Kitty C.

On our way to LAX and stopped here for dessert. Was hoping to try the cream filling but we ended up getting the chocotella. The chocolate chips were very yummy, the cake was fluffy and not too sweet. It was a great combination, I just wish they could have added a little cream inside. Maybe we could and didn't know. Service was nice, they were able to answer our food allergy question, which they do not use peanuts or tree nuts in cakes, but they do have in their drinks. Overall, we all enjoyed it!

This was a pretty good cake. Very light. I recommend trying their creamtella. The cream pairs well with the cake. The staff was nice, and the place was quiet so you can enjoy the peace. To be fair, it was a hot day so no one was out, haha. I'd like to try their chocolate one if I'm in the area again.

Very well done castella if that's your cup of tea. Not too sweet, airy, and spongelike Sweet service

Cheesetella was such a wonderful surprise! Everything was deliciously light, fluffy, and perfectly balanced without being overly sweet. You can really enjoy the flavor without feeling weighed down afterward. The texture is incredibly soft and fresh, and you can tell a lot of care goes into what they make. Wish I got cheese. Next time! If you love desserts but don't like anything too heavy or sugary, this place is a must-try! Even after a few bites, you somehow want to keep going. Definitely coming back for more!

Chocotella

The chocotela has a light chocolate taste and fluffy but rich texture. The customer service was good. They have a huge variety of drinks and next time will have to try those!

Found this place on social media and wanted to try it! I ordered the creamtella. The portion is huge and it was around $14. The cream is very light and the cake part is light and airy. Such a big portion and it's not too sweet. Soo yummy. There is ample parking as well.

Super unique never had it and amazingly excited to try. Service is nice and helpful and has ample parking!

Cheesetella offers Japanese style cheesecake. Light, fluffy, and "not too sweet". The texture is soft, light, and a spongy feel. If you're thinking that this is similar to Uncle Tetsu, you're not far off. We got the original and it was very well received by everyone in our party. Each cake can serve up to 6, which is great and the perfect portion size. Service was quick and friendly. Located in the Ralph's plaza on Harvard and Main in Irvine, there's plenty of parking. The shop is a bit on the small size but there quite a bit of foot traffic. Even if there's a wait, it goes pretty quickly. Enjoy!

Very small cafe but the cheesecakes are great, very unique and yummy. The drinks are good too, the matcha is pretty good and well made, more on the creamy side The chocotella with cream added is great 9/10 not too sweet and the cream adds the perfect touch to the dry cake, the original cheesetella is good but some might not like it it has actual cheddar style cheese in the middle which makes it pretty savory The ube cheesecake is 10/10 very tasty and not too sweet

Parking: Cheesetella is located in the Harvard Place shopping center. It does get busy but I have never had difficulty finding parking. Exterior: There was a single table for two outside. Interior: The interior is very small and well decorated. However, it does not seem like it is meant for anyone to actually hang out in. Service: There was a person behind the counter and she tried to answer my questions but her answers were not very clear. My order turned out to not be what I thought I ordered. Food: I stopped by after lunch to pick up some cakes. Most of the flavors were unavailable. I bought a Chocotella and a Mocha Creamtella. Visually, they did not look very good. The cakes were cracked and uneven so it did not look like the castella cakes that you see jiggling about on social media. The chocotella was a bit dry but otherwise it was alright. The mocha creamtella was the chocotella with mocha cream. The cream helped with the dryness. Overall, it was alright. I might stop by again if I happen to want something sweet.

Cheesetella features cheesecakes and castellas. Their shop is cute and very clean. The staff was very nice and helped me get a ube cheesecake! The cheesecake is very fluffy and flavorful and fresh. Great place!

