    Ordered a custom cake and it came out amazing. Placing a order was simple and efficient. My family and friends loved the tres leches cake!

    This is one of my favorite bakeries in Vista. The ownerIs really accommodating to any special orders that you may have. He makes the best pan dulce that I have ever tasted. The best part about the owner is that he gives back to the community which is very important. The bakery is a family owned business. He can make any special orders from cakes, cookies, cake tops and bread. I strongly recommend it. The bakery is a must tray for anyone living in Vista.

    Our family has gotten delicious baked goods here many times. They are especially accommodating for special event orders, including this adorable, moist and yummy cake they made for my daughter's birthday. We stopped in on Friday night and it was ready early Saturday morning! The people who own the bakery and work there are always friendly and helpful, highly recommend!

    So delicious

    My all time fave are the empanadas de piña, with the perfect amount of piña filling while still being soft and moist.

The Birria itself was very tender, flavorful and moist. The churros of course were very good and fresh considering they fry it to order in a purpose made churro machine. I have to give a big shout out to the worker I had when I was there who I'm assuming was the owner. He made sure that everything was tasting good and that I was satisfied with everything.

I love churros, and they make theirs fresh while you wait, which makes it so much better then getting a churro that's been sitting under a heater and drying out. They have several varieties of churros and different ways that you can order them. They also serve soft serve vanilla ice cream. We got the vanilla soft serve along with the bag of churros, which contains three of them. They came out piping hot and fresh, covered and that delicious cinnamon sugar. They were excellent and paired with the ice cream, it was a nice treat. The ice cream had a good texture but did taste a bit artificial, but i definitely still enjoyed it. Bottom line, of you look he churros this is your spot. They also serve food, which we unfortunately didn't get to try on this visit. They do have a small parking lot in the back and also some tables outside to sit on.

Yeah, it's old, food is "ok' (3-stars but it's preliminary an ice cream place), it's a bit 'ghetto' and you need to pay attention as to when your order is ready (they won't call names, only orders) but it's Vista's institution! Serving perfect old fashioned soft serves, shakes and a variety of very affordable frozen treats (4 stars). Kids love this place. There is always a line and a bit of a wait. Service is mediocre at best. But... 5 stars because that's the local businesses we need and can't let go away: Vista greedy city hall is about to let it be demolished to build condos... Huge plus for: burger with special sauce, fresh fries, soft serves and banana splits!!!

Cinnamon roll - best Ive had out of all the ones I've had in CA and AZ. They do not cut corners and even use brown butter for their cinnamon sugar filling! Cruffins - fun to look at and fun to eat; can't go wrong with any of them! Cookies - white chocolate macadamia nut, chocolate chip, gluten-less chocolate cookies ... now these are cookies!

    Came on a Saturday noon, and it was not too busy. All the pastries were laid out for you to see and…read morethey all looked super yummy. The store is small and there's no seating. The pastries are definitely on the higher-priced side and we weren't too hungry, so we opted for the strawberry croissant since it was the last one left. I was hoping to try their cinnamon roll, as it looked amazing and had a selection of flavors to pick from. The lady who helped us was friendly and packed the croissant for me, and we took it to go. The strawberry croissant had some vanilla cream along with strawberry slices in the center cut of the croissant. The cream was nice, light, and not overly sweet, which tasted great with the strawberry. The croissant was a little disappointing, as it wasn't flaky, very dense, and on the softer side. It still had a good buttery flavor but overall it was mid. As we continued eating, I ended up chewing on something plasticky, and I believe it might have been the front cut of a plastic piping bag. I'm glad it was a fairly small piece or else I probably would have swallowed it...It is disappointing that a big piece of plastic ended up in the cream where no one had caught it during the process of making it.

We thought we'd try Little Cakes Kitchen, so we ordered the half-dozen box of assorted cupcakes. They were delivered through DoorDash. We knew we were not able to pick our flavors by ordering this way, but figured Little Cakes would send a representative sample, which I assume they did. I'm not sure which flavors were in our box because they weren't labeled. I wanted to know what we were eating, but I had to dig through many past reviews to identify most of them. The 6 flavors received in the 1/2-dozen box were: * Vanilla * Chocolate * Almond Champagne * German Chocolate * Something Marshmallow-Topped * Something Chocolate--Topped with Thin Vanilla Icing and Vanilla Buttercream All the cupcakes were of average size and were decorated nicely enough. Albeit the cake part on all the cakes were a bit dry. It was difficult to discern a specific flavor on a few, so I've come to the conclusion that garnishing must be their gift. Most of the 'vanilla' flavors, were indistinguishable in flavor from one another, except for the Almond Champagne, which had a cloying almond paste filling, and too much filling to cake ratio. Of particular concern was that the frosting on all seemed to be off in ratios of butter to shortening. I suspect there was an over abundance of shortening in all the cupcakes, which to me, is not palatable, nor is it delicious or anything resembling what a good cupcake should be. They miss the mark in my opinion. Due to the high prices and the fact that the frosting on all the cupcakes was cloying and poorly prepared with what I suspect was too much shortening, and not enough icing sugar, I would likely not buy cupcakes from Little Cakes Kitchen again.

    This is a long overdue review for Water Shack. I stumbled upon this place a few years ago when I…read morewas craving a no frills mom & pop style burger. To my surprise Water Shack's burgers were delicious and satisfying that I find myself coming back here ever so often. Their burgers aren't the heavy, greasy/high fat patties you would get from other places. However, their 1/4 lb patties are their smallest patties and heft makes for that ideal bun to burger ratio. Did I need to order double patties on most of my burger orders? Probably not. Their patties are on the leaner side but they aren't dry; and the fixings from any burger you choose will satisfy that meaty burger fix you're looking for. The Chicken Patty Melt is also a very tasty item. Very cheesy, buttery and crispy toasted bread with chicken breast. Their fries and onion rings also come air-fried so this place focuses more on the healthier comfort food options that wont leave you feeling heavy and drowsy. This place is also doubled as a purified water dispensary and also serves baked goods and ice cream. Love this type of no-frills, unassuming place with very friendly staff and serves up some delicious food!

If you need a quick, casual meal, and are out and about in the area, definitely check this spot out! Locals describe it as a hidden gem.
