This place has the most insanely delicious vegan pastries omg. In one of their display cases they…read morehave an entire shelf that is labelled as all vegan, and luckily I asked an employee if there were any other vegan options because he told me that one of their two rows of rolled croissants were also vegan. I ended up getting a vegan almond croissant and a vegan chocolate hazelnut rolled croissant, both of which were ridiculously good. The almond croissant was nice and flaky yet still buttery inside, and the almond filling was lovely. However my favorite was definitely the rolled croissant, the hazelnut creme inside was so light and creamy and when taken in a bite with the croissant and chocolate shell coating was heavenly. They had so many other options that looked incredible, in particular if I came back I would definitely want to try the vegan kouign amann. The inside is cute and has a small amount of seating, however the place is quite busy and fills up very fast. Me and my friend were lucky to get there early and be able to claim a table, and so they plated the pastries for us quite nicely and heated up her pizza croissant. Everyone we interacted with was lovely. This place is actually perfection I cannot recommend enough.

Don't understand the hype when it comes to these pastries... they were mediocre to me at best but…read morecustomer service was exceptional with majority of the staff that I interacted with. I must give a shoutout to Oscar for going above and beyond. You can tell he has a positive attitude and I'd come back for the service alone. I like that there is both indoor and outdoor seating and the staff is quick to clean the tables as people leave.

I adore this bakery!…read more As a vegan for many years, I love that Hazel & Jade allows me to enjoy a variety of pastries that I typically am unable to when dining out. I have tried quite a few things here and I genuinely enjoyed all of them! However, I think the Sausage Roll and Breakfast Croissant are my favorites! I wish I lived closer and start every morning off with Hazel and Jade!!

I hate writing anything less than 5 stars for vegan businesses but I recently visited and ordered a…read morerose latte with their made in house almond/cashew milk. I have to admit it was bland and tasted watered down. I didn't enjoy it very much and ended up returning it at the end of my lunch not too far away. 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.

Desserts: 5/5 We got a blood orange scone and a strawberry danish. The scone was warm and delicious. The orange essence was well infused. The danish was crispy and creamy. Everything was so picturesque. Food: 3/5 Unfortunately, the food was not the best. We got the smoked salmon sandwich which was not very flavorful. The salmon was also slimy. The pesto spread was good though. It was creamy and the artisan bread it was served had great variety. Ambiance: 5/5 This place is such super cute. When you walk in, the desserts all look super appetizing. The seating areas are super cute and the floral decor are stunning. Service: 5/5 It is an order then sit down establishment. There is great attention to their dessert. I saw them heat up a knife just to cleanly cut the cake. The food service however did take some time to come out.

We stopped by here after being downtown for Comicon…read more Things must have changed over the years since I felt the establishment has changed a bit. We used to come visit here when we come to San Diego. On this summer day - the restaurant doesn't bave any AC on so it made it a bit uncomfortable to enjoy our desert when it is a bit cooler to sit outside. The other thing that got to me was that the men's restroom was out of service so they did not announce it or anything but the women's bathroom was to be used by both genders but it was crowded so a bit uncomfortable. Service wise we got our deserts and the deserts are still very delicious. We were a larger party and they were able to accommodate and get all of our orders correctly. Noise level was normal and gave us time to sit down and relax our feet. Over all - food was good but things were a bit worn down from a building perspective

DECADENT SLICE OF CAKE (5 stars)…read more Better than Extraordinary Dessert's slice of cakes. If you see this vendor, do make the effort to secure yourself a slice, or two, or three. I discovered them in Oceanside although their kitchen is in Sorrento Valley area. It's an independently operated "mom and son" kind of business! CHOCOLATE GANACHE CAKE (~$9?) - this was the perfect decadent slice of cake. Moistness, texture, fluff, sweetness, to presentation. I enjoyed every bite and wish I had another slice right after. The moistness, fluff, and bounciness of the cake's texture showed proof of freshly baked, n point baked times, and the magic touch of Nora. It wasn't too sweet yet carried that chocolate ganache sweetness through and through without nerving a person from getting tired of the flavor. To be honest, this would pair well nicely with a glass of milk! I cannot wait to buy another. HIGHLY RECOMMEND Will mosdef be back for more.

Super cutesy vibe and pretty delicate desserts. Almost reminds me of Nothing Bundt Cake interior with merch, candles, gifts, flowers. Things you can pick up last minute if you're on your way to a party. They offer cheesecake, cupcake, cookies, cakes and few others. Lattes, matcha, Hojicha, teas and lemonade. 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.

I'd been seeing Atelier Flour all over Instagram, so I decided to stop by and see what the hype was…read moreabout. I ordered the Island Girl Coffee, a macadamia latte, and asked for it less sweet. To me, it tasted very similar to a flavored hazelnut latte from Starbucks. Even with reduced sweetness, it was still sweeter than I prefer and had a slightly artificial flavor. If you enjoy flavored Starbucks-style coffee, you'll probably like it, but it's just not my personal preference. I actually didn't finish my drink because the flavor wasn't for me. That said, the cashier was very sweet, and the dessert display looked beautiful and tempting. While the coffee didn't win me over, I'd still come back to give their desserts a try since they looked much more appealing than the drink I ordered. Overall, a nice spot with friendly service, but next time I'll be skipping the flavored coffee and trying one of the desserts instead.

Nestled among…read morethe walkable, sun-drenched streets lined with palm trees and ocean breezes, this boutique café captures that rare blend of upscale SoCal charm and effortless European sophistication. 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.

No wonder why the ladies that ordered before me cleared almost the entire selection. Luckily, an older gentlemen working in the bakery told us that if we waited an extra 10-15 minutes, they would have additional financiers ready for purchase. I was able to snag a pumpkin bread so I didn't mind waiting. We tried the lemon financier and the almond financier, and the almond was my absolute favorite! I was a little bummed that we came too late to try their pastries, but we ended up getting to try some at Lovesong Coffee, just a couple steps away. I loved the aesthetic of the spot and how pink it was! Although it's no longer in business, I hope we'll get to try their pastries again one day!

I had…read morea huuuuuge boba craving (as usual) while we were down here and I saw a kid walking around with one! We hunted for it and came across this little kiosk. 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. I was extremely bummed but we plan on visiting again in the near future and will definitely update my review then. I'm sure their coffee drinks are better and I hear they're known for their egg tarts. IG: @ammysalamii

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.
