Their egg tarts are so unique because it's THICK crust which I'm all in favor for! I loved the sweetness and savoriness to the corn egg tart. I want to come back to try their other flavors as well as their scones! I went to their pop up once after that, but I ran there so I could only try one item since I still had to run back. I got there around 15 minutes before they opened and there was already a line forming. There were about 5 parties ahead of me but it still took 30 minutes to get to the front of the line. At that time the dubai chewy cookie was blowing up on social media, and they had that there so you know I had to try it. I honestly thought it was a bit overhyped though. Like I liked the crunchiness, but it was wayyy too sweet. The cocoa powder did help balance the sweetness out a little bit since the cocoa powder was a little bitter. But still I thought this was a try once but wouldn't get it again situation. I need to come back to try the other egg tarts though!!! The owner was very sweet!

This was seriously so good I have to make the hour drive to SD to come back. I'm an egg tart fiend…read moreand I've never seen egg tarts that look this pretty! Not only that, but they taste amazing- the corn one was my favorite. I have to come back to try the sweet potato one because they were sold out when I went. I would really recommend coming early if you want the full selection. We came in at 10 AM and were so lucky to snag the very last garlic cream cheese bread and scallion cheddar scone. We weren't even originally going to get those, but I think seeing that they were the last ones made us greedy lol. The scallion cheddar scone actually ended up being my favorite out of everything, which is saying a lot because 1. I don't even usually like scones and 2. I reallyyyy liked the egg tarts here. It wasn't dry at all and I loved how both the scallion and cheddar flavors came through. I've had this type of garlic cream cheese bread before and liked it here too. I think it was just a little bit dried out and hardened which made it hard to bite through, but the flavors and cream cheese were on point. Would recommend the scone and egg tarts over this one. The girl at the stand was super nice and helpful! More people need to try Bakemellow out!

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.

We ordered a bunch of desserts to share at work so I got to sample a good selection. Pricing is in line with other fancy dessert places. Presentation is beautiful. Some items were to my taste, others not so much. Creme brulee cheesecake - The brulee is very slight, not enough to form a sugar top or anything. More just like a good slice of cheesecake. Cookie - This was my favorite, strong vanilla flavor from the icing, a pretty densely baked cookie. Very large, worth the $4.50 in my opinion. Carrot cake tres leches - Not for me, the cinnamon was overpowering and I would've liked to taste more of the other spices. Pandan cake - The texture is slightly different, almost bouncy like some tapioca or rice flour was used. The pandan flavor is very present; I enjoyed it, reminiscent of some Southeast Asian desserts. A bit on the sweet side. Mango cupcake - Very delicate whipped frosting, overall good but nothing standout to me Passion fruit tart - Very good. Can be a bit sweet for some, I think some of my coworkers didn't enjoy the gritty sugar in the center filling, but I thought the flavor was excellent. Coconut cake - Also not very popular among my coworkers; for me it was a little sweet but also a little one note. Not my favorite. Hojicha cheesecake - Good! Strong tea flavor which balances out the sweetness, and possibly the most unique flavor out of all the desserts. If I were to return here for something, it would be for this. Pavlova - The eggy smell is too strong. Least popular item among my coworkers. The custard inside is decent and the dessert itself is beautiful, more of an instagram dessert.

The service is impeccable and the food is delicious (not to mention the iced coffee - that's the main reason I go). The only reason that I give it 4 stars is because of an experience that left me perturbed..... after buying the salad, I opened it for lunch the next day and noticed a nat on the inside of the container. Not the outside - the INSIDE of the container, on the inner lining of the lid. It was still alive. It gets a tad bit worse than that. Upon looking more closely at the salad, there was a tiny red bug that crawled out from underneath the crouton... I repeat. a. tiny. red. bug. Love bugs, don't get me wrong!

We clearly failed at that. We tried the Caramel Apple Streusel Waffle, Jumbo Twisted Donut, and Blueberry Fruit Bite. The waffle was easily a fall favorite, a chewy Belgian-style waffle covered with cinnamon apples, buttery streusel, and caramel. The Jumbo Twisted Donut was soft and chewy with a crunchy rice topping and cinnamon sugar, while the Blueberry Fruit Bite was light, fruity, and a nice change of pace from the richer options. For drinks, we went with the Pumpkin Chai Latte and Vanilla Sweet Cream Cold Brew. The chai had those warm pumpkin-spice flavors that immediately taste like fall, while the cold brew was smooth, coffee-forward, and balanced nicely by the vanilla and sweet cream. This location is conveniently inside the H Mart shopping area, with plenty of parking, and the pastry selection makes it dangerously easy to leave with more than you planned. Everything tasted fresh, the drinks were great, and there's enough variety that I could come back several times without ordering the same thing twice.

