Although this is one of two locations, this location being just north of Downtown in Little Italy, is the most popular of the two. And althought the food is more then exquised, my visits to the location found something lacking.YUMMY!!
The dessert was great and SO pretty! Almost too pretty to eat. There was a large selection to choose from. I live 2 hours away and every time I'm in the area, I make it part of my plans to eat dessert here.Terrible Service
I'm hoping that we went on a terrible night, but it was definitely overcrowded. You could not view the dessert selection. There wasn't much to view since the cases were practically empty. I was overcharged by $70plus on my credit card, which I'm waiting for a refund and a return call since our visit was 3 nights ago. I usually love going here, but the night I took some guests was not pleasant. It took over an hour for our desserts to get to the table, on top of that, we placed a sandwich order, that the waiter did not have down, so we told him to forget about re-ordering it.my favorite place for kona coffee with dessert
i love the union street location best. love the modern decor.Excellent Cheese and Wine, Amazing Desserts!
I've been to the Union St. location about 1,000 times and always have a consistently positive experience. From large birthday gatherings to coffee with a friend to happy hour after work - I have never been disappointed. Their desserts are their namesake - and are truly Extraordinary in taste and presentation. However, their wine and cheese selection is excellent, as are their appetizers - interesting flavor combinations. The staff is knowledgeable and helpful, although some do come with a little attitude to match the modern Asian-inspired decor. But hey, it's not TGI Fridays, right? They are always accommodating - even when I brought my baby and she was fussing, the waitress offered to package our entire dinner and desserts AND wine to go in these adorable packages.I <3 Extraordinary desserts
Extraordinary Desserts makes me wish I lived in San Diego. the menu is ever changing with inventive desserts from lemon creme brulee to fruit tarts. Everything is decadent and takes you to Paris. The owner Karen also teaches classes "kitchen secrets" to a select few on the email distribution list. I will make special trips to SD to go here & it is a requirement if i happen to be in SD! The decor is open & urban like a loft with a long bar. They have a large variety of teas & now have a large retail counter to buy some of the special hard to find products to take home. Its by the gas lamp district so there is always a great corwd. Although if you go on a saturday night, you may need to wait 45m for a table, yes for dessert.Decadence to share
On the recommendation of a co-worker, I stopped in at Extraordinary Desserts after a relaxing weekend in SD. Truthfully, we drove by on Sunday night and the line was still out the door...so Monday morning it was. As we were leaving town, I ordered a mix of five desserts to enjoy at home. Needless to say, the lemon tart didn't even make it to the on-ramp of the 5 freeway. It was wonderfully tart and refreshing. I've loaded pics of the other items we brought home and all look delectable. I can tell you the prices might make you gasp out loud, but when you realize most desserts can easily serve two, you'll give a sigh of relieve. The staff was extremely friendly and patient with my indecision...something I'm sure they're used to, actually. The woman who helped me this morning even named her favorite, so I added it to my "to go" box of goodies. I definitely will make a stop in when we're in SD next...I'll need to try that lemon brulee I saw in the display...and maybe a nice salad & cup of tea.Worldwide > United States > San Diego, CA > Restaurants
