A Hidden Gem in Berkeley! I discovered this amazing coffee shop about five months ago, and it has quickly become one of my favorites! Last week, I brought my family along, and everyone loved it--from my girlfriend to my 14-month-old baby, who enjoyed the food just as much as we did. I was thoroughly impressed with the customer service provided by the owner and her daughters. They were warm and welcoming, making our visit even more enjoyable. The food and pastries are absolutely delicious! The quality of the ingredients really shines through, and everything we tried was bursting with flavor. The café is also very clean and well-kept, which adds to the overall pleasant experience. They offer a fantastic variety of breakfast and lunch options, as well as mimosas, which is a lovely touch! To the owner (whose name I can't recall), keep doing what you're doing! This place is truly excellent, and I can't wait to come back. Highly recommend! read more

Wow, what a hidden gem! I had no idea this amazing spot existed. While in the area I wanted to grab a quick espresso and came upon Sweet Bites Bakery & Brunch. Such a sweet family (three generations!) who work here :) I ordered a few treats, all homemade, for the family. Mini cupcakes and small square slices of cake including Raspberry Cream, Coconut Custard, and 3 Leches Cookies n Cream. They do custom cakes and omg the cutest mini cakes (see picture for size). They also execute everything fresh and baked with love. Such an adorable spot ~ besides yummy sweets, they also offer savory items. Upon asking a few questions, I heard they're known for their fried chicken! From fried chicken and waffles, a 2pc/3pc/4pc with sides, and the fried chicken sandwich, this is such a fun menu item you don't casually walk into often. They offer small bites, salads, other sandos including a burger, other brunch items including skillets and pull-apart french toast, and last but certainly not least..boozy items like michelada flights and bubbly! I honestly can't wait already to return for the fried chicken, to try more desserts, and of course, partake in their fun boozy menu on the weekend! Appreciate the amazing service, and can't wait to hear more about your lovely family biz! read more

Ordered a 12" round red velvet cake with cream cheese frosting with minimal instructions. They asked about birthday girl age and favorite colors and it came out beautifully decorated. My daughter LOVED it. They added glitter and sparkle without me even asking. Note the 12" they said serves 16-20, and we had about 20 people and we only ate half. Next time I will definitely size down! Cake had 3 layers and was $95. Most importantly, it was so moist and delicious!! The online ordering was easy - they followed up the next morning to confirm details (opportunity to ask questions and adjust as needed) and we didn't pay until we picked up. read more

Absolutely loved this place! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with such warmth, and friendly vibes. This place is very clean, inviting, and just the kind of spot you think about when wanting to grab some coffee and a treat.

The customer service was top tier...the staff was super attentive and kind without being overbearing. I can't forget to note the atmosphere!! Cozy yet modern, with thoughtful touches that make it feel both productive and relaxing. Total hidden gem. I'll definitely be coming back again the next time I'm in Berkeley read more

I stopped by Sweet Bites on a Sunday because I wanted to pick up some baked goods as a "Thank you" for someone. My initial pick of bakery was closed that day but I'm so glad Yelp suggested this one nearby. I ordered 4 slices of cake. The recipient was very happy with it. I received many happy comments the next day about how much the family enjoyed it. To add: the lady taking the order had amazing customer service. read more

Before even ordering, this restaurant is SO CUTE and Amanda, whom I later learned is the owner, is super welcoming as well as talented. Y'all. There's a mini burger looking cake that's tiny and detailed like whoa. Not to mention all the other cakes and baked confections lining the windows? There's a huge list of fun cafe drinks which I didn't really try but it seems like a great spot for people who like fancy lattes and matcha. I just ordered 2 salads to go and will absolutely be back! I came to take photos for a client of mine and stayed to enjoy a slice of strawberry shortcake which actually was my faaaaavorite cake as a child. read more

Sweet Bites is the sweetest family-run local neighborhood bakery. My kid and I enjoy stopping in every so often to chat with the friendly owners and have a treat. Their food is great too. Last weekend they went above and beyond to ensure my son got the most amazing Minecraft cake for his birthday party. The photo doesn't show the edible printed Minecraft images on the sides that the kids went nuts for :) Thank you Sweet Bites! read more

Came here about an hour before closing to grab some sweet treats for someone's birthday. I was pleasantly surprised to see that the pastry case was still full of treats to choose from. I appreciated the variety of desserts available and purchased the triple chocolate, carrot cake, strawberry, German chocolate, coconut, and raspberry fudge. The employees were friendly and threw in a candle and "Happy Birthday" cake topper for the occasion. I should've checked inside the box to make sure all my cakes slices were there before leaving, but we were eager to go home and dig in, and the raspberry fudge was missed-oops! I contacted Sweet Bites Bakery (with an almost immediate response from them), and they were super understanding and had it ready for us to pick up the next day. Customer service is top tier here and the cakes are just as amazing. I'm glad to have discovered this place and would definitely come back if I'm in the area to check out their food options. I love a place that serves food AND has a great selection of fresh-made desserts. read more

