WOW! The difference between ordinary and extraordinary, is a little "extra". If you're looking for the best desserts and cakes in San Diego, Extraordinary desserts is it! It is expensive, but worth every penny. That said, most restaurant desserts are typically over $10 nowadays anyways. Clean, modern, ambience...friendly service is order at the counter and take a number. This place is legendary, I think its been around for 20+ years now? $13 Tortamisu...Tiramisu and Cake make love, and gave birth to a delicoius mixed race cake. $11 Rasberry fruit bar...tart and sweet, fresh berries $14 Blackberry Forest...fresh blackberries blended into decadent chocolate and vanilla cake layers, heavenly butter cream.

Ambiance: this location is small in scale but lack of maintenance, both indoor and outdoor tables were left uncleaned for a while during my visit, and their restroom ran out of paper, street parking only with limited spots Service: friendly but overall disappointing, I don't think staff deliberately sold me something bad, however, it's not a pleasant experience Food: limited choices through midday already, I wanted to order passion fruit ricotta and black velvet, but they ran out both already, so I took their advice and ordered something else the cashier suggested BLOOD ORANGE RICOTTA - * sweet, tangy, juicy raspberries, cranberries, and blood orange whipped cream are layered in between blood orange juice moistened ricotta cakes, the orange slice looked very dry, and the cake itself tasted old, apparently it's made too long ago, and no longer clean and likely had accumulated bacteria, it caused bad stomach pain and diarrhea afterwards Price: standard extraordinary desserts prices, expect about $15 per slice of cake, keep in mind they charge service fee

(Dined 04/02/26 TH @ 5:30pm): Fact... these desserts looked extraordinary! After a relaxing lunch at Dunedin New Zealand Eats, my friend recommended a stop at Extraordinary Desserts before we headed back to L.A. He'd been to another location once before and obviously left an impression on him. Founded by renowned pastry chef Karen Krasne, her exquisite creations of showstopping cakes and desserts seamlessly blended global flavors with the finest local ingredients, and have been featured on many food TV shows. Would I have an extraordinary moment with these fanciful desserts!? PURCHASE(S) NV Adami Garbel Brut Prosecco Treviso DOC Bubbly Glass ($15.00): Screw-off cap, hazy translucent color, fruity sweet aroma, fruity sweet flavor, light body, crisp effervescent finish, drying fruity aftertaste. I felt this paired well with desserts since I didn't drink coffee. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=24&select=ekYLgUCz71V4zQO24ypSew Black Velvet Cake Slice ($13.95): Chocolate cake layers moistened with vanilla bean syrup, cream cheese mascarpone cremeuse, dark chocolate ganache and salted chocolate cocoa nibs, this cake was heavy, stout, and stuck to your ribs https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=24&select=E8CZe6S7aWefPjB9PW9Ldw but all in a very good way! The decadence of sweetness slammed onto your palate and wouldn't let go as the tastes of chocolate and cream cheese lingered. A tall glass of cold milk may have complemented this well but probably would've washed away all of the coated goodness in your mouth. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=24&select=eS8Ef2ReXJuUhTRlw82F8g Passion Fruit Ricotta Cake Slice ($13.95): Fluffy white ricotta cake layers filled with blended coconut, kiwi, pineapple, strawberry, and more in a whipped cream topped with a thick cream and a mango wedge, this was like the Christmas holiday fruit cake we all wished we actually got! The tropical sweetness in every bite took you to a white-sand beach as the waves lapped onto the shore; pure bliss! https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=24&select=oAmMphA3wJ9419C_LrqTVg SERVICE We were greeted by the friendly staff behind the dual-purpose display cases and order counters when it was finally our turn. Before then, we took our time staring at the desserts while those in front of us placed their orders. The ordering process was "cake", we were given a number to place on our table, and within five minutes, someone came and delivered our order. Afterwards, someone came and cleared our table. Everything was easy and straightforward - thank you! PARKING (Varied; $2.00 this instance): We found a spot along nearby Palm St. and fed the meter. Otherwise, there appeared to be available metered spots along the main drag of Fourth Ave. and all of the surrounding business streets (read any posted signs) - 'nuff said! ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE A clean modern place that featured the central lone dual-purpose display cases https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=24&select=hyEl53Ok2dx9IFyMsXhyKQ and order counters where everyone queued once you entered. There was a merchandise section while plenty of seating was available along the walls. There was also a partially-covered spacious sidewalk patio excellent for people watching or on warm days. Fabulous natural lighting throughout while various electric ceiling lights (inside) filled in the rest. There weren't any TVs while indie music played in the background. ATTIRE Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops. OVERALL Extraordinary Desserts was an orgasmic experience that slammed my tastebuds and I couldn't wait to visit again since they had several more cakes to try... in addition to a variety of beers, coffees, teas, wines, and more, paired with a limited food menu! Although these prices were elevated, the obvious craft, creativeness, and love that went into each of these cakes was undeniable. The type of service offered was more than sufficient. I found complete value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $45.00 BEFORE any discounts, points usage, and/or tip). And, they accepted my credit card of choice... AMEX! 5.0 STARS

