a sweet wait - View this location on map On Saturday nights, the line outside Extraordinary Desserts ( 619-294-7001) can extend onto the sidewalk. But once you've tasted Karen Krasne's creations, you'll forget about the wait. There is inside seating at about a dozen tables, plus about twice that on the heated patio. Or if you can't get a seat, you can always enjoy the torta misu, roasted coconut cream torte or toasted macadamia caramel cheesecake ($7 to $10 a slice) in the comfort of your own hotel room. The Viking, a chocolate crème brulee cake with caramel, milk chocolate whipped cream and crushed chocolate almond pralines, is particularly decadent.
