    Chocolate corn flake heaven

    When I tell you it's the best fried chicken wing I have ever had believe me. I'm not only old I am chubby so have had my fair share to compare. The service was great she was patient explaining the menu and made suggestions. I will be returning for sure !!!

    Tiramisu soufflé pancakes
    Nina S.

    A hidden gem in San Diego/ convoy area!! Really wanted to gatekeep this place, but I honestly love this place soooo much and the food and service deserves all the recognition. If you've been craving or wanting to try deliciously fluffy Japanese soufflé pancakes, definitely go here! Also order the zapp popcorn chicken and carbonara udon too! Sooo flavorful! Prices are very good for the portion sizes and they have other tasty desserts and drinks you can try. I've always tried something new and loved it! Service is top tier and the ambiance inside is super cute! Parking can be a little tricky in this area but I recommend parking to the left side of the building. They have bigger parking spaces. Also they are closed Monday and Tuesdays. So just a heads up!

    Hard disappointment, with the odd hours it was hard to find a time to finally come and eat here! I was really excited about the pancakes. They were not good, I got plain I'm sure if you get the crazy toppings you wouldn't be able to taste how plain these pancakes are. Service was horrible, so wild that the screen directs you to 15% tip when you order at the kiosk. We got multiple dishes besides the pancakes and the best were the wings but not good enough to come back for. The noodles were bland and the chicken satay bowl was good. The ambiance has really cool seating, you have to pay for parking if you park in their lot. I would not recommend unfortunately.

    2/26/2025.  Zapp chicken wings and Tom yum noodles!
    Jeff F.

    It's easy to overlook this restaurant when driving on convoy, as it blends in with other businesses. In other words, this is a diamond in the rough for delectable fare. Zapp chicken wings: seasoning that you can see on the crispy batter that goes well with the tender and juicy chicken. The food is cooked to order; therefore, these wings will be piping hot in temperature but also has a spicy bite, 5/5 stars! Tom yum noodles: a well-executed dish! The layers of flavor that cover every micrometer of tender but chewy noodles. The pasta sauce is unique as it is a broth that is savory with a hint of spice, sweetness, and tang. The grape tomatoes, mushrooms, and red onions were tender and slightly caramelized. The chicken was also tender and this is a 5/5 stars dish! Crepe cake: this was a refreshing dessert, as portions of the layers were both flaky and soft. The cake itself was mildly flavored, but went well with the fresh strawberries and sweet strawberry sauce, 4/5 stars. Tiramisu soufflé pancake: this fluffy and airy pancake is light in flavor and the cocoa powder adds bitterness, but is balanced with the sweet chocolate sauce that is intended for drizzling over the cake. The vanilla ice cream and sliced strawberries on the side adds more depth, 4/5 stars. I've been enjoying the food here for over a decade which is a testament to their consistency to excellence and my reluctance to share this restaurant on-line until now :)

    This place is very roomy! They have a small patio area in the back great for dogs! I came here to try their zap chicken wings recommended by one of the workers from The Friendly. Cake de Partie serves some awesome looking desserts! They also serve pasta dishes with asian themes and other flavors. The chicken wings came in 6 pieces for about 10$. It has a very lemon pepper flavor. This wasnt screaming "great" chicken but it was battered and fried perfectly. I enjoyed the chicken. Next time, I will for sure try the pasta!

    Pistachio Nutella Toast
    Rachael A.

    My girlfriends and I absolutely loved this place and can't wait to come back when we aren't so full from after a dinner reservation! We wanted to try more than just this one dessert (Nutella Pistachio Toast)! Service was very friendly! I liked that the cashier explained to us that these lovely desserts take 15-35 minutes depending on what you order so we could be aware of that. This dessert was absolutely incredible. It didn't even need the ice cream on top because the toast, Nutella and cream itself were just to die for. 10/10 experience!!!!

    Strawberry Soufflé Pancake
    Charles C.

