I had read so many good things about Extraordinary Desserts that I couldn't wait to eat there during our recent visit to San Diego. My husband and I were staying in the Downtown area and walked the few blocks from our hotel to the restaurant to try their breakfast pastries and coffee. Since the restaurant is located in a bustling... more

Our family of 4 really enjoyed this restaurant - we went there for dessert on a hot afternoon in July. The waitress was friendly and very pleasant, bringing us cold drinks right away while we surveyed the large glass display cases trying to make a decision. My 9-year-old had the brownie ice cream sundae (it was way too huge for... more

This review is limited b/c we tried only one dessert. When you get there on a weekday evening (we arrived around 9 pm), there is a line practically out the door waiting for service, that's how popular this place is. It took us about 15 minutes to be served. Desserts look really decedant and range from fruit tarts and chocolate... more

Oh my god, I ordered the Au Chocolate Cake, It was the best chocolate cake I ever had. The chocolate mouse and the ganache frosting just took this yummy cake over the top. I was traveling with my puppy, so I wasn't able to eat in the resaurant, but take out time was very fast. I'm home now and wish... more

The desserts here will wow you - the creations here are peerless in San Diego. The bill will also wow you, so save this spot for really special occasions. Also be prepared to wait in line to order at the counter. Seating is slightly limited as well. more

The desserts are so beautiful there were people recording video as they walked the length of the dessert counter. But besides rich and lovely desserts, there are tapas, a wine menu, and a good tea and coffee menu. A small pot of tea, a mocha cappuccino, and one dessert ran us $20. Service wasn't great, but we were there at... more
