It took about 45 minutes for the food truck to make food for my family of 3. Two burgers and a Philly cheese steak is all we ordered. The woman taking the orders was unfriendly and difficult to understand. Once we finally got our food we were pretty hungry. We were quite disappointed with the food. None of the cheese was actually melted. Everything was bland and cold. It was the worst Philly I have ever had and I've tried quite a few. I don't even like McDonalds, but I really wish we would've just grabbed some food from there instead. ?

Visited their food truck during TedX event in El Cajon. Family member was presenting at event. Ordered food for 4 people. Asked how long it would take, “about 15 min”. Sounds reasonable. An hour and 15 minutes later our food was ready. 2 hamburgers, 1 hotdog and 1 chicken nuggets. Well. We had enough time to run and put the food in the car for later! Glad the “green room” at TedX had snacks for our little presenter. Very frustrating and poor service. Not even to stop taking orders when they knew they couldn’t produce in a timely manner.

I order from this place on Uber eats and wanted it delivered I waited 1hour and 30 min and then my driver called me saying that the place was closed and they had a number for delivery, he said that he called them but no one answered. And I still got charged without getting my food. Looking on google it’s saying that it was opened when there’re closed. I don’t recommend.

It’s closed apparently. Strange because I got coupons for them in the mail a couple of times. And according to Google Maps they’re open.

To be honest this place deserves 10 stars because without them alot of families will go hungry daily . Crime would probably go up do to starvation in East County if it wasn't for these people feeding the homeless. I will always keep them in my prayers.

I've been trying to support local businesses as much as I can this year, so when I came across this place on Facebook, I decided this will be where we get pie for thanksgiving. I believe they were at a different location and recently moved over to Main Street! The hours are different than most places, since they give back to the community and serve free breakfast and lunch meals from 10am-1pm, which is so amazing! You will find a variety of fresh pies, bagels, danishes, bread, muffins, and cookies! All the fillings in the danishes have the perfect amount of sweetness. Get the apple turnover if you want something flaky instead of a danish. The cranberry apple pie is a great mix, you get the tart flavor from cranberry mixed with the sweet apple filling. Overall, this a great local bakery and I can't wait to try different items.

Great Customer Service

Sadly this placed is now closed. Happened upon it on their last day open and I couldn't be more sad about it. I'm a native New Yorker and this place had the best bagels in town. The owner is Colombian and made some phenominal empanadas as well. It was also the only place around that I have seen with rainbow cookies. Sad they closed, but heard they plan to open a new spot in Lakeside. I'll keep you posted!

Whoever the young gentleman is that closed your business on Christmas Eve deserves a raise. Phenomenal customer service and this isn't just the first time. Multiple occasions I've came in and he has always had a positive attitude towards me and my family. Definitely the number one go to location for desserts. I forget who it what your name is but thank you

New owners have taken over and the quality is back. This is one of the best Italian bakeries I know of in San Diego.

Love this place, found it while attending one of the Wednesday night car shows. Boyfriend wanted a Boston Cream Pie for his birthday, the day before I called them and they had one!!! Perfect...and it was delicious.
