She was really flexible with my changing head count and just shared the minimum cost which was around $330. She had me choose what design I wanted to paint in advance too, which was easy! Review - I planned this for my birthday and I had such a fun time. Davina really walks you through the steps in an easy to understand way and shows you how to do each step on her own canvas. It was totally fun and doable for my friends who are not generally crafting people! The studio has great decorations and ambiance, Davina gave us glasses, glow in the dark hair clip, and a hat to take home with us. The final painting is so pretty and glows in the dark. Super recommend, especially for kids, families, friends. COVID - we didn't wear masks but you could wear masks. Davina shared she is vaxxed and boosted.

Cute Cakes was listed as a preferred vendor of our wedding venue, and after reviewing other…read moreoptions, we decided to do a to-go tasting with them. Although we both couldn't agree on the provided cake + frosting combos provided, we liked the quality of the cakes and decided to order a small red velvet cutting cake for our wedding reception. Most correspondence was done over email, which was easy, and our main contact, Logan, was very responsive and informative. We felt the price was reasonable and appreciated being able to make changes up until the week before our event (added on flower arrangements and a few vegan cupcakes). Our coordinator handled the delivery on the day of, but the cake looked beautiful when we finally saw it. And even more, it tasted delicious.

The service was amazing, the person helping us did not rush us and was very helpful. We ordered 3 cupcakes, 1 brownie and 1 cheesecakes.

Since we came after closing we did not get to see the ambiance but there were plenty of chairs and free wifi. We hope to be back again!

I thought the food was delicious. It started with some fresh fruit and then we had our choice of broccoli cheese or tomato basil soup. A few girls in our group got each and both were enjoyed very much. The pastry tower was really lovely. Standouts for me were the egg salad sandwich, shepherds pie and chocolate mousse. We tried a few of the teas, everyone loved the Buccaneer Black Tea and the Peaches & Roses. The women who owned the business were so nice and we had fun looking around the little shop afterward. We would definitely return to this business.

Going here has changed my view on High Tea. I live close to…read morehere, and walk Grand Avenue a lot, I pass by the Grand tea room, a lot and have never been. I can't say I had the interest in going, however that changed and my curiosity about what a High Tea was, and the crowds here at "Tea Time" left me wanting to try it out. This was not just Tea, this was a bounty of tea, they had so many different types and flavors of tea (40+) that you sort of want to try them all, while technically you can as the tea is unlimited, but trust me you won't as the two pots of tea you start with, is a lot of tea for two! Sure, in a larger group you can try a lot more, but it's still a lot of tea. The Grand Tea, High Tea option was what we went with, and you started with a soup, followed by a tiered selection of sandwiches, desserts and scones. I assumed that I would have a snack here and then get something else to actually eat but I was filled to the brim when I left here. This place was full to capacity when we went, but you did not feel encroached on, the owner Louisa, the servers, all amazing, welcoming and nice. I feel like I was a bit unprepared as everyone else was dressed up with little hats, and my wife and I had no little hats! Next time, I will 100% at least sport that little hat, and there will be a next time, absolutely great experience!

They were such a good value because each dunk tank is about eight cups. The dunk tank requires a minimum of 4 people, so make sure to have your ids ready. We started with the Watermelon Mega Rita Dunk Tank: a mixture of Jose Cuervo Especial, orange liquor, watermelon puree, and sweet and sour. Then, we got the Mad Mai Tai Dunk Tank, which is made with Bacardi Coconut, Bacardi Silver, Blue Curacao, and pineapple juice. Our group's overall favorite was the Mad Mai Tai because the coconut flavor was delicious. We also ordered the Alley Sampler which was $35.99. This was quite filling because it came with fries, wings, chicken tenders, cheesy dippers, and pretzel dippers. It also automatically comes with four sauces. Bowling was also a lot of fun. Bowlero played a lot of music from the early 2000s ranging from RnB, pop, and rap. We thoroughly enjoyed the music while bowling, and I saw several customers also vibing to the music. I would definitely return in the future for another fun time.

Bernardo Winery was the perfect place to get our feet wet back in the world as new parents. Parking was stress free. The winery is very spread out so we didn't feel strange bringing our stroller and there were plenty of seat yourself options that were shaded outside. We sat and drank our wine glasses and tastings in the restaurant seating area. Baby slept through the whole journey before we turned back home to San Diego. My husband really liked his pizza that he ordered. I got the vodka rigatoni which was also pretty good. I got a mixed wine flight with some reds and whites. If you're planning to do some tastings with people under 21, just a warning that the underage folks cannot go in the tasting room.

This is a unique spot in the San Diego area and it was certainly very affordable at the time given what we got and the prices that things go for in San Diego for a 70 person wedding.

I also wrote a longer message and they were able to include it in the delivery card. Most important, the flowers were so beautiful. I ordered the arrangement titled, A Mother's Love. I upgraded to deluxe and there were a lot of flowers and little filler, which is what I wanted. They were fresh, full, beautiful mix of colors in shades of pink/light purple, with six different types of flowers. Once delivered, I got a confirmation and a photo of the arrangement. It was arranged exactly like the photo on the website. The recipient loved them. Great product and on-time delivery for the money spent. Great value for sure. I will use this local florist again, rather than the bigger name brands. I want to do my part to support small businesses.
