Karen Krasne's Extraordinary Desserts Description:
Known for its desserts, this contemporary, upscale bakery also offers a restaurant menu with salads, sandwiches and other cafe fare.
French-trained pastry chef Karen Krasne continues to wow San Diego with her impressive oeuvre of sophisticated desserts. Of particular note are the toasted macadamia-caramel cheesecake and The Moroccan (chocolate mousse, honey-pistachio-almond nougat covered in dark chocolate and crushed pistachios). We love the giant swirls of caramelized meringue in the lemon meringue pie. At Extraordinary Desserts, the fancier the better; comfort foods like cookies, scones and crumbles tend to be dry. Die-hard chocolate fans will swoon for the Gianduia (bittersweet chocolate cake, Meyers's rum, hazelnut buttercream, chocolate mousse and boysenberry preserves) and the Viking (layers of chocolate crème brûlée and cake, caramel, milk chocolate whipped cream and pralines). Strong Hawaiian coffees and fine French teas round out the decadent menu.
