Wow! That's what you'll think after you take a bite of any of their desserts. Their service was amazing, too. We had the most moist vanilla cinnamon coffee cake I've ever had. Very yummy brownie, and a Halloween cookie. Can't wait to try all of their desserts! read more

My wife was craving clam chowder in a sourdough bowl. I got all the ingredients for the chowder, but I needed the bowl. So I asked Mr.Google where I could find a high quality sourdough loaf. Of course I paged down past the paid ads and found Angela's Eccentric Kitchen. The website said they open at 7:00, so after filling up at Costco, I headed over. They're a couple of doors down from Mary's donuts. I walked in and was greeted immediately and asked what I'm looking for. I explained my story and was shown the perfect sourdough loaf for my needs. Now, I'm not personally a fan of sourdough, but when I hollowed out the bowl, I tried some and oh my gosh, it was delicious! I painted the bowl with olive oil cod placed it in a. 350° oven for about 15 minutes to toast. I painted the lid with EVOO and sprinkled with salt, granulated garlic, and dried chives. I mixed the innerds the same way and put all of them in the air fried at 400° for 6 minutes to toast. Once done, I let the bowl cool for a half hour and couldn't stop snacking on the croutons while making the chowder from scratch. Once the chowder was ready, I assembled the meal and gave it to my wife. She devoured it forthwith and said it was better than that served on Fisherman's wharf in San Francisco. Now, if I'd been thinking, I'd have gotten some of their tasty looking sweet treats for desert. But I'll be back. I encourage you to come by for your bread and sweet bakery needs. You won't be disappointed. read more

What a great find and such a sweet and fabulous Owner. Best sour bread I ever had and her sweets are delicious. My rear end won't be happy in my pants, but I don't care....... Can't wait to go back. read more

Amazing! I have been purchasing sourdough for Angela for years and it is amazing! I recently ordered my step daughter's 18th birthday cake from her and it was so good! Everyone at the party kept asking me where I got the cake from! She went above and beyond with the decorations and even included a few non edible roses for my step daughter to keep as keepsakes. Super responsive, fast, and friendly! The shop is cute as well with plenty of sourdough to pick up as well as little baked goods to choose from. This will continue to be our go to bakery! read more

New owners, not the same service. This location has been my go to for year- graduations, retirements, milestone birthdays, etc. Just called today to place an order for my son's birthday, a basic cake with his name on it. No fondant, no printed image, just frosting and script. The party is this weekend and I've always ordered week of, no issue. When I called the woman who answered the phone was very rude and just kept repeating "We only take orders 3 weeks out. We only take orders 3 weeks out. We only take orders 3 weeks out." Literally over and over. I totally understand their policy may have recently changed- but say that to me instead of repeating yourself over and over while I'm trying to speak. Again, I totally understand that policies change but at least acknowledge that it's changed. I've ordered week of many times. A simple, "Oh no! We're totally booked this weekend." or "You know what, our policy has recently changed due to high demand." would've had me coming back in the future. Definitely will not spend my money here again due to the customer service I received. Lots of fantastic bakeries in San Diego! Blessed! read more

Angela's Eccentric Kitchen has my heart, and my taste buds! From her farmers' market days to her Santee storefront, Angela's warm service and amazing sourdough keep me coming back. Her simple, healthy ingredients fit right into my health goals, and honestly, it's the best sourdough I've had, yes, even compared to my Italian grandma's! Supporting Angela's journey is just a no-brainer!! read more

My husband first had a taste of Eccentric International Chefs' cakes during his Best Man's wedding. So he already knew the quality and taste would be amazing. Then we scheduled our cake tasting and the service was great as well. Chef Carl & Melina definitely took care of us from the beginning. They were interested in getting to know us as a couple & our story, not just our wedding cake needs. Communication when we had a venue change was smooth and they delivered everything on time. The guests loved the cakes and we're still enjoying the last of our leftovers. We are so excited to pick up our one year anniversary cake from them! read more

