San Diego Desserts

Their schedule is not accurate, i gone there twice when it suppose to be open, but is not. Food is ok, for the price should be better. Costumer service is good.

Ordered a triple chocolate mousse, which was beautiful in appearance, but ordinary in taste. The ambience of the actual place was nice and ‘romantic.’

5 years later and we are back to see if Mark can help us create our beautiful wedding cake again!

I didn’t know this was so close to the church I am a part of or else I would have been in sooner! I walked in and was looking for five desserts, was immediately greeted and assisted. The two guys in there (the night of May 24^th) were so friendly, complimentary and helpful. The desserts were also fantastic! I got a few but the peanut butter bomb was what I imagine a Reese’s will taste like in heaven! It tasted rich, fresh and homemade. By far the best dessert place in East County! It’s smaller so it doesn’t have as many options as extraordinary but I honestly prefer it over extraordinary since it’s not overpriced and is a quiet and relaxed atmosphere! Perfect for a date night (unless you don’t date like me, then go buy five desserts for your friends) :)

My boyfriend and I were looking for a place to get some dessert to satisfy my sweet-​tooth. We stumbled onto this place and ordered the pistachio cake and peanut butter bomb to go. While we waited we sat at the bar and decided to get a bite to go and a coffee to share. The bartender was so nice and gave us the coffee on the house. We ordered the «pepperoni flatbread» which is just pizza, and the truffle fries. I wasn’t expecting much out of a pizza but I was disappointed. It was obviously a frozen pizza and not a good one. It shouldn’t even be on the menu because it takes away from an otherwise good place, which is why I only gave 4 stars. The truffle fries were amazing though and we also loved both desserts that we got. I’d definitely be back and would just avoid the pizza next time.

I picked up a pistachio cake and banana tear drop. I was hoping for a bigger selection.
Pistachio cake– lacking pistachio flavor and way too much sugar in the frosting. So much sugar its like sand instead of frosting. It was a miss I’d rate it 4 out of 10.
Banana td — chocolate cake layer was moist and delicious. Chocolate mousse layer was pretty sugary but it wasn’t as bad as pistachio’s cream. The banana mousse layer was AMAZING. I’d rate an 8 or 9.
The live music was surprisingly good and the service seemed nice. I’m coming back here for wine sometime.

low key, love the menu! Love the Live jazz

This place looks very fancy and they share their space with bistro sixty. I thought they would have more choices for desserts, so I was disappointed to see their limited selection. We shared the red velvet and two bombs– one caramel and one peanut butter. The cream cheese for the red velvet was way too sweet. The pb bomb was very rich, and my favorite was the caramel one. It was very rich and creamy, but I still wasn’t too impressed with this dessert. It was missing something…

Came to San Diego Desserts with a week to get a custom borthday cake done. Mark (owner & baker) and Ray helped me decide on the kind of cake/​design. They recommended the «classic fudge» which is AMAZING. SO SO SO AMAZING. I dont even care for chocolate cake and it was PHENOMENAL.
The design was flawless. Literally the most beautifully detailed cake exactly how I wanted it.
5 stars from me.
One tip: calling or going in is the best way to communicate your designs/​needs. I saw posts about emails having late responses. If its an important occasion, pick up the phone or go in. Why wait on an email. These people are busy making amazing desserts and can’t just be sitting behind a computer all day! *rolls eyes*

I am not the biggest fan of wine bistros. But San Diego deserts has won me over! My friend and I came here one night for desert after phở. What was supposed to be a 30 minute desert session turned into a 3 hour second dinner!!!
Our bartender was super awesome and recommended good wine. One of the managers later dared us to try some complimentary fried anchovies. Everyone was laughing, cheering and talking, having a good time. The staff here will make any first timers feel like a regular from the moment they set foot into this establishment.
I Ordered a chocolate bomb and my female friend ordered a chocolate mousse, with a strong orange taste. We got so hungry two hours into our extravaganza, that we ordered a pizza also!
Definitely visit SDD if you want a good time, and if your in need of some good chocolate deserts and wine.

