    Latte
    siri g.

    This place feels pretty new, when asked they said they've only been open since November 2025. It's a great spot to study or get some work done, and there's plenty of parking in the lot, which is great. I ordered a latte, which was good, but they didn't have a "for here" cup, which was a bit of a bummer. I also tried the cinnamon coffee muffin, and it just wasn't for me, although they had a lot of other pastries, so maybe I just picked the wrong one. The staff was friendly and clearly working hard, which I appreciated. All the high tables were occupied, so I ended up sitting at one of the lower tables on the floor and honestly, it turned out to be surprisingly comfortable.

    Love the cheesecake. We saw an Instagram of the cheesecake and we love it once we ate it. It was not like any other cheesecake. It was not overly sweet as it balance with the cheesecake. It had that awesome crunch to it. It was worth the 21 dollars for this cake and even though it was kind of on the high end side, it was a limited time dessert that is worth once in a while. Didnt know there was gold on top of the cheesecake as it was my first time eating anything like it. The pistachio latte was delicious as well and kind of balance the sweetness with the bitterness. Will come here again and will order the lemon dessert for my daughter. If you want to come here for the Dubai chocolate cheesecake, I would recommend calling the Cafe to see if they have any as it is only for a limited time and only on the weekends. The staff and owner are really nice people.

    Finally stopped by for some coffee and desserts since we were in the area. The space is small yet gave minimal aesthetic vibes. The baristas were friendly, knowledgeable, and offered excellent recommendations. We ordered the yuzu financier, flat white, and pistachio latte. The financier had a dense texture and leaned a bit too sweet for my preference. However, both the pistachio latte and flat white were well-balanced, smooth, and full of flavor. Definitely worth a stop if you're in the area.

    My friend and I stopped by The Cakery Friday morning, and no wait! Parking was a breeze, the cafe was clean, and so photogenic! We received great service and quickly got our drinks - we ordered the iced earl grey matcha and it was so good! I think they add earl grey syrup in the foam and the drink itself. It was perfectly balanced with the earthy matcha! I'm looking forward to coming back and trying out the basque cheesecake and caneles (:

    I visited for the first time recently and loved the vibe! The earl grey matcha latte was amazing, not too sweet, and had great flavor. Delinda, the worker at the front counter, was super pleasant and gave us great recommendations. They also have free wifi and good seating. I would study here or just come for a coffee chat. Definitely coming back for more!

    The desserts here are delicious! It's a very minimalistic space that's perfect for studying, but is a little bit small so can get packed easily. Service is quick and easy. I would come back to try more flavors of their different desserts for sure!

    Earl grey matcha $8.25

    Located in Miramar. They have a small parking lot but there is also street parking. Check their instagram as their hours may change. You walk in the right side, look at the desserts in the middle for a close up. The display case and menu are closer to the register. They sell desserts, drinks and food. Staff are nice and everything comes out quickly. They have one large table, two tables in the middle and small benches along the wall with chargers but I would not recommend to work from here as it is very small as seating is limited. Tried: The Garden Turkey $12.99 Turkey, Cheese, Lettuce, Tomato, Red Onion, with Mayo and Mustard. Make sure to ask for it to be toasted. Onions were very sharp. Usually pretty good. The Signature Club $14.50 Turkey, Ham, 2 slices of Havarti Cheese, Bacon, Lettuce, and Tomato on toasted Wheat Bread. Good, I switch between this and the other sandwiches as my fav's. Iced Earl Grey Matcha $8.25 - good Iced double Hojicha $8.25 - good Vanilla Latte $6.50 - good hot but small Cookies & Cream slice $8.50 - just okay Matcha slice $8.50 - just okay Prices are a little high for the desserts which are very small. The drinks are also priced fairly high as well. I would come back for their sandwiches. I love that you can get them for breakfast!

    The assortment of desserts and drinks here are amazing! Try to go here early in the day because they definitely run out of items quickly. Also, they don't have a lot of seating, so you can either wait for a table or just take it to go. One slice of the black sesame basque cheesecake was $8.50, but it was really filling. It was the perfect balance of flavors, and I love how the black sesame flavor really came through. The yuzu white chocolate financier was so unique, and I like how it wasn't too sweet. I also got the iced earl grey matcha, which is a matcha latte with an earl grey cloud. This was also pretty pricy at $8.25, and then adding oat milk costs an additional $0.50. It was a tasty drink though, and I'd order it again. On a different day, I was in a savory mood and got the Signature Club sandwich ($14.50) which came with turkey, ham, bacon, cheese, lettuce, and tomato on wheat bread. This sandwich was pretty filling, but my friend's Cakery Grilled Sandwich ($14.50) looked really juicy so I think I'd get that instead next time. Overall, despite the higher prices, this is a solid choice for desserts and drinks.

    The Cakery Cafe is another new place that has organized itself in a suite amongst the industrial warehouses in the Miramar neighborhood. There must be a good deal on the leasing terms as the area has become an incubator for these kinds of fledgling businesses (e.g. bakeries, cafes, dessert shops, etc). Open parking spaces were not an issue as this was not a high traffic district. I was surprised at how many customers were seated when I arrived. The dining area was not huge with assorted stools, benches, and small round tables making up most of the seating. Two four-top tables were the largest accommodations available. On two ledges leading up to the service counter were models (artificial?) of some of the available desserts. More savory and sweet products were on display inside separate glass cases next to the counter. Two menu sheets were spread out in front of the register. The left one listed the six sandwiches and a pastry (Espresso Muffin). The right page showed the coffee and tea offerings. I decided to order a Ham & Cheese sandwich along with a slice of Cookies & Cream cheesecake. Ham, cheese, tomato, lettuce, and mayo were placed in between toasted artisan bread, cut in half, and wrapped in wax paper. It was a little pricey ($13) for the size of the sandwich which tasted okay. The piece of cheesecake was dense. You could see the dark spots of the cookies blended in with the cream to make up the middle of the dessert. The slice was taller rather than longer, but the product was still creamy and filling. The service was friendly and efficient. If it wasn't for the driving distance, then I would come back more frequently to sample other goodies from The Cakery Cafe.