Hurry, quick! I need a bakery! That was me a couple of weeks ago, looking for a bakery close by with good reviews. I found Eccentric International Chefs on Yelp, and I thought to myself, "What sort of name is that?". I mean, I appreciate eccentricity, so I figured I would give the international chefs a try. I visited on a Saturday morning, pretty early at about 7, and I met the owner, Chef Carl. I told him it was my first time there and he pointed out some goodies(pastries and cookies) that he had out for sale. They do a lot of cake here, but they also have some pretty darn good pastries. I knew what I wanted because I`m a Yelp stalker and I know ahead of time what looks good to me. I chose a filled horn, a chocolate éclair, and two of their cake/cream/jam parfaits. The shop is clean, the cakes on display creative and interesting, and I found Chef Carl to be an absolute delight. He is nice to chat with, friendly, and takes pride in his business. I also heard him answer a phone call from his wife and it was adorable. *heart eyes* Pricing is fair for the quality. The horn and éclair were delicious, learning towards the éclair being my favorite of the two. I like that the cream wasn't too sweet. It was all balanced very nicely. NOW, let me tell you about these parfaits. I had never had a cake parfait and I am a convert now from regular parfaits and regular cake. Why have either of those when you can have it all, in a cup, with a lid, to go. I dug in right when I got home because the parfaits looked very enticing. SO good. Moist(I hate that word) cake, delicious not too sweet cream, and the jam(I`m sorry if it is called something else. I am but a humble dessert consumer). I brought my mom one and also ate half of hers and I am NOT sorry. Get yourself to Chef Carl and get a parfait or two. I want to order a cake from here just because. 5/5. I will be back. read more

I stumbled across Angela's sourdough bread and bought a jalapeno cheddar loaf. I cut it up this morning, toasted it and it was probably the best piece of bread I have ever had. Perfect amount of jalapenos and cheese. I will absolutely be back and can't wait to try other flavors! read more

My family and I have been patrons of this bakery for about five years, but after today's experience, I will most likely not be returning. I submitted (what I thought) was a detailed email outlining my cake design request. What I received was a cake with the correct quote and color, but incorrect border. When I pointed this out, I was offered no apology. When I asked if the cake could be redone and how long it would take, I was told, "I don't know." This made it difficult to plan around a same-day birthday party pickup. I requested a discount for the mistake and was reminded that the cake cost $45. As I was advocating for a solution and entertaining the idea of having them redecorate it, I was told another client's cake they were currently working on would need to be refrigerated, which came across as if I were inconveniencing staff for their bakery's mistake. I asked again how long the correction would take and received the same "I don't know." After requesting a discount a second time, I was given $2 off. My concern is not the price or even that the design was incorrect, but the lack of care and professionalism shown when the issue was raised. I hope this business improves its customer service when addressing mistakes moving forward. read more

Absolutely love this bakery! I have gotten my girls birthday cakes here for the last 3 years. They look absolutely gorgeous and taste delicious. The owners respond amazingly to email and are easy to get into contact with when placing orders. They have also been very accommodating when I've waited until last minute to place orders. This last time I went in with both my girls so my hands were full and the person helping me offered and walked me to the car with the cake. Great customer service and delicious treats. Will continue to order here for all my parties. read more

Chef Carl and the team did a great job on the cake for our 50th wedding anniversary. From a faded photo, they were able to re-create our original cake in a smaller version, plus made a sheet cake for ease of serving. The carrot cake (fluffy buttercream frosting with cream cheese filling) was delicious as well as beautiful. When so many professional bakeries have closed, we are lucky to have such talented bakers still going strong in East County. Thanks. read more

Made an absolutely delicious yellow cake with apricot and Bavarian cream filling for the wedding celebration dinner for our son and new daughter-in-law. Everyone LOVED it. In addition they made heart shaped shortbread cookies with apricot filling dusted in powdered sugar. Melt in your mouth delicious. We could not have been more delighted. read more

looks nothing like the picture of the cake i wanted. They didnt put the same picture that i wanted on the cake and the picture didnt fill the whole cake, it was like a weird small rectangle. the cherries that i wanted on the cake didnt even have the stems like in the photo. this is the worst cake I have gotten from eccentrics. read more

We hired this company at the suggestion of Carlton Oaks when we were planning our April 2020 wedding. Covid happened, and this bakery refused to work with me (a woman) to get a refund for the cake as we couldn't even hold the reception per State mandate. They refunded our cost once my husband got on the phone numerous calls/emails later. Flash Forward to 2025 - we are throwing a 5 year party next month. I contacted them letting them know we lost the gift card in a cross country move in May 2020 but would like to receive the cake we already paid for. I provided email backup and other receipts showing that they acknowledged the refund to a card. Since I cannot physically find the long lost card - and they admit they did issue it but can't look up the card to see if it's used... we're out our money. We live in North Carolina now we have NOT used the card and they should be able to see that in their POS system... but they ghosted us. Shady business practices from the moment we dealt with them and just wanted to use our money but they will not make it right. Sad. read more

Carl took my order over the phone, what a nice experience! Carl was super friendly and helpful with suggestions with flavor selections. White cake w/lemon delight + raspberry filling + whipped cream icing. Birthday celebrant was very happy! Would order from Eccentric again! read more

Wonderful bakery that makes delicious cakes with exceptional customer service. Special shout out to Becky!!

