This small bakery is clean, welcoming, and you can tell a lot of care goes into both the product and the service.

I highly recommend giving this bakery a try!

Go to the website and choose they said. Hurry up they said. Decided on a cake. That'll be $90 they said. Fine, I said. Picked it up and it must've weighed at least 8 pounds. Not kidding either. After cutting into it I saw why. There was so much frosting and filling with three layers of cake. It was so heavy in fact that it couldn't even support its own weight. The four huge straws they used to keep it from falling apart were sticking out the top but they couldn't stop it from leaning to one side. For the cost, it's not worth it at all. Get a cake at Vons instead.

I want to give Gi & Jo Cakes 5 stars so badly, as I am a repeat customer that has ordered with…read moreBerenice multiple times for work events and for my birthday cake. Those have come out looking and tasting outstanding. However, the reason I am giving a 3 star today is because of my wedding cake experience - which I would deem as the MOST important cake of my life. I did not get the same level of quality nor service that I normally get from her. I know this was a time when she was getting more demand than she was able to keep up with and losing orders and what not. That being said I was very communicative in what I wanted (sent a picture), and when I wanted it by, including the delivery location and time, and she confirmed everything on multiple occasions. Because of past orders, I trusted her 100% to deliver a wonderful product as she always has. Well, when I finally got to see my wedding cake on the day of my wedding, the first thing I noticed was a large bubble on the top layer - sure, this could have happened after delivery, but it was unsightly. This, I could and did get past. The second thing I noticed was the writing N & G looked so ... well not artistic. It was by hand, but did not look very sophisticated or elegant at all, I honestly would have preferred no initials or initials in non-cursive to what we got. I was very disappointed as it looked like it was added in haste, or a young child drew it. The middle layer was a little more gaudy gold that I hoped rather than the champagne gold color in the picture, but I was okay with it. And the last thing I noticed was the color of the top layer. PINK! The picture of the cake I sent was WHITE!!! Why was it Pink? Shocking! So, I tried to forget about the cake and keep enjoying my wedding day, and the cake did taste great. And to her credit, the bottom layer was absolutely gorgeous! So for the wrong color and the bad monogram, I am deducting a star. The other star comes from customer service. I did reach out to her to let her know about the bubble (she mentioned it wasn't there when it was delivered, so that's fine), and the cake color. For the complaint about color, I basically got an "oops" with absolutely no sincere apology nor suggestion for correction. Not even credits towards a future cake. It was this, that has now completely turned me off to ordering with her again. If for my wedding cake, all I got was an "oops", then I feel she did not care about me as a repeat customer whatsoever. This, I could not get past. Bummer, really. Very disappointing.

The guy behind the counter was nice, informative, and (most importantly) very honest about what we were getting. As my wife and I looked at their selection, we were angling towards the 12 mini-cupcake sampler and were told that it was about $32. With single, larger cupcakes running around $4-$6, it was overall a bit steep, but we figured we might be in for something extra special. So, we swallowed the cost and bought three mini Blood Orange, three Red Velvet, three Chocolate, and three Classic Vanilla cupcakes. Overall, the cupcakes are pretty basic. They're cooked well, they're visually well crafted, and the frosting is light and sweet enough on the tongue. Flavorwise, the vanilla cupcakes were pretty forgettable. Both the Blood Orange and Red Velvet options were overwhelmed by some bit of fruit jelly dolloped on top that muted what could have been a tasty cupcake. And the Chocolate ones ... those were damn delicious! Very rich, sweet, a deep chocolate flavor, an excellent cupcake all the way through. I honestly think that if we had decided on the regular sized cupcakes, we would have thought more of BabyCakes. The cost versus what you get aside, the small size of the mini-cupcakes made it very easy for a single ingredient to overwhelm the entirety of the dessert. And I honestly only can remember the chewy texture and sweet and sour flavor of that berry jam instead of any moist richness of the Red Velvet or the tart citrus I was hoping for in the Blood Orange cupcake. As it is, I'm sure I'd come back if I were in the area, but I wouldn't go out of my way to Imperial Beach just for visit here.

The blood orange, lemon Bavarian, and marble bianca were the top 3. All were yummy in their own way. Least favorite was the classic wedding cake because the others were all so unique and flavorful.

I had…read morea huuuuuge boba craving (as usual) while we were down here and I saw a kid walking around with one! We hunted for it and came across this little kiosk. No line at all, pretty early in the afternoon on a warm, and nice day overall. Surprising to see that it wasn't busier. I went for my usual, Thai tea with boba, just a small size since I was a bit hesitant on it. I should've honestly trusted my gut and went for an iced latte boba instead. The only reason I didn't was because I already had my cold brew coffee in the morning/for the day and didn't want to overdo it. I also should've asked if they brew it fresh.... I should know better by now and here I was, extremely disappointed. My poor drink was not good. I wish I could've finished it but I was struggling. They had reeeeally good chewy boba but the drink itself was nasty. They use powdered Thai tea which is not the way to go, ever. It's missing that strong, Thai tea flavor and honestly just tastes like a weird birthday cake flavor. I was extremely bummed but we plan on visiting again in the near future and will definitely update my review then. I'm sure their coffee drinks are better and I hear they're known for their egg tarts. IG: @ammysalamii

This is my first in San Diego and it tastes just as good. Portuguese egg tart crusts are made out of puff pastries while Chinese egg tarts are made out of shortcrust casing like a cheesecake crust. The puff pastries makes it flaky and less doughy. The custard is also less eggy and more creamy in the Portuguese version. I also got the Macau Dolgona coffee no boba with half and half. So good! Must try. You have to really stir to mix it all. This kiosk stand is literally between Gap and Banana Republic, more so towards Gap. Make sure to eat it when it's warm and it takes like 3 bites.
