Balboa Bakery — Restaurant in San Diego

Love this place! So I stumbled across this place by accident. It's sort of hidden in a plaza. I can't believe how good it was. It's the best baklava I've had.

If you are in town you have to go. If you're not in town you should go. It's really that good. The only problem is there is so much to choose from you might go crazy like we did. Cant wait to come back and definitely something to look forward to next time I'm in town. Or maybe drive the 2 hours from L.A.. I love the mom and pop shop and how much they care about their customers and their business. 5...

Very delicious!! I just had a chickpea cookie (not pictured… devoured too fast!) with pistachio crumbs and it was delish! I was jonesing for sweets this eve and this was perfect. Not too sweet and decadent and gave me my fix. Very understated treats that over-deliver. I had a walnut cookie (left) that is tasty, slightly crunchy, airy, yet moist like the ends of a macrons. Wow. I picked up different varieties of baklava too. Haven’t had them yet but I’m sure it won’t disappoint. I want to come back and try the almond cake with creme. Delightful lil treasure to...
