    4 layers (!) with generous filling!
    Melissa O.

    For my husband's Birthday ~ Esmeralda (owner) was making cakes for the community; she would accept whatever you could afford as payment, sometimes even for supplies like flour and butter. I decided to give her a try because I admired her generosity. Glad I did, too! She went above and beyond my expectations! Not only was this a beautiful creation but it tasted fantastic! It was fresh, moist and delicious. I had a hard time putting my fork down and I wasn't the only one! Very pleasant doing business with her - had it ready when I needed it and she even gave me a free little bottle of hand sanitizer! Give Esmeralda a try. You won't be disappointed.

    The cupcake tower!

    Essie's cupcakes are fabulous! I recently ordered 12 dozen for a party and got nine cake flavors - each one paired with a tasty filling. Everyone loved them and I heard that many had more than one. Essie was so great to work with. Highly recommend!

    Essie DID NOT DISAPPOINT!! So glad she was able to take my last minute cake order in such a busy season! Thank you so much!

    A very happy birthday girl!

    You never know what day it is anymore with COVID and next thing I know I need a Simba cake, faster than I need my roots dyed! Essie was lightning fast in her response time and whipped out this cake in record time. Simba brought huge smiles to everyone at work especially the birthday girl. I am finally able to write this after waking up from my sugar induced food coma. The cake has been devoured! Thanks Essie, you are amazing!

    Gender reveal cupcakes

    I cannot thank Essie enough for everything. I was able to order a dozen gender reveal cupcakes all the way from europ on a very short notice and the result was amazing!! The communication was so easy and we were able to make this gender reveal happen from another continent and my family in San Diego loved it!! And they told me that on top of being so cute they were yummy :) All the way from Switzerland : Merci beaucoup!!

    German chocolate cake

    Esme's cinnamon rolls are delicious. This was her first time making them. She made them and delivered them on the same day. Will order them again. Esme made an amazing delicious German Chocolate cake this past weekend for my husband for Father's Day. I highly recommend it.

    A variety of delicious vanilla cupcakes with whipped cream topping.

    Thank you Essie! This was the first time I ordered from her and it will definitely not be the last. A great experience from start to finish. Essie was very patient with me and helped me decide what I wanted. I ordered this dozen of vanilla cupcakes. They consisted of four different types of vanilla cupcakes. Yes... a variety of four absolutely delicious types of vanilla cupcakes. They were French, Mexican, vanilla bean and custard. The cupcakes were super moist with the best vanilla flavor I have ever eaten. The whipped cream topping was delightful. It was a pleasure dealing with Essie. She is a kind caring pleasant communicative artisan. They were delivered by Essie, she was pleasant and punctual. Do not waste your time looking anywhere else... Essie is the one you want to make your next cake/cupcakes. And the next! And the next!!!

    Having a birthday during the stay@home order couldn't have been better and especially with sincere and kind gestures. Esmerelda made me a fantastic chocolate and fresh strawberry cake for my birthday today. The cake was just absolutely adorable and perfect. Thank you Esmerelda!

    Essie is so good in what she does. I'm so grateful to have found her. She made a delicious chocolate cake for my son's 3rd birthday. Yum!

    I ordered a chocolate and peanut butter Minecraft cake and it was delicious!! The cake was moist and a lot bigger than I thought it was going to be. Essie the owner was very kind and an easy person to talk to. I will be ordering from here again. I can't wait to try the macaroons.

    Rochelle C.

    Ese definitely met my expectations when she customized my gender reveal cupcake & put my vision come to life! It was awesome! She was easy to talk to, kind and professional. I definitely would order again in the future! Thank you!!!

    Chocolate SpiderMan Cake. Buttercream and fondant. We added the candles.
    Jennifer Z.

    Wow. Such an amazing cake. The decorations were just like the photo chosen and the cake was so moist and delicious. I will definitely be ordering again and for future parties.

Before the…read moredessert, the gentleman that rang me up, and the lady packing the desserts (apologies for not getting names) provided exceptional service. My name was spelled properly, a short conversation reassured my dessert choice, and as I walked up to retrieve my dessert, the lady met me halfway with a smile (thank you for wrapping so it didn't fall over). The smallest of gestures and niceties are what make leaving the house worth it. GIANDUIA. This cake is nothing you can be prepared for, yet everything you need without setting expectations. The boysenberry was the perfect separation for the waves of chocolate and the subtle crunch of the hazelnut toffee type of layer on the very top. The chocolate mousse was the exact mouth feel needed to separate the rich layers of chocolate cake. I saw, I conquered, and I was yet again impressed by what Extraordinary Desserts so purposefully and gracefully offered. Thank you for healing a bit of my soul I didn't realize was waiting to be healed.

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!

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 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.

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.

Great spot to try while visiting San Diego.
