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.

Sugar bun
Maria L.

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.

Very surprising tart raspberry sauce
Lawrence F.

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.

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.

Blood orange ricotta
Jessica W.

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.

Pineapple coconut scones!
Tracey F.

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.

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

Keti L.

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.

Ellie N.

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.

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 :(

Ivoire Royal whole cake Everything about this cake was amazing! Beautiful and tasty!! Highly recommend

Tasty and delicious! It was such a beautiful cake. The bday girl is not a cake person and she loved everything about it!

Do they still sell chilled cookie dough you can buy?

Yes I saw it tonight, August 2025

Hi All, I have a trip to San Diego from April 22 to April 25. Before I fly back to San Jose on…

Probably too late of an answer but for anyone else who's wondering, they usually pack their desserts in boxes

We have nut allergies. How safe is the food handling?

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 :)

Do you have keto/low carb options?

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

Do they deliver whole cakes to a restaurant if you order in advance?

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… 

Do they have the brunch dine in?

No. Right now both locations are pick up only.

Are there places to eat dessert outside since inside dine-in is closed?

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.

Any dessert contains raw eggs?

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… 

Are you open for dine in?

No take out only

Do they offer sauce on the side for take out cakes like how the sauce is poured on plate with slice for dine in?

With all 3 of my orders I received the containers of sauce on the side.

Do they have gluten free options?

Yes but not all the time so call first.

If i want to order a whole cake for a future date, is there a menu online? and can i place the order online?

The menu is online but you have to call to order.

What days and time is happy hour for desserts?

Super cutesy vibe and pretty delicate desserts. Almost reminds me of Nothing Bundt Cake interior with merch, candles, gifts, flowers.

I got the earl gray lavender cupcake and black sesame matcha Hojicha drink and lychee hibiscus tea drink. The cupcake was moist, not too sweet, had some grittiness to it from the seeds. Tasted the earl gray and lavender combo. It was delicious, I could have ate the entire thing but had to share the other half. There were a few tables outside but none inside.

We ordered a bunch of desserts to share at work so I got to sample a good selection. Pricing is in line with other fancy dessert places. Presentation is beautiful. Some items were to my taste, others not so much. Creme brulee cheesecake - The brulee is very slight, not enough to form a sugar top or anything. More just like a good slice of cheesecake. Cookie - This was my favorite, strong vanilla flavor from the icing, a pretty densely baked cookie. Very large, worth the $4.50 in my opinion. Carrot cake tres leches - Not for me, the cinnamon was overpowering and I would've liked to taste more of the other spices. Pandan cake - The texture is slightly different, almost bouncy like some tapioca or rice flour was used. The pandan flavor is very present; I enjoyed it, reminiscent of some Southeast Asian desserts. A bit on the sweet side. Mango cupcake - Very delicate whipped frosting, overall good but nothing standout to me Passion fruit tart - Very good. Can be a bit sweet for some, I think some of my coworkers didn't enjoy the gritty sugar in the center filling, but I thought the flavor was excellent. Coconut cake - Also not very popular among my coworkers; for me it was a little sweet but also a little one note. Not my favorite. Hojicha cheesecake - Good! Strong tea flavor which balances out the sweetness, and possibly the most unique flavor out of all the desserts. If I were to return here for something, it would be for this. Pavlova - The eggy smell is too strong. Least popular item among my coworkers. The custard inside is decent and the dessert itself is beautiful, more of an instagram dessert.

I also got a plain croissant, because I love theirs, and a crookie...a chocolate chip cookie baked in a croissant hug. Everything was all so good! I only stop here when I can get close parking.

It's a small little place with a few tables outside its doors - still within the store. We came on a random weekday afternoon and it looked like most things were in stock. There were still quite a few people who were in and out. I brought home some pastries and my whole family loved everything! They said everything wasn't so sweet, which is a very good thing for when coming from Asian adults. I concur, the pastries weren't too sweet and the fillings/cremes were generous. I love pastries with filling and all of the ones I got did. I really enjoyed my selection. My favorite from most to least was: crème brûlée, pistachio, mango, almond, and fig.

It's an absolute staple of what makes exploring the Village so special. Walking through the front entrance, you're greeted by a curated retail space that feels like Crate & Barrel met a boutique shop in the heart of Paris. 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.

If you're waiting in line or making the trip out, I'd highly recommend adding a cake or pastry to your order. We came on Saturday around 11:30am and there was a line outside that took about 30 minutes to get in. While we were waiting, we saw parking enforcement come around a few times so make sure that you pay the meter! The inside is soo cute! We ended up staying here for a bit and studying because it was super spacious and cozy. There is a lot of seating in the front and back and even outside too! A lot of people were there working as well. There are plenty of outlets available so that was nice. If you do plan on studying/working, just bring noise cancelling headphones cuz it does get loud.
