    These cream puffs are out of this world!!! We saw this at a pop up at easy does it coffee shop. We got the apple pie cream puff as it was the last flavor available. The outside is crispy and sweet and inside is a delicious smooth cream with apple pie filling.

    I LOVE Mon Chourie's cream puffs. They're always freshly baked and honestly, there's no other cream puff in San Diego that tops this. My favorite mini cream puffs are the Biscoff ones, but the real game changer for me was the Hong Kong choux with boba. I fell in love after the first bite. Ever since I tried it, it's become a weekly buy because I genuinely can't survive without it anymore haha. Ordering is super easy, and they do pop-ups as well as preorders on their Instagram. 100/10 recommend!!

    The mango passion fruit cream puff was bomb. Wish I could of gotten more, but only had sample size. Only gotten the banana hojita and Dubai chocolate. The banana flavor was so so, but the Dubai chocolate with the pistachio filling had the awesome creamy crunchy texture. Will get more in the future, especially the mango passion fruit. Gave some to my 3 year old daughter and it was us fighting for the rest, but she won.

    I LOOOOOOOVE THESE CREAM PUFFS!!! I first got to try it out during a Yelp Elite event couple years ago but it's been so delicious and the collaborations have been so exciting that I and my friends have ordered them several times. For 6 mini puffs and 3 specialty puffs it came out to be around $36. For the minis I ordered: Biscoff, Passion Fruit, Strawberries and Cream, and Vietnamese Coffee. My favorite out of these were the Vietnamese Coffee and the Biscoff. I feel that the minis are the best size, and the cream to filling ratio is perfect. The larger ones are a bit messy so I think overall I prefer the smaller size. For the larger specialty puffs I ordered a Hojicha Banana and two Potato Croquettes which was a collaboration with Karanchi Chili Crisps. The Hojicha Banana had actual banana chunks in the filling which was a nice surprise! It wasn't too sweet which is the highest Asian praise given :P For the Potato Croquettes, three outside crackle portion was sweet so it gave it a sweet and savory taste. I feel like I would have liked it better if it was a savory crackle though. The inside was made of mashed potatoes and it had cubes of ham and corn, and the entire croquette was topped with Karachi Chili Crisps to give it heat and a slightly smokey flavor. Kelly was super sweet regarding pick up!! I had overslept a Saturday morning pickup and she was able to make them fresh for me to pickup the next day at another pop-up!! I appreciated the accommodations :')

    Yuuummmm!! This is so good! LITERALLY THEEE BEST DESSERT I ATE ALL YEAR!!! The Dubai chocolate is so good. It is all worth the hype. If I were you, I'd stop by one of their pop-ups and get all the flavors. You're welcome(:

    This food vendor is offering Korean Cream Puffs and Korean Strawberry Milk from her home in South Korea. As of November 2024, you can find her at the La Mes Village Farmer's Market, La Jolla Open Aire, and Cardiff by the Sea Farmer's Market. The cream puffs are fantastic. I had the vanilla cream puff, the original and the chocolate covered one. They were both great. The pastry was soft and flaky and the cream was delicious. I had a ube or purple yam puff, too and it was very yummy. She offers a flavor of the month. November is an apple pie puff stuffed with apple pie filing. If you like apple pie, check this one out. The Korean strawberry milk was very good. She macerated her on fresh strawberries for the beverage and it comes out delicious. Kim, the owner, is super friendly. You can order ahead for large orders. She is also available for events and such.

    Stumbled upon their pop-up while I was at a coffee shop, and I am so glad I did because it was SO good. Each puff is fully filled with cream on the spot, and the puff is perfectly flaky and crispy. I couldn't try their new flavor because it was sold out (I think people pre-order them) but I ended up getting one of each flavor that was available.

    I was introduced to them via a gift card, but then went back separately because they were so good!! I highly recommend trying their newer Korean style cream puff with the Dubai chocolate theme. The first bite with the rookie top is so good. They also do pop-up shops around San Diego in case you can't make it to their Hancock Street location.

    I love these cream puffs! They have such unique and rotating flavors. I've tried them at a pop-up and love that there was a lot of filling inside. I got the chocolate, vanilla bean, ube, etc. They are also available at the farmer's market as well!

    Tried Mon Chourie and really enjoyed it. Everything tasted fresh and well made, and the owner was genuinely kind and welcoming. Definitely would order again

    We happened to be in the neighborhood for the weekly pop-up at Kairoa and I was so happy to be able to finally try Mon Chourie. The crème puffs are really good. The banana pudding was really good! I haven't tried all of the crème puffs we bought yet but do far they're all good. I met the owner and she was really nice and happy to share her story. I love the unique flavors and I can't wait to try new ones and collaborations they come up with.

    I picked up a pre-order from one of her local pop-ups. All the puffs were fresh and very tasty with just the right amount of sweetness. The texture of the cream was nice & light. The Dubai Chocolate craquelin was a favorite! Service was great! Hope to be back again.

