I'm so glad we decided to grab lunch at Cakery Cafe! The interior has a great vibe--it's extremely clean, tidy, and inviting, and the friendly, helpful service makes you feel right at home. We tried the Greenhouse and the Cakery Grilled Chicken, and I was seriously impressed. The food came out straight from the kitchen steaming hot, incredibly fresh, and bursting with flavor. The chicken was tender and perfectly seasoned. We paired our meal with a hot pistachio latte and an iced matcha with cream, both of which were crafted perfectly. Great vibes, pristine space, and phenomenal fresh food! read more

My husband has stopped by twice in the past few weeks to surprise me with mid-morning treats, and somehow each visit outdoes the last. This morning's delivery included cakes, a hojicha latte, madeleines, and a croissant breakfast sandwich... every bite was delectable. I haven't even visited in person yet, but honestly, the experience already speaks for itself. When he walks into my office with those beautifully packaged goodies...branding polished down to the smallest detail, even the cutlery--it turns heads. My coworkers are equal parts impressed and envious. If this is the impression from takeout alone, I can only imagine how delightful it must be in person. read more

friend ordered the regular matcha for me. regular sugar and asked for no ice since it was for later and wow. i expected the cup to be a little emptier because of the ice but the cup was more than half empty the cup is already small as it is and the portion they filled was the skinnier portion of the cup as well. for $7.5, that was a little crazy and very disappointing. the matcha was decent, definitely can taste the matcha and the quality was good. i got normal sugar which was perf for me and the oat milk made the matcha flavor standout imo read more

The Cakery Cafe - matcha latte - Sandwiches Near Me - San Diego, California

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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 (: read more

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.

Definitely coming back for more! read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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 read more

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. read more

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! read more

The Cakery Cafe is a new Korean-French fusion bakery that just opened up in the Miramar area. My girlfriend and I decided to try it out on a Sunday afternoon and it was pretty busy but still plenty of seating! They had smaller tables and bigger tables for those who want to sit and chat, or sit and get some work done. They had decorative displays of their pastries by the area where you line up and the rest of what they have to offer on the shelf on the front counter. They offer savory sandwiches, madeleines, and cheesecake. We opted to try their sweet pastries and ordered some drinks to go along with it. I ordered the Double Hojicha Latte and I was blown away. I am a big hojicha fan and typically don't see this type of drink offered in cafes so I knew I had to try. The hojicha cream paired with the hojicha latte itself had a very rich, roasted tea flavor that I loved. My girlfriend got the Earl Gray Matcha Latte, which was amazing as well. The Earl Gray cream top wasn't too sweet and had a great flavor to it. You can really taste the quality of the matcha and we were pleasantly surprised with how good both drinks were! With the pastries, I can go on and on about them. I thoroughly enjoyed all of them. The Dark Rocher Madeleine was my favorite, surprisingly. I was scared it would be too sweet with how much chocolate but they truly nailed the flavor. The chocolate wasn't overpowering and the madeleine itself was very soft and moist. I don't think you can go wrong with trying any of their flavors! Overall, this cafe truly surprised me with how good everything was and I can only give my highest recommendations! Come here for some sweet treats and delicious drinks on your next cafe crawl! read more

Food I love this place so much! I've ordered from The Cakery before they had a storefront so I was quite happy to find out that they opened their second location! I've only tried the whole cheesecakes and bagel sandwiches and both were delicious. The sandwich is really refreshing with a chewy bagel. The flavor is not too strong. Their basque cheesecakes come in a variety of Asian inspired flavors like ube, black sesame, early gray, yuzu, and mix more! You can get slices or a sampler to try things out. You can also order ahead of time online (no earlier than 3 days ahead I believe? ) Service The owner is very nice and friendly! I have seen her at both store fronts and the craft markets in San Diego and she's always smiles and positivity! One weird moment I did have was when they asked for my name. I usually say "JJ", but the employee wrote Jacob and told me that it's the same difference. It was strange, but it won't deter me from going here :p Ambience Cozy, simple, and modern. Good for individuals or smaller groups. There is also WiFi to study there. No outdoor seating read more

