I look forward to the Hillcrest farmers market specifically for Pappanini. The same guy is always there and always in a good mood. I always get the breakfast bacon. The bread has the perfect crunch for this sandwich. The cheese is ooey gooey and delicious. Always a vibe because of course the people at the farmers market.

Located at the Hillcrest farmers market on Sunday. Will was so nice and so happy. He was smiling the entire time and honestly felt genuine. My first time trying the panini since I've been eyeing it for awhile. It was a total of about 16 bucks without tip. He was very busy so you know it's delicious! Farmers market is popular so busy parking of course is a hit or miss. The earlier the better or come mid day when ppl are done.i ordered the capri chicken and it was so good im going to dream about it!! It was a good size. You can cut it in half and share or eat it all. It is well stuffed the topping and chicken are hanging off the sides which means they aren't stingy. It's a must try!!!

Visited during a bachelorette trip, and this spot was easily the highlight of our visit. I've never had a more delicious panini absolutely incredible. The gentleman at the register was friendly, attentive, and made sure every order was handled perfectly. The service and quality here are truly top tier. I'll definitely be coming back!

I should have purchased the Beurre d'Isigny butter here rather than going to Paris, buying Bordier butter vacuum sealed butter, having the hotel freeze it, then paying extra for check in luggage since it's a colder storage area. Cuisenery didn't have Bordier butter but when I was doing my online research, I found that both of the brands I mentioned are pretty good. I actually liked my Beurre d'Isigny butter better, but that's more likely due to it being unsalted versus the salted version I bought in Paris (apparently, you MUST use salted on your bread per the Parisians). They also had a bunch of other frozen foods and condiments, including frozen escargot in puff pastry, frozen baguettes, mustards, and jams.

From cheeses, meats, breads, a pretty extensive frozen section, there are so many treasures you can find here.

Partly because I was gonna be out all day and didn't want the food sitting in my car. But definitely if I plan better next time I'm in San Diego I wanna buy stuff to bring back home. Just a gem of a find. There also seems to be plenty of parking in the area as we parked pretty much right out front.

Point Loma is one of those places since it has a certain charm to it. Don'tcha think!? *It's very historical and strongly tied to those who serve or have served our country.

Especially since the NAVY is right there in town. *The market hosts many different food and small business vendors all in one hall. Truly a hidden gem and so glad they opened up the space to share with those business owners. *You can visit larger restaurants establishments in the very near vicinity as well.

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.

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.

Please note they are a tad greasy and again, large. So don't come in for just a snack! The meat on both were the superstars. They also are a full butchery (they even have a subscription box!). So there are meats in the case and marinated options galore. We came for breakfast but left with some chicken and red meat options for dinner this week. It's a tad expensive for both sandwiches and the meats but all in all seem right for the quality. Service was also fast and friendly. Very knowledgeable and ready to help.