Not to be dramatic: There's good chocolate cake, and then there's really good chocolate cake. This…read moreis the latter. This is the place to go in San Diego if you want a slice of luxury without the guilt. In short: get Le Signature, Le Noisette for a nutty flavor, and if they have it, The London Cake (think chocolate and caramel; currently obsessed with this one!!). Tip: Store cakes in a cold/cool place if not eaten immediately especially during a heatwave summer or you'll learn the hard way. Best eaten with unsweetened hot coffee. Here's the long review: Parfait Paris has been consistent with their cakes; I've been visiting them every time whenever I'm close to one for about 2 years. There are multiple locations; I've been to Carmel/Del Mar; Coronado, and Fashion Valley. I don't really stay to eat; I usually grab a couple of slices (avg price is $13/slice) and slowly savor it at home with black coffee. All I can say is that this bakery knows their flavors and textures. The bakery offers pastries, macarons, and other desserts but if you're undecided, get the cake. Esp if you love (like really love) chocolate. I've stuck to 2 cakes: Le Signature- has a light chocolate mousse filling with a shortbread crust and dark chocolate glaze. Le Noisette- an employee there once told me it was like a Ferrero Rocher but a cake version. Accurate description but so understated. The mousse filling is chef's kiss. The monthly special: The London Cake: it's definitely an upgraded version of a dark chocolate cake. Filled whipped caramel filling and chocolate cream; it was balanced and sweet but not in a way that makes your teeth scream. This is the cake that had me question all the chocolate cakes I've had in my life; and the one where I go back the next day, like literally drive the extra mile(s), to get another slice. A little bias here but I've tried the mango bliss cake in the past. Decent flavors and texture as described but not as impressed as their chocolate ones. I've had my fair share of eating lots of (chocolate) cake in SD and LA; this place is def always on my list.

We actually picked up our cake tasting with them, and even without a sit‑down space, they still made the experience feel special and thoughtful. The presentation was beautiful, the flavors were incredible, and it was honestly hard to choose just a few items because everything tasted so good. Among friends and family, I'm known as the baker, so my expectations for our dessert bar were very high. I wanted everything to feel elevated, unique, and absolutely delicious--and only Heritage & Co. met that bar. I wish they had a bakery storefront so we could go back every time we're in San Diego! Aubrey was very responsive and helped us work with our budget while still giving us exactly what we wanted. The cake and dessert bar were stunning, and our guests couldn't stop raving about them.

They don't have a lot of seating inside the cafe, but there are lots of tables and chairs outside at the plaza area. We were incredibly happy and super impressed with every single thing we got--from the drinks, to the desserts, to the famous halo-halo. Everything was delicious and perfectly balanced in flavor; none of them were overly sweet or bland. Here's everything we tried: ORIGINAL HALO-HALO: 9/10 This one was the more traditional version, having the brown sugar milk base with ube ice cream on top. It was really good, a little more on the sweet side. But I just loved and preferred the upside down version more. UPSIDE DOWN HALO-HALO: 10/10 This one had the ube base with vanilla ice cream on top. I loved this one so much more than the original. I really liked how the ube flavor stood out. I just think this one was more balanced compared to the original. UBE MATCH LATTE: 9.5/10 I love that the ube flavor was prominent enough here that you can really taste it with the matcha. None of the two overpowered the other--it was the perfect balance. It wasn't too sweet either. I also appreciate that they did not charge an additional fee for any of their milk substitutes. UBE BUTTER BAR: 9/10 This dessert tastes *so much* like the ube halaya we have and LOVE in the Philippines. Ultimate *chef's kiss*! UBE CRACK CHEESECAKE: 9.5/10 Creamy and luscious with a really good amount of ube flavor! Would gladly have another piece of this dessert, or five. UBE LECHE FLAN CUPCAKE: 7/10 I had high hopes for this one, but the leche flan on top was not as soft and bouncy as a leche flan should be. I found it a bit dry, like it was sitting out for way too long. The cupcake was okay--good ube flavor, but a bit dense and dry too. MILO CUPCAKE: 9.5/10 This one was really good--the cupcake was moist and fluffy with a great amount of chocolate flavor. I think the Milo was only in the icing, but I only got a slight hint of it there. Still very very tasty though! Overall, this was by far the best and most Filipino-tasting ube I've ever had here in the US--and we've had a lot of ube here. Will definitely be back!

Yes, please! * Ube Tres Leches: Ube sponge cake soaked in coconut milk, evaporated milk, and condensed ube milk, topped with whipped ube halaya. I usually ask for the cashew topping on the side. * Ube Crack Cheesecake: Ube cheesecake sitting on a buttery SkyFlakes crust! * Ube Monster Shake: My favorite drink, with Oreos on the bottom. Because apparently, I need to drink my ube while I eat my ube, too! Non-ube lovers, don't fret. This shop offers other flavors in drinks, pastries, and sandwiches. Discount and Freebies: They offer a free drink (Hibiscus) with a Yelp check-in and a military discount. Service: Always great! Who wouldn't be happy serving up such ubelicious treats that bring happiness to everyone who tries it :) Seating and Parking: A few seats are inside, with more tables outside, though the outdoor seating is shared with the other business. Free parking is available, and there's plenty of parking, too! Where: It's tucked away, so you have to look for it. It's located in the Plaza Sorrento strip mall. If you're facing Subway and Nanay's Best BBQ, walk through the food court walkway; it's on your left. If you're on the other side, look for the water fountain near Charminar Indian Restaurant, and it's toward the back. If you're ube-obsessed like me, you'll understand why I keep coming back! It's ubelicious.
