Such a great find in Poway! This bakery is an absolute gem--everything was so clean, organized, and…read morebeautifully displayed, which made the whole experience even better. You can really tell they take pride in what they do, especially since all their breads and pastries are made in-house. We ordered the full stack (10/10)--it was incredibly fluffy, moist, and just perfect. Easily one of the best I've had. The Reuben was also delicious (8/10), with fresh, crispy bread that really brought everything together. Of course, we couldn't leave without grabbing a few pastries to go, and they did not disappoint! On top of the amazing food, the staff were all so kind and polite, which made the visit even more enjoyable. We'll definitely be coming back!

I think the prices were decent. Not a huge selection but they did have quite a few things that caught my eye. I ended up with: 1. Bread pudding - I liked it. I mean it wasn't as good as mine but this wasn't too bad at all. 2. Fruit tart- needed a little more sweet to the crust. Sorry but Porto's tart is better. But I would get this again. The fruit was so good and the custard. 3. Red Velvet cupcake - needed a little more moisture or maybe mine was went fresh. Also the icing is pretty sweet and "stiff" I will return to try a few other things d or may e sit down and eat. This place gets extra points for the packaging. I love the Tiffany Blue box... FANCY haha.

I stopped by Jessie's Bake Shop and noticed she had walnut banana bread.  I didn't detect any fresh baked smell you get from the best bakeries.  End piece was dry and the edge was hard.  I was hoping to be awash in banana flavor but mostly it was walnuts.  I couldn't eat more than the once piece and gave the rest away. Staff was nice.  Jessie should setup a day old area.  Selling day old bread at full price is not gonna bring me back here.

I knew I had found a good place when I couldn't even find parking in the parking lot on a Saturday morning. There was a line out of the door and most tables outside were occupied.

From pastries to sandwiches, bread and salads even dressings and also merch! What a hidden gem! Staff is super friendly and very informative.

Everything looked beautiful and was such a hit. I highly recommend booking with her, she is super talented, professional, and flexible. Her prices are more than fair and you can really count on the experience being something special. We only had a small wedding and we did two tastings because I wanted everything just right. She was so patient and guided us with recommendations. She even put together a fruit platter for us when I asked if that was something she could do. Her macarons are spot on and her donuts were such a crowd pleaser. Try her cornbread, it was perfectly moist and delicious! Can't go wrong booking with her and I cannot wait to work with her again in the future! **cake was done by another bakery

Jessica is the most professional down to earth woman, who I had the pleasure of getting to know over the last year. A wife and mother of two with the greatest story of how she got started - I will save this for you to ask about because it's one you won't forget. We found FCBC through our caterer and from first contact we knew that she would exceed our expectations. She helped us find our five flavors with several tastings (I happily ate every single macaroon!) that were delivered to our home. The toughest job was narrowing the flavors down to five, but thankfully we can reorder all the time! I wanted elegance, romance and an experience we and our guest would never forget. She completely crushed it, 500 macaroons which really meant 1,000 cookies, finding there match which was no easy task but she took it on with the most joyous attitude and shared little previews along the way. Jess was prompt for delivery (way out in Fallbrook) set up our display and coordinated with our planner and florist to make sure that our dessert table was stunning. The designs were impeccable; down to the speckles, gold leaf details and the colors. We even had the sweetest set of macaroons waiting on our sweetheart table waiting for us, decorated with "Bride & Groom" and that attention to detail did not go unnoticed. She packed us to go boxes which was so appreciated because as hosts of a wedding you sometimes miss the opportunity to raid the sweets table. Two days later the macaroons were still just as soft and delicious as the day of. We loved that our cake was also packed so that we could enjoy it or save it for next year! I found a friend, an extremely talented baker and a true creative genius along this wedding journey. I 100% recommend Flour Child Baking Company more for your special events as well as weekly sweet tooth cravings! Check out their IG @flourchildbakingcompany for more beautiful photos!

This is a smaller location with a condensed menu from the Sabre Springs location. So don't expect to find the pancakes on this menu or the large assortment of baked goods.

The berries that were on top of my waffles were delicious. They were tart and sweet. The plate also comes with eggs cooked to your preference and choice of sausage patty or bacon. Minus 1 star due to our order came out at various times. There was more than10 minutes between when the 1st plate and last plate was delivered to our table.

The checkout people are always friendly and my kids even love coming for the free lollipops after finding the hidden horse. If you have any questions about the new products they always do their best to help. This is one grocery store I feel like I leave in a better mood than when I came lol! Even though we usually check out with a huge cartful, no one ever makes it feel like its a burden. Love Trader Joe's, and this location is definitely one of the best I've been to!

You order and pay up at the counter, they hand you a number stand, then hunt for a place to sit. There were groups of people hanging out and "brunching", while others were alone working in laptops. Honestly, I wouldn't be able to concentrate in there with all the noise. Anyhoo, I ordered the benedict, which came with a side of potatoes. Looked very appetizing! Unfortunately, I found everything to be on the salty side, especially the potatoes. My friend ordered their breakfast "burrito" filled with veggies and a protein of sorts (please look up the menu to find out what is inside). The burrito was more like a wrap, so not your typical burrito, but it was tasty! It came with a spicy sauce on the side and fruit. It didn't really need the sauce because the burrito was pretty flavorful; but if you wanted a extremely slight kick, add the sauce. I also took home a rolled Nutella pastry. It was very rich, flaky, and drizzling with Nutella. I ate it (only half) when I got home and I remembered the guy asking if I wanted it warmed up. I should have done that. Overall, it is a great place to meet up with friends and chat up a storm. Trust me, no one will hear your conversations. Would I come back? Sure. Although it is pretty far, I would probably try one of their drinks and something else on the menu, and maybe ask for no salt on the potatoes.