I've been wanting to come to The Cakery for a while now and then I heard that they opened a Cafe version. This location is in an odd spot, sort of surrounded by businesses. The lot is very small and so even though they have some seating it is not a place to stay for a long time. In my opinion! -- Which I don't mind...buy a drink, eat some pastries, and enjoy! Then continue your day. The interior is modern and minimalist. I like the plant they chose to have around the space as it felt very open and bright. The price is a little on the expensive side compared to other bakery spots, but it definitely evens out because the quality is high! The textures, consistency, and taste was all superb which is hard to come by in pastries (like what they offer). We ordered Espresso Basque Cheesecake. I am actually not a cheesecake fan, but always wanted to give these a try. I know of them having no crust and a slightly creamy texture. It's supposed to be lighter than the New York style cheesecakes. Originally, I thought the basque cheesecake slices in the case were small, but after eating I think it's the perfect size or actually quite generous. My brother and I shared one and near the end of it we were slowing down and getting full. This one I think actually had a slight crust and I'm not complaining since I do enjoy the crusts! The basque cheesecake was actually a bit more firm than I thought it would be, but not as firm as the OG style you'd eat. The cheese notes were not super overpowering, slight tang, and the espresso was lightly there. I personally would enjoy more of an espresso oomph especially for $8 slice. But overall, it was not bad! I think next time, I'd try maybe one of their other flavors like Ube, Chocolate (Valrhona), Passionfruit, or Cookies & Cream! I also purchased 2 Cannelé de Bordeaux. These were absolutely DIVINE!! They were $4 each, but mini in comparison to other bakeries that have sold it. Despite the size, the flavor was UNMATCHED!! I've never ate a better tasting cannelé in San Diego! This cannelé reminded me of France. You had that delightful caramelized exterior and the interior was beautifully custardy with specks of vanilla bean and what tasted like a hint of rhum at the end. I could have eaten the entire case if I saved up $$! They also have drinks like coffee, matcha, and hojicha. I think they are more known for their matcha and hojicha. My brother ordered their $8.25, Iced Black Sesame Matcha with Oat Milk (+.50 cents). He said it was flavorful without being overly sweet and the matcha was prominent. Although the size was smaller compared to other matcha locations and lots of ice was given, making the quantity less than other places. Which in the end, he thought the price a little too high for him to make this a place where he comes back to for a drink. And I'm an iced coffee lover, but $6.50 for a vanilla latte is a bit steep. It was our first time at The Cakery so if they had any special deals (like 4 for $ or 6 for $) for the pastries, I think it would be nice to mention to people who might be ordering. Kind of like upselling, but not in a pushy way of course. Something else would be, making the tags a little more clearer as to which pastry it belongs to & with the price. There was a floating sign that mentioned salted caramel and I was almost thinking that they made a salted caramel cannelé lol. I think it would be cool if they made different flavored cannelé since they have such a great base already! I will be back to try other pastries- aka the Madelines. read more

My youngest daughter told me try this place because she said that the owner was her old classmates in high school. I tried the canele and it was really good the outside is crunchy and creamy on the inside, I also had the Vahlrona chocolate cheesecake which is good and dense but I like my cheesecake to be a little soft and runny in the inside but that's just me. I also had their hojicha latte and it was really good, the service was faster than some dessert place. I like this place it's very quiet, the clientele are young and for an old person like me this place is a good place to have a nice conversation or study place. There is something wrong with my cup the disappeared really fast. read more

A new cafe nestled in an unassuming street in Miramar offers a variety of beverages and desserts! The passion fruit cheesecake was delicious and the yuzu fancier was a pleasant change from the traditional tea cakes. The matcha was strong and the pairing with earl grey balanced the flavors well. The service was kind and they let us stay while they closed up after 2pm, which they didn't have to and we were incredibly thankful they did so my friends could chat a bit longer! I would recommend this spot if you're in the area! read more