    Stopped by on a Saturday afternoon and surprised it wasn't busy. A lot of seating area with minimalistic interior. The baristas were super friendly! Ordered a hojicha latte with hojicha cream too, top tier if you like hojicha! Not too sweet and a great balance with hojicha powder and milk. We tried the lemon and vanilla Madeline and both were sooo soft and good flavor. You could definitely taste the lemon and vanilla. The canele had a nice outer crunch and soft vanilla flavor inside. Looking forward to coming back to try the other drinks and pastries!

    The Cakery opened it's own cafe?!!! Their lil shop in Carmel Mountain was already a hit, so I was so excited when I heard they opened a cafe. My favs are the earl grey n white chocolate earl grey madeleines!!! Not overpowering, but such great earl grey flavor. Light but creamy filling and a moist, airy cake. GET THE YUZU CHEESECAKE It was my first time getting their yuzu flavor and the light citrus pairs soooo well with the cheesecake. Quite literally mind blown. Not heavy like other cheesecakes! And how did they make the yuzu taste fresh?! The matchas were on the pricier end, but had great flavor and they perfected their earl grey flavor for their matcha. It's a cute, small, but open cafe. I wouldn't say it's the type of cafe meant for people to study, but will be going back for the desserts :) oh and I will say some of their desserts sell out quicker than others, so I recommend going earlier to see all their options

    Such a cool new cafe and bakery sandwiched between Sorrento Mesa and Miramar on Trade St off Camino Santa Fe. Luckily for me, it is also a coffee shop and they offer some great coffee. I ordered the Golden Croissant breakfast sandwich and a drip coffee. The croissant sandwich came with a fluffy egg scramble, savory ham, avocado, and cheese for $10.00 plus tax. The eggs were well prepared and lightly seasoned. The croissant was very good. It had a good butter texture with a nice crispiness on its exterior. It was a delicious croissant breakfast sandwich. The cakery offers a melee of decadent desserts, including espresso muffins for $5.50 and a variety of beautiful cheese cakes. The Cakery offers a full espresso bar and offer teas as well. If you need to get your matcha fix, they have you covered. The young ladies at the counter were very nice. There's plenty of room here to lounge, chat, and have meetings. Wi-Fi is available.

    A new dessert shop and cafe tucked away in Miramar! It is a beautiful space with a good amount of parking. There are some chairs and tables for seating as well. A great spot for coffee/matcha, desserts, and conversations! The madeleines were the moistest and softest madeleines I've EVER had! They were not dry at all and had amazing flavor. We tried the Dark Rocher (highly highly recommended trying!!) and White Chocolate Earl Grey. We also tried the Espresso Basque Cheesecake, which was creamy and rich with coffee flavor that perfectly complimented the richness of the dessert. Now, the drinks here are also a hit! We tried the double hojicha and earl grey matcha. Double hojicha was perfection and had amazing hojicha flavor. Best hojicha latte is SD! The earl grey matcha was also very delicious and had a good balance of flavors. Sweetness was great at 100% for both drinks. Definitely check out The Cakery Cafe if you have a sweet tooth and need a little sweet treat!

    Still my go to place when I'm craving something sweet and special. Their cakes may be pricey, but…read morein my opinion, for the amount of work, effort, and quality of ingredients, I think they continue to be fair. For example, some other specialty bakeries/shops are charging similar prices for cakes and cheesecakes that are much simpler. In comparison, Extraordinary Dessert cakes take 3-4 days to make, have 6-8 alternating layers, and are typically adorned with edible gold and/or flowers. The key is to find which items you like and which are okay to pass on next time. What we ried this time: -Match Misu Cake (7/10): ricotta cake layers soaked in matcha and layered with marscapone whipped cream. This one was pretty good and ranks in my middle to high range. I only wish there was more matcha flavor (maybe if you dine in and get the sauce, this would help) or the matcha was paired with another flavor ... either go fruity (maybe a raspberry sauce, strawberry pieces, white peach pieces, or like a peach oolong cream layer) or go chocolately/coffee (maybe had some crushed up chocolate covered espresso beans). My go to's: -Ivoire Royale (10/10) - my ultimate favorite still. If you like light desserts, white chocolate, berries, and moist vanilla cake, thus one is for you. Classy and unpretentious -Shangrila (10/10) - my other favorite and will make you feel like a princess with all the pink chocolate curls. A little bit adventurous and innocently elegant. Ones to skip: -Au Chocolate / La Bete Noire / Dame Chocolate - get the Viking instead. That's my favorite of all their chocolate cakes -Lemon ricotta - get the Passionfruit Ricotta instead -Torta misu - the matcha misu is better. The tortilla misuse made me want a regular piece of tirmaisu than a cake version -Coconut cream - not bad, not amazing though

We politely asked if it would be possible to purchase a small cup of fruit , even just a couple strawberries cut up, because one child in our group cannot have sweets due to very strict dietary restrictions . Instead of simply saying they were unable to accommodate the request or offering another option, we were told to "go somewhere else," despite already spending the amount we did . The complete lack of professionalism and basic customer service was honestly shocking. It's disappointing to be treated that way at a place we have supported so consistently. This place has been going downhill , management for this place needs to step up .
