Don't skimp on the potato balls and sandwiches too. I just love this place. I also love that they have affogatos with a legit espresso machine. They use vanilla soft serve for their affogato, and it was delicious. I didn't even miss the traditional gelato aspect.

Next time I went I tried the vanilla cronut, and it was equally good. The vanilla icing was perfect and just the right thickness, and the consistency and texture of the cronut itself was just perfect.

Despite the café not being busy, it took an unnecessarily long time to receive both my food and drinks.

To make matters worse, when I realized I had ordered the wrong sandwich, I also noticed the texture and color of the egg. It was extremely watery and gray on the inside! I tried to switch the sandwich out and the employees shrugged and said, "that's what you ordered." They weren't wrong, it was what I ordered, and I won't order from Skybound again. Between the slow service, uncomfortable interaction, poor food quality, and dismissive attitude from the staff, the entire experience left a bad impression. Unfortunately, Skybound missed the mark on every level. There are plenty of other coffee shops that offer better service, better food, and a more welcoming atmosphere. I won't be back.

Things bought: Raspados (1 fresas cremosas and 1 strawberry), elotes puercos, equites, and some pan). Food: Raspados flavors were really good and not watered down at all. What I liked about these raspados was that the ice doesn't melt fast and nice ice texture unlike other spots I've tried in SD county. The esquite has been one of the best I've ever found here in SD county (I've tried so many trying to find the right one since moving here 9 yrs ago!). Fresh corn, perfect amount of cheese with great taste, and just delicious. Elotes puercos had this sauce that I wish it was offered in the esquites as a flavor. PLEASE NEVER CHANGE THE RECIPE of this sauce!!! I tried 3 different types of pan (cochinito, oreja, and this white yellowish ball). The cochinito had a strong after taste that I didn't enjoy. Oreja was ok and I actually did eat, would of liked more of the glaze on it. The white yellow ball had no flavor at all (I'm assuming it was butter with sugar but still no flavor) but the bread itself was tasteless as well. Ambiance: Pretty clean and organized, bright pretty color tones. Customer service: Was greeted as soon as entering and every employee was very attentive and with a friendly attitude. Great job to all of you! I will definitely come visit again, I don't care that your location is about 1hr away, THIS SPOT IS WORTH IT. Please open one down south area in SD County.

From the staff who helped answer all our questions to everyone who worked the event, I am so grateful for your professionalism and support in making the event amazing. If you ever choose this place for one of your events, you will not regret it.

We thought we'd try Little Cakes Kitchen, so we ordered the half-dozen box of assorted cupcakes. They were delivered through DoorDash. We knew we were not able to pick our flavors by ordering this way, but figured Little Cakes would send a representative sample, which I assume they did. I'm not sure which flavors were in our box because they weren't labeled. I wanted to know what we were eating, but I had to dig through many past reviews to identify most of them. The 6 flavors received in the 1/2-dozen box were: * Vanilla * Chocolate * Almond Champagne * German Chocolate * Something Marshmallow-Topped * Something Chocolate--Topped with Thin Vanilla Icing and Vanilla Buttercream All the cupcakes were of average size and were decorated nicely enough. Albeit the cake part on all the cakes were a bit dry. It was difficult to discern a specific flavor on a few, so I've come to the conclusion that garnishing must be their gift. Most of the 'vanilla' flavors, were indistinguishable in flavor from one another, except for the Almond Champagne, which had a cloying almond paste filling, and too much filling to cake ratio. Of particular concern was that the frosting on all seemed to be off in ratios of butter to shortening. I suspect there was an over abundance of shortening in all the cupcakes, which to me, is not palatable, nor is it delicious or anything resembling what a good cupcake should be. They miss the mark in my opinion. Due to the high prices and the fact that the frosting on all the cupcakes was cloying and poorly prepared with what I suspect was too much shortening, and not enough icing sugar, I would likely not buy cupcakes from Little Cakes Kitchen again.

OMG! Delicious!