What I look for in a dessert place: tasty desserts that I cannot or am too lazy to make by myself. This fits the bill.
The desserts store is actually inside a wine bar (which I think is just called Wine Bar? That’s the only signage I saw) in a questionable area of town, surrounded by Pawn Shops and smoke shops. It’s a little sketchy. My husband wanted to keep on driving by.
Parking’s hard around here, too, but we found a spot on a residential side street (note: no sidewalks on the residential side streets on this side).
We went in and said we only wanted dessert. Server told us to look at the case and tell her what we wanted, and she’d bring it to the table (which we’d choose; this was Thursday night).
There are two seating areas. The indoor part has a bar and a couple of bar-​height tables seating six. The outside is a covered patio, with plastic clear windows and heaters, so it was comfortable. A man played 60s folks songs on a guitar on the patio, which made talking a little hard.
Desserts: Chocolate peanut butter bomb tastes like the fudge I had when I was little. It’s covered in gold flecks. There’s a chocolate hardened coating (not too hard) then the fudgy stuff, then a thin layer of raspberry, then cake. Mostly the fudge. Really enjoyed it.
We also got a tiramisu. It tasted to me like it had bananas in it. It wasn’t my favorite, but my husband preferred it over the chocolate bomb ’cause he’s a weirdo.
They also had a couple of other chocolate choices, custardy choices, tarts, etc.

It’s good to have a dessert place in this area.
I’ve found some of their desserts are much better than others. Their caramel bombe was OK. My husband had the peanut butter bombe, and it’s was pretty darn good.
Then I tried their pistachio cake, and it was EXCELLENT. I’d definitely be back for that alone.
Definitely give them a try! It’s a nice establishment, and you can tell they care about their business. I think they’ll only continue to improve, and keep putting out great desserts.
I’m looking forward to trying more! =)

I’m so glad i found this place on Unilocal!
after having had a disappointing streak with Unilocal showing me to the wrong places… I was finally able to find a great place SO CLOSE to my house for AMAZING DESSERTS!
I came in hoping to buy some german chocolate cake for my friend’s birthday but unfortunately they didn’t have any…
However, I went to the next best choice and bought the chocolate peanut butter bombe & a banana chocolate thing… Holy heavens these desserts were amazing. The girl that helped me out was extremely nice and gave me her opinions as well which really helped me make my decisions.
love love love & will be back for your german chocolate cake when you get it in !

What a bummer of a business. The only reason this place gets an extra star is because I genuinely like their baked goods. So much so, that my fiancé and I decided that we wanted to provide our wedding guests with Black & White cookies from San Diego Desserts.
They easily had our business. We already decided that whatever the cost, we had it within our budget to feature the cookies with dessert at our wedding.
FIrst, I emailed the bakery from the email on their website. When they didn’t respond, I emailed them again. When they didn’t respond again my fiancé and I went out of our way to stop by the bakery one day. While there we were introduced to the owner, Mark. He chatted for a few minutes and he provided us with his personal email on a business card. I was excited, we were back on track, now we can get these cookies ordered and start to discuss wedding cake options… WRONG! I emailed Mark, and never heard from him…
It has been about 2 months now since I first attempted to contact the bakery. You know, I could call the business at this point or go in again and see if I could make some solid plans for the wedding, but I’ve already put too much effort when I shouldn’t have to. Why would I contact a business that is so flaky to provide services for such an important day as my wedding day?
They have lost my business. I will forget that I ever liked the Black & White cookies from this place.

