They have baked goods as well as sandwiches u can order. Someone will ask u if u want baked goods first then u go down the counter to order drinks and sandos. Got the everything mochi bagel with cream cheese and the egg & chicken katsu sando. Everything mochi bagel 5/5: so fluffy and light yet still tastes like a bagel. Can be a lil salty on the top where the salt is but contrast with parts that dont have it. Egg sando 5/5: yummy and filling, has cucumber and the milk bread is thick and so fluffy! Chicken katsu sando 5/5: my favorite. I love the spicy mustardy sauce not sure if it's in the actual brown katsu sauce or separate mustard. My bf didnt like it but i loved it! Chicken also juicy and soft. The milk bread is so fluffy and lil sweet and perfect pairing. Interior has lots of tables and seating and they they also have an outdoor patio and they clean the tables frequently which is nice. Recommend!

If you're in the La Jolla area, you must come visit!…read more Their black forest pastry is one of the best pastries I have ever had. The outside was buttery and flaky, and as soon as I bit into it, dark, rich chocolate oozed out with a nice cherry finish. This bakery seems more designed for to-go orders. There are benches for customers to sit at, but no tables.

To start off: - Salted Chocolate Chip Cookie: the only thing I would come back for. Proportionately large, delicious, and only $4. Best bang for your buck! - Kouign Amann: incredibly flakey and just sweet enough. A must order if you're here. - Tomato & White Cheddar Tile: my second favorite, it was quite savory and flavorful! - Cinnamon Bun: my least favorite, which is surprising. It was as advertised, a cinnamon bun, but it just didn't blow me away.

Desserts: 5/5 We got a blood orange scone and a strawberry danish. The scone was warm and delicious. The orange essence was well infused. The danish was crispy and creamy. Everything was so picturesque. Food: 3/5 Unfortunately, the food was not the best. We got the smoked salmon sandwich which was not very flavorful. The salmon was also slimy. The pesto spread was good though. It was creamy and the artisan bread it was served had great variety. Ambiance: 5/5 This place is such super cute. When you walk in, the desserts all look super appetizing. The seating areas are super cute and the floral decor are stunning. Service: 5/5 It is an order then sit down establishment. There is great attention to their dessert. I saw them heat up a knife just to cleanly cut the cake. The food service however did take some time to come out.

Unfortunately the cake didn't hold well in my commute to Temecula (esp during the heat wave). The dairy ended up hurting our stomachs.

Yiko Yiko has some of the best desserts in SD, especially when it comes to their mochi!…read more We've tried quite a few of their mochi snowball options, and they're always so chewy, soft, and flavorful. The fruit flavors are also made with fresh fruit, which is a plus. We stop by sometimes to pick up a box of 4-6 as gifts for our friends, and it's always a hit. Their crepe cakes are also really tasty and not too sweet. We really like the basque, vanilla, and strawberry flavors. The desserts here are a bit on the pricier side, but the quality and presentation are worth the splurge.

After eating way too much savory food in San Diego, we needed something sweet to balance things…read moreout, so we stopped by Yiko Yiko for dessert. The shop is super cute and offers individual cakes that are the perfect size to share... or keep all to yourself--I won't judge! My sister and I shared the mango cake, and it was delicious. The cake was light and fluffy with fresh mangoes layered between whipped cream. I also loved that it wasn't overly sweet. The crunchy waffle cone crumbles on top added a nice texture and made each bite even better. We also wanted to try the mango mochi balls, but we got there later in the evening and someone bought the last order right before we checked out. Talk about bad timing! We ended up trying the matcha mochi balls instead. I'm personally not a matcha fan, so they weren't for me, but if you enjoy matcha, you'll probably like them. My sister was more than happy to finish them for me. Next time I'll definitely come earlier so I can snag the mango mochi before someone else beats me to it! Overall, Yuki Yuki is a cute dessert spot with light, delicious cakes that are the perfect ending to a great meal. I'll definitely be back.

