    Vanilla cupcakes filled with raspberry jam and topped with vanilla buttercream
    Lori T.

    Alissa is such a great communicator and of course an amazing baker. I was so happy with the outcome of my order which was two dozen elegantly simple cupcakes for my 30th birthday. They were moist, not overly sweet, and beautiful. Initially I wanted a different design and flavors that weren't on the menu and Alissa was open to accommodating. I appreciated it a lot! I ended up changing my order and she was very flexible. Pick up with very smooth, Alissa was fun to talk to. I will definitely be ordering from her for future events and gifts. I loved supporting her small business and hope to see it grow!

    Delicious! This creative chocolate Spacemen on the Moon custom designed cake was too much fun! The baker is friendly, creative and accommodating.

    Mini creme brulee desserts
    Elia N.

    All of our guests loved the mini creme brulee's. Ordered three different flavors and guests loved trying and comparing the three. Was a very delicious and beautiful dessert item to add to the party, wish we had ordered more items from Mini Desserts! Quick and easy communication to order and pick up.

    She makes the best desserts and very accommodating. I called her on Monday for a Friday order and she was kind enough to take such a last minute order. The desserts were so delicious and a big hit.

    Awesome cake! The cake looked amazing and Alissa was very responsive and helpful! Thank you for making my finance's birthday memorable!

    a blue and white cake
    Tracy V.

    The cake and cupcakes were beautifully decorated the way I had asked. Alissa responded to requests quickly and was easy to communicate with. I didn't get to taste the dessert beforehand, but the cake was delicious and moist. I received a lot of compliments regarding the cake. I didn't get to try the cupcake the day of the event, but it tasted dry the next day. The cake was still moist even a week after probably because of the layer of cream inside. Her prices were reasonable compared to other bakers I had contacted on Yelp. I would use her services again in the future. A few of our guests also asked for her business.

    Chocolate dipped strawberries
    Rochelle S.

    Amazing service and goodies from Alissa! I ordered 2 dozen the chocolate dipped strawberries that spelled out Happy Birthday and a name. She surprised me and offered to include pipettes with liquor! So of course the treats were a hit! They were soo delicious. Super fast with communication and delivery. Will definitely be ordering from her again in the near future.

    Custom 21 tart cake

    We're so glad we found Mini Desserts Catering! Alissa created a 21 tart for our niece. We got so many compliments on the tart cake. Alissa was able to create a cake based upon the colors and theme that we requested. She was so easy to work with and I appreciate that she offers different designs that vary on pricing. She helped make our nieces bday so special! We highly recommend the beautiful and delicious tart cakes.

    Mickey Mouse themed cupcake.
    Ali S.

    We were very happy with Alissa's cupcakes that she made for our daughter's birthday party. We brainstormed with her on a Mickey Mouse themed cupcake and texted her some photos we had in mind. The order was ready on time and the end result was exactly what we had hoped for. She even made edible white "buttons" that she attached to the cupcake wrapper. The cupcakes were the most delicious we've had, which was echoed by all the attendees. The best part was the frosting, which was true buttercream made from scratch- not overly sicky sugary sweet like most cupcakes bought at a store or large bakery. Very highly recommend Alissa!

    Harry Potter cake
    Helen Y.

    Very prompt and very talented! I just said we'd love a Harry Potter cake and send a couple of inspo photos and left it up to her aristry and she DELIVERED! Also...the cake was delicious...so many compliments from party guests on the yummy cake. Thank you!!

    Red velvet and chocolate cupcakes

    I was looking for ordering custom cupcake and small cake for my kids birthday which was only a week away. I contacted 3-4 bakeries and Alissa was first to respond. She was detail oriented and ask me everything about the cake from flavor, fillings, frosting and design. The price were very reasonable compared to other bakers. She also suggested other designs to best fit with my birthday theme. I ordered chocolate and red velvet cupcakes and both were delicious. Not much sugar and everyone loves them. We asked her to make 4inch chocolate cake with raspberry and edible image for birthday and it was so good. I am going to order more cakes from her.

    Loved the deserts for our kid's birthday party. They look very beautiful and very tasty. All the guests liked them and left very positive reviews. Allisa is very prompt and spot on. Strongly recommend SD mini desserts! Thank you Alissa.

    Got this one for a family party the past weekend, still thinking about how amazing it tasted. It was adorable, and very refreshing. The layers of the lemon filling in between the cake layers was memorable. Haven't have a cake taste like this in a very long time. I will definitely order from here again. Also the owner is very nice and sweet. Thank you for the amazing dessert!

This was not our first time visiting Extraordinary Desserts, which makes this experience even more disappointing. Sadly, every time we come back, the service seems to get worse. The waiter's attitude and level of attention were unacceptable, and the overall customer service was simply not there. For a place that is supposed to be about enjoying beautiful desserts and having a nice experience, the quality of the service completely ruined our visit. Service, attention, and hospitality were all a zero.

My friends and I were just looking to get a coffee in Little Italy, but when we walked in and saw all the delicious treats we had to try something else as well. I ordered a latte and neglected to tell them it was for here so I was given a paper cup, but they give real cups if you ask. The latte was good, and my friend bought a kitchen sink type cookie with chocolate, coconut, and macadamia nuts. It was warm and gooey good! Another friend tried the gelato and said it was very good. There are a few tables inside and tables out in front outside. We sat outside and enjoyed the beautiful San Diego weather. The decor and tables definitely gives you an old school Italian neighborhood vibe with Italian markets right next door. If I am in the neighborhood again, I would definitely come back here to try the gelato and/or a piece of an excellent looking lemon pie bar I spotted.

It was a warm day but we got there at 5:15pm and the sun was starting to go behind the downtown buildings. Negative: service. It seems if you are a regular, like the two tables near us, they chat it up and talk about how things are. If you aren't a regular, they just quickly come by and say "anything else?" the two times they came by. Im a huge water drinker so the carafe they brought only refilled our cups once. Never got another one until we were done and they came by asking about dessert. They weren't busy by any stretch on a Tuesday evening but apparently the frequent customers either tip really well or they prefer familiar faces. I assume the latter. So, I mean the food itself was great but service was not good. I mean we went when it was slow too and the host was talking it up with a frequent customer also asking about the changes recently to parking in their area nearby.... So, it puts this review as a 3/5.

So we decided on Nonna's for their variety of pastas and pizza. The evening was packed with people up and down the streets. However, when we arrived at Nonna's we only had to wait no more than a couple of minutes before being seated. We thought most italian places would provide some sort of complimentary bread, but this place did not. We ended up ordering the Carbonara, Fusilli Alla Vodka, Pappardelle, and Salsiccia pizza. Each were fantastic, but the family really enjoyed the Fusilli and the Pappardelle the most! The short rib meat was extremely tender and flavorful. Portions were a little smaller than expected, but it was enough to feed each of us with a couple slices of pizza to spare. Ambiance was nice and the staff was great. A drink we ordered was forgotten, but it's understandable since it was quite busy. Overall, great experience and glad we ended up at Nonna's even though it wasn't part of the batch of recommendations provided online. (Sorry forgot to take photos as we were so hungry and didn't realize it until after we ate!)