Sweet Bites has become a beloved part of our family celebrations, and just because indulgences. This family owned business is the sweetest with exceptional customer service, a gorgeous interior to dine in or sip on anything from a smoothie to a mimosa, and custom cake services, with options to accommodate all sorts of dietary allergies and restrictions (nuts, gluten, dairy, eggs, etc.) They've helped us create birthday cakes more beautiful and delicious than we could have imagined (mango tres leches, a lemon cake with guava jam, a Black Forest cake with chocolate and cherry--all with custom designs), and the most darling cupcakes for a baby shower (chocolate and vanilla, styled to look like suns and rainbows, with both gluten and gluten-free cupcakes). They (literally) went the extra mile to make sure we got what we needed: When we were running behind before the start of a party, they made a delivery for us--truly exceptional. I told friends who live outside of Berkeley about Sweet Bites, and they've faced traffic and crossed multiple bridges multiple times to get here, it's that good. We love Sweet Bites! read more

I've been walking by this new business at least once a week now for the past two months. Stopping in occasionally to get something small, like a brownie or eclair, which were both amazing by the way. Recently, I decided to try out their cakes for a birthday celebration. The lovely lady there walked me through everything they had available to mix and match sponge, filling and icing to pretty much make what I wanted. With her excellent recommendations, I chose a spice flavored sponge with apple pie filling and a white Chantilly cream icing and fall coloring decoration. She told me they tend to use less sugar in their recipes than most do. This was music to my ears! The cake was very visually appealing, and the flavor was so delicious and light! As quoted from the birthday boy, "Best birthday cake ever!" I would have included a photo but it was too gone before I thought of it! read more

Kiara met my husband somewhere and told him about her place. We decided to try it and they have my 3 favorite items-fried chicken, german chocolate cake and ice cream cake. The chicken is sourced for a local vendor and it is not your usual saline solution injected chicken but quality you can taste-fried to perfection-very crunchy on the outside and moist/steamy on the inside (Mama, you did Good!!!) German chocolate cake was equal parts cake and frosting-not overly sweet-again-perfect! I haven't tried the ice cream cake yet but they looked mighty tasty. As this is a family restaurant, you can tell this family has poured their heart and soul into this welcoming, clean, and bright place. Kiara represents her family well and everyone pitches in. The signage is very subtle, it's on the corner of Addison and San Pablo. Do give it a try, well worth your while. read more

I ordered a cake for my husband's birthday. The taste, design & service everything was amazing. Amanda was quick to respond to my requests in terms of customizing the cake flavor & designs. I highly recommend this place to order cakes for your events. read more

The pastries here are absolutely incredible. I've had my fair share around, and I can honestly say these might be some of the best macarons I've ever tasted. if not the best. As a frequent traveler (and a big fellow who appreciates good food) I was genuinely impressed. On top of that, the warm, welcoming family atmosphere made the experience even more special. Truly an amazing spot. read more

The fried chicken here is worth a trip! While they don't advertise it as southern fried chicken (which is probably wise, as a Georgia native I know people are quick to pile on if it isn't the exact style they grew up with) it certainly fits the bill. Even most sides are what you would find in the south, mac & cheese, Cole slaw, mashed potatoes... Two of us split a 4 piece with mixed dark & white meat with mac & cheese and mashed potatoes. The mac & cheese was very good, the mashed potatoes didn't look delicious but they were! It came with 2 pieces of cornbread muffins, with a little pat of butter on top which was a nice touch. We'll probably add one more piece of chicken if we can next time bc my boyfriend wanted more :) A lovely surprise was that they serve beer! So we added on a couple Modelos when the food came. The service couldn't have been nicer! It was essentially full service besides ordering and paying at the counter. The server brought everything out after that and was so kind and attentive without being overbearing at all. And the restaurant was spotless. I'm looking forward to returning to try the fried chicken sandwich. All the excellent reviews are right, this is a local business that is worth supporting! read more

Was looking for a sweet potato pie and found this hidden gem. The customer service was amazing. They really make you feel welcome, and the pies and cakes are amazing. Long story short I left with 2 sweet potato pies, 2 lemon meringue pies and a German chocolate cake. Happy Holidays read more

If you like fresh ingredients, quality food, and great service, you'll really like SB. I had the breakfast sandwich and on the house made croissant, it was one of the best. Even the coffee was quality. The agua fresca was refreshing and satisfying. I also got the fried chicken with Mac n cheese and veggies. The fried chicken was crispy, flavorful, and juicy. I really enjoyed it and would recommend it if you like fried chicken. The Mac and cheese is also the style I like and I would get it again. Overall, I suggest you try this place if you want to get some fresh food made with love. There is street parking and it's very accessible. read more

You must try their fried chicken sandwich it is DELICIOUS !!! Their cakes are the best in the Bay in my opinion! they're made with so much love and great quality ingredients. Anyone who's come into this place will agree that customer service at Sweet Bites is top tier!!!! One of my million reasons to keep coming back! This morning I had their home made guava croissant and I am giving it a 12 out of 10. The place is always clean and welcoming!!! read more

The best croissant sandwich I've had. The cheese was mended perfectly, the egg was fresh cooked, and the ham was delish. Also, wonderful service, offered to open/close the front door for me and made sure I had evening I needed (water, hot sauce, etc) even though I had a simple order. Kiara was so friendly and Amanda (the chef) confirmed she made everything fresh to order. When you get guac, they don't cut open the avocado till you order it! read more

I went for a cup of coffee and ended up ordering cupcakes and a cake for my daughter's birthday. Everything was so delicious and the vanilla cake with strawberries was a hit at the party.