Came here to pick up some desserts only.
It was pretty empty when I breezed in round 10:30 am. I found the desserts to look very pretty and not be too spendy but I was hoping for more of an assortment. I am sure there are more on the menu or what have you but I was just picking up some stuff to surprise some workers in need of a treat.
Everything that I got (various chocolate bombs and baklava rolls) were enjoyed. I had a little taste of a bomb and it was decadent.
I would say if you want to get a dessert and are in the area by all means check this place out. I just wouldn’t go overly crazy and beg you to check it out. Who knows, maybe I haven’t found my special rave dessert here. I will update if I do. I will say some more to go desserts would be nice…

To get a good feel of where this review is coming from, here is necessary background information:
I was super sad because Alforon was closed (I have mentioned this in multiple reviews. I can’t get over it), so we ate hella sushi instead, then even though we were pretty full, we parked next to San Diego Desserts so we had to go in. I think that’s how it works, right? Park next to dessert place, go there? Makes sense to me.
Anyways, we were the annoying people who go in 15 minutes before it closes so we didn’t sit down or anything. I was a litttllleee put off by how the worker mumbled to her coworker, «They’re getting it to go, right?» I mean, okay, totally understandable but at least wait til we can’t hear it –_​_​_​_​– minus one star.
We got a couple desserts from the display thing, the chocolate bomb and the tiramisu. When we got home, we opened them up and MYGOODNESS the chocolate bomb is so good and SUPER RICH. Like really rich. The raspberry filling inside is soooogoooodddddd ohmahgahhhh. The tiramisu is fine, nothing to go nuts over. It’s all about the chocolate bomb, yo.
The place itself is cute, the desserts are good, prices are what I would expect. Butttttt I don’t see myself coming back even if I am in the area, though I wouldn’t be upset if I did!

I was introduced to this wonderful location by a coworker and I’ve eaten here quite a few times. The location feels very classy, with both inside and outdoor seating. The wait staff has been attentive and friendly each time I’ve come to eat. The owner is also quite friendly and often there which I really appreciate.
I was lucky enough to get the meatloaf sandwich the last time I went. It’s served open face which I like. The meatloaf was flavorful, with a slight pan-​fried crispness on the outside (in a good way). It was wrapped in bacon (score!) placed on a piece of fresh toasted bread and covered in marinara sauce. I may have teared up after the first bite, but it sent me into another level of food bliss. Amazing!
I didn’t even get to try any of the wines on their extensive list or the desserts that taunted me when I first came in.
Parking can be tough but well worth the trip. They also have live music at night sometimes, which is great.
This is definitely a must try place on your food journey that is San Diego!

I bought two Groupons for here back in 2010 and although this bakery is so far from where I lived at the time (I was close to UCSD and San Diego Desserts is close to SDSU), I was impressed by all the sweets I bought (which unfortunately I can’t remember what they were since those were my pre-​Elite days so nothing was really documented). Later that summer, my friend had her wedding cake done by them (a raspberry chocolate of some sorts) and that too, was really yummy.
This is probably the least helpful review I have ever written since I can’t distinctly remember *what* I had here that was good. But I do know that it was good.

I had a couple of individual tasty desserts from this place. The first was the Monte Bianco Cake which was very good. (
) I also tried the Pistachio Cake (
) and was very good as well. They were a little pricey at $ 4.95 each, but they did taste very good. Paying $ 5 dollars for a small little dessert is definitely a personal decision.
They also have a very nice breakfast, lunch, dinner, and happy hour menu. The menu is not extensive but intriguing. I look forward to trying a few things in the future. They also in the middle of extending the place for the bistro which I hear is having success.
Great desserts…

I came here because I needed to buy a pie. I checked the website and settled on their banana cream pie. I called them to place one on hold for me so I could pick it up just because I didn’t want to come by and they not have the pie I wanted.
I came in the afternoon to pick up my pie and there were no problems. The place is really cute and the desserts in the displays look really really good that I know I have to come back and try some of them. I noticed that they have a good sized wine list and have a happy hour from 4 — 7 PM.
Anyhow, got home and tried my banana cream pie and it was SO good. The banana cream was not too sweet and the whipped cream wasn’t too overpowering. The crust was so tasty and this pie is definitely better than what you’d find at other places. However, $ 15 for a pie is a bit much but this spot is close to where I live so convenience won rather than value.
All in all, pie good, place is cute, just pricey.