Wedding cake tasting #3 of 3 - have heard good things about the taste and visual appeal of this dessert spot, but hadn't stopped by in many years. The shop is sleek, long and modern. We were surprised that many of the cakes were not available in slices - a whole case, in fact. There was only one case that had sliceable cakes, all of which seemed to have a fruit element. We tried the blood orange ricotta and the chocolate blackberry. Unfortunately, while beautifully presented and substantial in portion, neither of the flavors wowed us. Especially compared to the cakes we'd previously tried at two other local cake shops. My favorite thing was the raspberry orange sauce served on the plate with the orange ricotta slice, but those tart, wonderfully assertive flavors were, sadly, not present in the cake itself.

Love coming here for some yummy pastries! My favorite will always be the blueberry coffee cake I've tried everything and it never disappoints! Service is fast and they're quick to bring out your drinks and pastries. Place is elegant with lots of seating in and outside with a touch of modern elegance decor!

Hula girl, aka coconut cheesecake. Flowers not edible fyi. ^.^
Dulce R.

Located in Bankers Hill. Cozy place perfect for dessert and coffee dates. Cute date night or girls hang out. Parking is grim and can be tricky. Had to drive around on a Saturday evening. Desserts are 8/9, our group agreed everything was good. The cream/ coolie/ whatever the proper name is for the liquid was a bit overwhelming for the cakes we got. The consensus: The cakes 8.5/10 The brown sugar latte 7/10 Coffee 9/10 They use to have much greater variety of desserts and it seems over the years they have narrowed it down. Brought someone here from out of town and surprised that the quantity of desserts has greatly diminished while the food menu items has expanded. Considering the name is Extraordinary Desserts, would love to see the desserts expand while possibly shorted food item. Cashier was very nice and establishment was very clean including restrooms. Would return for a good quality dessert and coffee.

Carrot cake & Dubai chocolate cake
Anna B.

Definitely the perfect spot if you're looking for a decedent sweet treat. Got a few desserts to share for a group, carrot cake, bread pudding with merengue, Dubai chocolate cake and a few pots of tea. The desserts were good, but the extra sauces and syrups on the plate made it unnecessarily sweet. Dubai chocolate wasn't quite Dubai inspired, it was mostly chocolate with some pistachio. Service was attentive and friendly, menu has a lot of sweet and savory options, there's indoor and outdoor seating, street parking is a little trickier.

Counter

Extraordinary Desserts (San Diego) was... unfortunately not so extraordinary. Let's start with the positives--the presentation is beautiful. The desserts look stunning, and the space has a cute patio setup that makes it a popular date-night spot. The location is nice, and they also offer wine and charcuterie boards, which adds to the overall experience vibe. But when it comes to the actual desserts... it fell short. The Croissant Chocolate Bread Pudding looked amazing, but it was served cold and hard, which completely took away from it. I even asked if they could warm it up and was told they don't offer warming, which was surprising for something like bread pudding. The cookie was another letdown--brittle and slightly burnt tasting, especially disappointing at around $7. Service didn't help either. I still waited about 10 minutes for pastries that weren't warmed, and overall it felt pretty subpar and inattentive. Also worth noting--no indoor seating, just the outdoor patio. Bottom line: You're paying for the aesthetic, not the quality. It's a nice spot for a date or photos, but if you're actually craving great desserts, there are much better options out there.

Alfredo C.