    Dubai Chocolate is a must!!! The puffs are so good I'm always on the lookout where the next pop up will be!

This location is open 11-6 daily and its pretty big. This market has many different vendors selling here and so many unique, vintage items here and I was completely absorbed in this store! I found some really great items including a nice birthday card, two pairs of very unique earrings, a fantastic gift for my mom and an adorable cat hat (see my profile photos) and all for a very reasonable price. This place is also very hip and trendy so great to come here and get some ideas of how to put your ensemble together. And, this has local sellers so you're supporting small businesses. This is a total win-win situation for me and you'll find me checking out more of their locations soon. There's also one in Mission Valley, yippee!

There are lots of eclectic and different items here. Some are handmade, some are vintage clothing, others are vintage housewares while other things are new items. They have a public restroom.

It was fun to look around at all the things.

    Well after reading the other reviews regarding the eyewear branch of this business, my experience…read moretracks. I'm here to vent about a negative experience I had after purchasing one of their products from a pop up shop in Scottsdale, AZ in the Painted Tree which for those who don't know, is a building containing multiple small business owners' goods like an upscale flea market. Long story not really short: I bought a cute gift for someone who loves our state and noticed when I got home that the "c" in "The Grand Canyon State" was erroneously lowercase. On a cleaning spree, I tossed the receipt though I had just bought the item that day. Didn't think I'd need it. So I tried to return it at Painted Tree cause it was effing with my senses and the girl at the register stated no refunds without receipt. Figured that might be the case but took a chance anyway. Later, I'm thinking well maybe the person who created the piece realized the error and corrected it in subsequent iterations and would either exchange it or create a new one right quick. Now you might be thinking, "How much could that thing have cost? $10? Why bother?" Well it only cost $20, to be exact, but that's not the point. The item was flawed, it was a gift, and a person like me cannot unsee or not care about things like this. It's a curse, for sure. So I emailed the biz asking if they'd consider replacing the item and the initial response (because I omitted details) was "what's wrong with it? lol" So as a Gen Xer, I immediately feel like I'm dealing with a) someone young and b) someone who doesn't understand when "lol" should and shouldn't be used. But Ok, no big. I respond, "the "c" in The Grand Canyon State is lowercase and should be uppercase." This person's response was simply , "really? Lol." So at this point I know I'm dealing with an individual who is young, unprofessional and who doesn't give any f**ks about their customers, as the previous reviews prove, as well. To be clear, I knew it was a long shot to get a corrected version. And I'm not giving this flawed gift to my friend, regardless of how nice the design. Anyone could have a bad day but judging by previous reviews, there is a clear track record and disregard for those who would help make this person's business successful if they just changed that attitude. But nope! This business owner was rude, condescending and clearly couldn't care less about their customer or worse: the quality of their work. And while this review may split Yelpers' opinions, I stand by mine. I'm going to let it go after I press send. But bottom line is someone who would respond this way to a customer trying to support their business should be relegated to bad entrepreneur jail until they've learned how to treat people.

I called the Calacas and they told me they can send me a replacement this was April 2022. I was told "Those are ocean I don't have those in stock" "Give me couple days and we send them on the mail " They then asked me if I had VENMO and the cost would be $30. I was. It excited about that, but I do love the glasses. So I agreed to pay. I sent the money the next day. Within 5 minutes of receiving the VENMO information. 2 weeks later nothing. No Glasses. No Follow Up. NOTHING! I sent a text and the response was "We send them out" "Are you in San Diego" I asked if they had a tracker NO RESPONSE A week later. I reach out again. Their response is: "who is this?" I explain. They say "What's your address I think we did send them" I gave them my address They said "I'll check" NOTHING! NOTHING! 5 days later I check in They ask "How did you make the payment?" I send a screen shot Response "what frame are you looking for?" I call on the phone and re-explain everything. 1 Month Later Nothing It's now been over three months since my first call, since I paid for a replacement, countless calls, text messages and promises from Calacas and still NOTHING!!! In June I sent one last plea.... Please send me my glasses. I do not want to have to write a poor review. NO RESPONSE Please stay away from this company. They made promises to me and stole my money.

    Still my go to place when I'm craving something sweet and special. Their cakes may be pricey, but…read morein 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

Also just so everyone is aware they're also liars just to mention & stupid.. she tells us her name is Karen thinking we don't know the owners name lol .. She was at the register at 7:20pm and was extremely rude and dismissive after we placed our order, especially regarding a child's dietary restrictions and health concerns. We politely asked if it would be possible to purchase a small cup of fruit , even just a couple strawberries cut up, because one child in our group cannot have sweets due to very strict dietary restrictions . Instead of simply saying they were unable to accommodate the request or offering another option, we were told to "go somewhere else," despite already spending the amount we did . The complete lack of professionalism and basic customer service was honestly shocking. It's disappointing to be treated that way at a place we have supported so consistently. This place has been going downhill , management for this place needs to step up .
