“Met Toran at our work event and he shared his story… What an amazing business! Everyone needs to go and try this pudding!!! I will always support a business that supports the community and will always show up when asked! Thanks for the amazing pudding, and for showing up!“

“Best donuts for miles and miles around. Happy I made the drive.“

“I normally order the Panda Cloud Foam. Today I ordered the White Rabbit and Meis Keso Both good“

“Amazing Japanese-style shaved ice dessert! You can get it with or without ice cream. Ripe and flavorful fruit pieces (mangos, peach, strawberry, etc) hidden inside a smooth, lightly sweeten layer of shaved ice. Perfectly refreshing on a hot day. The shop also feels cozy, typical Japanese style. Parking can be a bit tricky in the little plaza. Better to park on Raytheon Rd to the North and walk in.“

“This shop is surprisingly really solid. The desserts are delicious, original, and super cute. All the drinks we’ve tried have been great, specifically the smoothies and sparkling sodas. They use real fruit so the drinks taste awesome. Will definitely be returning!!“

“Every time I visit, the cookies are fresh, warm, and packed with flavor. I love that the menu changes weekly—it keeps things fun and gives me something new to look forward to. The store is super clean, the staff is friendly, and the service is always fast. My favorites so far are the classic chocolate chip and any of their seasonal specials. Definitely worth the hype!“

“Love great cookies!“

“A pretty cool, straightforward matcha cafe in Kearny Mesa next to Brothers Mexican and Chaba Thai Kitchen. When you enter, you’re hit with the cool A/C, medium-loud contemporary music playlist, and a usually vacant interior filled with small tables. You order at the kiosks in the front right of the store next to the counter. It’s pretty much self-service matcha.

I’ve only had the matcha latte and the matcha tea. Both are really tasty, smooth, and reasonably earthy. The matcha latte is best iced with 50% sweetness and whole milk. Super refreshing without being overly sweet or masking the flavor profile of the matcha too much.

For some, the self-service aspect of this place might be a turnoff, but for me it’s kind of a nice reprieve from your typical monotonous service-worker interactions. Overall, really good matcha latte and matcha tea, a bit pricey (but that’s matcha in 2026), and pleasant atmosphere.“

“Been enjoying gourmet crème brûlée from The Brûlée Bar for years. We love the creativity and flavors they come up with. And the prices are good as well. Don’t miss an opportunity to try them at your local farmers market.“

“my go-to ice cream place here. It's amazing. I especially love the thai tea and cookies and cream shaved snow. The topping choice is plentiful. so delicious. also slightly cheaper compared to other options in the area. i've been going here for quite a while, and it never dissapoints. if you're in the area, you have to try it.“

“This place has the absolute hands down, best baklava period! Their variety and quality are unmatched! Wherever you are in the San Diego area, please do yourself a favor and get over there! You will not regret it!“

“My mom was visiting San Diego with my neither and brought home a box. This backlava is delicious!!!! El Paso, TX approved!!!“

“mi experiencia con la chica que atiende fue poco agradable ella no sabía que darme yo le pedí que me recomendara algo picante y acidito no quería paletas ni raspa. ella me dijo voy abriendo y no tengo nada listo era ñn 2 10 dela tarde le pedía algo y para todo decía esque voy abriendo no tengo nada listo. termine por decirle dame unos testigos ponle gomistas de chile y puso salsa. la verdad ya no regrese ese es mi horario regular de comida y después de comer elijo comprar un snack creo que deberían preparar con tiempo aunque sea algo leve para los clientes como yo que tenemos ese horario“

“This place is so cute!! We were walking by and had to stop to see the cute bears! My girls loved the rainbow cupcakes! I got the s’mores cupcake and it was 10/10, so good!! My husband is a celiac, so I was also excited to see all the gluten free options! We bought two GF cupcakes and they were delicious! The owner noted that they can make anything GF with advance notice, which was nice to hear! Honestly, a lot of GF cupcakes are NOT good, so this was delightful! :-)“

“The taro bingsoo was so gooooooood!“

“The Passionfruit Tart, Chocolate Marquise, Banana Butterscotch and Pistachio Strawberry were all beautiful and delicious. I would definitely repeat them, but I also have a Bucket List a mile long.

If you are looking for a Gourmet Dessert, this place nails it. This was my first time trying their desserts. I had them delivered and they arrived in great shape.

If I was forced to choose a favorite, the Passionfruit Tart might win. But the Chocolate Marquise has chocolate mousse with a chocolate ganache. Swoon. I think it's by Clement. His have a special look. The Passionfruit Tart had a chocolate crust and Passionfruit Curd filling. I am always crazy about a tropical flavor like that.

Everything was so beautiful, you can't help but feel happier just looking at them. It's always nice when they taste as good as they look.

And now, I have tried them a second time and found some new favorites. The Chocolate Hazelnut was incredible! I also loved the chocolate strawberry heart. These beautiful, delicious desserts have made my day... twice. 🥰“

“These cookies are awesome and I am a customer for life. The size of the cookies and brownies are large, which makes their cost worth it. The customer service was excellent and I wish I would have bought more. Three days later and the cookies still tasted fresh.“
