Great desserts and coffee! Had a carmel iced lattee and my daughter had a fruity pebbles boba drink. Both tasted good. Had raspberry dessert and carrot cake and presentation was so pretty with whip cream and a few flowers. Staff was very friendly!

The cakes look like work of art!

Cute little cafe tucked into the corner of a shopping plaza- ample parking, indoor and outdoor seating and free WiFi. Add to that pretty good drip coffee (I didn't try any of the fancier drinks) and delicious baked goods- you have a winner! The staff is very nice, not pushy but happy to answer questions. PS- This place is a must visit if you are in the area and need a coffee break! They have an ice cream/gelato machine but it was broken when we visited.

Pastry and cheesecakes
Abigail P.

I really enjoyed this spot The ambaince is nice because it is sort of tucked away in the corner. The matcha iced tea is so delicious, and their terrimesu is delicious. Next time I come back I need to try the cheesecakes because they look so good. I got a bagel with cream cheese and the bagel was too toasted for my liking, and I think I saw a sign they make their own bagels and they were just okay. Also we told the worker we were staying in and they gave us our food in to go containers, idk if that's normal but I wanted to feel relaxed and enjoy to stay but instead I felt a tad pushed out. I do want to go back to try some of the food and other drinks

Stopped in on the way to a dinner party and picked up some cheesecakes. Nice selection of mini cheesecakes. Service was great. Shop has several selections along with coffee and drinks. Decent sized place with seating.

Disintegrating brown sugar boba from Thai tea

Went in for a Thai tea boba and got distracted with the desserts case. The cashier said they were from a local bakery in San Diego. When asked which one she said she's not allowed to say. The Thai tea with boba was watery and way too sweet. The worst part was that the boba was mushy and way too soft. It practically disintegrated I my mouth! Yuck, one of the worst bobas I have ever drank.

Berry cheese tart

I stop by here regularly since I get a haircut nearby and I really enjoy the coffee and desserts here! The inside is a very cute vibe and the workers here are always so nice! They have a good selection of your regular coffee shop pastries but also a lot of great cakes and gelato Definitely recommend if you're looking for a sweet treat

Tokyo Toast
Alexandria W.

I really like this cafe! The coffee and toast were really good. I had the LaVa Latte one day and the Vietnamese coffee the next and both were amazing. I really liked the toast options, I had the Tokyo toast one day and the chimichurri toast the other and both were really good. The workers both days I was there were all really nice, friendly, and helpful. The cafe was also really nice with lots of table space, free WiFi, outlets, and even a printing station. I didn't get a chance to try any of the desserts but they looked really cool!

Skybound Coffee + Dessert Lounge was a great afternoon stop for coffee. They had a nice selection of desserts -- all looked delicious! Unfortunately, they weren't serving gelato at the time, which was a bit of a letdown. Still a cozy spot with tempting treats.

Been here many times and it never disappoints. Their beverages, coffee, teas, gelato & pastries are consistently delicious and on point. We've never been disappointed or left unsatisfied. The service is consistently good, the employees have been friendly and the drinks always come out in a timely manner. Also, great layout as far as seating. There's 4 different areas. Outdoor out in front, inside on couches, in the middle of the place there's tables and finally a high top counter with bar stools facing the outside window. Definitely a place where to can just chill, do school work or work. It's a hidden gem that we love going to. Highly recommend!

this place is really nice so is their Customer Service. The woman Maggie who helped me was very kind and patient the desserts look delicious. They are definitely gourmet and more upscale perfect for the dinner party. I was heading to. It was my brother's 50th birthday. He loved everything that I got especially the lemon Tart

Gelato
N M.

Ok this place is cute! Nice to catch up with a friend, bring a date or go alone and work on your lap top. If you go M-F near the afternoon, get ready for a surge of High Schoolers. So if you're looking for a quiet cafe, M-F it's not ideal. Place was clean. The bathrooms could use a freshen up for sure. I'm sure due to the homeless, it's locked so you must ask for one of the 3 kitchen utensils attached to a key to gain entry. Flamango Smoothie was a 10/10! Tart, refreshing and that color! Tried the avocado toast. Bread was delicious. It was missing something. Not sure what but it did its job. All the pastries and gelatos look divine! I look forward to my next return!

Is this place study friendly? Will I be able to take my laptop/books and do some homework(I don't mind the noise)?

Yes! I see students here all the time. The window seats along the side are helpful for not getting distracted facing the rest of the coffee shop. It's not noisy either; just some quirky elevator music!

The Birria itself was very tender, flavorful and moist. The churros of course were very good and fresh considering they fry it to order in a purpose made churro machine. I have to give a big shout out to the worker I had when I was there who I'm assuming was the owner. He made sure that everything was tasting good and that I was satisfied with everything.

I love churros, and they make theirs fresh while you wait, which makes it so much better then getting a churro that's been sitting under a heater and drying out. They have several varieties of churros and different ways that you can order them. They also serve soft serve vanilla ice cream. We got the vanilla soft serve along with the bag of churros, which contains three of them. They came out piping hot and fresh, covered and that delicious cinnamon sugar. They were excellent and paired with the ice cream, it was a nice treat. The ice cream had a good texture but did taste a bit artificial, but i definitely still enjoyed it. Bottom line, of you look he churros this is your spot. They also serve food, which we unfortunately didn't get to try on this visit. They do have a small parking lot in the back and also some tables outside to sit on.

Is that celery salt sprinkled all over? Excellent ranch dressing!! Not the industrial junk out of a jug. Service was good all around.

Yeah, it's old, food is "ok' (3-stars but it's preliminary an ice cream place), it's a bit 'ghetto' and you need to pay attention as to when your order is ready (they won't call names, only orders) but it's Vista's institution! Serving perfect old fashioned soft serves, shakes and a variety of very affordable frozen treats (4 stars). Kids love this place. There is always a line and a bit of a wait. Service is mediocre at best. But... 5 stars because that's the local businesses we need and can't let go away: Vista greedy city hall is about to let it be demolished to build condos... Huge plus for: burger with special sauce, fresh fries, soft serves and banana splits!!!

Cinnamon roll - best Ive had out of all the ones I've had in CA and AZ. They do not cut corners and even use brown butter for their cinnamon sugar filling! Cruffins - fun to look at and fun to eat; can't go wrong with any of them! Cookies - white chocolate macadamia nut, chocolate chip, gluten-less chocolate cookies ... now these are cookies! If I had to bet, I'm pretty sure they weigh as much or even more than the famous NY Levain cookies.

Came on a Saturday noon, and it was not too busy. All the pastries were laid out for you to see and…read morethey all looked super yummy. The store is small and there's no seating. The pastries are definitely on the higher-priced side and we weren't too hungry, so we opted for the strawberry croissant since it was the last one left. I was hoping to try their cinnamon roll, as it looked amazing and had a selection of flavors to pick from. The lady who helped us was friendly and packed the croissant for me, and we took it to go. The strawberry croissant had some vanilla cream along with strawberry slices in the center cut of the croissant. The cream was nice, light, and not overly sweet, which tasted great with the strawberry. The croissant was a little disappointing, as it wasn't flaky, very dense, and on the softer side. It still had a good buttery flavor but overall it was mid. As we continued eating, I ended up chewing on something plasticky, and I believe it might have been the front cut of a plastic piping bag. I'm glad it was a fairly small piece or else I probably would have swallowed it...It is disappointing that a big piece of plastic ended up in the cream where no one had caught it during the process of making 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.

This is a long overdue review for Water Shack. I stumbled upon this place a few years ago when I…read morewas craving a no frills mom & pop style burger. 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!
