Alfa Alfajores Bakery - S San Diego

Simply incredible! Easily the best alfajores that I’ve had in the states. On par or better than the best alfajores from Argentina as well. Both the chocolate covered and maicena are well worth it

August Stop 25Me and my buddy came to the farmer's market just for this stand. After seeing it recommended, I was very excited to try the Honey Cake and the Basque Cheesecake. Unfortunately they weren't selling the Honey Cake on this Saturday so more reason to come back! We got a slice of the Basque Cheesecake, which was so sweet and dense. It definitely had a ton of flavor that might be too rich for my Chinese tastebuds. Nevertheless, it is super good still! We also got the Peach Sponge Cake which was actually our favorite from this stand. The light chiffon cake with cream and custard matched so well with the sweet peaches! They do not sell this via pre-order so you got to get lucky to find this one!And finally we had to try some alfajores. On this day we had the dark chocolate covered one and the orange blossom one. The chocolate one was very rich and reminded me a lot of a dense brownie. The orange blossom was less sweet, and even more delicious! Next time we have a free Saturday, I will do my best to stop by again. I might even pre-order some whole cakes for parties. It is super good!

The alfajores were good but there isn't a cookie in the world delicious enough to cancel out this woman's attitude. She treated us like we were absolutely idiots when we were simply asking to clarify what was what, having never had anything from this bakery before and being unfamiliar with alfajores. By that point she'd already put one in a bag, otherwise we would have just walked away. It was the most bizarre farmers market vendor experience I think I've ever had.

I never had burned cheesecake and handmade Alfajores before. But when I tried, I absolutely loved them, not just me, but my friends as well. I already went back to get another burned cheesecake. Valery is very kind and for sure a talented baker. I hope her bakeries can get much more appreciation through the time. You all need to try it, otherwise you’ll regret for sure!

Best alfajores i've had! I reached out via Yelp since I was having trouble navigating the online ordering system and Valery was very nice and patient in helping me get my order placed. She was very quick and professional while communicating and the pick up process was very smooth. Can't wait to try her other baked goods!
