    Long due in draft review and finally I have the chance to write wonders about this fantastic place. My first time was during Valentines weekend one of my besties invited me to go there and we had the famous caneles and there were exquisite. The Cakery is very minimalist Japanese style although the pastries are so very French. If you have to be in the Sorrento Mesa area, do not think twice and go get your sweet stuff there, is it very worth it!

    Finally got a chance to try the Cakery. Got a slice of their passion fruit basque cheesecake and it is a little pricey for the size you get. The taste is amazing though! Definitely a place to go to if you want a little treat for yourself. Service is attentive - ordering was easy. Ambiance is pretty minimal and great for folks those who are remote or students.

    Service was great. My Matcha Cinnamon Almond Milk Latte was delicious. The Egg Sando was bland, which is why I'm giving them 3 stars. I'd like to come back and try their cheesecake. They have plenty of other pastries, along with an assortment of cheesecake flavors. I also liked how clean and minimally designed their cafe is. Parking was also a breeze because they're situated in a plaza with plenty of space. The Mon Chourie Cream Puff was delicious. They happened to have a pop up and we preordered them!! 10/10 you gotta try it.

    I tried the Eggy Sando (3/5). It had a very mild flavor. I also tried the Jolly Brown Latte (5/5). It was not too sweet and did not taste too strongly of coffee. I want to go back to try other sandwiches and cheesecakes. Mon Chourie had a Pop Up there. I really enjoyed the Korean style cream puffs that we preordered. They were ready at our pickup time. Service was good. They have indoor seating only. It was easy finding parking.

    I stopped by The Cakery Cafe and had a bit of a mixed experience. The matcha latte was really good--perfectly smooth, earthy, and well-made. However, I was pretty disappointed with the carrot cake, as the texture and flavor just didn't hit the mark for me. It's a cute spot with nice service, but for a place with "cakery" in the name, I expected a bit more from the baked goods.

    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!

    Desserts!

    This place is amazing! First of all, it's spacious and you can sit in there and work or meet friends, & enjoy a nice, quiet atmosphere. Their desserts are truly exceptional and delicious! Next time, I want to try their Matcha and sandwiches. There is ample parking, which is always helpful. I would highly recommend The Cakery Cafe for any dessert needs or just to relax with a yummy snack & beverage. Definitely a great place to buy a special gift from. A special & big thanks to EJ!

    Cute little place that's somewhat hidden in the village area. Inside is very simple, clean and bright. The cheesecakes are tasty but texture is a bit denser and tops less carmelized/burnt than the basque cheesecake. Prices are a bit high for the portion but still overall nice for an occasional treat.

    I absolutely love the basque cheesecake from the Cakery in Carmel Valley and was so excited when they opened one closer to me here! There's some seating inside this location which is nice. We ordered a couple slices of cheesecake which were delicious as always and this was the first time I tried their drink. I tried the injeolmi matcha and it was soo good. I usually like drinks that aren't too sweet and it was the perfect balance for me and I love the nuttiness of the injeolmi. Prices aren't cheap but I love their food & drink so much, I can't help it :')

    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.

    Flat white & iced pistachio latte

    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.

    Injeolmi matcha latte, yuzu basque cheesecake, and hojicha basque cheesecake
    Jason Y.

    This place is great! The space is has a nice small cafe feel and has a lot of natural lighting adding to the chill vibes. We tried the injeolmi matcha latte and it's definitely a must try! I got 30% sugar but I think they recommend 50%. If you're a less sugar person for boba I feel 30% is fine. The yuzu cheesecake is always hits but nice to try hojicha.

    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 (:

    If you are looking for a Philly cheesesteak.. this pop up is legit!! They are usually at the Fall…read moreBrewing off Miramar on Tuesdays but we missed it so we went to the pop up on Friday at the Fall Brewing in North Park (since we were in the area that evening). This place is very good and all the guys were super friendly. The Philly cheesesteak was so good. The sandwich came out super hot and was filled with so much meet and the combo of the onions, cheese and bell peppers (even though I'm not a big fan of them) was so tasty. It also comes with mushrooms (which I love) but we were sharing and he doesn't like mushrooms so we opted out of them. The sandwich is pretty big, I only ate a quarter of it and was full! Try them out.. either at the Miramar or North Park location... but check their schedule first.

    New England classics in the form of beef sandwiches, lobster rolls, and cheesesteaks at Wicked Rare…read moreBeef, a popup now frequently operating on the patio at Fall Brewing in North Park on Fridays. The menu was small and curated, making a selection easy... or so I thought. I honestly didn't much care for the Cheesesteak, finding the Chipotle Avocado Beef way more enticing alongside their well-known Super 3-Way Beef sandwich, but the dude somehow convinced us in our ultra hungry states that we didn't want the Chipotle Avocado Beef, that their "well-known" Cheesesteak was a must instead. Again, super hungry, so didn't argue, but was confuzzed as to why he was trying to talk us out of something I wanted in spite of its similarities to the 3-way beef sandwich (his other reason for steering us towards to the Cheesesteak huh?). Said Cheesesteak with the works (cheese, onions, pepper and mushrooms), while piping hot and gigantic, was bland and the bread a little crusty/ old. The 3-way beef, while the meat was not exactly warmed up enough on the grill, was actually super delicious. Not nearly as delicious as a famed beef sandwich from a shop in PB, but still good-ish. The onion bun was much preferred to the crusty cheesesteak bread too. All sandwiches are bound to get you sloppy and full with such a generous protein portion. You will not leave hungry. I was much fulfilled following my state of hunger, but with much left to be desired for the Cheesesteak that I didn't even want!
