The difference between the Biscoff and the original seems to be the Nilla wafer vs Biscoff wafer inside the pudding. I came at opening and there is a little bench and table inside, but most/all people buy and bring home. I came back later in the day to buy some for my friends and they liked it too. I would like to try other flavors like the red velvet if I'm in the area again.

Some other good pastries are the conchas (I'm not a big fan of conchas but these ones are ) They don't have a store front anymore, but you can order online on their site, if you order before noon, you can pick them up next day

Until then, this is the best thing to happen to the San Diego Vegan scene since...ever! and (2) the lines are too looooong. I get there when it opens and there are zero lines.

It's the kind of…read moreplace I bring out-of-town family members, arrange celebrations, or meet a friend for a once-a-year tea. It's not somewhere I go every day, but I love it as a special-occasion spot. The tea room itself is a lovely, feminine space full of antiques, and their mismatched china is charming. Their tea menu is extensive, high-quality, and always changing. The Afternoon Tea is delicious and surprisingly filling. Each item on the three-tiered tray -- the little crème brûlées, savory scones, finger foods -- is tiny, but there are so many of them that it adds up to a lot of food. I've never managed to finish it. They offer two seatings a day, and the Afternoon Tea is the only one you can reserve. They also have a Cream Tea, smaller and less elaborate but just as tasty, available on a space-available basis. They don't have a kitchen certified for gluten-free, dairy-free, or vegan preparation, but I know from experience that if you call ahead, they'll do their best to accommodate special diets. They also host special holiday events -- a Mother's Day tea, and a season of holiday teas from late November through just after the new year. My one wish: I'd love the ability to reserve something smaller than the Afternoon Tea -- maybe a limited number of Cream Tea reservations, or a new "Parlour Tea" or "Petite Tea" option. Right now the only thing reservable is the big, elaborate option, and I'd love to be able to schedule a smaller treat for myself once in a while. I'm thinking of something I could reserve ahead -- so I could plan a day around it -- but that's smaller and less elaborate than the full Afternoon Tea. Five stars, and a favorite place for celebrating something special.

They ran out of large tea pots so took ours and replaced them with small. They didn't come by to refill them, and as we were a large party of 12... Not all the food seemed that "fresh" and was very scone/incredibly sweet heavy. Maybe I've been to tea in England too many times, but they even sweetened the clotted cream. The sandwiches were lackluster at best. Our reservation was from 11-1:30? As soon as 1 pm hit they were packing up our things. OK. That's fine. But why are other tables allowed to stay longer? Our main waitress was very nice and even helped take photos of our group. Overall: come for the vibes amd the tea.

I have order cupcakes for all my parties from Amane Dessert and have never been disappointed. Amane Desserts is a great way to go if you want a fun creative and also delicious desserts you do not need to look anymore because this beautiful lady will make you something wonderful. Everything she makes that I put in my mouth is delicious. I can't say enough how much I have enjoyed Amane Desserts. Also the desserts are all vegan and I am not vegan. So if your looking to get your non-vegan friends to try some vegan food this is the place for you. Order today because it is totally worth it. read more

We ordered a chocolate birthday cake for our baby's special day, and it couldn't have been more perfect! The cake looked exactly like the picture I sent Anna! We loved the attention to detail. But the real magic was in the taste! It was incredibly moist, rich, and full of flavor. Anna was friendly and helpful, and answered all the questions with patience, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. Anna, thank you for making our baby's birthday extra special with a cake that looked amazing and tasted even better. Can't wait to order from you again in the future! read more