    The ambiance is quiet. Nothing very aesthetic. The service is good, nothing too crazy. The food; be warned, the food takes about 30 min from when you order it because it's freshly made, so don't go if you're really hungry and want to eat here fast. Nonetheless, the pancakes are AMAZING. - Strawberry Soufflé; soft yet creamy. These pancakes don't have an eggy flavor, which I much appreciate. They are sweet and savory. The cream is like a very refined vanilla custard. 8/10 - Crème Brûlée Soufflé: immaculate, better than the strawberry in my opinion. The burnt sugar gives it a nice taste, and it's similar to what you'd expect from a top-tier tres leches cake. Spongey and soft, the pancake truly complements the crème. 9/10 - Ube Soufflé ; their best in my opinion. A soft flavor similar to a fruity pebble if it was touched by god himself. Creamy, savory, perfectly sweet. Unique taste that melts in the tongue. This is what fusion food should aim for. 10/10

    Pandan brick toast
    Dary P.

    We ordered: * Spaghetti Tom Yum with shrimp * Miso Carbonara * Satay Chicken Salad * Fried tofu * Pandan brick toast Everything was good. We wish there were more vegetarian options. We asked if we can have the fried tofu instead of the chicken for the salad but that was not an option so we had to order that separately. If you want a soufflé pancakes, order that right away because it will take 20+ minutes to make. I previously had it and it's really good. This time, we got the pandan brick toast. It came with ice cream on top. I thought the pandan was a little bit too sweet but overall, it's not bad. Parking isn't the best around there. If you can find a parking in the back then expect to pay. There's only 20 minutes complimentary parking for the complex. On the weekends, they are open til 10 pm.

    Ube soufflé pancakes
    Andrea Q.

    I was craving something sweet on a Saturday night and decided to come by. I had wanted to order Togo but I understood why they don't. I ordered the tom yum pasta which is DELICIOUS. I had to come in to get my sweet treat, I enjoyed the ube soufflé pancakes and strawberry ones. They take 35 MINUTES to prepare so you will have to bring your patience :)

    Blueberry cheesecake souffle
    Jan H.

    Went here with a group of friends as it has been on the list for some time to try. Parking can definitely a challenge, so be prepared for that, it's much easier if you come early in the day. The souffle is definitely more of a sweet, dessert type of breakfast, so great of you have a sweet tooth. They take about 20 to 30 minutes depending how many people ordered, so it pays to get your order in early. They have several different flavors, so there are a variety to choose from. We tried the blueberry cheesecake one, which was very good, and i think my favorite of the 2. The other was a banana fosters type one, which was also good even though I'm not a huge banana person. They are big portions so I'd recommend maybe sharing. The seating is a bit weird, if you have a larger party they have these circular tables with a fabric type curved bench for seating. It was a bit awkward getting in and out of the seat.

    Ube Pancake Souffle
    Beto R.

    People on Yelp have been raving about its pancake souffles, so we decided to stop by the restaurant and try them while visiting San Diego. The restaurant is located in a small building with very limited spaces (20 min free then $3 per hour. Some people suggested to park on J&J Plaza behind the building on the weekends). Inside it has a gen Z vibe décor with painted art wall, and a mixture of regular table and round sofa seating arrangements, large enough to accommodate 50+ people. A warning and FYI: The average waiting time for the pancake is 50 minutes. So, make sure you are not in a hurry when coming in for the pancakes. We ordered the following dishes: Miso Salmon Pasta (No Cheese): The pasta was cooked to perfection and slightly al dente. The bits of salmon were very tender. The sauce was light, with only a hint of miso, and quite savory. Tom Yum Shrimp Pasta: The noodles also had a very nice firmness. The sauce was exquisitely flavorful: savory, spicy, not too sour and slightly sweet. The shrimps were fresh and had good texture. Carbonara Pasta: The sauce was not as heavy as traditional carbonara and it was quite delightful and savory. Th blend of bacon bits, masago roe, egg and mushroom went very well with the perfectly cooked pasta. Ube Pancake Souffle: We got the freshly prepared cake after 55 minutes of wait. It was airily fluffy, wiggly, not too sweet, and quite delicious. We finished the whole cake in a snap and probably could eat couple more if we didn't need to wait for another 55 min. It was worth the wait and definitely will stop by the restaurant again.

    Basil Crab Pasta
    Lawrence C.

    Fun little dessert cafe that looks very casual like ordering at the counter but actually has some pretty fancy looking pasta. I got the Basil Crab pasta and that tasted like the Cantonese style basil lobster - lots of umami and fresh basil and black pepper. Pasta was cooked well and aldente but just didn't have the bite like some other places. The other stand out for me was the Tom Kha pasta which had bright and bold flavors, highlighting the Thai fusion flavors. The carbonara and miso salmon were very good but didn't have that wow factor. Overall, highly recommend trying it and would definitely go again but not the best fusion pasta place in SoCal imo.

