Not the biggest fan of this place. Just not it for me. My idea of a bakery deviates from their idea…read moreof pastries I guess. I'm just not used to individually packaged pastries. Regardless of the presentation, I was not a big fan of the taste. There's nothing that really stand out to me. Not even the drinks, they can either be really bland, milky, or sweet. I mean, to each their own right? I decide to follow up with a second visit for a birthday cake to see if the cake would change my mind. Although was still disappointed. I guess this place was just not meant for me. I will say this place is really nice and aesthetic. Visually pretty and clean, I'll give them that. As well as their customer service, they have a couple of staff that are really nice and welcoming. I appreciate the help I received on the two visits I took here.

Thank you for the last 18 years....your breakfast/lunch menu was always made with freshness and love. Your pastries are next level, what more can I say...and the staff were always so amazing!

Five stars all the way! We have found our new favorite breakfast place in Oceanside. We picked up a…read morelarge order to go which took ~15 to 20 minutes on a weekday around 8 AM. One of the best items is the Chicken and Waffles Benedict ($19). It worked extremely well together with the sweetness of the Belgian waffle and the savory notes of the chicken. It included small containers of maple syrup. The hashbrowns were the best! They really killed it with the super crispy outside. Loved it! However, DH liked the Savory Crêpe ($15) even more! This one just had such a great flavor combination: the little bits of chicken, mushrooms, and classic Provence seasoning. The avocado toast ($8.50) with an over-easy egg ($3) was amazing. It features a multigrain bread and just had some great toasty flavors and topped with a little bit of micro greens. Everything worked so well together. The ham and cheese croissant sandwich ($9.25) is a rectangular shaped one. There is an omelette "patty", tomato, and bacon on the inside. This one was also surprisingly good, even when deconstructed and reheated the next day. The kids really enjoyed sharing a sweet crêpe ($14) with four toppings: strawberry, banana, chocolate, and real whipped cream. We tried a cappuccino ($5.25) and a soy latte ($5.25 + $1 for milk substitution). They were really good, not bitter, but I wish it was a little bit more concentrated. Maybe I'll try oatmilk next time. All of the pastries were amazing. We got a bunch to share and enjoy throughout our vacation. We tried two scones ($3.85 each), blueberry and raspberry pecan. The scones were nicely crunchy on the outside, yet soft and tender on the inside. Wow! We froze these for eating the next day and slowly thawed them in the oven and they were still wonderful. The brown butter chocolate chip cookie ($2.95) had a rich buttery taste. The texture is right in the middle and it's pretty large. Holiday Christmas tree cookie ($4.50) is a delicious buttery sugar cookie with a multitude of sprinkles. This one is not very big, but you can tell it required a lot of work to make it. Get more than one! The Chocolatine ($4.75) was a favorite. So flaky and it has a good amount of chocolate in the middle. Cheese Danish ($4.75) and All Day Bun ($3.75) are saved for later so we haven't tried them yet. Overall, an amazing place for a high-quality breakfast. We will be back!

Was in town and was my cousins were looking for some good coffee, Yelp sent us this way!…read more This bakery has a wide selection of pastries and desserts. There are also a variety of coffees and specials to choose from! My cousins got the biscoff iced latte and the cinnamon roll latte. My cousins doesn't usually like sweet drinks so he asked for his coffee half sweet. Now, I like my lattes sweet and creamy, and still liked his drink as well. I would definitely be back to get their biscoff latte, regular sweet (just hope it's still on the menu). Plenty of parking in the plaza. The bakery/restaurant was full and a line was forming when we got there on a Sunday morning around 10:30am. One of the female cashier who took my male cousin's order could have been a little more friendly compared to the male cashier who helped my other cousin. She didn't give him a number nor did she explain to him how he would get his drink (didn't ask for his name either). The other cashier got my cousin's name AND gave him a number. Needless to say, both drinks were received at the end. I will be back to try their desserts/pasties next time we're in town.

Decided to cruise by this place this morning on our way to get some sandbags…read more These doughnuts are exceptional - artisanal and gourmet. Good variety of flavors/combos - they all looked delicious. What makes these doughnuts special (IMHO) is that they have a light crust that adds texture while inside is not dense or "cakey". We tried the mini-doughnuts, the Strawberry Shortcake and their signature French Toast. Soooo tasty - and I am not a donut guy, for the record. The service was fast and the gent behind the counter was pleasant enough. Small seating area right outside (I don't think I recall seeing seating inside because I was MAD focused on the doughnuts lol) and the interior decor felt warm and inviting. I was really impressed with these doughnuts and would DEF eat them again. Super HQ offerings here. One of the better donuts I've tried (on par with some of the better places I've been to in LA and NYC).

