    A white chocolate mocha
    Alaysia B.

    The drinks were amazing and the pastries look super delicious!!!!! Overall the people are very sweet. I got my drink very quickly and hot . It's family owned so nice vibe and feel to the cafe . It pretty quiet for the most part and i love that they have merch and instagram worthy decorations

    Shoreside Bakery is a cute, yet sophisticated charming family-owned gem in downtown San Diego. They offer a fantastic selection of sourdough sandwiches, European pastries, and high-quality craft coffee. The atmosphere is incredibly friendly and relaxing, with great options to sit either inside or outdoors. It's the perfect spot whether you're a tourist exploring downtown or a local looking for a unique coffee drink and a chill city vibe. I highly recommend the Juice: A total must-try--so yummy and unique! The cafe mocha presentation is beautiful and truly inspiring. Jason was super welcoming and friendly. I highly recommend the turkey sandwich, and if you're into chocolate, they make an amazing thick chocolate filled cookie that's oh so delicious... among other yummy, unique European desserts. I was pleasantly surprised and so were my taste buds!!!

    Food: 10/10 Service: 7/10 Ambiance: 8/10 Honey cake was one of the best cakes I've ever had, and the place had a super cute interior too. Would come back to try their toasts/sandwiches

    Great place for breakfast or lunch at Downtown San Diego. Yummy cakes and very nice atmosphere! Service was 10/10

    Crepes with Nutella and raspberry honey cake
    Maria I.

    Amazing experience! I've been wanting to check this place out since they opened and happened to be near by today. Breakfast wrap was amazing, the cakes were fresh and not too sweet( which is a main criteria for me)... ahh and the coffee! Their coffee is just soooo good ! Everyone was super friendly and positive. I will be back!

    Borscht, in-house made sourdough bread, meringue cake slice and latte

    Food here is superb, every bite feels homemade, full of flavor, and made with real care. You can truly taste the quality. The ambiance has a cozy European charm: warm, inviting, and effortlessly genuine. The team greets you with a smile)) Yes, even at 6:30 am -- I checked!... lol You feel right at home from the moment you walk in. The coffee, pastries, sandwiches, and friendly service make it all come together.

    Mango passion fruit cheesecake & an americano
    Abigail L.

    I have season tickets to the symphony in the afternoon and usually arrive downtown quite early. It's become my routine to stop in here and get an americano and a slice of something. The atmosphere is lovely and the service is always kind and prompt. I order to eat there and they give you the nicest mug and tableware I've had at a small cafe. I've tried the honey cake (fantastic!!) and most recently the mango cheesecake. The cheesecake itself was just fine but the fruit gel on top was texturally off to me and very bland. I was excepting a punch of flavor, it being named mango passion fruit and all. But it had almost no flavor aside from the coconut sprinkles. The coffee is always good! I think I missed the mark in ordering the cheesecake. I'll continue to go as it's just around the corner from the symphony hall and is actually open on Sunday afternoons unlike a lot of places downtown. I haven't tried their breads but they look phenomenal and they even sell sourdough starter! I've not eaten any of their savory foods but they also offer sandwiches and such if you're wanting lunch. Definitely worth stopping in if you're downtown.

    Stopped by Shoreside Bakery and got the Napoleon cake - absolutely amazing. Perfect layers, fresh taste, and not overly sweet.

    Prosciutto and mozzarella toast with fig glaze (to go)
    Danielle S.

    Love this spot! They have a great little menu. It's gourmet fur sure. I haven't tried the gourmet tuna with caviar toast yet but that's next on my list. I was craving their prosciutto mozzarella toast with fig glaze again. So delicious! The freshly baked bread is to die for! For those who are gluten free, they have that too. There are lots of sweet treats - I've never even seen a Dubai cheesecake until today. I'm going to need to try that to! Can't wait to try everything on the menu. The people are great here - very friendly and make you feel really comfortable. The ambiance is beautiful - the music, the decor. It's just a perfect little spot.

I ordered the Island Girl Coffee, a macadamia latte, and asked for it less sweet. To me, it tasted very similar to a flavored hazelnut latte from Starbucks. Even with reduced sweetness, it was still sweeter than I prefer and had a slightly artificial flavor. If you enjoy flavored Starbucks-style coffee, you'll probably like it, but it's just not my personal preference. I actually didn't finish my drink because the flavor wasn't for me. That said, the cashier was very sweet, and the dessert display looked beautiful and tempting. While the coffee didn't win me over, I'd still come back to give their desserts a try since they looked much more appealing than the drink I ordered. Overall, a nice spot with friendly service, but next time I'll be skipping the flavored coffee and trying one of the desserts instead.

The crunchy waffle cone crumbles on top added a nice texture and made each bite even better. We also wanted to try the mango mochi balls, but we got there later in the evening and someone bought the last order right before we checked out. Talk about bad timing! We ended up trying the matcha mochi balls instead. I'm personally not a matcha fan, so they weren't for me, but if you enjoy matcha, you'll probably like them. My sister was more than happy to finish them for me. Next time I'll definitely come earlier so I can snag the mango mochi before someone else beats me to it! Overall, Yuki Yuki is a cute dessert spot with light, delicious cakes that are the perfect ending to a great meal. I'll definitely be back.

The cinnamon roll itself was also really soft and pillowy. It's decently sized too, definitely share with your group! -Whoopie pie: forgot what the full name of this pastry was but it was essentially two green tea cookies that sandwiched a marshmallow filling. So good! -Black Sesame croissant: the black sesame filling was so good! Not grainy and spread evenly throughout the pastry. I would skip the drinks and cookies. Drinks were very standard and not worth the price (each pastry is $7-$10 already) and there's better matcha at other places. Cookies were a little underwhelming- too crunchy for my taste.
