We come for the luxury cakes and exquisite desserts by the slice, but that’s not all that Extraordinary Desserts offers. They also have a large menu of savory sandwiches, espresso drinks and coffees, charcuterie, dips and an extensive variety of exotic tea leaves. The cakes are on rotation, so the wonderful Tiramisu Torte cake I enjoyed last time was unavailable this trip, but I bravely soldiered on and selected a slice of the Tres Leches cake and a slice of the decadent chocolate La Bete Noir. If you are feeling a hankering for something sweet after a nice dinner out, Extraordinary Dessert is a must stop.

Not only are the desserts visually beautiful, they are well made and delicious. The frozen hot chocolate was a balance of sweet and texture. Definitely a place for great desserts.

Always a good place to get desserts. We wanted to buy everything! They look so pretty with the flower petals and icing. We settled into 4 different desserts and had it to-go. We were satisfied and happy with all of them. It's perfect with their coffee or tea. Service is fast and friendly. The restaurant is also very cozy, clean and spacious.

Never disappointed by the amazing cakes! Made from scratch with quality ingredients and love. From the presentation to the plate presentation. Black Velvet is my favorite. Definitely give it a try. Pride ice cream was a combination of mango, blue dyed vanilla, and more!

Best place for luxurious fine pastries and desserts. This has been a local staple for birthday cakes or just because. They adorn their desserts with fresh flowers and pretty aesthetics. But it’s not just pretty, it is delicious as well! I highly recommend coming in for some Balinese coffee and a pastry. My favorite??? Any of their danishes, cakes and brownie/cheesecake

We ordered four slices of different cakes for our afternoon tea time. If you're visiting San Diego, this dessert place is definitely worth a shot!👍👍👍👍 Parking at street. Metered parking is within 4 minutes walking distance. They serve alcoholic drinks, too. Make sure you don't drink and drive.☺️☺️ Service is awesome! The atmosphere inside of the store is very unique. And of course, seating is limited.

This is not the first time I've been to this place, and the desserts here are like a work of art. Incredibly beautiful presentation, large portions. Each piece of dessert is served very exquisitely. The desserts are always fresh and delicious. There is a large selection here, but sometimes in the evening you may not be able to buy your favorite dessert because they are quickly sold out 😍. I like the atmosphere here. Nice music plays not loudly. Lots of seats inside and outside. The staff is friendly and helpful. I had a matcha latte here before and it was good enough. Today I tried the carrot cake and it is very tasty. It was flavored with mango and caramel syrups. I recommend everyone to visit this place🩷

First time visiting. This is the place that you go to for special occasions, just because, after a romantic date, or just looking for a luxurious dessert spot. Absolutely beautiful inside and out. Nothing I have ever seen out of a dessert restaurant in all of San Diego. They are doing all the desserts with red rose petals (Which are not edible by the way trust me I’ve tried and it taste sour). They also have array of different desserts So you will definitely find something for you and yours there. I got the birthday Cookie and the twist on tiramisu. The birthday cookie was five out of five stars. It was one of the best birthday cookies I’ve ever had. But the tiramisu was not as good as I thought it would be; it was more whipped cream on top and soggy on the bottom. The birthday cookie was $7 And the tiramisu was $17. Overall, a good experience and I definitely recommend. I’ll be back to try other things.

Heaven for those with a sweet tooth. It’s on the pricier side but there is a plethora of desserts, from cakes to cookies to pastries. They have savory food too but my boyfriend and I just came for cake when we came. We tried the shangrila and the truffle framboise (so we had both white and dark chocolate). Both cakes were delicious and decadent - we had leftovers. I preferred the truffle framboise; it’s like the American version of sacher-torte. One cake can easily feed two to three people. You order and pay at the counter, and then they bring out your order. Indoor and outdoor seating available. We walked here but it looked like there was limited street parking. Credit cards accepted. They had a self-service water station. It’s a very popular spot but since we went before lunch (don’t judge) there wasn’t a wait.

