She asked what I needed, so I explained and she met my needs by the due date. I picked up the the cake to the agreed date and time. The transportation of the cake wasn't a problem at all. I gotta give her all five stars because she surpassed my expectations. She's my new favorite baker in town. I recommend her so don't hesitate to giver her a try. Reyna if you are reading this, thank you so much, I loved the cake.

I'm catching up on my yelp reviews and realized that I had visited Patisserie Melanie on the second…read moreto last day before the store closed for good. No wonder why the ladies that ordered before me cleared almost the entire selection. Luckily, an older gentlemen working in the bakery told us that if we waited an extra 10-15 minutes, they would have additional financiers ready for purchase. I was able to snag a pumpkin bread so I didn't mind waiting. We tried the lemon financier and the almond financier, and the almond was my absolute favorite! I was a little bummed that we came too late to try their pastries, but we ended up getting to try some at Lovesong Coffee, just a couple steps away. I loved the aesthetic of the spot and how pink it was! Although it's no longer in business, I hope we'll get to try their pastries again one day!

I remember the first time I met Melanie when she had a tiny shop on Park Blvd. Her French pastries…read morewere amazing. I was happy she moved to her current location on 30th ST. There is better parking and a larger selection. I was sad to hear Patisserie Melanie is closing Sunday, February 8. I stopped by for a last visit. Butter croissant had a thin crunchy exterior and soft, buttery insides. I loved the buttery flavor. Kouignette had a crunchy exterior and was denser than the croissant. Loved the mix of sweet and buttery flavors. Blueberry muffin had a thin crispy outer layer and the inside was soft and moist. Delicious blueberry flavor. I will miss Melanie and her delicious French treats. "I believe that when we leave a place, part of it goes with us and part of us remains...

Rarely does anyone go above and beyond like Babycakes. I recently had a milestone birthday party…read moreand ordered a large red velvet and brownie cake after tasting samples from several other local bakeries. None of them even remotely came close to the flavor and visual appeal of Babycakes. The cake is the main dish of any birthday party and boy did they knock it out of the park, exceeding my expectations - especially at such an affordable price. Lots of ooohs and ahhhs were heard when we brought out this delicious showstopper. People are still talking about it weeks later!!!

The service here was great. Friendly staff and had good comments about flavors which I appreciated…read more We ordered some cupcakes (dulce de leche and chocolate raspberry) and a peanut butter bar. They were all great. The center of the cupcakes were creamy and delicious! My friend ordered the sampler to see which flavor she wants to order for her wedding cake and I was lucky enough to join the tasting! The blood orange, lemon Bavarian, and marble bianca were the top 3. All were yummy in their own way. Least favorite was the classic wedding cake because the others were all so unique and flavorful. Can't wait to try the wedding cake in a couple months!

I really want to give this place another try but for now, my review is for their boba drink. I had…read morea huuuuuge boba craving (as usual) while we were down here and I saw a kid walking around with one! We hunted for it and came across this little kiosk. No line at all, pretty early in the afternoon on a warm, and nice day overall. Surprising to see that it wasn't busier. I went for my usual, Thai tea with boba, just a small size since I was a bit hesitant on it. I should've honestly trusted my gut and went for an iced latte boba instead. The only reason I didn't was because I already had my cold brew coffee in the morning/for the day and didn't want to overdo it. I also should've asked if they brew it fresh.... I should know better by now and here I was, extremely disappointed. My poor drink was not good. I wish I could've finished it but I was struggling. They had reeeeally good chewy boba but the drink itself was nasty. They use powdered Thai tea which is not the way to go, ever. It's missing that strong, Thai tea flavor and honestly just tastes like a weird birthday cake flavor. I was extremely bummed but we plan on visiting again in the near future and will definitely update my review then. I'm sure their coffee drinks are better and I hear they're known for their egg tarts. IG: @ammysalamii

My only regret...not buying more! It's 2 for $6, 5 for $12 or 12 for $22. We got 5…read more I've had the original Portuguese egg tart in Lisbon and in Macau. This is my first in San Diego and it tastes just as good. Portuguese egg tart crusts are made out of puff pastries while Chinese egg tarts are made out of shortcrust casing like a cheesecake crust. The puff pastries makes it flaky and less doughy. The custard is also less eggy and more creamy in the Portuguese version. I also got the Macau Dolgona coffee no boba with half and half. So good! Must try. You have to really stir to mix it all. This kiosk stand is literally between Gap and Banana Republic, more so towards Gap. Make sure to eat it when it's warm and it takes like 3 bites.

They have a big variety of cakes all ready to go in their cake display. I chose the chocobombon since they didn't have any all vanilla cakes and this one had some vanilla in it and my husbands favorite is vanilla. I really liked that they had candles and cake decorations as well in the store and I bought a few Birthday embellishments which were all $1 each, great price! The staff was nice but not too friendly when I was trying to find out more about the cakes and flavors, I had to read the labels since she didn't provide me any details. The cake was just okay, it was very dense and a bit dry. The marshmallow frosting was a little thick and the overall flavors were definitely different but not sure I would get this flavor again. I would like to try a few more flavors and maybe a tres leches cake to see how those are. It is located in Chula Vista in a small shopping center, limited parking available.

The cafe is very cute with big open windows making it feel like a nice indoor outdoor space with the beautiful San Diego weather. There was no one there really on a weekday afternoon.

Feel free to bring the beret, but leave the ménage a trios and cigarettes at home! I've never been to France, but I believe this place is like going to France just without going through customs and people speaking English, BUT other than that it's exactly like France! My friend and I wanted to come here for breakfast since it was both on our Yelp bookmarks list, we decided why not?! It was a quiet Sunday and the crowd hasn't rolled in yet. We ordered an almond croissant, Benedict, and macarons. We ordered them to go because we wanted an ocean view with our meal, however it would be better at the restaurant as the Benedict didn't transport too well. All in all, the food and ambience is great. Highly recommend getting there early so there isn't a long wait because it gets crowded on the weekends.
