I'm not sure what has happened recently, but the quality of the donuts seems to have declined over…read morethe past few months. I also feel as if they are putting out day olds for the glazed, old-fashioned and the buttermilk bars. I normally buy a couple of donuts to eat over the next couple of days, so I am well aware of what a day old donut tastes like. The past couple of times I've gone in, the donuts that I bought early in the morning already tasting like day old donuts. Hard and slightly gummy. I will probably give them one more shot, but after that, it's off my list

Highly Recommended!!! 5-Star! P.S. Please give Hugo and Sienna a pay raise for being so AWESOME! Santé!

It smelled like something had gone BAD. Meat? Milk? Cheese? or Bio? Who even knows. It didnt help that the place lacked AC and they had a massive floor fan sitting directly in front of the entrance circling a hot terrifying scent around the very crowded room.

I was on my lunch walk and noticed this place. I don't like to pass up an opportunity to browse interesting shops, so I popped in. I was immediately greeted by a women who asked if I needed help. My last time in a Mexican bakery was pre-covid. Back then most places I've been to you grabbed a tray and loaded up. So initially declined help but when I saw the only trays around where 2 by her with tongs I realized I needed help. She helped me get my selection of baked goods. My coworkers loved it and I'm looking forward to going back for myself. Pineapple empanadas for the win!

Let's talk about Peterson's Donut Corner! As a donut connoisseur, I thought I was prepared, but the…read moresheer number of options had me in awe! I didn't know where to begin. Every time something caught my eye, there was another donut making the decision even harder! I love that you can see right in and watch the donuts being made. There's something about seeing the process that makes you even more excited to get your order and take that first bite! The donuts were fresh, soft, and absolutely delicious. The kind that makes you slow down to enjoy each bite while already thinking about which one you're trying next! If you love donuts like I do, give yourself some time to take in all the options. Choosing might be the hardest part, but it's a delicious problem to have!

### ** The Good, The Bad, & The Ugly **…read more First off: major respect to **Peterson's Donut Corner** in Escondido! They're a legendary, classic mom-and-pop landmark that's been serving up 24/7 sweetness since 1957. You've gotta love a local icon... but we need to talk about my latest visit. --- ### **THE BAD & THE UGLY ** The main villain of this story? The **Ham, Cheese, and Jalapeño Croissant**. Things went off the rails when I innocently asked for it to be "warmed up." What returned in that classic white bag was a certified Chernobyl refugee. It wasn't "warmed"--it was **nuked** to the point that the croissant molecules merged directly into the pastry paper. They became as one. During this unholy atomic fusion, the croissant dough did a full-on **Benjamin Button**--the dough literally *reversed age* back into raw batter! I was eating nuked, raw dough wrapped around a slice of Farmer John-style ham, bonded together by whatever cheese originally started in there. **My heartfelt recommendation:** Make a $4.95 donation to the *Chernobyl Let's Get Healthy Again Association* rather than order this croissant. --- ### **THE GOOD Giant Cherry Fritter Energy!** What do my eyes deceive me? A **CHERRY FRITTER**?! Not apple... CHERRY! Naturally, I had to test drive this beast. * **The Size:** Absolute unit. It's roughly the size of a 9-month-old baby weighing 12 pounds. It's HUGE. * **The Crunch:** The outside is coated in a delicious, crackly glaze with a great crunch, all while keeping a soft, moist interior. * **The Cherry Search Party:** Where... *where* is the cherry? The baker was playing hide-and-seek with me. *"I'll call it a cherry fritter and see if you can find the cherries as advertised!"* Well played, Grasshopper. What I actually got tasted mostly like apple filling with a faint whisper of cherry. The flavor was honestly still good, but a bit disappointing since it didn't live up to its official name. --- **Final Verdict:** Go for the legendary 24/7 donut vibes and massive fritters, but leave the microwave setting to the professionals! -

A quick search on yelp led me to Aurora's Bakery, all the reviews raved about their tres leches cake specifically! I was met with a welcoming attitude, in addition to the amazing smell of freshly baked bread! I asked if they had any tres leches cakes on hand or if it was reservation only? Luckily they had a variety to choose from and at a better price than Vallarta or north gate! I highly recommend coming here if you need a cake for any special occasions, they also take custom orders! Apart from cakes, they also sell gelatinas (jello), flan, choco flan, plus a great selection of classic Mexican bread. I will definitely be coming back! Sadly I did not get a picture of the cake.

Date of Visit: 10.3.2026 Location: San Diego…read moreCuisine Type: Cafe Vibe: Hip space and very spacious... plenty of room for studying with about 6 tables plus a side bench. Friendly staff and I think there was wifi Cost: $-$$ (lattes around $6.75-7.50) Service: Friendly Food/ Rating: -4/5- They lean into unique Mexican blends and sell their own beans. My cold brew was nice and standard in a good way... more malty, less sour. The chocolate chip cookie had a good amount of Maldon salt for flavor contrast. My friend got the more unique De La Olla Latte (piloncillo, anise, clove, cinnamon) which ran a bit on the sweeter side, but he enjoyed it. Overall Thoughts: Best Thing I ate: The chocolate chip cookie with that Maldon salt Something to Improve: More outlets along the seating near the door... the side bench has some charging but it's very limited for a study spot