The Cakery Cafe is a beautiful cafe and has excellent drinks and desserts! I came here specifically for the matcha and was not disappointed. But note that they do run out of supply closer to the end of the day. I first visited on a Friday afternoon at 1:30, half an hour before they close but they were sold out of matcha and their earl grey cloud, which is what I came for. So instead, I got their black sesame hojicha, which is a roasted green tea drink similar to matcha. It was a well balanced drink and the black sesame flavor complimented the tea well! I came back on a Saturday morning and got a earl grey matcha and canele pastry. The earl grey cloud was sooo tasty. The matcha itself wasnt too sweet, which was perfect for my taste! It is good quality matcha. I also tried one of their caneles, which had a crispy exterior and soft interior, and a delicious vanilla flavor! It is a bit expensive at $4.50 for a small dessert, but it is so yummy so I think it is worth it. I also tried their espresso cheesecake, it was a very subtle espresso flavor, and again, not too sweet. The slice was small but dense, and again a bit pricey at $9. They do have a nice minimal, classy interior. I love the clean look and their cool plants. There is a sun roof too so a good amount of natural light coming in. It is always busy when I visit, so most seating areas are full. They have some small benches and tables, and a smaller number of tables for working. It looks like a nice place to hang out but maybe not to stay for long to work. Overall, this is a great addition to the Miramar area and I will be returning for my matcha and dessert fix! read more

This cafe is so cute! Minimalist, modern, chic. I came on a Wednesday during lunchtime & it was busy! Lots of people hanging out/doing work. They serve coffees, matchas & French inspired desserts with an Asian twist. They are known for their Basque Cheesecakes & French Tea Cakes. They also serve food. Iced Hojicha Latte: Creamy & I asked for them to make it more sweeter, delicious! You cannot go wrong with any of their desserts. read more

This review is long over due. I've been a fan of the cakery for months and the new location is fantastic. I'm so happy i no longer have to fail at baking my own canelés, they are so difficult to pull off. The coffee, cheesecakes are also wonderful, the staff is attentive and super sweet. read more

I rounded up for stars since this was more of a 3.5 spot to me. Nothing was particularly bad about this spot, I just don't believe it's worth going out of your way for. If you're in the area, it's nice to get a cafe spot without having to go closer to the downtown area. There was a decent amount of parking for the day after christmas. It is in a random business park which is always interesting. I got an ube cheesecake slice and a black sesame matcha latte. Historically I can be picky with cheesecake so I do have to give it props in the sense that I did enjoy it. The con is, the ube flavor didn't really stand out to me. Also it didn't have that gooey center that I associate with a Basque cheesecake. Whether that is due to accommodate customer ignorance or to conform to the expectations of a typical cheese cake, I can see it being a reality due to either. Ignoring that the matcha is created ahead of time instead of the current trend of by order, I found the black sesame flavor didn't pop out to me. It believe it was primarily in the cream top but should you mix it, you're not really getting that flavor. I've had better but I said in the beginning, this doesn't seem to be designed to be a go out of your way spot but a local cafe spot. read more

Always excited for a new cafe in SD! It's tucked away in a business district and the parking lot is good with lots of spots. We came on a Sunday around 11:30 am and it wasn't too busy. Ordered an iced vanilla matcha and shared a double vanilla madeleine with my sister. The vanilla matcha was tasty, a good amount of sweetness and you can taste the matcha. The double vanilla madeleine was soft and moist but a bit sweet for my taste and I wasn't expecting it to have cream inside. There's a good amount of seating but the chairs aren't super comfortable. Interior was cute and aesthetic and service was friendly and pretty quick. I would come back for the vanilla matcha and their other pastries! read more

My friend bought me a canele from this place and it was so good that I had to go again before I left SD! The service is okay, didn't seem the friendliest but tbh I didn't really care since I was just there to grab my stuff and go. I got 2 caneles, a madeleine, and an iced matcha latte w oat milk. The caneles... so good!!! Might be the best I've ever had - they're nice and crispy on the outside, so yummy and custardy on the inside. Truly the perfect canele for me. Best part is that they're not too sweet and not too eggy tasting! I got the madeleine for my friend, a double vanilla one. She said it was good but not the best and she didn't like that it was cream filled lol. Anyways, onto the matcha latte - strong matcha, not bitter, perfectly sweet... best matcha I've had in SD so far!! And definitely better than some cafes in LA The cafe itself is quite spacious and I like the decor and taste in furniture. I think there is definitely room for more seats and it seems like a good spot to work out of! It's located in like a industrial/business lot - so it's hidden in a place that doesn't look like where a cafe should be, but I think it's cute and adds to its charm! read more

Yay a new cafe in SD! Location is kinda tucked away in a business district. There was a handful of parking spots and indoor seating on a Sunday around 11AM.

