“The meat pies were phenomenal 😍 and the chicken and beef empanadas were soooo good! I love the green sauce that they give you with the empanadas! The cheese bread was awesome and they gave us a Cheese Danish to try with some coffee ☕️ we called at closing time but they stayed open for us!! Great people!!! Will definitely come back again!“

“I found Taste of Home Cakes and cup cakes by pure chance. I was looking for a very specific cake to compliment my sister's baby shower theme. She was having a Frieda Kahlua baby theme. Armen was professional and extremely helpful. The cake was not only stunning but moist and delicious. All of our guest could not stop raving about the cake. I have found a favorite bakery for every special occasion and can not recommend them enough!“

“Crumbl Cookie Shop never disappoints. I really appreciated how fast our order was assembled — efficient, organized, and seamless from start to finish.

One of the best parts is that you can actually see them baking and preparing everything. The open concept adds a level of transparency and freshness that makes the experience even better.

The cookies were warm, soft, and packed with flavor. Great service, great quality, and consistently a solid choice when you’re craving something sweet. We’ll definitely be back.“

“It is a great group meeting to support and encourage business growth in the area.“

“The cake we ordered exceeded my expectations by far I have a very general theme and color and it came out amazing!!! The flavor was perfect seriously the best cake ever!! Once again beyond happy and I will continue to get all my cakes here 🫶🏼“

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

“Really good bread I couldn't stop eating it! It was warm and soft but crunchy outside. The place is really small even though it looks big on the outside. They have bread and a few sweet pasteries and I saw they gave lollipops to the kids!“

“Absolutely kind friendly lady here can't remember her name with glasses gifted me with small buntcakes! They were delighted! Strawberry cake I believe it was! Fresh good customer service from her! Recommend so long as she and other like her keep giving good customer service! She brightened my day with her kindness! Thank you!“

“Hit up the New Nutmeg on Danielson Street in Poway. I heard their Scripps location closed because the landlord raised the rent so high it was unaffordable for them to stay there. We were a large group so we were able to order a bunch of menu items. There was a line but its a very popular place so we were not surprised. We started with some espresso drinks, and agua frescas. We had the Hearty Bowl, Avocado Toast, and Amazing Burrito. Some in our group had the new Grandpa's Breakfast Bun with the egg and spam, and the Porky. They are very flexible with special orders including one in our group who is gluten sensitive. We finished, sharing their in-house baked pastries (they have gluten-free pastries); the warmed espresso scones and cinnamon buns (don't ever leave without having the "buns"). I work in the area so Nutmeg is now my go-to for breakfast before work, or lunch. Its also located nearby Costco and Home Depot, convenient for a weekend meal before or after my weekly Costco runs.“

“Sooooo good!!!!! I am trying “mostly” vegan this year so this was such a find! We got pastries for my sister’s birthday. She has lots of food sensitivities and can’t eat dairy. The PERFECT birthday treat! VERY friendly and helpful staff!“

“Stopped by for the first time and had tons of questions about all the different cakes and flavor and Melia went above and beyond. She was not only incredibly kind, but also so patient and genuinely helpful. It made the whole experience feel welcoming and fun.“

“I went to O’Brien’s for the first time today. My Mother-in-law highly recommended the restaurant so I could meet my friend. The food was delicious. The service was great- Thank You Sarah and team. I am so excited to try the different types of breads and pastries. O’ Brien’s is known for their delicious breads, especially sour dough. If you are in the San Diego area, differently check out this restaurant! Sit down and relax with your favorite cup of coffee or tea with a sweet pastry, great bread or something from their delicious menu.“

“Love the food, and the workers there are super sweet. ( pun not intended )“

“Las manteconchas 🐷🐷🐷🐷🐷🐷🐷🐷🐷🐷🐷“

“Hands down the best sugar free keto bread I’ve ever tried! I got the St. James Spanish Cake for $12 at the Little Italy farmers market. It had the right amount of sweetness from the oranges and the bread was moist and soft making it the perfect combination for my morning coffee. I just got it Saturday and it is now Monday, practically gone. Time to ration for the rest of the week haha
Will be back again for another!“

“The only bread I eat. Specifically the brown pita. Tastes the best.“

“Beautifully baked products at a value for buck price range“

“Ahearn Team Real Estate purchased 300 pies to give back to the community for thanksgiving. The pies were delicious, kosher, and a huge success, thank you to Langs! They were delivered at the promised time and very reasonable on the price for such a large order. Our clients in the community were thrilled with how tasty they were and the presentation was lovely. We look forward to coming back to Langs each year for our annual giveaway.“

The people there were friendly and welcoming, which made the whole experience even better. I’ll definitely be coming back and recommending it to friends and family.“

“This wasn’t just a visit—it was an experience. The desserts are next-level, rich in flavor, perfectly balanced, and clearly made with top-quality ingredients and real passion. Every bite feels like something special.

Customer service? Truly outstanding. Friendly, professional, fast, and incredibly attentive—you genuinely feel like a VIP from the moment you walk in.

The place itself is spotless, elegant, and beautifully organized, reflecting a high level of professionalism.

Honestly, this isn’t just a sweets shop—it’s a full experience. Highly recommended, and definitely one of my favorite spots now“

“Amazing customer service, people always smiling and doing their best to serve customers. Always leave the place with a sweet feeling ;)“

“Very true to Turkish experience for flavors. The baklava was a Turkish style which is a bit softer and has more syrup than an Arab or Pakistani style and it felt like I was back in Turkey. Chocolate baklava was my favorite, the original was a bit too sweet.

The Turkish tea and pistachio latte were the stars of the show. The best I’ve ever had.

Very nice place to come for an hour and relax.“

“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!“

“Dream Fountain is the place to go for all your desserts and catering needs. Martin and Ivan do an amazing job on their work, and their cakes are very detailed. For my sons baptism cake, it was done at Dream Fountain. It was so detailed and was very good. My wife and I couldn't have imaged the cake any better then this! They never disappoint!! Highly recommended!“

“This very well could be my very favorite Trader Joe's I've ever been to. I love how much space is throughout the store and how it's easier to navigate throughout! The best part: the parking lot is so large and easily accessible! Employees were very kind, the store is well stocked and clean, and what's not to love about TJ's products?!“

“Today, I bought a cake for my sister, and the service was excellent. The staff was friendly, joking, and laughing, creating a great atmosphere. I don’t understand why some people say their service isn’t good—we’ve been buying from them regularly and have never had a bad experience! I would give them a well-deserved 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️, plus an extra 10 stars for the wonderful lady who provided outstanding service ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.“

“This small business is community-centered and the treats are made with love. I highly recommend the beautiful and delicious cookies for any special occasion- or just because. You will be proud to show these cookies off.. incredible!“

“I love their food. Wish they have the langs challah bread, their challah bread is not something you can do kiddush with.“

“Visiting the area & stopped in because it was close to where we were - glad we did. The best frappes we’ve had, no joke! Cozy little coffee shop. Good service.“

“Coffee is really good !! Owners are incredibly nice !“

“If you're ever in El Cajon you have to stop here. It's a total must-do anytime I come back to town.
​These are not those silly, fancy donuts that places like Krispy Kreme or Dunkin' try to sell you. They are the real ones. The donuts you actually remember from when you were a kid.
​Seriously, forget those imitators and stick with the originals right here. This place is a must-have for the great taste and a powerful trip down memory lane.“

“This is a very calm warming coffee shop. The owner is super friendly and welcoming. I can’t wait to go back.“

“Excellent service and I enjoy going there anytime when open.😁“
