BEWARE OF USING VIOLET CAKE CO FOR YOUR SPECIAL DAY!!!…read more If I can't even trust Violet Cake Co to get my SAMPLE right or to make it right, why should anyone trust this company with a cake for the most important day of their lives? I have plenty of communication back and forth to substantiate how accommodating I have been and how many times they have continued to drop the ball and make up excuses for their service. 1) I first offered to come back and pick up the cake flavors I requested just to find out Violet Cake Co didn't have one of the flavors ready (She did not offer to overnight it to me, she did offer to deliver it to me Tuesday-which I stayed home to accommodate that request) 2) I stayed home FROM MY JOB to wait for a delivery of the missing samples that was promised between 12-2 for Violet Cake Co to first: confirm my address VIA EMAIL at 1pm that I already provided... an interesting choice in method of contact when I have provided my phone number. Only for the cake to never arrive. 3) I was told it would be overnighted to me the next day. (Surprise that didn't happen) 4) Apparently there was not a cold pack ready and was told I would receive it Thursday morning (via FedEx so I'm not sure why the owner is saying her delivery person had it in the car Thursday?) All the screenshots are there for you. 5) Here we are on Thursday, no communication and still no cake sample. I submitted a dispute with my bank on the purchase and was refunded instantly. The saddest part is they DO have delicious cake and I am sure if everything goes right they are probably great to work with. However, the major problem I am seeing is when things go wrong, they don't have the customer service to make it right. If they couldn't follow through with delivering it, WHY OFFER?! I would have just as quickly agreed to a partial refund and redoing the cake tasting the following weekend with their normal pick ups. They just kept offering things they couldn't deliver on. And then attacked me in their comment to this review like a true professional. It speaks for itself. Brides beware

Was in the area and wanted something sweet so we decided to come here. Purchased a slice of "the…read moreEvil one" (coconut cake), one everything brownie, and a raspberry truffle. - The cake was so good. Perfect texture/moisture and not overly sweet. Very comparable to the coconut cake at Susiecakes. If you like that one, you'll like this one as well. - I'm not a brownie fan at all but this one could change my mind. - As for the truffle, I probably wouldn't get it again but that's only because I prefer milk chocolate. Pretty small shop. There were four of us in there; it felt pretty crowded once another customer walked in. The worker was really nice and you could tell she liked her job. Yes, you will have to ask what the truffle flavors of the day are so if you're that averse to talking to people (like that other reviewer) then just stick to the grocery store so you can read a label.

This is a tiny store that might sell out quickly. We got the champagne truffle and the brownie…read more 4 of us tried the brownie. It's a fudge texture and we thought it might have toffee and walnuts inside. A chocolate ganache topped it off. It got mixed reviews. It was described as "more candy than brownie" & very rich. Personally I didn't care for it. It was chewy, deep chocolate but underwhelmed. My cousin and I tried the truffle. The chocolate is a high cacao type that felt a little chalky. Think ghiradelli v a buttery Belgium. Nothing was marked to describe the truffles. I had to ask what was what. No prices were there either. The brownies were $7 each, truffles $6. The truffles were described as "huge".

All Aboard is a new charcuterie and provisions vendor in the Point Loma neighborhood. Its location…read morewas obscure because the suite was in the middle of a small, mixed residential and business complex on Shelter Island Dr. I drove past it the first time as the signage wasn't prominent. Only a few parking spaces were available out front, and they were shared with the neighboring businesses. Some countertop seating and a couple of long tables were set up for inside dining. Upon walking in, it felt like a combination of a cafe, deli, and wine bar. Two charcuterie boards and six Italian style sandwiches made up the food offerings. For beverages, wines by the glass, various beers, and wines/kombucha in a can were available. You can certainly place large orders ahead of time for catering and special events. The ladies who staffed the service counter were very cheerful. The choice for my to-go order was a Spicy Italian Muffuletta. The sandwich consisted of thinly sliced mortadella and Genoa salami, provolone, arugula, and a spread of muffuletta. A drizzle of olive oil and balsamic glaze was added on top along with salt and pepper. Freshly baked piabatta was the bread that was used. The item was neatly assembled and wrapped in wax paper before being sliced in half. The spread was savory while the bread was soft with a crunchy exterior. As a bonus, I was given a complimentary bag of Italian potato chips that were pesto flavored. I was glad to have those to munch on with the sandwich. Overall, I gave a 4.5 star rating for a very positive experience at All Aboard.

Sam, my girl Sam!!! I met Sam the day of my wedding and I couldn't have asked for a better person to be there helping me and my family. Sam was amazing and she just fits into her role perfectly.

My husband never saw me she made sure of it and honestly she just made my day so special and easy.

This place seems like such a great venue, which is why my company chose to have our holiday party…read morehere twice! It's easy to get to, and there's plenty of parking. There are great views no matter where you look. The indoor area is spacious, and the outdoor area is really nice as well. The staff was on top of everything. I would definitely recommend checking this place out for an event space. The things I didn't love were the main dishes they had for catering -- they were a bit bland -- but the sides were really good. The bar was just okay. The beers were super cold and crisp, but the mixed cocktails were "ehh" at best. Our company provided us with two drink tickets, so anything after that you paid out of pocket, though the prices weren't bad. If I remember correctly, mixed drinks were $7. On the way out, parking did become a bit of a headache. It's one of those paid parking systems where the venue provides a ticket for free parking, but people trying to figure out how to use it ended up backing everyone up as we were leavng.

NARRATIVE: On the morning of February 28th, 2026, the wife and I drove about .25 miles from the Point Loma Annex to the Point Lama Cafe. After finding a parking spot, we entered the restaurant and were greeted and seated immediately and told what the breakfast specials were for the day. After looking over the fairly small and limited menu, the wife ordered their Creme Brûlée French toast and I opted for their Bagel and Lox with a side of two, soft scrambled eggs. My wife's meal came with crispy bacon and I believe four pieces of French toast and several slices of fresh fruit. My Lox Bagel came with the usual cream cheese, capers, onions and tomatoes; several slices of fresh fruit and my eggs were cooked soft, just as requested. Overall the food was really good. Hot, fresh and good portions. Both my wife and I finished our entire meals which normally doesn't happen. SCENE: Located at the corner of N. Harbor Dr. and Nimitz Blvd, the Point Loma Cafe shares the same property with the Double Tree Hotel. It's very open and airy and it appears during peak times, it can accommodate over 80 persons. The only issue I can foresee would be parking. Their parking lot is small and has about four stalls. There is parking available at the Double Tree but, I believe its pay for stay. Of course, there's always the street. RECOMMENDATION(S): Very good breakfast spot if you enjoy that mom & pop type place.
