We went late morning on July 4 (so might have been busier than usual), but waited maybe 25 mins? Then easily found seating right away. Environment: modern building with a single room style of bathroom, as well as indoor and outdoor seats. It is in a turning area of San Diego I think (not from SD though so can't say much). A block away had some people lingering around and clothes thrown all over the sidewalk. And then another block would be super modern buildings. Interesting mix... Overall though, plenty of street parking! Food: got 4 diff things - hot dog July 4 Special: I didn't have but boyfriend said "pretty good and still crispy" - Strawberry Danish 4/5: good amount of strawberries and flavor. Also good texture too. - Pain Au Chocolate 4/5: am a huge lover of Pain Au Chocolate so I try to get it at any bakery I go to so I can compare. I'd say this one had good volume and flakiness but lacked the chocolate flavor. Wasn't much chocolate in it compared to ratio of the bread. - Orange Duck Swirl: 3.5/5: felt a bit oily to me and the duck flavor wasn't as strong as I would have liked. Wish there was a better balance between the orange and duck.

5* pastries, service. A foodie's dream- VAST assortment of creative pastries! The group before me…read morekindly waved me ahead because they knew they needed a lot more time to decide: My 3 picks today were : 1. Crab Rangoon croissant: a tweak of an American invention from the 50's. Crab Rangoon has nothing to do with Rangoon, Myanmar or Asia really. It was invented for Trader Vic's in California during the mid century "Tiki Craze" when South Pacific food and cocktails were all the rage. Cream cheese was non-existent in Asia but in the US it was combined with crab, Worcestershire etc, deep fried in wonton shells. Relic uses a buttery croissant case and baking instead of deep frying, but the result is just as crispy flaky and delicious! The crab filling is generous, decadent and delicious, especially with the sweet, sriracha-inspired jammy glaze on top. 5*!!! 2. Maple Miso kouign amann: these rich Breton pastries are how I discovered Relic almost a decade ago. They used to stock them at a cafe on University, and others, before they opened their place in Mira Mesa and long before the current store front. 3. Passion fruit guava cruffin- stuffed croissant pastry baked in muffin tins, invented in Australia 2013. I have a compulsion to order anything labeled with passionfruit or guava. Sweet and tart ate always a perfect combo. Loved all the food... not the space. Parking is rough- metered on the street only. And like every new place these days, it has the vaulted open ceiling plan which I hate! Too noisy, kids screaming and dogs barking just killed it. It's great for high energy people who don't mind all the machine noises and dishes and glass clinking. Staff is AMAZING! I hope they expand to a quieter second location with more parking. If anyone at Relic reads this, please open it in Kensington!!!

They stepped in seamlessly and were an absolute pleasure to work with during what could have been a very stressful time. The entire process was easy and smooth, and they truly delivered. Our two-tiered cake was not only beautiful but also absolutely delicious! We chose lemon tart cake and carrot cake for our flavors, and both were a huge hit with our guests. In fact, we were a little sad we didn't end up with any leftovers--but that just meant everyone loved it! Thank you to the team at SugarBear's for saving the day and creating a cake we'll never forget. Highly recommend!

If you're waiting in line or making the trip out, I'd highly recommend adding a cake or pastry to your order. We came on Saturday around 11:30am and there was a line outside that took about 30 minutes to get in. While we were waiting, we saw parking enforcement come around a few times so make sure that you pay the meter! The inside is soo cute! We ended up staying here for a bit and studying because it was super spacious and cozy. There is a lot of seating in the front and back and even outside too! A lot of people were there working as well. There are plenty of outlets available so that was nice. If you do plan on studying/working, just bring noise cancelling headphones cuz it does get loud. The biscoff matcha latte was pretty sweet and the matcha flavor was not that strong but it was definitely a dessert more than a drink. Their cakes are pretty great too, I don't like cake but their cakes are worth trying. I liked the banana dessert the best though, it was like a banana pudding. My bf did say it was too sweet and he has a big sweet tooth, but I preferred that over the cake!

Hiya B.UM.S., If you…read moreever find yourself wandering through Downtown San Diego with a sudden craving for fresh cookies or ice cream, I have a place you simply need to check out: Milk & Cookies. We stopped by recently and got incredibly lucky--there was no line in sight, so we walked right up to order! The Cookies: Gooey, Crisp, & Perfectly Balanced My wife decided to try a trio of cookies, picking out Snickerdoodle, Peanut Butter Reese's, and classic Chocolate Chip. They completely nailed the texture. Every single cookie hit that golden sweet spot--warm and gooey in the middle with just the right amount of crisp edge. What really stood out was the balance of ingredients. Chocolate Chip: Perfectly measured so you get sweet chocolate in every bite without feeling overwhelmed by chips. Peanut Butter Reese's: An absolute dream ratio of rich peanut butter to chocolate peanut butter cups. Snickerdoodle: Perfectly spiced, striking just the right "snicker-to-doodle" balance! Of course, we couldn't leave without trying the ice cream. I ordered a combination of Cookie Monster and Campfire in a single scoop. The portion size was remarkably generous--it completely filled up the small cup and delivered a fantastic mix of flavors. My wife went with a scoop combining Espresso Oreo and Mint & Chip, which she thoroughly enjoyed. Overall, these were easily some of the best desserts we've had in a very long time. Whether you're a local or just exploring the downtown area, Milk & Cookies is well worth a visit.
