"Those with a sweet tooth visiting Azucar will have a hard time deciding among all the pretty pastries on display. Owner and pastry chef Vivian Hernandez bakes up individual-sized treats as well as full-sized cakes. And you can taste her Cuban roots in the Artemisa, a rum cake with Malibu coconut custard, rum-flamed pineapple with whipped cream frosting and coconut." - Darlene Horn

"Cuban pastries line the counter at this Ocean Beach shop but when it comes to flaky offerings, order a few meat pies. $2.75 will get you a hand-sized pie filled with their housemade picadillo encased in an all-butter puff pastry." - Darlene Horn