Using this business for my wedding was a wonderful experience. Up until I was creating my wedding I wasn't aware of this wonderful bakery. I came in with a picture of what I wanted to the cake tasting appointment and was pleasantly surprised with the various flavors of cakes to taste. When I presented my ideas, Becky drew my ideas and nailed the design. Was a great experience. Also included in my package is the first anniversary cake when that time comes. Thank you Chef Carl and staff read more

Ok. Decent price begets a decent job. Certainly not 4 or 5 star worthy however. Good: service was patient and kind. I was able to email a pic of a cake i wanted and they replicated it. Not so good: the cake itself was ok...but the strawberry/whipped filling was very seriously lacking in the strawberry department which resulted in a very bland cake. There were lazy efforts in the finishing of the fondant and icing- the bow on top was adhered to the cake in a messy way and the icing around the name plate was messed up and could have been fixed but they didnt bother. Also there were some details in the cake I requested that they left off without warning. Cheap cake served the purpose and wasnt bad. read more

Carl and Molina are top notch when it comes to custom cakes and flavors. We did a custom cake for my daughter's 10th birthday. They did a marble cake with a chocolate mousse that did not disappoint. My favorite part of it though was watching my daughter working with Molina to have her dream cake come to life. They are family owned and they are our go to bakery. They are a great husband and wife team. Our family and friends will be checking them out since yesterday they couldn't stop asking who made our cake. Not a piece was left. Thank you Carl and Molina for always taking care of the community you serve. read more

I have ordered cakes from this fantastic bakery multiple times & have never been anything but delighted with antthing they have made. I ordered a variety of 3 cakes for my daughter's wedding some years ago & I received many compliments about all 3, especially the red velvet cake which was gone before we knew it! I've also ordered other wonderful pastries from Eccentric & recommend them highly. The service is always friendly, helpful & they are professional & punctual as well. read more

My friend ordered lemon and red velvet cupcakes from here for her wedding. I got to try both and they were so scrumptious and delectable. I didn't like the whip cream that much though. Even though her wedding cake was small, it was so nicely decorated! There were leaves made with fondant and cute figurines of Wall-E and Eve on top. Too bad I didn't get to try it, because it looked delicious as well. read more

Imagine if you go into a bakery where everything looks, smells, and tastes like it's straight from the Cake Boss but instead of being in a weird Vegas or New York showroom, it's your local Santee bakery and you get perfect local down home customer service with all of the high quality you expect from a fancy crazy expensive bakery at a fraction of the price without sacrificing quality..... NO NEED TO IMAGINE!!! That is exactly what Becky and the team at Eccentric International Chefs provide and even better! They came highly recommended by other bakers in the area for my very special order and now i see why! Their cakes, cookies, and everything else I've tried (don't go near those cakes in a cup unless you're trying to start a new habit, they're too good!!!) have the best flavors and are so affordable, I am so happy I found them for my daughter's custom birthday cake! I was SAVED by the price, DAZZLED by the deliciousness and absolutely AMAZED at the wonderful customer service which was so above and beyond that this would be a 30 minute read if I told the whole story but let's just say, black red velvet rock band cakes aren't in season in February but Becky made it happen for us and I'll never be able to express my gratitude enough! Between her, the team, and a fellow customer, Santee epic legend Chuck who might just be the Saint of Santee, we had an inedible experience and will certainly be back! 10/10 highest recommendation, 5 stars, 100% shout from the rooftops, TRY THIS PLACE FIRST!!! read more

I wouldn't give this place a single star if I could. EXTREMELY dissatisfied. We had our wedding at the Bernardo Heights Country Club and this was the cake vendor that was included with our package. We ordered an all white and beige/ champagne colored cake and the cake was delivered to our venue bright PINK. Our coordinator was unaware of the cake we ordered so we didn't see the cake until the reception and we're so incredibly disappointed we didn't even do a cake cutting because we were embarrassed our cake was pink in our all beige and navy blue wedding. They refunded what we had paid for the delivery (not to mention the cake had melted half way by the time of the reception and our coordinator was told it did not need to go in the fridge), however our small refund was not enough for delivering a COMPLETELY unacceptable cake that ruined part of our wedding. Do not trust this place with your wedding cake. read more
