my sugar is raw, sticky and sweet."

This is my absolute favorite place to have dessert in the world! I love Extraordinary Desserts. I remember the first time I came here I was so impressed that I had to come here every time I came to visit San Diego. I love the interior design, the friendly staff, and above all else the food, specifically the dessert! I have been here a handful of times and I am never ever let down. This to me is the high end of desserts without the ridiculous prices. If the desserts here were cars they would be Rolls Royce and Porsches. Everything here is gourmet, from the desserts to the tea selection, to the food.
Chef and Founder Karen Krasne has conceived a artistic culinary gold mine in San Diego. I only wish they had one of these in Los Angeles. From the first step you walk thru their massive glass door, you are blown away by the array of desserts displayed in their case. Each one hand crafted to perfection and served as a work of art. You literally feel like you are eating a 3 dimensional canvas, but even better than the sight of the dessert is the taste. On this particular night a few friends of mine and myself tried the White Chocolate Strawberry Napoleon and the Strawberry Dreams Forever cake... absolutely delicious!
I didn't really have a dinner that night so I ended up ordering a grilled cheese sandwich, which wasn't your typical grilled cheese with cheddar. No, this one had caramelized white onions and emmenthal cheese served with a side of green and black olives.
Extraordinary Desserts is an extraordinary place to bring friends who have never experienced this high end coffee shop. This is the Dean & Deluca of coffee shops. This is also a fantastic place for a late night dessert run, a date, or even a place to escape your worries for an hour or two. Parking a easy after 6 pm its free at the meters, and usually I have never had to walk more than a block to get here.