To my surprise Water Shack's burgers were delicious and satisfying that I find myself coming back here ever so often. Their burgers aren't the heavy, greasy/high fat patties you would get from other places. However, their 1/4 lb patties are their smallest patties and heft makes for that ideal bun to burger ratio. Did I need to order double patties on most of my burger orders? Probably not. Their patties are on the leaner side but they aren't dry; and the fixings from any burger you choose will satisfy that meaty burger fix you're looking for. The Chicken Patty Melt is also a very tasty item. Very cheesy, buttery and crispy toasted bread with chicken breast. Their fries and onion rings also come air-fried so this place focuses more on the healthier comfort food options that wont leave you feeling heavy and drowsy. This place is also doubled as a purified water dispensary and also serves baked goods and ice cream. Love this type of no-frills, unassuming place with very friendly staff and serves up some delicious food!

I recently had the pleasure of ordering from Jen at No More Boring Cakes, and I must say, she is nothing short of a cake artist extraordinaire! From the moment I contacted her, Jen's professionalism and passion for her craft were evident. She took the time to understand exactly what we needed as a vacation rental and turned our vision into an edible surprise for our guests! Jen's cakes and treats are simply scrumptious! Each bite was a delightful experience, with moist and all our guests just loved the special treat!! It was clear that only the finest ingredients were used. Jen truly goes above and beyond to ensure her clients are satisfied. Her creativity, skill, and commitment to excellence make her a standout in the world of cake artistry. If you're looking for a show-stopping cake that tastes as incredible as it looks, Jen at No More Boring Cakes is the person to go to. She's a five-star lady, and I can't recommend her highly enough! Thank you, Jen, for making our vacation rental treats extra special for all our guests to Casa de Kona South Oceanside, Ca!! Highly recommend! read more

We recently had the most fabulous carrot cake from No More Boring Cakes, and I just had to share how incredible it was! It was filled with pineapple, coconut, carrots, and pecans, drizzled with a rich caramel sauce, and topped with the most delicious cream cheese frosting. Every bite was moist, flavorful, and absolutely unforgettable. My husband and the rest of the family raved about it--they were all asking where it came from, saying it was the most unbelievable carrot cake they had ever had. And we've had a lot of desserts over the years! This one truly topped them all. I've tried many of Jen's desserts, and they're always amazing, but this one really stood out. I also love that she offers weekly specials, making it so easy to try something new. Jen is such a warm and loving person, and you can taste that love in every recipe. She makes the entire process--from ordering to enjoying--so easy and personal. I 100% recommend No More Boring Cakes to anyone looking for something special. You won't be disappointed! read more

Btw... I just realized what Jen said on #3 of her response. Seems like she was the one trying to play the "business is always right". How ridiculous of her to say I was impatient when she was the one frantically texting me via fb which I don't check often and PLEASE tell me where you stated there was a funeral? You said a family emergency (this is just to show how you embellish). Once I saw the messages I respectfully responded with "no worries, whatever time before 11:30". read more

I dream about the moment there's another event that needs a cake so I can bring some from Crimson cake. I love their cakes so much I ordered a full cake tasting so I can try different flavors. My top favorites: 1. Chocolate with chocolate mousse (it's insanely perfect and great for freezing small pieces and bringing it out to nibble. Also equally love chocolate with fresh strawberries but just doesn't last as long in the fridge. 2. Black Forest cake - decadent chocolate with fresh raspberries that cut the chocolate decadence with the perfect balance 3. Pineapple and coconut- anyone who loves this combo will LOVE this cake. My husband's favorite. 4. Red velvet - not overly sweet exactly how I love it. The other favors I've tried that were decent were carrot cake, pistachio raspberry, almond raspberry. Pistachio flavor is super subtle. Carrot cake was not as moist as other carrot cakes I've had and almond raspberry couldn't taste much almond. Service is great and always good communication. They even made sure to load my car with items I've over based over the past year. Location is in a business park area so never had an issue finding parking. Crimson Cake will be my forever cake shop.
