If you're looking for fresh delicious French pastries and bread this is the place to be! Wow…read moreeverything I had was so perfect! 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. I certainly did not mind waiting one bit when it's good! The variety is big, everything looks so good you want one of everything. From pastries to sandwiches, bread and salads even dressings and also merch! What a hidden gem! Staff is super friendly and very informative. The sweet girl helping me was so nice and was able to answer all of my questions and her suggestions were great. I will be coming back again and again for sure!

Happened upon this gem while bouncing around open houses the other month and now it's a favorite!…read moreThe selection is extensive whether you want breakfast, lunch, dessert or a snack! They even have meals to go that you can enjoy on a picnic or for dinner. They always have a delightful seasonal latte and different yummy specials! My only wish is that they had more seating because it's quite limited and it's the type of spot where you want to stay a while to catch up with loved ones. The parking lot is also a nightmare with teeny tiny spaces, so expect to suck in when getting in/out of your car.

That's the brioche cut right in the middle. On the top right you see the total amount of "Nutella filling".

I cannot say enough about Jess. She made the pastries for our wedding and everything was absolutely…read moredelicious! We were so, so happy with it all. 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!

Excellent and beautiful cake. Fast service and…read morecommunication. Thank you elite, will order again. Mike

Unfortunately, I wasn't even able to place an order, so I'm very frustrated with the service and…read morethe time I wasted over the course of a week trying to order cupcakes. I don't know why she didn't just tell me she didn't want to take my order. From her first response to her last, my gut feeling was right. I never should have spent my time and energy giving her my business. Her communication was poor from the beginning. She did not answer my questions right away, gave short responses, and I often had to ask the same questions more than once before getting an answer. I immediately felt like I was not welcomed as a customer. Even though most of her reviews seemed good, I tried to be patient and continue with the order. Before I could send payment, she said there was a family emergency, that she had to travel, and that she would no longer be able to make the cupcakes. While emergencies certainly happen and it could truly be the case- the timing left me skeptical, especially since the event is still over two weeks away. Before being cancelled on, I was simply asking for written confirmation of the correct order details and pricing (bc in her previous email it was incorrect). I wanted the correct cupcake order and price written down for a paper trail before sending payment. It did not need to be official, but after the incorrect total and poor communication, I felt uneasy. Her explanation for the wrong amount did not make sense compared to her listed prices, which made me feel like she may have been trying to upcharge me. Regardless of the emergency, communication was just poor and that's the main reason for this review. I don't know if my order was too difficult because I requested several different flavors, no designs, except for one cupcake. I'm not sure where things went wrong, but I'm very disappointed because her work looks great. Some of her reviews mentioned good communication, but that was not my experience at all. I hope she does not treat another customer this way, especially because planning a party is already stressful. If she does not answer your questions clearly and promptly, I would consider taking your business elsewhere. I would not recommend.

Overall good experience at the Nutmeg Cafe in Poway. We decided to go there for brunch with some…read morework colleagues. 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. They serve lunch sandwiches and some breakfast items. Somewhat hidden location. So look out for the signs. I ordered an iced latte it was good and also ordered the waffles breakfast plate. 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. So we waited for everyone at the table to have their food and some were eating cold food.

I just found out this place has been open for a year, and I can't believe I didn't know about it…read moreuntil now! Turns out they relocated from the Scripps Poway Parkway location, which used to be one of my favorite cafés. The new spot is tucked inside an industrial unit--you wouldn't find it unless you noticed the sign out on the street or if you're looking for it. Inside, it's super cozy with comfortable chairs, and the staff is absolutely wonderful. My latte was delicious, though I wish I hadn't had to ask for a "for here" cup. Definitely planning to come back!
