    ordered this cake specifically because I was told multiple times that it was a "Pistachino" cake and that it contained pistachios. I made it very clear that having pistachios inside was important to me. However, when we cut the cake, there were absolutely no pistachios inside. The taste was also very disappointing. It did not have any special flavor. Honestly, it tasted like a very basic cocoa cake or plain cake -- but at a much higher price. I also strongly feel like this cake may have been purchased from Vons and displayed in their showcase as their own product for resale. Previously, their cakes had a unique and distinct flavor, but this time there was nothing special about it at all. Very disappointing experience. I would not recommend it, and I no longer trust the quality.

    This is becoming problematic! The desserts here can't be beat, even if it's something you've never had before, you know it's going to be absolutely incredible! Sonya is always super friendly and helpful, makes it easy to go back! Gives great advice for which sweet treat will make you the happiest. Any time I take these anywhere, they're very happily received. And their prices are incredibly reasonable!!!

    I'm so glad I stumbled upon this gem while driving by--what a find! I've been in multiple times now, and every experience has been nothing short of wonderful. Honestly, I'm surprised the reviews aren't better, because this place is a treasure. The baklava is out of this world--perfectly balanced, rich, and stays fresh for 7-10 days (not that it ever lasts that long in my house!). The two lovely ladies who are always there when I stop in on Sundays are absolute sweethearts. They're warm, welcoming, and always offer great suggestions when I'm feeling adventurous and want to try something new. The presentation of the sweets is so elegant--truly fit for royalty. Everything looks and tastes like it was made with great care and love. Royal Sweets lives up to its name, and I'll keep coming back again and again! Today I tried the banana tres leches--wow! An incredible, refreshing twist on the classic. So moist, airy, and packed with flavor.

    Passed by this bakery so many times and finally made it in tonight. And all I can say is wow. So many to choose from. A bit overwhelming. I couldn't decide what to choose until a lady came from the back kitchen with freshly baked baklava filled with cream cheese and said here please try and Holy Canoli! ! It was so DELICIOUS! I'm obsessed. They serve pastries, cakes, and ice cream. The only thing missing is a seating area. Would love to have enjoyed the freshly baked goods with a cup of coffee or tea.

    Great variety of food. Server was very nice. No seating in the restaurant. Kanafeh is a must.

    If you love Middle Eastern desserts, this place is a must! The kunefe was perfectly crispy on top with a beautiful layer of cheese, and the pistachio baklava was fresh and flavorful. It honestly made me feel like I was back home. I also tried their viral cakes, and my favorite was the lemon.

    Royal Sweets is one of my favorite dessert place here at ElCajon. Last Saturday we came here and we met a lady named Habiba ( I think that's her name if im not mistaken) She was very friendly and patient with us. We bought 8 different kinds of ice cream to try and all are so good and satisfying. The place was small but it was clean and all their displayed desserts are mouth watering to see.

    Asked for a custom cake with short notice and they delivered! It was exactly like the picture to the tee. Delicious!!!!! Very well priced and on time. Customer service also excellent. Extra thanks to Sophia for making my daughter's bday wish come true!

    Baklava!!! It's so nice to get treats here once in a while. I love pistachios so it's a plus for me to enjoy! I also like trying out other stuff I haven't tried / seen before. Great flavors and textures!!!! Try this place out!!!

The service has always been good, and they are consistently fast and helpful with their customers. They have a huge selection, but of course, you can't forget their famous strudel--definitely something worth trying! This place is also special to me because they made my wedding cake back when the original owners were still around. It's great to see that the new owners have continued the tradition while making a lot of nice upgrades to the business. I can really appreciate the improvements. Overall, great quality, good service, plenty of selection, and a business with history. It may cost a little more, but in my experience, it's well worth it. Definitely worth stopping by and giving them a try!

My sister usually picks up our orders for parties and events. My biggest issue with Hans & Harry's has always been the inconsistency. I'll try something that is absolutely delicious, order it again, and the next time it's just not as good or doesn't taste as fresh. Then I'll move on to something else, love it, and eventually have the same experience. I still keep coming back because they have such a huge selection and, when something is good, it can be really good. Unfortunately, the inconsistency in taste, freshness, and quality can be disappointing. The cherry turnover has been my one reliable favorite that has never disappointed me. Today I ordered a custard pastry shaped like a turnover and a walnut cinnamon braid. Unfortunately, neither tasted particularly fresh, and both were very doughy. The custard filling itself was delicious, but the pastry was much more like a sweet bread than the light, flaky pastry I was expecting. When I asked the employee about it, he didn't really explain that it was more of a sweet bread; he simply agreed that it was fluffy. Had I been craving a sweet bread, I might have enjoyed it more. The walnut cinnamon braid was even more disappointing. One bite was enough for me to decide it wasn't worth the calories! I wanted that first bite to be full of cinnamon, butter, and walnuts--the kind of bite that makes you immediately want another. Instead, it was bland and doughy. Unfortunately, I've experienced the same inconsistency with their cakes and fruit strudel, which I order regularly for parties. Sometimes they are absolutely to die for, and other times they're just not that great. There's obviously a reason I continue coming back: Hans & Harry's has an incredible variety, and I know how good their desserts can be. I just wish the freshness and quality were more consistent from one visit to the next.

    My wife was craving clam chowder in a sourdough bowl. I got all the ingredients for the chowder,…read morebut I needed the bowl. So I asked Mr.Google where I could find a high quality sourdough loaf. Of course I paged down past the paid ads and found Angela's Eccentric Kitchen. The website said they open at 7:00, so after filling up at Costco, I headed over. They're a couple of doors down from Mary's donuts. I walked in and was greeted immediately and asked what I'm looking for. I explained my story and was shown the perfect sourdough loaf for my needs. Now, I'm not personally a fan of sourdough, but when I hollowed out the bowl, I tried some and oh my gosh, it was delicious! I painted the bowl with olive oil cod placed it in a. 350° oven for about 15 minutes to toast. I painted the lid with EVOO and sprinkled with salt, granulated garlic, and dried chives. I mixed the innerds the same way and put all of them in the air fried at 400° for 6 minutes to toast. Once done, I let the bowl cool for a half hour and couldn't stop snacking on the croutons while making the chowder from scratch. Once the chowder was ready, I assembled the meal and gave it to my wife. She devoured it forthwith and said it was better than that served on Fisherman's wharf in San Francisco. Now, if I'd been thinking, I'd have gotten some of their tasty looking sweet treats for desert. But I'll be back. I encourage you to come by for your bread and sweet bakery needs. You won't be disappointed.
