    If you have not been here you must change that! They have wonderful cakes and other goodies to choose from. They also serve wine. A colleague of mine ordered a cake for me and had it delivered and it was sooo good. But for the life of me I cannot remember the name of the cake but I attached pictures here. They have very delicious and beautiful cakes to choose from. So if you're looking for a special cake I highly recommend Extraordinary Desserts.

    Blood orange ricotta

    Cakes are caking! Friend had the Gianduia and I had the Blood Orange Ricotta cake slices. Rich, decadent, and worth the calories. Don't worry, we walked here so we'll burn some off on the walk back to the house. Beautiful presentation, sauces were just wow. Get you some cake.

    Sugar bun

    The sugar bun was delicious! I might be a bigger fan of their pastries than their cake. The Shrang-la cake was decorated so beautifully! I loved the white chocolate shavings all around. Unfortunately the cake didn't hold well in my commute to Temecula (esp during the heat wave). The dairy ended up hurting our stomachs.

    Beautiful desserts. Dropped on for breakfast on a Sunday. It was not busy at all. They have beautiful desserts in the display window. They're $12+ we were looking for breakfast foods and unfortunately didn't find it here, but would have absolutely loved to try the desserts at another time.

    I go here often enough to make reviews on specific items...lol. I highly suggest ordering the grilled cheese and tomato soup special if you like cheese and tomatoes. There is nothing like tasting a real, pureed vegetable in a veggie soup. If it started out canned, I wouldn't have known it (not that I'm saying that), and you have to like cheese because you get a thick, melted, and stringy cut on sourdough bread, toasted perfectly to hold up to dipping in the soup. On a warm day, this dish goes great with an IPA or chilled white wine.

    Pineapple coconut scones!

    Daughter and I were in Little Italy for late night dinner and we needed a great desert spot, of course! We walked (5 min) to Extraordinary Desserts and I haven't been here in YEARS. We ordered a pineapple coconut scone and blueberry cheese cake croissant. Both were SO PRETTY and so delicious. My daughter and I tried to choose our favorite and we decided, why, they are both terrific! The scone was so buttery and this flavor combo was so yummmm! The croissant was so flaky and perfectly blueberry filled! I grabbed a chocolate chip cookie dough to go-my best move of the night! Now I have delicious cookies at home whenever I like!

    We sat at the bar while we waited for our orders. Served fast and it was so nice that it wasn't crowded but of course due to it being a weeknight. The parking was a bit tough, but luckily I found a spot not that far away. Overall, you get wonderful customer service here! Thank you Extraordinary Desserts for making our visit enjoyable!!

    So good it was scary how good. Absolutely worth going for a treat. It looks like people actually ate dinner there instead of only desserts. We sat inside and it was convenient that you could get your own water & to-go boxes. Made it less stressful. We went late at night, so like the lighting was more like mood lighting, but it was really nice. The place was very much decorated and looked like it had been additionally built-in. Absolutely worth going to. The person at the counter was very nice.

    SERVICE: 4/5 This is primarily a self-serve spot. You order at the front, then choose your own table. They offer more than just desserts, including entrees and drinks, though I didn't try those. One thing to note: there isn't a clearly displayed dessert menu, so it's helpful to look at the options and decide what you want while waiting in line. FOOD: 4.5/5 The desserts are absolutely stunning and beautifully presented. They were a bit sweeter than my personal preference, but still incredibly delicious and worth trying. ATMOSPHERE: 5/5 The interior perfectly complements the desserts with a floral, elegant aesthetic. It's a gorgeous space that makes the whole experience feel special.

    Spacious restaurant
    Gabriela O.

    Most amazing drinks! Never disappoints mostly likely always a line (order in advance line NOW) Most beautiful desserts you will ever see. Great space in the restaurant to sit and chat while enjoying your dessert and tea. One of my favorites if you're in the area, I must try. Knocked a star because they were out of the chocolate chip cookie :(

    Creme Brulee Carrot Cake and Passionfruit Napoleon
    Carlin T.

