Oh my gosh the desserts were amazing! I chose the Pavlova and we split it. The pecan pie was very rich and the next day we couldn't finish it. Glad we were on vacation because if it was local...

Be prepared to stand in front of the cases for a while because everything looks so good that it's hard to pick one dessert! The food and coffee are excellent too. The rose lemonade is heavenly.

Fresh deserts made daily with rotating selection. Great tomato soup and grilled cheese as well as panini and a great cheese selection. Buy some teas to try at home lover girl is the best.

Best dessert place I have ever been to. Classy, upscale bakery that also serves food. Focuses not only on taste but presentation: rose petals on cake. Viking cake is delish. You won't be disappointed.

The turkey sandwich was so good. The fresh greens, quality turkey, and toasted cheese were fantastic together. Plus the cranberry sauce, which seems house made, paired perfectly.

If you can, eat inside. It’s a gorgeous restaurant and a lovely way to end an evening. Takeout also works, too, and you can devour that cake without anyone judging.

Passion fruit ricotta torte is amazing (too bad I devoured it before taking a pic). Also give the butterscotch root beer a try...it's delicious.

Hands down my favorite place for dessert/cake. However, on the savory side of things their Vegan Mezze plater is unique and refreshing. Pro Tip: Skip the caesar salad, dressing is straight mayo. Bleh.

Farmers market veggie panini is the way to go if you're looking for something that is light but still satisfy your tummy

The house coffee brewed by Zumbar is a dark roast flair. The flavor is a buttery chocolate that is similar in spirit to the rich desserts also served here.

Great food, desserts. Service here is always anything but good. Probably one of the most rudest, insincere customer service I’ve experienced here in SD.

A large cavernous warehouse space with - as the name states - larger-than-life desserts. Food is also served, including tasty salads and sandwiches, and you can take away some great chocolate.