It was one stressful week and when I saw this dessert shop, it put a smile on my face! The souffle plain cheesecake was our pick. It was a pretty good size, about 4 servings for us. We had it with some fresh berries. Super moist and fluffy with a light cheese taste. So delicious. So many ways to serve too, like with side of fresh whipped cream, a scoop of ice cream, macerated berries, skies the limit. They also have coffee on the menu, only caffeinated though. Would have loved one, but it was just too late in the day. Next time! It paired very well with tea :) It is located in the Harvard Place shopping center, where parking is plenty. Perfect little pick me up for you and your loved ones. Makes a sweet gift for your favorite person too. Enjoy!

A small store front to pick up cheese cake or castella cake. There are inside seating so it is more of a to-go place. Got to place the order online for quicker pickup. The cheese cake was fluffy, light, and tasty. It went well pairing with some coffee I had at home. The chocolate cake was a bit day and not as flavorful.

I could seriously drink this all the time! I reallllly wish they would open one closer to me, like in Cerritos, Los Angeles, or even Westminster. It's a little bit of a drive all the way to Irvine, but honestly, it's worth it because this is probably my favorite mango dessert spot! The place itself is small and cute, with only a few seats inside, but they also have outdoor seating. Service is great. You're in and out. They don't take long preparing your order. Every time I go there, my order is on point and everything always comes out delicious. Parking is plentiful, which is always a plus. Definitely a must-try if you love mango desserts! ever since I discovered this place, I've been going at least twice a month. It's a 35-40 minute drive but it's so worth it.

Parking can get a little tight in the free parking lot, but we didn't have too much trouble on Sunday afternoon. The interior was very cute and pretty with flowers. They also sell mochi donuts -- this looks like a rebrand Bober Tea shop that's known for their "stir fried" boba. The brown sugar boba in our drinks tasted like the super soft and flavorful boba. My husband and I really loved the boba. But at 100% sweet, the drink was wayyy too sweet that we had to dilute it with water. Next time I would get half sweet. It had a very nice black tea flavor that shone through which is unique from other boba shops.

My family and I have been patrons of Cream Pan in Tustin for nearly two decades now, even before…read morethe TikTok strawberry croissant craze and even before it opened more locations like in Fountain Valley and Lomita. The quality has just been so utterly consistent. These baked goods truly taste rustic and homemade; I believe the freshness is guaranteed and everything is baked daily. I always buy the shuku pan to make sandwiches my daily lunches and the country bread/sourdough for my avocado toast and breakfasts. The sandwiches made in-house are also recommended especially the chicken katsu and the assorted ham/tuna/egg salad. I like the croquette and egg salad in a bun especially. All of these are savory and flavorful yet subtle. I also recommend any of the pastries including curry pan, melon pan, and of course the strawberry croissants but beyond that I also really like the strawberry banana croissant and blueberry croissant. There is also a selection of drinks made in-house café-style as well as bottled Japanese drinks. The staff are friendly and I really like the space even though it's small. You can find seating outside especially if you avoid rush hours. Of all the three locations, this one is my favorite because it's so rustic and historic and really fits in with the overall vibe and aesthetic of Old Town Tustin and the El Camino Real. Please check this bakery out; it's one of the best in all of SoCal in my opinion.

Only recently was I able to visit and try their croffles and other sweets. Did NOT know that this was inside the H Mart food court in Diamond Jamboree. Parking is horrendous and the driving there is horrendous as well. Probably the easiest and least horrifying option just to automatically default to is to just park in the overflow lot right next to the plaza. There's no indicator for the parking garage so on a particularly busy day, you can head all the way to the top, find nothing and navigate through the hell crowds trying to leave. Ambiance is a very casual, counter order business in the food court. There's seating there, but we ate really close by. Definitely something you have to eat immediately or the texture will not be optimal or it might get soggy. We got the tiramisu croffle and they toasted it and put it together for us there. The lady working there packed it up nicely in a to go box and we got some cookies (regular ones and almond crisp ones). It's a bit sweet, but they're dessert pastries so that makes sense. Goes great with a brewed cup of tea. Croffle had a nice semi-chewy texture and the tiramisu flavor added a bit of a coffee taste to it. Good balance of the cream and croffle. The cookie wasn't too bad either. Overall not a bad to go dessert spot.
