AMAZING! I was in town for a week and visited this place twice. My favorite dessert (out of the 3 we tried) was the lava bun, it was absolutely incredible!

It seems like the owner don't ...

It seems like the owner don't care, bad service over priced and very unpleasant taste, honesty this place is not worth waiting 30 minutes just to sit and another 30 minutes to get your desserts, do US a favor and close down for good

best deserts

This place has excellent deserts and very well presented. A little pricey but you have to come and try them.

Yummy to the Tummy

Desserts are incredible. We have been buying our favorite dessert the Passion Fruit Cake for the past 10 years or longer since Karen opened her first location in Hillcrest on 5th ave. Staff very friendly, accomodating, warm atmosphere and fun goodies available to buy as well.

Just pay what it costs

It's worth the price. The desserts here are fabulous. It doesn't matter if you just want a scone or a slice of cake. Occassionally, I grab a treat from Starbucks and really you're paying about 75cents to $1 more here but the size, presentation, and most importantly the taste is not even comparable. I went for the first time after a recent Boss' Day lunch. There were 5 of us and we started by ordering two items to share. After everyone tasted, we each got up and got something of our own. I have since been back there 2 more times and last week brought home a small dessert. My kids and mother each tasted it and surprise! my 12 year old has changed her b-day plans to include having her friends gather there (all the way from North County) to kick off her birthday afternoon.



I'd heard about this place but really never ventured downtown for a taste becz I just didn't believe it was worth the drive and parking hassles of downtown. Parking was easy becz it wasn't in a very crowded area and indeed, they must use a special addicting sugar becz I think about excuses to go there and bring something in.

At what price?

Sure it's great-- but I'd hope a $15 piece of cakes and coffee would knock me over. It doesn't.
