I'm not sure what has happened recently, but the quality of the donuts seems to have declined over…read morethe past few months. I also feel as if they are putting out day olds for the glazed, old-fashioned and the buttermilk bars. I normally buy a couple of donuts to eat over the next couple of days, so I am well aware of what a day old donut tastes like. The past couple of times I've gone in, the donuts that I bought early in the morning already tasting like day old donuts. Hard and slightly gummy. I will probably give them one more shot, but after that, it's off my list

While the street parking is limited, I do appreciate that there is indoor and outdoor seating. So those of you with pups could enjoy a charming meal. I can imagine it gets quite busy during the weekend. We ordered a mocha, eggs benedict, and a slice of brioche French toast. I enjoyed the hollandaise sauce for the eggs benedict but could have been spruced up to have something beyond ham and brioche toast. Perhaps adding spinach or smoked salmon? The true star was the slice of brioche toast. Deliciously sweet and made with fresh ingredients. Savored that and the mocha as we sat outside, enjoying a beautiful day. Will definitely be returning to this spot when I visit SD.

The glazed pillow at Peterson's was one of the donuts I have ever had. This hybrid croissant donut…read moreis crunchy and flaky on the outside with a doughy soft center. The glaze is absolutely perfect. We also tried the chocolate and all agreed the glaze is the best. The set up of the place is simple and easy. They display the day's donuts in the window, you walk up and order, and get your donuts right away. You can sit and eat them there at some tables they have or just grab them to go like we did! I think about this donut a lot. It is huge and definitely can be split. However, if you are looking to indulge, I say it is completely worth it to eat it all yourself.

You can look at the menu on the wall but they also have their menu at the counter where you order too. There was no line midday so it was a quick in and out. They have a few tables outside if you can't wait to dive into your goodies. There were SOOOOO many options my head was spinning :p they have a ton of donut options, muffins, croissants, pillows (fried croissants), fritters, turnovers, and more. We enjoyed our goodies. They were fresh and perfectly sweet. The portions are bigger than standard donut shops so I understand the prices are higher but it does add up! I like how they are open from 4am to midnight and weekends until 2am so you can satisfy your breakfast, daytime, or late night cravings. I gave 4 stars because even at 11am they didn't have several of the options I wanted to try.

A quick search on yelp led me to Aurora's Bakery, all the reviews raved about their tres leches cake specifically! I was met with a welcoming attitude, in addition to the amazing smell of freshly baked bread! I asked if they had any tres leches cakes on hand or if it was reservation only? Luckily they had a variety to choose from and at a better price than Vallarta or north gate! I highly recommend coming here if you need a cake for any special occasions, they also take custom orders! Apart from cakes, they also sell gelatinas (jello), flan, choco flan, plus a great selection of classic Mexican bread. I will definitely be coming back! Sadly I did not get a picture of the cake. If I can find someone from the party who took a photo of it, then I will update this review! .... Or I will just go back to get another one ... for research purposes

To get up to the store there is a ramp and the front door is a pull door but was left propped open today (Saturday). There is no bathroom here because it is a small bakery. They speak Spanish and English. Experience: I love this place! A new favorite bakery. This place is very clean and they have a great cleaning system set up for COVID (not sure if they had this pre-COVID also). They have a sign on the door that says masks required and only four people in the store at a time. When you come in, you put on hand sanitizer or gloves they provide, grab a clean tray and clean tongs to pick up the food you want. You can open the glass doors to the food you want then use the tongs to pick it up and put it on your tray, then close the glass again. When you are ready to pay you can go to the counter and they will bag things up for you. They do not take Discover cards or American Express, but everything else works. With your used tongs you put them in a box on the counter labeled used, and they take the used tray from you also at the counter. Overall: very accessible, clean, organized, awesome bakery!

And picked up an almost croissant. They do not shelve non fat milk, but have oat and almond. So I went with oat. Two customers that came after me go thier drinks first. And when mine came up, it was lovely but not right. It was a cold mocha. They remade it. It was just a wee annoying, especially since I was coming here with the hopes of a mind blowing experience. The coffee was fine. The staff seem to know the local regulars and chat them up appropriately. The seating it still hard and uncomfortable. I'll try again one more time to see if hey flip my bippy. So far two stars for they way they interacted with other. One star for the pastry and the coffee mis up and late service was a - of stars. And my picky pastry folks (she knows who she is) would say it's not a true croissant, as there are cuts across the pastry... but it's buttery and flaky..