It wasn't too sweet, and I could taste the quality of the matcha. I drank it so quickly! The double vanilla madeleine was a bit sweet for my taste. The chairs are a bit uncomfortable lol so I wouldn't stay too long inside, but the interior is minimalistic and aesthetic. I would come back for the vanilla matcha and to try their cheesecakes and sandwiches! read more

A humble, new café in town. Went on a rainy weekend which was actually perfect. Love its core simplicity with its the modern, sleek aesthetics and quiet, clean space. The details were carefully executed from the seating, dinnerware, and packaging. All their desserts (canelés, financiers, madeleines, Basque cheesecakes) were equally delicate and delectable. My favorites are the canelé and hojicha latte. The canelés were consistently fresh with its crispy exterior but gooey texture in the inside. The owner was also super nice and inviting. Highly recommend! read more

So good! This place opened last month a half mile down the street and I feel so lucky to have this as another breakfast/brunch option. The decor is simple and is of the japandi style.

It had crispy sweet edges and a moist center. read more

Saw this place on Tiktok and knew I wanted to go when I saw the caneles (I never had one before and really wanted to try one). We ended up getting the golden croissant sandwich, the hojicha basque cheesecake, a vanilla canele, hojicha latte, and matcha latte. The matcha wasn't my personal favorite, it didn't have as strong of a matcha taste as I would like. I'm not a huge hojicha fan but the basque cheesecake was pretty good. I think the best thing was the golden croissant sandwich, but it's only available until 11am and we managed to get the last one. The canele was also pretty good! I wanted to try the earl grey flavor as well but they were already out by the time I went. I think the staff were very friendly and the aesthetics of the cafe are nice. I would go back to try their other cheesecake and canele flavors as well as their other sandwich options. read more

If you're looking for a dessert spot that prioritizes balance over sugar overload, The Cakery Cafe is a must-visit. What sets this cafe apart is its signature Korean-style approach to baking. Unlike traditional Western desserts that can be cloyingly sweet, the cakes here are light, airy, and refined--perfect for those who prefer a more subtle sweetness. The Financier were a massive hit, especially with my son. They have that perfect buttery, almond-rich flavor that makes them impossible to eat just one and the velvety mini ones are awesome. read more

Can't quite figure this one out. What I liked about their matcha latte was that it's not standard sweet - they ask if you would like to add sweet - I said no cause I want to taste the matcha. I felt like the matcha was lacking. I also had the white chocolate yuzu financier which was alright - nothing special to brag about. Also had the espresso muffin which was my favorite but it needed more of an espresso flavor. The interior was very simple - very Korean style cafe. Staff was welcoming. I think they're known for their basque cheesecake but I honestly couldn't bring myself to pay $8+ for such a small slice - it felt like robbery. It was a hard pass for me. Perhaps maybe next time I give it a try. read more

I heard that there was a new spot that recently opened up in miramar and wanted to give it a try. I stepped in and was immediately impressed with the overall decor and vibe of the restaurant. They're going for that clean, korean esque cafe style with minimalist decor, and it's a nice change from the selection of cafes that are opening up in San Diego recently. You can line up, and they have food on display on a short table before you go up to the counter to order. We came at around 1:15, about 45 minutes before the store closed and there was ample stock left of all the baked goods, which was really nice. We ended up ordering the hojicha vanilla latte, the earl grey matcha, and a chicken sandwich. Eith oat milk adjustments, the drinks came out to around 9 dollars each, and the sandwich was 15ish. We also got the chocolate basque cheesecake. Flavor-wise, everything was great! You could tell the hojicha and the matcha powder were well sourced, and didn't taste grainy at all. The basque cheesecake was nice and dense, and very well balanced between the chocolate and cheesecake. The sandwhich was the best item we had by far. The chicken was cooked to perfection, with a little crisp on the outside but remaining very juicy on the inside. Overall, I would definitely come back again! Everything was great and would definitely serve as a great study spot as there's ample amounts of seating and the items are great. Only gripe is that it's a little expensive, given that the serving sizes of each item are on the smaller side read more
