Jeff Snyder: Good meal. 7-layer carrot cake is wonderful. Not too sweet.
Marc: Thrillist: prime cuts aged in-house, killer cocktails, and a see-and-be-seen atmosphere unreplicated anywhere in downtown SD; opt for a slice of carrot cake before retiring to the buzzy rooftop
De Al: The carrot cake is the best
Paul Tran: It's like a ritual to stop by here every time I am in San Diego; got the lemon tart cake (yum!) & carrot cake (ehhh - but I'm not a fan)
Tara Konitshek: The carrot cake Creme brûlée is my new fav. Not too sweet and a lot of pretty amazing flavors packed in one cake!
Deema M: Since they were out of coconut and carrot cake, Strawberry shortcake was my plan B,and I Loved it!

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.
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!
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.
