After looking up some mochi places in the SD area on a whim, my boyfriend and I decided to stop by…read moreHogetsu Bakery whilst in Chula Vista! Located within a plaza of stores, it was pretty easy to find the bakery. My boyfriend and I parked right outside then walked in. It's a cute shop with a glass case displaying all of their mochi flavors - there was a lot of options! I knew immediately it was going to be difficult to make a decision. I asked the lady working at the counter about their most popular flavors and she gave me some direction. From there, I picked out which flavors I wanted to try the most! I got chocolate, strawberry, mango, strawberry daifuku, and red bean with soybean powder on the outside. They have some instructions on how to maintain the integrity of the mochi, so as soon as I got home I put them in the fridge, That night, I was finally able to dig in! The mochi was very soft and had the perfect texture. I made sure to sample each flavor and was so stuffed. My favorite had to of been either the mango or the red bean with soybean powder. However, there were all very delicious! If you find yourself in the area, it's definitely worth giving this cute mochi shop a go! :)

We selected several boxes of candy and he offered to wrap them in the traditional See's Candies wrapping because we didn't like the "SoCal" box image on a particular product. I recommend this See's Candy location. So clean and Jimmy was so nice! I was tempted to buy more products because of the nice environment and hospitality.

That said, you can still make your own personalized box or bag, which is great. We always go for our favorites--the Polar Bears, Double Caramels, and the Pecan and Almond Buds. Hoping they return to their full-size location

My husband and I went down to Wholesale Candy World on a Friday afternoon. It was tough to find…read moretime to go, as it is in a warehouse district nowhere near my daily route, and it is not open on nights or weekends. We were searching for some retro candy for an upcoming event. The warehouse isn't huge, but it is big for a candy store. It is really for buying cases of bulk candy. It is not a cutely displayed vintage candy store, but it also does not claim to be. It was a really good place to get the bulk of the candy we needed for the event. Everything was sold in large amounts. We picked up some items such as jawbreakers, candy cigarettes, Big League Chew, and Now and Laters. I did wish some times came in more of a variety pack and that others came in slightly smaller portions. We did decide to buy some of the items elsewhere because we simply didn't want that much of one flavor of a certain type of candy. I think it is a great place to buy candy in bulk, though I do think the variety could be a bit better. All in all, it was a useful trip for us to prepare for our event.

It's a warehouse so it's exactly what you'd expect, which honestly I don't mind at all. The owners are the sweetest and always so attentive plus they have sooo many varieties, even old school candies that bring me back to childhood. Love this place so much

There's a lot of desserts to choose from! I got the oreo cookie looking cake slice. The iced latte was great! Hit the spot! The cake was a little on the dry side, but I really liked the flavor! We sat inside and it's a very pleasant cozy dining room. A breeze was blowing through which was nice especially since the day was sunny, it felt like we were outside. The staff is friendly! We were there for about an hour and a half, until it was time for them to close...LOL! Definitely worth checking out! I would stop by again if in the area.

My daughter ordered the strawberries and Nutella crepes and they do not disappoint. Very generous on every aspect the fresh strawberries, the Nutella and the crepe. 4 star because my pear tea (which I drink hot) was kind of not so pleasant , almost like an instant tea flavor to it with a sweet taste that was not for me. Should have gone for the coffee with delicious grains staring at me on the top of the coffee machine.

The icing was better on the chococream, but the cake was pretty dry and didn't have much flavor to it. On the other hand, the cake part on the chocobombon was moist and the cherry gave a nice flavor, but the icing was way too sweet. Pretty pricey for less than average cakes. I wouldn't recommend coming here.

The service was excellent! She gave an accurate description of the chicken waffles as almost a corn dog aspect but not! Definitely waffle flavors with a chicken core on a stick!