Came here for a after dinner dessert. The location was a big hard to find, it's kind of hidden. Their selections of desserts look amazing, beautiful and the most difficult part is figuring out which to get. We ordered the Dubai it was a delicious chocolate on chocolate cake, and paired it with an americano. It was delicious. The desserts are a little pricy, but I think they are good portions and delicious, so in the end worth it. They also have a wine selection, but coffee goes best with it. Will definitely be coming back here.

Blueberry coffee cake
Peggy A.

I got the blueberry coffee cake, not amazing though good. It was heavy and I expected a nice fluffy cake not a dense cake. And why put rose pedals on the food, they spent more time making it look pretty then they do on flavor, I don't want to pick off non food items before I eat! the service was not even close to extraordinary! They acted like we were an inconvenience, in fact we could have waled out without paying she put ate bag on the counter as we she walked away saying have a good day, couldn't even stop so we tapped our card and walked out without even an a glance. I would recommend walking the 6 minutes over to "Frost Me" .

Mushroom grilled cheese
Danielle S.

Our go to lunch and dessert spot everytime we come to SD. It is a must! This is our first time at this location but the food and desserts were just as good and consistent. For sandwiches we ordered the BLT grilled cheese with the tomato basil soup and a mushroom grilled cheese sandwich. Then ordered about 3 different desserts including the black velvet, strawberry pastry and lemon tart. With a scoop of vanilla ice cream. The black velvet cake had more of a marscapone filling compared to cake. The strawberry pastry was delicious and warm. The lemon tart was also delicious and had a tarty filling. My favorite. I also tried their strawberry rose lemonade, which is basically what it tasted like. A carbonated lemonade with a strawberry rose flavor. Definitely not the taste I was expecting and very different for my taste buds. Overall, this place is good but I prefer the other location (little italy) is better as the restaurant is much bigger and has a lot more indoor seating. Both are street parking only. Service was good, quick with the desserts but took some time to make the sandwiches.

Bundt Cake Chocolate Raspberry Truffle Passion Fruit Ricotta (Slice)  Caramelized Crème Brûlée Bun, with Strawberry Fresh Lemon Scone
Mariae T.

Had a $50 gift card to use with my mom for her birthday and only going $0.61 over, we were able to order four petite desserts and a Strawberry Rose Lemonade to go. There was a line reaching the door, but it wasn't a long wait and actually gave us enough time to pick which desserts we wanted to bring home. Parking took a bit longer (fortunately free on Sundays), but we were able to find a space a block down. After making our selection, the desserts were all wrapped and well-fitted into a white box. Initially, I was worried about the appearance after unfolding the wrapping. However, only the cake slice seemed to be affected with a small crack near the tip (totally okay with us). It is worth noting the desserts took an hour drive and were refrigerated for a couple more hours before we were all able to try them. There were four of us in our family trying an equally cut piece of each dessert, and the lemonade was tried by only my mom and myself. Our consensus of each item is as follows: * Strawberry Rose Lemonade (Not Imaged, Apologies) * Very refreshing, slightly fizzy, and tart. The strawberry and lemon were more pronounced in overall taste, but the floral notes were certainly there. * Bundt Cake Chocolate Raspberry Truffle * The cake part isn't too sweet and wasn't as buttery as expected. We might've found it to be a tad dry, but for some, this was much preferred. Overall, the cake itself was well balanced with a very rich glaze of ganache. It was also decorated with chocolate pieces, rose petals, a pair of raspberries, and a small bit of raspberry compote (or confit ?) at its center, which worked quite well. * Passion Fruit Ricotta (Slice) * Easily the best of the bunch; the kind of bite you save for last and an ideal springtime dessert. It was light, refreshing, and very smooth. Also, the right amount of sweet and a perfect contrast to the other rich or dense desserts we tasted. * Caramelized Crème Brûlée Bun * The flavor of the crème brûlée was subtle and pillowy, with the crust also being a nice chewy texture. Very light and creamy. It was also remarkably easy to cut into neat parts. * Fresh Lemon Scone * We love lemon desserts and this had the right amount of tartness for us; delicately muted and not overbearing. The outer glaze gave it greater sturdiness, but each bite remained a tender crumble. The candied lemon slice was also delicious, as a sour complement.

Matthew C.

If you're looking for something special and unique this is the place to go. They have the most beautiful desserts that are just as yummy. The restaurant is beautiful with lots of seating. I recommend coming here and enjoying your time.

Ask the Community - Extraordinary Desserts

Do they sell buche de Noel / Yuletide log cake?

