    Extract options beyond my wildest dreams!
    Fred L.

    Originally I didn't want anyone to know about this store so my wife and I and a handful of people could pretty much have it all to ourselves. But at this time, when people are on lockdown again and staying home more, baking hobbyists and baking businesses need to support this place more than ever. My wife and I drive all the way from Vista to come down here and trust me, it's worth it. Why wait for Amazon when you have it here right now when you need it? I took photos of all the things that would normally catch our eyes when we walk in. Caroliina and Sheryl were very polite and friendly as always. I want to support this place because they make sure bakers have all they need to keep doing what they love. Thank you staff at Standlees! We'll definitely see you all again soon!

    I have had this place booked marked for a while and while down here for a dentist appointment so I finally made it down here. I'm glad I did because this place was a bakers dream store. The store is big, had lots of cupcake toppers and a ton of cookie cutters. The owner is what really stuck out to me. She was so kind an went way above to provide amazing service. I wanted anatomy chocolate molds ( like kidneys and hearts ) an she special ordered them for me. ( I'm in nursing school an I kinda thought this would be a great present for my teacher) Definitely would recommend coming here if you love baking, it literally is still on my mind hours later.

    I've recently gotten into baking a lot so wanted to find a good store with a lot of decorations and other necessities that I needed. It's a cute 2 room store. They have a good variety of different things for baking. The owner was nice and very helpful. She even gave me a sample so I could try the buttercream icing! They have the icing in white, red and black. They have a vendor in there throughout the week that can specially make different cookie cutters and other items that the store may not have. Some items can be a little pricey. The only discount I know of is the one on Yelp for checking in. They honor it even though it's expired. They have a 75% off clearance table, but it's kind of picked over and random stuff.

    What I was making when I made the visit it was not quite finished in this pic

    Little bit pricey and I feel like I'm being watched as I shop not quite sure if it's customer service or being micromanaged as I am trying to shop either way it goes if I need help I'll ask for it, it definitely makes me want to just shop Amazon or wish if I have enough time as I said it's pretty pricey stuff there I can get for a lot cheaper but I go there when I'm in a bind and I have to have something right away but as I said again I feel micromanaged when I'm there Kennett as if I'm being followed they offer right away to go put the stuff up that's in your hands at the register and I get the customer service but at the same time it makes me feel like you think I'm going to steal and I don't like that so if I have an opportunity To shop elsewhere I will just because of that.

    VENUE-5 stars I am in awe when I walk into this place. They have quite a bit of cake supplies to meet your baking needs. They also have all the colors of the rainbow of chocolate for the candy molds and so many choices of different molds. SERVICE- 5 stars I thought the ladies that work here are so extremely helpful and patient. Really makes me want to better my skills as a cake maker.

    Came in yesterday looking for hard candy molds. While they do not have a huge selection it was good enough to buy some at about $3 each. They have a lot of the LorAnn oil flavorings also fairly priced. Great place for weddings. If you bake or you make candy this is the place for you. They also have a guy who can make 3D molds for you within 4 business days. The employees were helpful.

    Needed a large amount of pink sprinkles and they had it!

    This place had exactly what I needed, more and more bakery supply stores are closing but I'm glad this one is still around!

    My haul

    I stopped here this week for the first time and loved it! I'm far from a professional baker, in fact I'm pretty crappy at decorating cakes. But I've stepped up my Youtube cake baking/decorating video viewing so that I can finally churn out some decent looking sweets once I'm equipped with the proper tools. I'm too lazy to make one, but if I had a "30 before I'm 30" list, baking something professional looking would be on it. Could you just hit the internet for baking supplies? Sure, but then you'd be missing an opportunity to support a local business. The local baking/cookingware shops are drying up around San Diego and I refuse to let them all die. Chef City is my fave place to go for cooking supplies and drooling over commercial restaurant cooking machines, but I need a bakery store. Google presented me with Standlee's. I've read a few reviews saying the reviewer had been ignored or had a poor customer service experience but I had a great visit. There were two women working in this cute shop. The owner herself even walked over because the cashier was busy with another customer at the moment. They both made me feel welcome and like I could ask questions if I had any. There are signs posted to keep your kids from grabbing/breaking the merch which is totally understandable. Maybe leave your kids at home with a responsible adult if they're particularly grabby and destructive. They have a great selection of gel paste colors, liquid dyes, flavor extracts, sprinkles, pearls, sprays, cookie cutters, candy molds, cupcake liners, decorating tools, and all kinds of cake boards. There's a lot of stuff packed in this little shop. From what I've read online the store has actually been expanded so if you haven't been here in 10 years, it's twice as big now! If you need something to decorate with or bake in- they've probably got it. The prices were totally reasonable and some things were even cheaper than Amazon. for 13 bucks I walked away with 5 gel paste colors in the exact shades I wanted and a frosting smoother. By shopping here I saved over 10 bucks vs. Amazon prices. Buy local and support this lovely shop. Keep your eyes on their social media pages for their upcoming classes/events. I look forward to trying a few classes in the future and they vary in skill level/cost. Some are kid-oriented and look like your kids will have a blast. Bring some change for the parking meters and be prepared to get a huge itch to bake something pretty!

    They make custom cookie cutter! Made within 72 hours. Quoted $18.99

I never really have a difficult time finding things in stock and they are extraordinary when it comes to calling them for stock checks. Roughly 85-90% of the staff I have ever met here have been exceptionally great to be around. I used to bond with one of the girls back in my early 20s when I started coming here in the late 2000s. I know that it's probably an extrovert part of me, but the people who work here are oddly therapeutic to talk to and they make the day easier with their questions. It feels like a family whenever I talk to anyone working the cash register. I love the quality of everything at Trader Joe's. I even use their skincare. Highly recommended and comparable to large brand names for cheaper prices. I don't know how Trader Joe's always knows how to get with the times, but they do a good job most of the time getting down flavors/vibes. The ambiance is easy to navigate, very straightforward layout. I highly suggest going before lunch time/after school rush. Don't be surprised if you meet your soulmate at Trader Joe's! The bright lights and flowing conversations make it easy to talk to randoms. Please invite me if you do meet your soulmate at this one. The card I sign will most likely be from their clever card section selection. Teehee
