About Us
Welcome to Extraordinary Desserts. Here at our virtual home, I hope we can tempt you with our irresistible collection of edibles, collectables and gifts. If this is your first Extraordinary Desserts experience, let me share with you a little about myself and my dessert establishments. Our original cafe is located in San Diego's historical Balboa Park neighborhood, and our second restaurant opened in 2004 in the urban neighborhood of Little Italy near Downtown San Diego. Food is best enjoyed as a reflection of culture. So our desserts are embellished with tastes from around the world, and our cafe is filled with delightful mementos I've discovered on my travels-from Italian horn-handled cake knives to African woven wedding baskets. By creating an enchanting mood with the flavors and unique artistry please, I encourage my customers to lose themselves completely in the sweet sensuality of it all.
