The difference between the Biscoff and the original seems to be the Nilla wafer vs Biscoff wafer inside the pudding. I came at opening and there is a little bench and table inside, but most/all people buy and bring home. I came back later in the day to buy some for my friends and they liked it too. I would like to try other flavors like the red velvet if I'm in the area again.

Love me an all vegan bakery! Like most if not every place, there are goods better than others, but…read morethe ones that are good ... they're on my list of fav pastries of ALL TIME. Any of the cheese danishes (they have seasonal ones which are fun surprises), 1000000/10, the breakfast cookie 1000000/10, and the pan de muerto is to die for , with the light orange flavor. Some other good pastries are the conchas (I'm not a big fan of conchas but these ones are ) They don't have a store front anymore, but you can order online on their site, if you order before noon, you can pick them up next day

I have no words on how amazing these cookies are. Give me a sec while I wipe the drool from my…read moreface. I bought 10 dozen cookies for a large event. Boy were they thrilled to see those cookies roll in. Red velvet, oatmeal raisin, snickerdoole and of course, chocolate chips! Some people said the oatmeal raisins were the best they had. I think the chocolate chip cookies ranks top of the plate with all that chunky chocolate in there. Working with Dani is sooo easy. I booked these cookies online and let her know when the event was. Dani took it from there! You should definitely consider Dani from Choice Confections for your next baked goods needs. Anything from gifts to parties, it'll be a delicious choice.

I am not even a Vegan, not…read morethat there is anything wrong with that, but I just like to eat good food, which is certainly something you can find here when you visit. I visited several vendors for eat and to chat and learn about their trade. I certainly learned some and ate some good food like vegan adobada and a terrific vegan croissant. All the vendors were very nice happy to provide Vegan treats. Being held at a parking lot at Grossmont Mall, parking is plentiful and access is easy.

How can you show anything but 100% love for the First Friday Night Market AND Vegan In San Diego?!?…read more Here's the things people complain about: (1) it's tooooo faaaar from where I work, live, play, get my hair cut, shop for groceries, take my dog to the park, or whatever excuse they have. Whelp, I have a solution for that...plan your OWN Vegan Festival and it can be wherever you want it to be! Until then, this is the best thing to happen to the San Diego Vegan scene since...ever! and (2) the lines are too looooong. I get there when it opens and there are zero lines. So, there you have it: problems solved. Either drive to where it is or plan your own and if you don't, get there when it starts. I am gracious and thankful that people are VOLUNTEERING their time to put on this awesome vegan festival and coordinating with the mall and vendors. It's held the first Friday of each month. Follow @veganinsandiego for all the details. See you there!

Taking tea at Aubrey Rose Tea Room is a special-occasion sort of thing for me. It's the kind of…read moreplace I bring out-of-town family members, arrange celebrations, or meet a friend for a once-a-year tea. It's not somewhere I go every day, but I love it as a special-occasion spot. The tea room itself is a lovely, feminine space full of antiques, and their mismatched china is charming. Their tea menu is extensive, high-quality, and always changing. The Afternoon Tea is delicious and surprisingly filling. Each item on the three-tiered tray -- the little crème brûlées, savory scones, finger foods -- is tiny, but there are so many of them that it adds up to a lot of food. I've never managed to finish it. They offer two seatings a day, and the Afternoon Tea is the only one you can reserve. They also have a Cream Tea, smaller and less elaborate but just as tasty, available on a space-available basis. They don't have a kitchen certified for gluten-free, dairy-free, or vegan preparation, but I know from experience that if you call ahead, they'll do their best to accommodate special diets. They also host special holiday events -- a Mother's Day tea, and a season of holiday teas from late November through just after the new year. My one wish: I'd love the ability to reserve something smaller than the Afternoon Tea -- maybe a limited number of Cream Tea reservations, or a new "Parlour Tea" or "Petite Tea" option. Right now the only thing reservable is the big, elaborate option, and I'd love to be able to schedule a smaller treat for myself once in a while. I'm thinking of something I could reserve ahead -- so I could plan a day around it -- but that's smaller and less elaborate than the full Afternoon Tea. Five stars, and a favorite place for celebrating something special.

It's pretty. Yes. I adore going to tea rooms. While we were there, we ran into a few issues. I…read morewas there for a bridal tea. They ran out of large tea pots so took ours and replaced them with small. They didn't come by to refill them, and as we were a large party of 12... Not all the food seemed that "fresh" and was very scone/incredibly sweet heavy. Maybe I've been to tea in England too many times, but they even sweetened the clotted cream. The sandwiches were lackluster at best. Our reservation was from 11-1:30? As soon as 1 pm hit they were packing up our things. OK. That's fine. But why are other tables allowed to stay longer? Our main waitress was very nice and even helped take photos of our group. Overall: come for the vibes amd the tea.

Food-: Best quality & taste in Ice-Cream Products…read moreever! Choc-Chip & Mint Choc-Chip are my favs. The size, shape & texture of BR's choc-chips reign over all others. Samples are generously offered; tried the Dubai Choc. Inspired was yummm! Service: This is where BR excels-Tyfani (sp?) consistently delivers; packing my fresh pack frozen delights, always helpful& efficient (with a genuine smile). Value: BR remains worth the price of fresh, flavorful & sweetness-balanced frozen treats. Ambience: Nostalgic vibe, exquisitely spotless shop with sm tables inside for patrons to enjoy their tasty frozen selections. ***Highly recommend this well managed La Mesa Store where Tyfani represents the best of Baskin Robins.

I tried the Baklava Cheesecake, and wow--it was one of the best cheesecakes I've ever had. The combination of creamy cheesecake and the rich, sweet flavors of baklava was incredible.

To top it all off, I ordered a caramel latte, and it was amazing. The coffee was smooth, flavorful, and paired perfectly with the desserts. The customer service was excellent, and everyone was friendly and welcoming. If you're in the neighborhood, do yourself a favor and stop by. You definitely won't be disappointed.
