Taste at the Cove is an annual charity event that benefits the San Diego Sports Medicine Foundation…read moreand it took place at Ellen Browning Scripps Park in La Jolla Cove. I'm surprised that I have never heard of this fundraiser before, which is now in its 8th year! This event featured food from San Diego's top-rated restaurants, a fashion show, as well as silent and live auctions. As an attendee, I did have my own seat, but most of the people just stood around mingling instead. I got to sample almost everything that was offered, except that a couple of the vendors ran out of things...It was fun checking out all of the items available for the silent auction too. The fashion show was pretty short though, so I hope that they have more clothes to model next year!

Participating in this event I received a ton of great emotions and met many interesting and…read moreunordinary people who look for making someone lives easier. I look forward coming back next year

When I eat that, I prefer to takeoff the hard layers and then savor the yummy middle separately. It's a whole experience! Well, I originally came for the croissant. I also ordered some Too Good To Go bags to see about testing other things out. To my surprise, there were some savory croissants bread and Napoleon's. I always assume Napoleon's were overrated and then I got to try this and thought wow I get why they make these now.

I ordered desserts from this bakery for a special occasion and was disappointed, especially given…read morethe cost of the order. When I placed the order, the employee asked if I would like to leave a gratuity. I told her I preferred to wait until I received the order, but she said they only accept tips in advance. I found that surprising, but I went ahead and left the tip anyway, expecting excellent service and attention to detail. The large strawberry cake was disappointing. It contained whole (not sliced) strawberries, (one had the green stem still attached) baked into the cake. Not only was this unexpected, but it also made the cake difficult to slice and serve. And truthfully, it wasn't very enjoyable biting into large whole strawberries. The cake itself was good (but not great), but for something costing close to $100, I expected much better. We also specifically ordered three vegan, gluten-free mini cakes. When my daughter picked up the order, she was told they had forgotten to make them. Instead, they offered gluten-free substitutes and, for the vegan option, a muffin because that was all they had available. She was left with no real choice but to accept the substitutions. Okay, what can we do, but why they didn't make them or call in advance to let us know? The biggest letdown was the response when I called. Rather than acknowledging the mistakes or trying to make things right, I was told that this is simply how they make the strawberry cake and that the substituted desserts were an acceptable replacement. After some back and forth, they offered to refund my tip, but I declined because I didn't feel that was the right thing to do. I also asked whether I could at least receive the missing gluten-free mini cake we had ordered, but was told they couldn't provide one because they didn't know whether the baker was available to make it. Mistakes happen, but when customers spend over $120 on a special-occasion order, you expect better quality and service. Based on my experience, I was disappointed with both the execution of the order and the way my concerns were handled, and I would hesitate to use this bakery again.

We had to set up stanchions for cake viewing because nobody had ever seen any thing like it. I should've charged admission because it would've paid for the cake! The attention to detail that Mahya put into this is astonishing, and that's just the looks! I was giving my wife a Johnny Was top for her birthday (scoring big points} and asked Mahya to do the best she could to match the design. It was so perfect that Johnny may want to get into the cake business . . . breathtaking I'd say. After the crowd finally settled down we anxiously got to cut the cake (kind of a bummer) and once again we were in awe. Never had anyone seen such an awesome display of 4 layers of yummy in their lives. . . . chocolate with salted caramel After another viewing delay i finally gave the green light to taste the glory of artistry. . . If I called this cake delicious it would be an understatement . . . maybe more like exquisite, stupendous or delectable. Friends that never eat birthday cake were asking for seconds!!! Everybody was so distracted by the cake we almost forgot it was Karen's birthday . . . unbelievable. Obviously I highly recommend Mahya and French Secret Pastry to everyone but Johnny Was . . . he can stick to designer clothes while Mayha designs outstanding, delicious cakes!!!!! Thanks so much!!

They don't have a lot of seating inside the cafe, but there are lots of tables and chairs outside at the plaza area. We were incredibly happy and super impressed with every single thing we got--from the drinks, to the desserts, to the famous halo-halo. Everything was delicious and perfectly balanced in flavor; none of them were overly sweet or bland. Here's everything we tried: ORIGINAL HALO-HALO: 9/10 This one was the more traditional version, having the brown sugar milk base with ube ice cream on top. It was really good, a little more on the sweet side. But I just loved and preferred the upside down version more. UPSIDE DOWN HALO-HALO: 10/10 This one had the ube base with vanilla ice cream on top. I loved this one so much more than the original. I really liked how the ube flavor stood out. I just think this one was more balanced compared to the original. UBE MATCH LATTE: 9.5/10 I love that the ube flavor was prominent enough here that you can really taste it with the matcha. None of the two overpowered the other--it was the perfect balance. It wasn't too sweet either. I also appreciate that they did not charge an additional fee for any of their milk substitutes. UBE BUTTER BAR: 9/10 This dessert tastes *so much* like the ube halaya we have and LOVE in the Philippines. Ultimate *chef's kiss*! UBE CRACK CHEESECAKE: 9.5/10 Creamy and luscious with a really good amount of ube flavor! Would gladly have another piece of this dessert, or five. UBE LECHE FLAN CUPCAKE: 7/10 I had high hopes for this one, but the leche flan on top was not as soft and bouncy as a leche flan should be. I found it a bit dry, like it was sitting out for way too long. The cupcake was okay--good ube flavor, but a bit dense and dry too. MILO CUPCAKE: 9.5/10 This one was really good--the cupcake was moist and fluffy with a great amount of chocolate flavor. I think the Milo was only in the icing, but I only got a slight hint of it there. Still very very tasty though! Overall, this was by far the best and most Filipino-tasting ube I've ever had here in the US--and we've had a lot of ube here. Will definitely be back!
