Recently went here with my wife for some Valentine's Day dessert. So many delicious looking items to choose from. It's a little pricey for desserts but definitely worth the occasional splurge. It was around $30 for the 2 items we chose. I recommend this location because they have plenty of indoor seating unlike the one near Balboa Park.

Disappointing. I remember when this was the cottage near balboa and the flavors wowed me. Bought two cookies today and a pastry. They actually tasted bad...all butter and heavy consistency but none of the flavor, sweetness I remember from the 2010 era. The napoleon tasted okay but I have made lighter and sweeter. 3 stars for the tea flavors.

Visited here after dinner on a rainy night. Service was lacking, had to repeat our order three times. The golden milk was excellent and the Ivoire Royale was quite the treat with white chocolate shavings and fruit baked in.

Gluten free desserts! The Carrot Cake (not GF) was the best I have ever had!

A truly extraordinary experience at Extraordinary Desserts! Artistic and inspiring space, beautifully crafted desserts, and stunning presentation that makes every bite an experience on its own. A must-visit for dessert lovers.

would like to bring up a concern regarding my recent experience with Extraordinary Desserts. I have always loved this place and have visited many times with my family, which is why this experience was especially disappointing.

I recently ordered a birthday cake and interacted with a staff member named Arjun. Unfortunately, the package I received did not reflect the quality or care I have come to expect from Extraordinary Desserts. It did not feel like a special-order birthday cake. Basic items such as napkins and candles were not included, which is something many bakeries routinely provide—especially for a birthday order.

I believe good customer service is about attention to detail and making customers feel valued. This time, I did not feel that level of care. I was genuinely excited about choosing Extraordinary Desserts, and instead I felt disappointed and sad when I saw what I received.

I wanted to share this feedback because I’ve always had high expectations of your brand, and this experience fell short of them.

After a nice walk around little Italy and the harbor I found this place for a little break. Little did I know it would become my absolutely favorite spots for dessert. Had a jam tart with rose petals . Everything was so well balanced and the taste was simply perfect. Would recommend if anyone wants to have a great experience in a place hidden by the tourist crowd and delivering on amazing desserts.

Absolutely delectable! Top quality ingredients, attention to detail, simply gorgeous design, hands down best lemon bar (perfect tartness and lovely with the gold leaf lemon slice!) and classic custard parisiennes with strawberry was divine!

My husband and I came here last night and we were so impressed by the desserts we got, he got carrot cake and I got a cake that resembles a strawberry shortcake but I forgot the name of it and pink hot coco and everything was wonderful!

Came here for some dessert takeout around 3 PM. The restaurant is pretty empty during that time and there’s no wait for takeouts. Love their desserts, especially their cakes. It is not super sweet, but with a balanced taste between ingredients. I also like their pastries as well. Everything’s on the price of your side but if you have the time to sit down, have a cup of tea or coffee with their dessert it is definitely worth it.

The environment is really nice, service was great.
I wish I had took pictures of what I ordered.
Pistachio Dubai cookie was amazing!
Dulce de leche and chocolate cake was very good.
I wish live near there and try all the desserts.

Obscenely sweet desserts and huge portions. 1 piece of cake can be shared among many since it is super sugary.
The Tortamisu is mediocre at best but the lemon bar and blood orange scone were decent.
The awfully chocolate cake really honors its name, it’s good for 3 bites but then it’s impossible to eat.

Extremely sweet cakes, very slow service (cake was sitting out for a while before they brought it) and the person taking our order was dishonest about half slices and then sheepishly tried to cover it up when we asked about it.
