If you’re looking for the perfect Mother’s Day treat for the mom in your life, this one takes the cake! 🎂 🍓 . If you know me, you know I’m a big fan of Le Parfait Paris and regularly frequent the downtown location here in San Diego. I saw they have a fantastic special for Mother’s Day and had to share it with you guys in case you’re still looking to bring mom something sweet! 💕 . This delicious Mother’s Day cake features layers of almond streusel, biscuit, vanilla, roasted strawberries, strawberry jelly, and fresh strawberries ($45). I had the honor of trying it out for you guys and each bite was light and delicate yet filled with strawberry flavor. This cake is now available for pre-order from all six @leparfaitparis locations and are available for pick up starting Friday, May 10. They do have a limited amount available for purchase in-store, but I recommend pre-ordering to be safe. Check out the link in my bio to pre-order yours today. Hope you and the mom in your life enjoys! 🤍 . 📍Locations: Coronado Island, Liberty Public Market, Gaslamp Quarter, Fashion Valley Mall, Anaheim, Del Mar Sky Deck . #mothersdaycake #mothersdaycakes #mothersdaygiftingideas #mothersdaydessert #mothersdaydesserts #strawberrycakes #strawberrycake #strawberrycake🍓 #strawberrycake🍓🍰 #sandiegocake #sandiegocakes #leparfaitparis #gaslampquarter #gaslampsandiego #coronadoisland #libertypublicmarket #fashionvalleymall #delmarskydeck #skydeckdelmar #sandiegofoodfinds #sandiegobakery #bestbakeries #sdbakery

I appreciate the support 🫶🏻 . Breakfast tacos in the San Diego area were basically non-existent and it’s one of my top cravings, so when I found out they opened a HomeState in Oceanside, I made the 45 minute drive EASILY for these bad boys. The space itself is adorable, and has a ton of seating both inside and outside. They have a great menu filled with some delicious margaritas, breakfast tacos, anytime tacos, chips and queso and more. The tortillas are so soft and perfect, the ingredients are top notch and perfectly cooked, and if you have a sweet tooth do not skip their cookies - SO good!! Check out what we ordered below and be sure to stop by the next time you’re in the mood for some unreal tacos. Enjoy! . What We Ordered: Trinity Taco - eggs, bacon, potato & cheddar $5 Frio - refried charro beans, Monterey Jack $3.50 Don’t Mess With Texas - charro beans, bacon, potato, cheddar $5 Lil’ Queso with chips - $5 . #homestate #homestatetacos #breakfasttacos #breakfasttacosallday #tacotuesday🌮 #tacotuesdays #besttacosintown #besttacos #sandiegotacos #northcountysd #northcountysandiego #oceansidecalifornia #oceansidepier #oceansidefood #oceansideeats #texmex #texmexfood #breakfastsandiego #sandiegobreakfast #streettacos #chipsandqueso #wheretoeatinsandiego #sandiegogems

Looking for the best udon in San Diego? Here’s your answer 🍜 be sure to FOLLOW @whatericacraves for more foodie finds 🤍 I appreciate your support! . My husband and I were just talking about how San Diego was lacking in Udon spots after a trip to San Francisco and then we passed by an “opening soon” sign at the UTC mall in La Jolla and I was SO excited to see that a @marugame_udon_usa was headed our way! As soon as it opened we headed on over to give it a try. Some things you should know before you go ⤵️ . 🤍 If you’re going on a weekend or during prime meal times, expect a wait! It does move fast, however. 🤍 it’s all cafeteria style, so as you move down in the line you share what you want to order as well as any modifications 🤍 they have a full tempura station where you just select items you want and add them on your tray for an extra fee . See what we ordered below! We absolutely loved it. The udon noodles was chewy and bouncy and the broth was flavorful. We really loved all of the tempura we tried, but the gyoza we could take it or leave it. Their drinks were super fun, too! Enjoy - we definitely recommend this spot 🍜 . What We Ordered: Tonkotsu Udon (add fireball for spice) Curry Nikutama Shrimp Tempura Purple sweet potato tempura Gyoza Iced Matcha Calamansi . #udonnoodles #sandiegoudon #marugameudon #udonsoup #udonlovers #curryudon #tonkotsuudon #tonkotsu #utcmall #lajollafood #japanesefoodlover #newrestaurantsandiego #sandiegojapanesefood #noodlelovers #sandiegofoodfinds #eatthisnext #foodieadventures #instafoodlover #instafoodblogger #japaneseudon #sandiego #sandiegorestaurant