Love this bakery because no matter what you eat, it’s always extraordinarily delicious! We had the lemon bars and passion fruit ricotta cake. To die for!

Not what it used to be. I visited this dessert shop on 4th Avenue expecting something special, as it used to have a unique charm. While it looks like the business has expanded, the selection now feels limited and pretty standard—nothing really caught my attention or made me want to try it. The store feels a bit cold and empty, and there isn’t much in terms of service. The atmosphere is fine, but overall, the experience just didn’t leave much of an impression.

This has been a long time favorite but I hadn't been in years. It's always been a popular spot but, WOW! I loved they still have some old favorites w the same signature style that makes it a Krasne dessert. Still super pricey! I live the crispy chocolate chip cookie. Every chocolate dessert will be super rich. I, personally, also enjoy The Parisienne Danish. The custard in that is amazing! The desserts are all stunning to look at as well. Plenty of drink options. Offers sandwiches and salads. Outdoor seating. Parking will be hard. It will be busy

Updated review: Because I had such a wonderful experience the first two times I went here, I brought in guests and was disappointed. A feast for the eyes, yes. But the taste was terribly off. None of the fruits were ripe at all, instead they were super sour and hard as a rock. My son got the Pavlova and the mango was so sour and hard it ruined the entire dessert. The kiwi-lemonade was beyond sour- it was bitter and undrinkable. The berries on my scone were also sour and unripe. The entire experience and all four desserts were a terrible disappointment. It should be about flavors; seasonal, fresh, delicate, and sweet - not just about visual presentation. This visit was ONE STAR because all four, and the drink, and the tap water was just disgusting. Very disappointed when quality cannot be counted on. Original 5 star review: Extraordinary Desserts truly delivers! I had the strawberry scone, and it was absolutely delicious—flaky, buttery, and bursting with fresh strawberry flavor. The perfect balance of texture and sweetness. Beautiful presentation, great atmosphere, and an overall must-visit spot for dessert lovers!

I keep buying cakes here because it's been a tradition for years, but I've been disappointed about the quality. At least 60% of these cakes are whipped cream. I can't serve a slice. A cup and a spoon works better.

Nothing special at all. The cakes look very beautiful, and the display looks nice. Basically, it's just a storefront with seating outside. I was surprised how comfortable the seating was, considering that it was all cement. My friends and I each ordered something different and shared. To me, the best thing I tasted was the coffee. The atmosphere was lacking, and the service was mediocre at best. Very expensive, not worth it. Parking is very challenging.

Extremely disappointing food and dismissive service — not worth the luxury price We really wanted to love Extraordinary Desserts and have visited twice now, hoping our first experience was just an off night. Unfortunately, the high price tag continues to feel disconnected from both the quality of the food and the level of service. On our first visit, we ordered the Pavlova, which was so hard and stale that we couldn't even cut through it with a knife. Giving them the benefit of the doubt, we returned and tried the Crème Brûlée Bun. It was even worse—the bread was dry and incredibly hard, as if it had been sitting out for three days. We had to carve out sections to eat from it. Honestly, the quality was lower than what you’d find at a budget grocery store. To make matters worse, the staff has a distinct attitude. Instead of the warm, high-end hospitality you expect at these prices, the service felt dismissive and cold. At $20+ per person , you expect a celebratory experience, but we left feeling like an inconvenience. We won't be returning. There are plenty of other high-end dessert spots that offer actual fresh food and a welcoming atmosphere.

Genuinely horrible price to performance ratio. Lemon bar ice cream felt synthetically lemon flavored. The cream inside the pastry was not oozing out, it was semi-solid/curdled, probably cooked a bit too far. The pastry was not flaky and layered; instead it crumbled into very small and thick chunks easily. The cherry chocolate chip cookie was not soft; literally subway can make better cookies. All of this on top of a price that is simply too high; i would be okay to pay these prices if the food was inventive and high quality. In fact, while the desserts with the petals look fancy, the petals are literally just petals and for instagram. Fine, keep the instagram worthy petals but at least give us good flaky pastry… sorry but truly awful.
