Claiming the largest gluten-free dessert selection in San Diego, Figaro Dessert Cafe at 412 University Ave serves Hillcrest from a menu of over sixty desserts and forty house-made gelato flavors in the 92103 ZIP code. The gluten-free dessert selection exceeds sixty items, from crepes to creme brulee, a range that draws the same destination-dining traffic as the Neapolitan-style pies at Arrivederci Ristorante elsewhere on the Hillcrest corridor. Every gelato batch is produced on-site without preservatives, corn syrup, or artificial ingredients, giving the lineup a clean flavor profile. Specialty espresso pairings rival the single-origin pours at Talitha Coffee Roasters down the block on University Avenue. The most involved orders are custom wedding and celebration cakes, where multi-layer builds like the Milk’n Berries combine whipped cream, fresh blueberries, and blackberries into tiered constructions for large-format events.
