This charming little local family bakery is a must visit when on Point Loma. We went for an early breakfast treat. The incredible selection of pastries was the pure definition of "eye candy". We were told by the clerk that the selection is best early in the morning. The clerk was super friendly and threw in a couple donut holes with our order. She also made me a cup of water. It's the kind of place that they know the regulars by name. A counter is devoted to gifts that customers have brought in for the owners. I thought prices were reasonable for hand made pastries. My Spinach and Cheese Croissant was flakey, buttery with a fabulous creamy spinach filling. The pastry was huge, I took half home for later. The Jalapeño Ham and Cheese Croissant was huge with lots of ham. The pastry was delicious. We sat inside at the little counter in the back. Most people pick up their pastries and coffee to go. read more

What a great little business. The owner was so welcoming and even added some donuts holes to our breakfast sandwich orders when we told her it was our first time. The store was spotless, the vibes were great, and everything was delicious. Definitely a small business worth supporting! Will come back when we visit San Diego again. read more

Love their muffins and a favorite spot in the area! The muffins taste so nostalgic! I highly recommend this place!

The muffins here are indeed marvelous. They are airy, moist, and large. I've tried many flavors and all have been delicious. My favorite ones are blueberry, triple berry, and banana walnut. The service here is great. I've received a handful of donut holes when I grab half a dozen muffins. The donut holes are also fantastic. read more

We stopped at this little shop before going to shelter island and the woman working was so friendly. We got an egg/cheese/bacon bagel, egg/cheese bagel, a vanilla latte, and a cinnamon roll pastry. She also threw in some donut holes which was so nice of her. Everything was yummy but the cinnamon roll pastry was one of the best cinnamon rolls iv ever had so i definitely recommend that! read more

I would say that the muffins aren't actually marvelous, but everything else was! The friendly service, conveniently open early in the morning, plenty of parking, and the cinnamon roll was top-notch. The muffins could definitely use a crumble on top. Will definitely stop back in next boating day! read more

Ehh not seeing why people like this place. I'll try a breakfast sandwhich next time but the muffin I got was very thick and didn't taste like pumpkin at all.. I was going to get a donut until I saw the price of 5$ for ONE donut that's crazy prices. read more

Amazing service and wonderful staff! Very helpful even when the whole place is busy.

I am a croissant fiend and I gave a 4 star review to this place when it was still owed by the aunt of the young lady who now works there. I'm happy to upgrade my rating to 5 stars - the croissants are humongous, fluffy and tasty. And, aways freshly made, on site! read more

We found this bakery on yelp and the muffins are delicious. We ordered the Lemon poppy seed, the cinnamon roll and hot chocolates. Everything was marvelous ! My only disappointment was I didn't order more to go. We're headed back this morning to try more and will definitely buy extra to go. Thank you for the great service ! read more

Came here for a quick breakfast prior to a trip to Cabrillo National Monument. What a cute neighborhood joint for breakfast pastries! I had the sprinkles donut which was delicious and so fluffy. My friend ordered the spinach and cheese croissant which the server heated up for us quickly on the spot, as well as the lemon poppy seed muffin. The muffins here are a great combination of crispy on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside, and very flavorful! Prices were very reasonable and service was friendly. Big bonus is easy parking as there is a small parking lot with a handful of dedicated spots for Marvelous Muffins customers. Come here if you're looking for a quick and delicious stop for breakfast! read more

SPOILER ALERT: ONE OF THE BEST APPLE FRITTERS IN THE U.S. We stopped by on Saturday, just before closing (12:30ish). There's ample street and lot parking with handicap accessible spaces. They took cash and cards. The eating area was clean and felt like a nice place for a drop in breakfast on a weekend. The server/cashier was very pleasant and there were several options still available, to pair with hot or cold beverages (See photos). I'm not a muffin guy, so I went for the donuts (It's my cheat day). THE APPLE FRITTER IS A TEN! This apple fritter was a cut above: - Perfect portion size for an adult - Drizzled with the traditional powdered sugar glaze, but not overly sweet - Cooked to perfection and lightly crisp along the exterior - Moist inside without being doughy - Cinnamon spread evenly throughout the dough without overpowering it - YOU CAN TASTE APPLES IN EVERY BITE The fritter outperforms the 50 - 100 I've eaten over many years. Most fritters are partially burnt, doughy inside, kissed by an apple, and so hard outside they hurt your mouth. DONUT HOLES - HOLE IN ONE - Pillow soft - Melts in your mouth - Not too sweet - Very pop able! When I'm in San Diego and near this place, it's all about the Apple Fritter (Cheat Day or Not)! Enjoy! read more

Cool little place. I ended up getting a blueberry muffin. Tasted fantastic. My only knock was that all the blueberries were towards the top of the muffin. As you chow down towards the bottom, there were no more blueberries. Good area and easily accessible with parking also. read more

Oh so tasty! Friendly, kind and clean! Thank you for the tasty croissant breakfast sandwiches and an apple fritter!!! Lattes were hot and perfect! Go give them a try. We sat at the bar and it was quite pleasant as we people watched. read more

We visited San Diego for a tennis tournament during November and tried Marvellous Muffins on our first day. The food and coffee were exceptional. So great in fact, we returned every morning of our trip and ate there every day. Both staff were so warm and welcoming which matched the homely feel of the place. Could not recommend enough! Fabulous spot. read more