I've been there during Christmas time and I've never seen it, but that doesn't mean they don't make it, just it wasn't there when I would visit

Do you guys sell the shangri la cake by the slice or just the whole cake?

they sell both by the slice and whole cake but slices change by the week per the store.

When is peak time on the weekdays?

Usually between 11:30-13:00 then around 5:00-closing

Are there Keto options?

No there are not from what I gathered

I heard they are moving to a new location, what is the address?

Moving a block away to The Louie Lofts.

Anyone have the passionfruit ricotta cake lately? It has been my favorite in the past and I'm wondering how it stacks up lately.

That one is my fave too. Had it a couple weeks ago, and it's still as I remembered it. :)

Is it dog friendly?

They have outside seating for pets

Do they do deliveries to your home too & if they do how can I order?

You can order online but you need to pick it up. Parking can be an issue. My husband came with me just in case we couldn't find parking. Service is fast when you pick up your order.

Do you have any Vegan or eggless items?

Yes, sometimes they'll have vegan options.

This is such a cool spot…read more I love a good coffee shop, even more so when they have more than just coffee. Easy does it has simple but delicious beverage options including coffee, matcha, hojicha, pastries and open face bagels. All delicious. But in addition to that, they also sell plenty of packaged goods like a copious amount of high quality take home coffee beans from some really amazing roasters, matcha and hojicha powder, snacks (like shiso sour cream popcorn), spreads, and tin fish. The shop itself is huge with plenty of seating and tables, making this a great coffee date spot or remote work location. Their branding is really cute and unique which adds to the overall vibe. We even experienced a cool pop up on the weekend when we first went! The service is also really great. Everyone is kind and helpful and the wait it never too long.

It is a TRAVESTY... that I haven't yet written about the…read morecoffee shop I've dedicated my life to over the past year, because... well, like I said, you will always find me here! OVERVIEW Come for the equally balanced, delicious coffee AND matcha drinks; the spacious work setting; the side entertainment (like a free bookshelf + camp chairs outside), and incredible ownership. Be prepared for hard parking during peak hours (lunchtime) and possible lack of seats (especially during schooltime). DRINKS It is RARE to find a shop whose matcha is on par with its coffee; normally, one is better than the other. Easy Does It, or EDI as we affectionately call it, is pro at BOTH. With coffee served from Provecho, matcha from Nami and hojicha from Paru??? You just hit a trifecta of GOOD good. Our Typical Order: 1) Iced Earl Grey Latte - omg, I LOVE the earthiness that the earl grey syrup brings to the matcha. Matcha, to me, is either too grassy or too sweet; the earl grey syrup makes it a perfectly earthy balance. 2) Honey Cinnamon Latte - how good could a standard coffee shop latte be, you ask? They have the HCL at almost every shop, and it's not usually standout. EDI, again, blew expectations wide open. Their HCL is balanced: sweet without being saccharine; and you can actually taste the cinnamon. 3) Hojicha Latte, Hot - omg, there was a time when I ordered almost one of these A DAY. Again, another sleeper - if you like the taste of coffee but can't take the caffeine (for a late night drink, perhaps), a hojicha is a good choice. It has that grounded taste that coffee gives, and the hot version of it is like a HUG for your mouth and stomach. They also have cool inventive flavors like the Matcha Cloud, the Coconut Cream Cloud (which is a coffee cloud on top of coconut water, I hear it's refreshing), so you'll never get tired of the drinks they have here. I also want to mention that they do serve wine and beer, too... so there's something for everyone! FOOD Spend any time in a coffee shop and know... you're gonna get hungry! Thankfully, EDI has open-faced bagel sandwiches AND pastries here, all of which look mighty tasty; all of which I cannot partake in, since I am gluten free. But ohhh, gluten warriors unite! Thanks to the partnership that is Jacob of Made for Mei Mei Mochi (aka the protein mochi) and Easy Does It, you'll have your PICK of 5 different flavors of homemade, chewy, ooey, DELICIOUS MOCHI -- SANS added sugars and preservatives you normally find in the store. I'm telling you, I don't normally like mochi (it tends to be so sweet) but I love the texture. And Made for Mei Mei hits it all! Flavors include: 1) chocolate hazelnut -- which tastes like Ferrer Rocher, yum 2) ube 3) green tea / red bean 4) black sesame 5) pb&j (yes, he's stocked peanut butter & jelly, a fan-demanded flavor) My favorites are #1 and #4; sometimes I go for #2 and #5 to mix it up. Either way, I spend WAY too much on these tiny li'l treats I might as well become an early investor. AMBIENCE This place is perfect for computer work as light doesn't directly fill the whole space. I like a li'l shade when I'm staring at a bright computer screen. There are two rooms: front and back; the back is a li'l darker and more chill vibes than the front. I also appreciate that they have a free bookshelf (just replenish it with your own!), plus a few magazines scattered around (for decoration, but I still browse). I miss when coffee shops had analog media, especially for when we don't want to be glued to our screens. EXTRA CREDIT Easy Does It also offers their shop as space for community events. From mahjong with No Ambition Tile Club to wine and jazz nights IN SUM THANK YOU Easy Does It ~ Grace, Nancy, the sister I haven't met, Eugenia, and the entire team ~ for creating a lovely third space where I can work, enjoy my snacks / drinks, meet friends and co-work, and have a great conversation. You make it so easy to feel welcomed, and I'll forever be grateful for you :)

