AMAZING

★★★★★

“Jared is an AMAZING gelato mixologist and dessert master! He was extremely welcoming and provided us samples of fantastic gelato combinations...and even though we initially walked in looking for cake, we left with cake, a tart and two scoops of delicious gelato! Highly recommend!!!! Ask for Jared!”

So So So So So Impressed

★★★★★

“So So So So So Impressed with the Gluten Free options! Stopped in here tonight and was amazed by all of the desserts I was able to eat (I have a gluten allergy). I chose the chocolate mousse cake and it was so wonderful! I can't wait to dig in for the 2nd half tomorrow! I thoroughly recommend this dessert cafe for taste, presentation and very reasonable prices.”

The desserts and coffee were amazing!

★★★★★

“The desserts and coffee were amazing! You can get samples of the gelato before committing to a big one and there were so many flavors (highly recommend the nutella flavor). We also got a slice of the oreo cheesecake and o boy...everything you would imagine and more. Jarrod, the barrista, was so friendly and made sure our order was done to our liking. You can tell he has a great passion for what he does. Definitely go here!!”

I am sad to say I did not like the service we received. 🙁 We order the strawberry and banana crepe for $9.50. It was dry and way over cooked. The strawberries were tiny and a very small amount. The crepe also had two half slice bananas. It was not enjoyable to eat. The second crepe was the lemon custard. It was much better cooked and tasted a little better. For the price of $7.50 I don't think it was worth the price. We order a white chocolate raspberry coffee. It didn't taste at all what we order. We were very disappointed because I read the reviews and went to give it a try. I will not go again, customer service was poor. It is sad to say it fail.

Loved all the desserts we tried. The staff was friendly and helpful. I brought this back home for family to celebrate and everyone was more than happy. I want to go back and try more things because everything looked amazing. *perk they are reasonably priced

Ordered the pistachio cake with strawberry compote and the fruit tart. Both of the pastries were good. Fruit tart had a great custard filling though the custard was a little extra than my personal liking. Also the pie was a little thick in the middle, but nonetheless both of them tasted really good. Would definitely be coming back here

Went at 11/9/19 at around 4pm. My mother asked what was in the red velvet cake and the man there used literally the most rude voice and most condescending attitude toward us and didn't explain anything. He was more interested in talking to the other employee. The food was good but never coming back again.

Delicious crêpes. I wish there had been more regular cake options instead of so many cheesecakes, but tube turtle cheesecake was absolutely the top pick odd the night!

Man, this place is awesome. Right in the middle of a bunch of great bars and restaurants, open late, and full of amazing sweets. A dozen or so flavors of gelato, all if which are delicious, greet you when you walk in. Then beyond that, there's several display cases full of delicious cake, pies, mousses, and other deliciousness. The selection is incredible. A little pricey, but worth it - and the seating is limited, esp inside. They do have patio seating as well, though, which is pretty viable year-round in San Diego. Go here. It's amazing.

Nice place for pastries and ice cream. The pastries are good but are a bit too sweet and lack some refinement. But it is definitely a good place and hopefully this will push to have more of these places and improve overall choices and quality in SD. It is also nice that they open long hours.

I was so sad when heaven sent desserts went out of business but then my happiness returned when I found out that Figaro has heaven Sent's desserts!! Come here for yummy treats and delicious coffee

What a cool place to get some delicious treats after any place you eat in North park. In walking distance you will have a choice of ice creams made on the premises. And all those fancy desserts like Boston Cream Cake, tiramisu, or even creme Brulee! It's most enticing to the eyes and ever so Yummy to your Tummy! Enjoy

Amazing dessert shop!!! Super good quality and reasonable price. I got the milk and berry cake and espresso. Perfect flavor and texture.

Opera cake had a great coffee and chocolate flavor and coarse almond texture. Dulce de leche cake was on the sweeter side, but had good flavor. Beautiful pastry presentation.

The desserts were amazing! I didn't know what to get so I asked the worker what she recommended, and she said she's a total chocolate person! Yes! I love chocolate so I went with her choice of this little chocolate mouse cake and it was rich and chocolaty! I also ordered the pistachio strawberry, which tasted perfect together with the chocolate one! Balanced out the richness! Nice little place to have coffee and dessert! Next time I'll try the ice cream/gelato (forgot which one it was)

Very good but a little pricey. But that is to be expected. Had the tiramisu, as I am a connoisseur of such. Very good and a different take on it.

Incredible place. Very classy feel with friendly staff and delicious desserts, as well as quality espresso, and water at the ready. I recommend the Snickers Cheesecake if you're up for it, it's delicious.

Pricey and at small portions, each of the desserts they have to offer have to be good. For most of the desserts, they are. They may be slightly on the sweeter end but they are delightful nonetheless. I only wish that they were a bit bigger. When I ordered a $7 slice of cheesecake, I thought I was going to get a sizable amount, not a sliver.

it was delicious! We had the Key Lime cheesecake and the fudge brownie cheesecake they were both perfection. We also had a mocha and a mexican mocha that were so good!! the staff was friendly and helpful we definitely will be going back to try new things since everything sounds and looks delicious!!!

First time here and enjoying a perfectly spiced carrot cake with cream cheese frosting and vegan chocolate mousse made with coconut milk. I love every bite!❤️ There are chopped almonds in the carrot cake — I prefer without.

We tried 6 different desserts and had three children with us. Everyone loved their dessert. If you like chocolate try the chocolate marquise! It's super rich and delicious! Highly recommended.

Very rich desserts. Delicious savory crepes. Hot tea. A great way to end an evening out. But only 3 or 4 tables inside, so space is a premium on a rainy night

We happened on this shop after the Ray Street Art Festival and had Gelato. Server was wonderful, very happy to explain all the flavors. We went back a. couple nights later and had their Creme Brûlée. Once again, the server was wonderful, you could tell he enjoyed working there. A very lively place, although little, there is seating inside and outside. We recommend to anyone looking for dessert.

Amazing service, tons of dairy free gelato options. They provided great taste and flavor combinations.

Nathan Murphy

The staff here is incredible. We spent five to ten minutes just listening to them explain in great detail what all the desserts were. We tried a few options and they were all delicious. I will definitely be coming back here

22:49 02 Jul 17

Yummy!!! For gluten free desserts you would never tell. I had an amazing concoction of chocolate cake, mousse and something that resembled Nestle crunch. It was amazing! Their macaroon flavors are top notch but the winner was the gelato! We got to try so many flavor combinations and they were all delicious! I would definitely come back!

Great desert. In a good neighborhood. The employee there was a man that knew everything about the desserts he served. He also gave me free samples of the gelato