Open early with delicious baked goodies and drinks. Customer service is great even at 6:00 a.m. Pricing is decent for fresh pastries. My favorite muffin is the mixed berry and go-to breakfast sandwiches with coffee. read more

We got in here very late morning around 11:15am before heading out of town and driving back up to LA. The selection of what was left wasn't a whole lot but no big deal. What bothered me more than anything was that the muffins didn't look like anything to write home about. I ended up getting pink sprinkles doughnut and a croissant. The doughnut looked a little dry but my son really wanted it and I didn't have time to stop elsewhere. The croissant was really good and they warmed it up for me. They also gave me a small cup when I asked and didn't charge me extra, which was nice. If I end up in that area again, I'd get another croissant but that's about it. read more

Service was good and friendly. The croissant breakfast sandwich was awful. It was a precooked frozen egg patty and frozen sausage patty. They were both luke warm. The cheese was not melted in the slightest. Ended up throwing half of it out. read more

Staff was incredible and very sweet. Had great food and very cheap prices would love to eat there again.

Great service and food tasted amazing! Got the egg, cheese, bacon bagel with a triple berry muffin and they all exceeded my expectations!

Amazing coffee, amazing bagel sandwiches, customer service is top tier despite the language barrier! Would recommend to anyone.

This place is great family owns spectacular great muffins great service friendly people. I really enjoyed it. Great pricing amazing everything is just perfect. Please support local business. read more

Marvelous, yes, they are! The muffins are delectably delicious. We stopped in just after opening and there were only 4 varieties available that early. Not to worry - the pumpkin and the blueberry were both warm from the oven, perfectly spiced, and unforgettably tasty. I'd stop back by here anytime for a nice morning bit of YUM. read more

Happy to see this place still exists, after a decade or more when my husband was station near by. Came here before I started yelping and now wish I had a yelp review or picture to remind me of the deliciousness. Back then I would ordered a lemon or orange muffin with a pat of butter with a coffee and call it breakfast. This time I needed something more hardy, so we ordered a bagel with egg, cheese and sausage. Just as good as my muffin. I ordered what I saw in the case: chocolate and berry muffin, but didn't realize there were more selections on the rack. My muffin just came out of the oven, warm gooey, and melted away in my mouth. For those of you who don't care for a cupcake disguised as a muffin, there's doughnuts too. Enjoy! read more

Not sure if I'd call this place marvelous, but it is good, and close to shelter island if you want to grab a bite and walk around. First off, it is kind of expensive for a hole in the wall shop, a croissant sandwich was just shy of $7 and a chocolate bear claw was around $3. The croissant sandwich was good, and the eggs on the sandwich were made to order. The bear claw was tasty but nothing to brag about. They threw in a couple complimentary donut holes which is awesome. But I walked out with 2 items and 10$ later.. Nice service. I'll come back if I'm in the area, next time I'll get a muffin! read more

Bought the chocolate chip and the lemon cream cheese. They are moist and so good. It was absolutely delicious. If your purchase is less than $10, you'll be charged 0.50¢ for using a credit card/debit card. There's free parking! read more

We visited this Marvelous Muffins during the pandemic and was glad to see that they were still open and conducting business as usual. Unfortunately, we weren't able to sit in and enjoy our breakfast inside but they made sure to keep everyone safe by marking spots on the floor to ensure social distancing can still be practiced. As with all other stores, masks are required by both the patrons and employees. We absolutely love this place! The lady is super sweet and makes sure she has our order down correctly. If there are other orders in front of yours, she'll let you know so you can have an idea of long you may be waiting. Don't worry, those folks are pretty quick so you won't be waiting long either way. We ended up getting two breakfast items- a croissant and an everything bagel both with bacon egg and cheese. The croissant was soft and flaky as you would expect a croissant to be. The bagel was perfect as well and the bacon, egg and cheese was on point! Super delicious. The size of both items were large enough to share- we would have been satisfied sharing either one but since we got our own, we were pretty full! We usually share breakfast items but decided to get our own- I guess our eyes was hungrier than our stomach were since we probably should have shared. Aside from breakfast sandwiches, they have donuts, muffins, coffee as well as some bottled drinks such as orange juice, milk, etc. We got here pretty early so parking wasn't an issue. Once businesses open up, parking could be somewhat of an issue. There are some reserved parking spots in the complex and parking along the street but we could see them filling up. We don't think that should deter you as the worst case scenario, you're gonna park around the corner and have to walk a short distance to front door. read more

Stopped at this cute store in our way to pick up food elsewhere. We got a box of assorted pastries. The lady serving us was very helpful and attentive. The customer service was great.The donut holes were fresh and fluffy. It was very difficult to stop eating them. My husband had the apple fritter. Just so you know, we call him the snack and dessert king. He said this was the best apple fritter he ever had. I had the lemon cheesecake muffin ...incredible. It was just the right amount of sweet and tangy. Let's just say, everything was a hit. My husband and I plan to add this place to our rotation. Highly recommend! read more

Delicious morning pastries, muffins, breakfast sandwiches etc. Drinks too. Plenty of parking in the little shopping center that it's situated in as well as street parking. Get there early if you want your choice of muffins. They were out of blueberry at 930am but the mixed berry was probably even better! They still had plenty of other flavors at 930 as well as other pastries. read more
