Thrillist: The Cupcake Revolution is here: 25 rotating flavors, which you can track via their daily flavor schedule. Eat "The King" : a banana cake w/ peanut butter frosting in honor of Elvis' 76th birthday. Read more.
Erica Allison-Casiano: Cheapest treat....75 cent frosting shot. Cream cheese of course!
Luke Wang: Personally the frosting on the cupcakes tasted like plain sugar without much depth in flavor. If you must try the vegan red velvet is fantastic since the frosting has a light coconut flavor.

Jonathan Lieberman: Excellent frosted glass with my Tsingtao

YoHan Wj Cho: Salad and steak hotplate is just fantastic! Best is san diego perhaps.

Breakfast Spot · North Park · 13 tips and reviews
Sahrang Han: Eggs a la France (top) & Baguette French Toast w lemon curd mousse (bottom) - the French toast is a must, especially with the lemon curd!
San Diego Reader: If you’re lucky enough to get there before Hanna’s famous ginger carrot cake sells out, be sure to grab a slice. It’s worth every moist, spicy, cream-cheesy bite.
John Diaz: The turkey sandwich is ridiculously good. So is their breakfast food. Basically, anyone who doesn't like Hanna's, I don't trust.