    Meh, Jack in the box is definitely better.
    Hanafi M.

    Really great food and delicious desserts. Plenty of easy parking, speaking of easy, this restaurant is easy on your wallet. Nice menu, interesting variety.

Most other coffee shops charge $1.00 or more now, so that was a really nice surprise. They also gave me a stamp card for future visits, which I'll definitely be using. Will absolutely be back!

It was so good I've recommended it to a bunch of people, so I decided to check out the original Kearny Mesa spot out of respect. In my head, the first location should be even better since that's where it started, but that wasn't the case at all and it ended up being pretty disappointing. I ordered online and it showed a 19 minute wait for just a drink, which felt long for around 6:30 in the morning. I placed it anyway, but when I got there the plaza was basically empty. It's in a quieter area near military and recruitment offices. My drink was already sitting at the pickup counter with my name on it, so I was in and out in seconds. There is some outdoor seating with music playing, which is nice, but I didn't stay long. I ordered the same matcha I got in Mission Valley because it was that memorable. The only difference was dairy milk instead of oat milk, but that shouldn't have changed it this much. The color was the first red flag. It was super light, almost pale green, instead of that bright vibrant green you expect from good matcha. You can usually tell quality just from that. The taste didn't match either. The Mission Valley one had a strong matcha flavor with a slight sweetness from the date syrup, and the knafeh cold foam pulled everything together. This one tasted weak and kind of flat. The cold foam was still good and tasted the same, but that's only a small part of the drink and not enough to save it. Now I'm honestly confused because I've been recommending this drink to people and if they came to this location first, their experience would be completely different. It just didn't live up to what I had before. I'll probably go back to the Mission Valley spot to see if that version is actually the standard, but this one left me pretty let down.

Wait outside on the sidewalk (no exterior seating) and someone will come to take you inside. Do not ring the door bell. The theme is to take it slow. Each customer typically waits 20-30 minutes to enter as part of how they do things, even if there is open seating inside. Not sure if they use a timer to space entries but it seems consistent. They take one group in at a time. Interior: A few tables around the wall and then bar seating. Would not recommend for parties greater than 2, there just isn't the space. They welcome service animals, babies/children and strollers from what I observed. The music was very, very loud. It was difficult to hold a conversation. I did not see a bathroom. Ordering process: After seating you wait for a little bit for them to bring small water cups and a QR menu with a table number and a set of rules. They do not have a physical menu, you must use your phone to order. Cell phone reception was dicey and took a long time to load. They have an interesting concept where you have a digital 'tab' open on their toast website. Unfortunately you must provide your full name, email and phone number. They have pour over drinks (note these can take 15-20 minutes), matcha, Hojicha and others. You may only order one drink per person at a time. They have a small snack menu with rotating foods. They use oat milk only. No substitutions allowed. After mobile ordering, drinks take 20-30 minutes as part of their take it slow vibe. Matcha $8 is from Paru tea and was very good. Hojicha $8 was too milky and didn't have a strong enough flavor. When you are done you walk to the register by the door and wait to be checked out. If they are making a drink you wait until they are finished. I wasn't really a fan. Staff were brusque. Music was too loud to converse.

It's extra pretty if you add toppings like their super sweet mango. All of the scoops of ice cream were on the icier side but flavorful. Coconut was sweet and fantastically refreshing, while the taro was a bit more subtle but nutty and enjoyable. The vanilla was an old fashioned vanilla which was creamier than the other flavors but still definitely a bit icy. I would just get 3 scoops of coconut next time! The added mango on top was super sweet and soft, which contrasted drastically the meaty texture and very subdued flavor of the coconut pieces (maybe shouldn't have eaten it after that sweet mango!). They also have some unique Thai flavors of Lay's chips + special desserts (mango sticky rice, coconut pancakes, coconut pudding, etc.). I'd return for some more coconut ice cream and to try those special desserts! There are a few tables inside and more ornately decorated tables outside. No restrooms. Service was friendly. Fun little place to try new desserts, for a cute quick date, or grab and go for treats :)
