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. Recommendations: Viking Cake paired with Kona Coffee or a glass of Pinot Pros: Tantalizing menu, knowledgeable staff Cons: service OK

i love the union street location best. love the modern decor. i go for one of two reasons: 1. i have a sweet-tooth -- which means i get kona coffee just for myself and one crazy large delicious dessert. 2. i have my savory-tooth -- which means i must have their grilled cheese sandwich with sundried tomatoes and green olive tapenade with either soup or salad. MMMMMmmmmm..... Pros: crazy insane desserts! Cons: can be overcrowded

The cheesecake here is absolutely delicious! This restaurant is sophisticated with modern decorations. While every sweet delicacy they sell here is tasty and exquisite, I can't quite say that I love all the desserts except for the cheesecake. One star is taken off because the price is expensive for what it is, and not to mention they add all sorts of extra things like flower petals and fruit, when all I want is the cake! Also the selection is not extensive, and they don't always have the cheesecake there.... but overall I still look forward to coming to this place. Must try out if you've never been here before!

I have just gotten back from going to your little italy for dessert. It was a sickening experience after seeing a couple of mice in your restaurant. We let our waiter know His name (Nelson L) said oh yeahh those are our friends!! Are you kidding me is this a way to run a restaurant. Sick!! I understand that in some countries mice/rats are a delicacy but here please that is just gross. After that comment from our waiter it is my understanding that they do not care about the cleanliness and quality of the desserts. sure it might taste good but not with a rat in it. Just writing this as to warn other might be customers not to get grossed out like we did by seeing mice around extraordinary desserts and contacting the San diego Health department. My compliments on the Tea Mice Droppings, Triple Chocolat Mice, passion fruit mice, Torta misu mice!!

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. If you must eat overpriced dessert, then go in the afternoon when the place is practically empty. Pros: A place to ooo and aaahh some out of town guests. Cons: Crowded weekends, Overpriced, snooty staff

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. The only downside to this place is its pricey and busy busy busy!! Pros: Great Dessert and Large Selection Cons: Pricey, busy and loud (on weekends and at night).

This place makes me fat. Someone needs to wrap their arms around my big big butt, swing me around in circles and scream, Time for Atkins, Tubby!

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. I personally go for the coffee, which is %100 Kona bean, as opposed to a Kona and Arabian Bean blend. This coffee is arguably as good as that you get in Hawaii. Furthermore, the desserts are what the place is named for, and what one should go for. The vast majority of the dishes are well made, well decoraded, and top notch. Of course, as with all food items, there are some that miss their mark. But for all the great food . . . the service is done without a smile . . . in a manor that gives great discredit to the food and ambiance. So take it to go. Pros: Desserts, Coffee Cons: Parking, Service

Extrodinary desserts is the greatest dessert place ever. The prices are high but it's worth it. They have cake by the slice or to take home, cookies, scones, brownies, cobblers etc. They also have great tea. You can sit with a pot of tea and some cake and be in heaven. They stay open late at night.