    Still my go to place when I'm craving something sweet and special. Their cakes may be pricey, but in my opinion, for the amount of work, effort, and quality of ingredients, I think they continue to be fair. For example, some other specialty bakeries/shops are charging similar prices for cakes and cheesecakes that are much simpler. In comparison, Extraordinary Dessert cakes take 3-4 days to make, have 6-8 alternating layers, and are typically adorned with edible gold and/or flowers. The key is to find which items you like and which are okay to pass on next time. What we ried this time: -Match Misu Cake (7/10): ricotta cake layers soaked in matcha and layered with marscapone whipped cream. This one was pretty good and ranks in my middle to high range. I only wish there was more matcha flavor (maybe if you dine in and get the sauce, this would help) or the matcha was paired with another flavor ... either go fruity (maybe a raspberry sauce, strawberry pieces, white peach pieces, or like a peach oolong cream layer) or go chocolately/coffee (maybe had some crushed up chocolate covered espresso beans). My go to's: -Ivoire Royale (10/10) - my ultimate favorite still. If you like light desserts, white chocolate, berries, and moist vanilla cake, thus one is for you. Classy and unpretentious -Shangrila (10/10) - my other favorite and will make you feel like a princess with all the pink chocolate curls. A little bit adventurous and innocently elegant. Ones to skip: -Au Chocolate / La Bete Noire / Dame Chocolate - get the Viking instead. That's my favorite of all their chocolate cakes -Lemon ricotta - get the Passionfruit Ricotta instead -Torta misu - the matcha misu is better. The tortilla misuse made me want a regular piece of tirmaisu than a cake version -Coconut cream - not bad, not amazing though

    I hate to say it, but this place felt a bit overhyped to me. It is definitely beautiful and visually appealing, but the prices are high and the taste just did not stand out. I got two slices to go and unfortunately ended up throwing most of them away. One was their version of tiramisu, and it leaned more toward a basic cake rather than having that classic tiramisu texture and flavor. On a positive note, they package everything really well. By the time I got home, the cake and frosting were still perfectly intact, which I appreciated. My recommendation would be not to over order. Sharing a slice with a couple of people is probably the way to go. I would mainly bring visitors here for the presentation rather than the flavor.

    Ashley C.

    Came here after strolling down little Italy, good dessert spot. Decided to get the Tiramisu scone and lemon bar.

    I wouldn't risk it since a good amount of stuff may contain nuts

    Do you make sugar free cakes?

    Yes, they do.

    Are the petals on the Ivoire Royale edible?

    Yes, they are rose petals with edible gold leafing. All the flowers on the desserts are edible :)

    Not that I'm aware, they have vegan and gluten free for sure

    Are flies still an issue?

    Yes, they were present, not bad bad, but noticeable...inside the glass cases at that. I just prayed over my dessert and enjoyed

    Do they make princess cakes?

    They don’t do that sort of thing, but they do make gorgeous, fancy cakes and specialty desserts!

    When is the best time to order from them? Whenever I go to their online order menu everything is pretty much sold out. I really want to try this place out but never can.

    I would just walk in. We walked in and there was no line.

    Hi are you all open again? Miss you !

    Not all of us... but E.D. Is open for business

    We are able to deliver wedding & catering orders that are arranged weeks in advance. These orders are typically taken by the owner and include a delivery fee. We also partner…

    No. Right now both locations are pick up only.

    When I was there last, there were only a few small benches. They used to have spacious restaurant size indoor eating. But they could have opened it back up recently.

    Does anyone know if they have opened dine in yet TIA?

    Not yet. Still closed with no eta.

    To the best of my knowledge, none of the prepared desserts here contain raw eggs. However, Extra Ordinary Desserts does sell cookie dough, to be prepared at home. Some of these may contain raw eggs and are not specifically intended to be eaten…

It's packed with unique home goods, chic trinkets, and aesthetic lifestyle items. Be sure to wander all the way to the back shelves--there are so many hidden gems worth taking home! The staff upfront and on the floor were incredibly warm, welcoming, and happy to chat while you browse. As you head toward the back, the space opens up into a dream of a café. One of the cutest touches is being able to actually watch the bakers rolling out fresh dough and crafting pastries right before your eyes. The smell of rich espresso and buttery pastry crust filling the air is irresistible. I grabbed a coffee and a fresh pastry, waited a short bit for a table on the patio, and pulled out my journal. Listening to the ambient music and ocean breeze in the courtyard while writing was pure heaven. Whether you're stopping in to shop for home decor, grab a top-tier espresso, or just soak in the slow, luxurious rhythm of La Jolla, this place is perfection.

They did seem initially reluctant to refund me but I've found rose lattes to be hit or miss, unfortunately. The barista informed me that the almond/cashew milk is a bit watery and I should have ordered it the oat milk. We also ordered a lavender lemonade and two pastries. The lavender lemonade was okay, not too sweet and tasted natural. You could taste the lavender in it. We got a PB brownie pastry and a lemon bar. Both pastries were pretty dry and did not taste very fresh. The top of the lemon bar was good but the cookie base was very dry and hard. The PB Brownie was really sweet and similar to the lemon bar, the top was good, but the base was hard. My husband liked the brownie bar but said it tasted a few days old. We had taken the pastries with us to enjoy once we got home. Although edible, I don't think I would order that again. I would have preferred to try their croissant style pastries but we were limited when we visited around noon. Maybe they had better, fresher options earlier in the day. Unfortunately, I don't think I'll return. The bakery has no indoor seating but limited patio seating.

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.

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.
