A fun spot for afternoon tea , coffee and sweet fix. The best gourmet dark chocolate bars (mixed with all kinds of varietals ). A good place to cater an event or to find gifts in the form of sweets.

Mark Rondeau

Always enjoy coming here for special occasions & to satisfy the occasional chocolate cravings. This one is smaller, more intimate than their other location, but I enjoy both equally. Friendly staff .

John Ho

The Shangri-La is amazing. I'm not a cake person or a cream fan at all but dang this was something else. The guava heaven whatever it was sauce make it <3 be back soon. 100% kona was good too

Aylin

Here is the first branch of ED and it has great atmosphere with its garden . My best hit is passion fruit ricotta cake . Awesome! If you like fruits and white chocolate mousse ,you must try

Mohammed

One of the desserts well known places, has lots of desserts choices, pastries and drinks. Recommend.

Edward Forte

The gianduia and lemon ricotta are must tries. Super moist cakes and great presentations with the sauces, flowers , and gold leaf. Nice date place

For your 1st trip, study the cake menu online before visiting - - it will make your decision easier once you get there. Gianduia is my fave! Plan on sharing a slice, as they are all VERY rich cakes !

Raj Patel

You can never go wrong here....especially with chocolate cake and their awesome coffee . The froissant (deep fried croissant ) is stomache-ache good too.

Kimberly S

Presentation is absolutely beautiful! Blood orange ricotta cake is moist. The chocolate bread pudding is delicious as well . I just want to keep eating dessert all day... :)

All the cakes and desserts here are delicious. Bring your friends so you can try everything!

Donna ???? K

First time here. I treated my brother and nephew and we all really enjoyed it! I would recommend this place to others! ????

Karina R

Everything!!! A must when going to San Diego

Alice Ferris

Try the Chocolate Lava Bun - Took a bunch of photos of the desserts I wanted, but I couldn't eat them all. This was one-I didn't taste it, but I'm sure I'd love it.

This place makes cake like my wedding cake 17 years ago. Beautiful, real flowers adorn each dessert . WOW. Amazing place. A must do. :-)

Irma Shute

Amazing desserts ! Rich chocolates , fresh fruits . There may be a long line but it's worth the wait.

John Adkins

Don't let long lines put you off. If you are with a group have someone scout a table right away. Then have someone check the pastry case past the register - that's where the freshest desserts are.

Michael K.

Good desserts but the lines can be extremely long. Even late at night. Wish they would put the dessert window. Afore the end so people can see what they want.

Serious Eats

Go here for over-the-top desserts that hold nothing back, including elegant cakes sold by the slice.

Carolyn Manalac

Top picks: carrot creme brulee cake (delicious)and banana cream tart(fun to eat!)! The lady even hooked it up with a discount ! Score! Also desserts are not incredibly sugary/sweet.

rosa fernandez

The place is nice and the selection looks nice and pretty. The flavor however... I had the chocolate with ganache cake ..dry. Croissant .. Too flaky.

Roger Ma

Been coming here for years and this place never ceases to please! Great place to bring out of town guests or a date (she better be hot =p).

Latifah AlThunayan

Beautiful cake presentation and it so delicious..

Lauren Bates

Everything here is great! I had to come back multiple times for their hot cocoa .

Sal

Extraordinary cakes here. They are unique! However, in rush hours (sunday afternoon) the waitresses are not eficient at all.

Marianne Barnes-Lilje

Best dessert place ever. super long lines (at almost any hour) but sooooo worth the wait. Relaxing place and open pretty late : )

Pelin Güvenç Kefel

Great coffee and basically everything they have is really good ????

Tyler St. Pierre

Come late night and they will give you a box to go... And charge you an arm and a leg for it

Perriann Hodges

They have daily specials that are listed outside. They are extremely-extraordinary desserts . :-)

Travis Muroki

I was disappointed by the desserts here. Between the rave reviews and the long line , the desserts I got were a bit underwhelming. The Strawberry Cupcake was NOT a cupcake , it was more of a damp scone .

Peter Anargirou

The raspberry linzer tart is amazing!

Carla Flores

There's absolutely NOTHING here that I've ever tried and didn't LOVE! Especially fond of the chocolate croissant bread pudding ! Yummy Yummy!

Alyssa W

Beautiful, delicious, large-portioned and flowerful desserts .

معد

Their visual menu is stunning. Yet, i'm not a big fan of any kind of dessert so, they did not make me a believer .

D. G.

I think everything is amazingly decorated here and I love it!

Nina Mo

I love bread pudding but the chocolate croissant bread pudding was too sweet for me personally. I tried the white chocolate cheesecake and I've def had better cheesecake . Overhyped in my opinion..

Whits End

Very pretty desserts that may be good gifts but overall I was unimpressed with the flavors and construction . I feel a brick in my stomach and that the calories and price weren't worth it

A L

The Apple Crostata was so good ????

Kris Parrish

Strawberry Mint Margaritas and Guacamole dip is a great mix!

Paul Smith

Desserts are so good but they are always so busy!!!! Line takes forever!

Alice Ferris

Try the Chocolate Strudel - Another one that I didn't try but I'm sure I'd like it.

Jackie Cantu

The desserts are all "looks". The tres leches is very dry so is the chocolate truffle . Ive tasted something better at a grocery store .They look better than they taste.

Di Ramirez

New York Cheesecake ! Amazing! Dulce from Leche cake is so sinful.

Jason Winter

Gianduia : hazel-nutty, and on special tonight:carrot cake

Henry Carrillo

Trying for the first time it’s going to be good.

Nathalia Flores

Try the TOASTED MACADAMIA CARAMEL CHEESECAKE - #sweet #dessert #yummy #cheesecake

Gary Comeaux

Incredible! Hands down....all is very good. I favor the chocolate cakes !

Brooke Bonwell

The bread pudding is the best I have ever had!!

Kim Lo

Love every bite of shangri-la cake .

Sindhu B.R