Each doughnut is shareable unless you have different cravings or flavor palates than whoever you're there with. Definitely a pit stop as you walk around the area.

I am a big fan of black market bakery having been a frequent visitor to their Costa Mesa location…read morewhile working up there for a few weeks not long ago. When I saw there was a black market in Oceanside, I had to stop in. The bakery has a beautiful outdoor and indoor seating areas. The selection was minimal when I got there mid morning, seems to be a busy little bakery. I will have to come back to try their sandwiches, but we took home a few pastries from the case. The strawberry lemon and peanut butter rolls were a bit too sweet to my liking, I think for me personally, as there was quite a bit of icing on the rolls. The cheesecake and s'mores bar were more balanced for my palette, with the s'mores bar being my overall favorite. Again, will have to come back again to try their savory options and maybe different set of pastries.

I have had amazing cake shops in Los Angeles (sweet lady Jane, Porto's, even the tom cruise cake) but this place makes the most amazing, consistently delicious cakes. I dream about the moment there's another event that needs a cake so I can bring some from Crimson cake. I love their cakes so much I ordered a full cake tasting so I can try different flavors. My top favorites: 1. Chocolate with chocolate mousse (it's insanely perfect and great for freezing small pieces and bringing it out to nibble. Also equally love chocolate with fresh strawberries but just doesn't last as long in the fridge. 2. Black Forest cake - decadent chocolate with fresh raspberries that cut the chocolate decadence with the perfect balance 3. Pineapple and coconut- anyone who loves this combo will LOVE this cake. My husband's favorite. 4. Red velvet - not overly sweet exactly how I love it. The other favors I've tried that were decent were carrot cake, pistachio raspberry, almond raspberry. Pistachio flavor is super subtle. Carrot cake was not as moist as other carrot cakes I've had and almond raspberry couldn't taste much almond. Service is great and always good communication. They even made sure to load my car with items I've over based over the past year. Location is in a business park area so never had an issue finding parking. Crimson Cake will be my forever cake shop. GOODBYE SUSIECAKES. A local baker is San Diego's hero!

I finally decided to head out to north county to try these since I do follow this business social…read moremedia and I was not disappointed at all!! Things bought: Raspados (1 fresas cremosas and 1 strawberry), elotes puercos, equites, and some pan). Food: Raspados flavors were really good and not watered down at all. What I liked about these raspados was that the ice doesn't melt fast and nice ice texture unlike other spots I've tried in SD county. The esquite has been one of the best I've ever found here in SD county (I've tried so many trying to find the right one since moving here 9 yrs ago!). Fresh corn, perfect amount of cheese with great taste, and just delicious. Elotes puercos had this sauce that I wish it was offered in the esquites as a flavor. PLEASE NEVER CHANGE THE RECIPE of this sauce!!! I tried 3 different types of pan (cochinito, oreja, and this white yellowish ball). The cochinito had a strong after taste that I didn't enjoy. Oreja was ok and I actually did eat, would of liked more of the glaze on it. The white yellow ball had no flavor at all (I'm assuming it was butter with sugar but still no flavor) but the bread itself was tasteless as well. Ambiance: Pretty clean and organized, bright pretty color tones. Customer service: Was greeted as soon as entering and every employee was very attentive and with a friendly attitude. Great job to all of you! I will definitely come visit again, I don't care that your location is about 1hr away, THIS SPOT IS WORTH IT. Please open one down south area in SD County.

I'm a huge fan of the Italian minimalist approach to sandwiches: every ingredient's a shining star, especially the bread. truthly, I'm also a huge fan of the American-style where the filling's supersized and point of the bread's to keep your mits clean. Dolce Aroma's definitely on the less-is-more end of that sammie spectrum. they succeed spectacularly. the wife-unit had the POSILLIPO (prosciutto, fresh mozzarella, arugula, and olive oil on a warm baguette). I had the VESUVIO (prosciutto, fresh mozzarella, Italian cream, fig jam, and arugula on a warm baguette). the bread was perfect with a dense chew. love the sweetness of the cream and fig jam, nice counterpoints to the salty prosciutto and the peppery arugula. thoroughly enjoyed my sandwich. my only gripe is with the price point, an issue I almost never raise. nearly twenty bucks is a lot to spend for a sandwich. the ratio of what you pay for to what you get here's a bit steep. I'm mostly okay with that but be aware.

Next time I went I tried the vanilla cronut, and it was equally good. The vanilla icing was perfect and just the right thickness, and the consistency and texture of the cronut itself was just perfect. I think this place is by far the best place for pastries I've found in San Diego County - and I've only gone twice. I can't wait to try all the other items I've seen in the pastry case.
