out. The coffee is fresh and many types of coffee treats to go along.