Spill the Beans has completely ruined every other coffee shop for me…read more I'm here every single morning, and there's a reason.

Parking is a bit of a pain bit of you are in waking distance or come early enough it shouldn't be an issue. Sometimes they run out of items if you come later in the day. They have a special Bagel of the month, so make sure to ask what it is. They have several bagel flavors, and different flavor cream cheese spreads. I love the habanero bagel, it's one of my favorites, but just be warned it is very hot. Definitely don't eat it without something cold to drink. They also have a breakfast sandwich called the San Diego which is a favorite of several people I know. You chose the bagel you want it with and they add fried eggs, bacon, cheese and aioli. I highly reccomend it. I've not had a lot of their deinis, but i did order the cinna-bee which has honey, cinnamon, espresso and milk. I thought it was good and would order it again. Definitely check them out and try some of their bagels, or perhaps one of their sandwiches.

The first two times I ordered at the shop and they're is usually a line with a couple people and a wait for your drink. Considering the crowd, the wait was reasonable but I wish I didn't have to wait. So the third time I ordered online and I love that I was able to walk in and pick up really quickly. The parking is OK. that little shopping center that it's located in isn't the prettiest. The inside is typical dark coffee shop with seating. Not like the newer trend of coffee shops with brighter modern decor.

When I arrived, they had a long waitlist for inside seating but we got lucky because there was a table available outside. I didn't see any heaters outside but it also wasn't cold when I went. I will say up front, that it was a bit on the pricey side. One onigiri was $8, but it was a huge onigiri. We also got the Neapolitan noodles, and wow, it was so delicious! This thing that impressed me the most was their gluten free noodle options! It did not taste or feel gluten free, I had to double check with the waiter. Plus they didn't not charge extra to substitute to the gluten free noodles and I am grateful for that. Lastly we got the hot tea pot to share and it was so much tea! It was delicious. They served it with a tea candle so the tea stayed warm the whole meal. I really enjoyed this place, definitely check them out.

We got the karage chicken, it was very flavorful and the breading was light which I liked and it didn't taste too oily. The curry was super good, the meat was tender and the curry sauce itself had a little spicy kick in it but still super flavorful. Also we got that huge tuna mayo onigiri which was like super sized but it was $8 so yea. It had a lot of tuna and it was packed really well. I was so full but the dessert looked amazing.

Also the place isn't that big so it's not great for big parties, maybe for a family of 6 is the most you can accommodate. There is bar seating and limited outdoor seating. The service was great tho, and it's such a cute spot.

The bagels TOP NOTCH…read more The location cute and quaint, but I do like the Mission Valley location more. This location seems to have a limited menu whereas their other location has more options. It was a busy morning, so they doing their best to keep up with orders while people were asking if their bagels were ready. The workers were being so patient and communicating with customers that they were on it. The coffee TASTES like coffee! Silly to say, but it's soooo delicious and I love when coffee doesn't taste like a complete sugary drink. We had two iced coffees (basic sitch and blondie mocha) and their drip coffee. Would definitely order again. They were out of some ingredients, but they advertised it, so customers were not lead astray. Easily, their bagels make this the place to go!

Hot Blondie Latte and Sugar-free Vanilla decaf latte were great! More people need to talk about their quality roast!
