I purchased the most adorable and tasty cake last minute for my boyfriends birthday. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The strawberries were fresh and the cream was perfect. Thank you very much!

Thought I'd give this bakery a try and the expectations (of the currently 4 star place) fell short. Just not doing anything unique or worthwhile to warrant being a regular or even trying for the first time. And then to top it all off, the lady who helped me did not say a word after I paid. I just walked out with my pastries wondering why that happened.

Of course American will say this place was good, but coming from someone who lived in Italy for 5 years, eating nothing but espresso and croissants, this place was terrible. Coffee is burnt, pastries are from yesterday. 18 dollars for food I had to throw away.

Best customer service! I recommend this bakery. We had raspberry cheesecake and tiramsu at their outside area. We ordered a mango mousse birthday cake. Perfect! If you are in Oceanside, do visit it! yummy goodies!
