I visited the Escondido Matcha Cafe Maiko for the first time last week! I can officially say I've…read morevisited all three locations in San Diego! There was plenty of parking in the plaza. There were a few tables, and high top bar seating inside the location. I enjoyed a matcha latte with less sweetness, less ice, and with boba. The boba quality was great! I feel like the boba could be hit or miss at the Mira Mesa branch.

I was visiting San Diego and came across Matcha Maiko, so l decided to stop by because I'd been…read morewanting to try their matcha. When I walked in, the kiosks weren't working, so ! waited at the front for someone to take my order. Instead, all I could hear was an older lady loudly screaming at one of the employees. It was loud enough that I could hear everything from the front counter, and it honestly gave me secondhand embarrassment. The employee was being embarrassed in front of everyone in the store, which made for a really uncomfortable atmosphere. Because of the confusion, I ended up ordering through their website instead. Unfortunately, the drink was disappointing. They added a huge scoop of strawberry syrup that completely overpowered the drink. I went there to try Matcha Maiko's matcha, not a cup full of strawberry syrup. On top of that, the syrup wasn't even mixed in properly, so l kept getting mouthfuls of syrup at the bottom I was really looking forward to trying this place, but between the uncomfortable experience in the store and the poorly made drink, it wasn't the experience I had hoped for.

Esco Gelato has some kind of pixie dust they use because the textures and flavors here are amazing, year after year. great selection of teas. very friendly staff. free parking around the storefront is usually easy peasy. great business. been coming here since the early 2000s.

They give you a decent amount for the size you ask for, so make Aira you know how much you're getting!! Not sure if it was the cravings of the day/heat but with it being a little shop and there only being a few seats it was hard to fully enjoy the experience in the corner. With so many people visiting (the pictures were taken right before the crowd) I'm sure that's an indicator of how good it is! I will definitely be back to try other flavors or other items on the menu. Hopefully soon!

They are also pricey, but that is no doubt because of their size and how popular this place is. My in laws absolutely loved these donuts which confirms my suspicions that these donuts remind me more of a Midwest style donut. I was here on a week day later in the morning and the line was short and I was on my way in under 10 minutes. They weren't selling any cake donuts when I was there which is a bummer because perhaps I would've enjoyed that more than their yeast raised donuts. It seems they have a large variety of styles and flavors, but they don't offer them all at the same time. It's a cute spot with lots of parking. I very rarely am in this area, so I'm glad I was able to finally to give it a try.

Because when I want the really good stuff, I make it myself in my Lello 4080 Musso Lussino Ice Cream Maker. Yeah, the ice cream that maxhine produces is positively divine. But when I want the good stuff without all the prep & cleanup, Wynston's is where I'm going. The quality is top notch & the creatve flavors they come up with are amazing. Service is always friendly. My favorite way to enjoy Wynston's is the ice cream flight with 4 small scoops of different flavors. While parking right in front of the place is often taken, there's a free garage nearby they validate for. So, if you love you some ice cream, head on over to Wynston's. You can take it from someone who makes their own frozen sweet creamy confections, Wynston's is the really good stuff.

Another 5 star review for Wynston's!…read more If you're not on their email list, get on it RIGHT NOW! They won't bombard you with useless emails. They really only send out important emails...so, for that...KUDOS! They have their email marketing dialed in... My fiancé and I shared a flight, as we usually do. It's really the best way to sample all their delicious flavors. I had to try their monthly flavor, 'What's Up, Doc?'. Carrot Cake Ice Cream? How?! Well, it's true. They turned a classic cake into delicious ice cream. The other 3 flavors... Obrigaderia Brazilian Truffle Lemon & the Blueberry Swirls Parmesan Apricot We couldn't pick a favorite flavor this time. All of them stood out in their own way. Such a cute little storefront...two tables inside, but plenty of seating outside. I remember when they were across the street, even smaller storefront....and now they have TWO locations in San Diego county. Team members are always smiling. You can tell the owners care about their employees...there's a sign up....this is a no-tip business. They pay their employees a livable wage. That, in itself, speaks volumes! Oh, and don't forget to ask for a pup cup if you have your pooch with you. #longlivewynstons

Alanatural Neveria La Michacana is relatively new to Escondido…read more The Ice cream here is great, in fact you wont find any better when it comes to creamy flavors. From a value standpoint it's also pretty good. A small is more than enough for one person. It's a heaping scoop. Favorite flavors include: - Cotton Candy ( with real cotton candy pieces) - Lime The problem here is that the shop setup isn't as good as other La Michoacana stores in north county. Most of the flavors here are not identified, and several flavors were on their last legs. Tip - Alanatural is located in one of Escondido's shady strip malls. You know the drill here, no valuables in car, make sure your insurance is up to date, and put that 1990's "club" on your steering wheel.