Love what this bakery stands for with representing different chefs, cultures and pastry styles via…read morea rotating pastry chef every few months. Located a couple blocks off of Balboa park which is nice if you want to get a pastry/coffee and walk over. Items are pricier but the flavors are worth it. I came on a weekday right before open and there was already a line so you want to make sure you get there early if you want all of the selection. Right now they have a chef from Hawaii! The whole menu looked amazing but I only got a couple so I'll definitely have to be back. I got the hojicha oatmeal whoopie pie and the apricot ricotta cheesecake croissant. The whoopie pie was hefty! Two big oatmeal cookies filled with marshmallow meringue. The hojicha flavor was a little light for me but the actual cookie was delicious and I liked the oatmeal texture. The apricot croissant was amazing! I've never had a ricotta cheesecake and I loved how much lighter it was than the traditional. The plum marmalade was a nice sweet/tart contrast too. Service was fast and friendly. Definitely worth checking out.

Came on a Sunday afternoon and the line was out the door! Tends to move quickly though and they…read morehave a menu outside for you to look at which is super helpful. Some highlights: -Cinnamon roll with cream cheese: this isn't on their menu but I saw they had two kinds of cinnamon rolls- one with cream cheese frosting and the other with buttermilk frosting. I ended up going with cream cheese and I'm so glad I did! It looks a little intense, but the frosting was actually really light, creamy, and not too sweet. The cinnamon roll itself was also really soft and pillowy. It's decently sized too, definitely share with your group! -Whoopie pie: forgot what the full name of this pastry was but it was essentially two green tea cookies that sandwiched a marshmallow filling. So good! -Black Sesame croissant: the black sesame filling was so good! Not grainy and spread evenly throughout the pastry. I would skip the drinks and cookies. Drinks were very standard and not worth the price (each pastry is $7-$10 already) and there's better matcha at other places. Cookies were a little underwhelming- too crunchy for my taste.

I was craving a buttery and flaky croissant and coffee, so I decided to check out Bonjour Bakery &…read morePatisserie in Little Italy. It was very conveniently located to the Inn we were staying in, so it was a great way for us to start the day after checking out the Sunday farmers market nearby. The place itself is small and intimate. They have a few tables inside but they were all full. They had a couple of tables outside as well, so we ended up sitting there. I got the almond croissant and their vanilla cold foam latte. It was the last one they could make that day, so I was very lucky! The croissant was buttery and delicious, as I expected and the almond filling was not overwhelming or too sweet. It paired beautifully with my vanilla cold foam latte. They had a nice variety of both sweet and savory pastries, but I didn't have enough time to go back and try them. Next time for sure!

Matcha does come unflavored which I love and bave had before but this matcha was bland... not the way matcha should traditionally taste like. Really though, I came for the foam, and was disappointed with that too. It just tasted like mashed up banana frothed in milk... nothing crazy. Croissant cookie was good! Just a bit crunch and I prefer mine to be soft. But again, that's preference. Chocolate chips did taste burnt however. Service was very friendly and quick nonetheless and it was very aesthetic inside and out. Overall, rave for this spot is a bit un honest in my opinion if you want a good matcha.

This is an amazing bakery, the desserts were out of this world, and the savory tarts were even better. I am not going to even tell you which ones we bought, because honestly you need to just walk in here, look at which one fills your eyes with joy and buy that one. They are all delicious. Beautiful to for all your senses. Now I will have to find the quickest route of Ramona to La Jolla, just to enjoy these delicacies more often.

The was a table with quiche, bagels, lox, cream cheese, and two types of salads. Another space had multiple tarts and large fresh fruit platters. And finally one last spot had fresh cooked salmon covered in pistachios. The chef and staff were amazing. They took time to explain to guests what each item was if they had questions. Last but not least they are a kosher kitchen. If you need kosher fare this is the place! The store itself is tucked away and has amazing pastries as well.
