Ibarra chocolate cake
Julio G.

This was the best birthday cake we ever had. It was really great with all the options and tasted very moist + delicious! Thank you so much.

Jay R.

To me, enjoying a delicious cake is an important part of celebrating a birthday. I came across Tu Madres Bakery in my research for a local, artisanal small-batch bakery, and was intrigued by the delicious flavor combinations on their website and glowing reviews. Booking a phone consultation and subsequently placing an order through their website was a quick and easy process. I ordered a 10" 3-layer banana cake with chocolate ganache and milk chocolate buttercream frosting. I opted for a simple design with a ganache drip. The cake looked beautiful, but more importantly tasted absolutely delicious. I'm very particular about my desserts, and prefer the depth of flavors over cloying sweetness; I'm pleased to report that the cake hit on all levels! The banana cake was delicate, moist and had a subtle spice that complemented the decadence of the dark chocolate ganache. The milk chocolate buttercream had the perfect amount of sweetness. Overall, the rich flavors melded beautifully together, and I'd rather not admit how much of this scrumptious treat I could eat in one sitting. The real icing on the cake however, was the wonderful experience of working with the owner, Sarah - who was so sweet and helpful. Thank you for making my birthday feel special. I highly recommend Tu Madres Bakery for your special occasion!

Custom beer cake!

Every time we order a cake from Tu Madres, I am blown away by her attention to detail. (I mean, just look at what they accomplished with our custom beer cake order below!) THEN we slice into it, and the flavor is consistently tasty and decadent. Her latin treats are also second to none. Best bakery in San Diego!

We've been using Tu Madres Bakery for pretty much any event that needs a tasty cake. It's a hit every single time and there's none of it left by the end of the party. The cakes taste just as good as they look. She takes the things you like and puts them into a magical and yummy creation. Our entire group of friends uses her and we all look forward to tasting her next creation. I've included a few photos from a baby shower cake she most recently made, to a gender reveal cake, and a birthday cake she had made for me back in March.

Beautiful wedding cake for about 25-30 people

So delicious!!! Seriously this cake was BOMB and beautiful. Designing it with the baker was easy and fun. Also an excellent price for a wedding/event cake. Now I need to throw events just to have reason to order these cakes :)

Birthday cake was delicious!

love Tu Madres bakery. We have had our baby showers (two of them) and kid birthday cakes done. Not only do they look great but are delicious.

2 Tier Wedding Cake: Top Tier 6" 2 Layers, Bottom Tier 8" 2 Layers. Coconut cake with coconut frosting and guava cake with lemon buttercream

I have nothing but great things to say about Tu Madres Bakery! Sarah creates stunning and delicious cakes and baked goods, and goes above and beyond for her customers! We hired Tu Madres Bakery to make our cake and items for our dessert table for our wedding reception. We ordered a small cake (One layer was coconut cake with coconut buttercream, and the other layer was guava cake with guava filling and lemon buttercream), cupcakes (guava with lemon cream cheese buttercream and coconut with milk chocolate buttercream), and mini lemon cheesecake bites. All items were delivered and Sarah set all the desserts out on our table that was already decorated with all the serving platters, cake stands, and cupcake stands. It was extremely helpful, as I was too busy hosting a reception to have the time to do that myself, so Sarah was a lifesaver! The desserts were the highlight of the wedding, and my guests are still talking about how delicious the desserts were! Sarah is so talented and was able to flawlessly create the vision that I had. If anyone is in need of a wedding cake or birthday cake, I would highly recommend getting one from Tu Madres Bakery!

Latina locally made cakes that are so yummy! Sarah has done so many events for me. The best quality and reasonably priced. She is always willing to work with your budget. My favorites are the guava and pineapple upside down cakes. You will not be disappointed!

Best bakery ever! Check out the variety of cookies. My favorites where chocolate chip and walnut. Thank you!

8" 3 layer funfetti cake with milk chocolate buttercream and unicorn cake finish

Definitely will be coming back for future cake needs. Cake was delicious, there was none left by the end since everyone kept raving about how good it was. Ordering was very simple through the website and was able to add customization package to make it fit the theme. Communication was great and cake was ready on time, Sarah helped me set it up in the car and ensured the ride home would be perfect for the cake.

We went late morning on July 4 (so might have been busier than usual), but waited maybe 25 mins? Then easily found seating right away. Environment: modern building with a single room style of bathroom, as well as indoor and outdoor seats. It is in a turning area of San Diego I think (not from SD though so can't say much). A block away had some people lingering around and clothes thrown all over the sidewalk. And then another block would be super modern buildings. Interesting mix... Overall though, plenty of street parking! Food: got 4 diff things - hot dog July 4 Special: I didn't have but boyfriend said "pretty good and still crispy" - Strawberry Danish 4/5: good amount of strawberries and flavor. Also good texture too. - Pain Au Chocolate 4/5: am a huge lover of Pain Au Chocolate so I try to get it at any bakery I go to so I can compare. I'd say this one had good volume and flakiness but lacked the chocolate flavor. Wasn't much chocolate in it compared to ratio of the bread. - Orange Duck Swirl: 3.5/5: felt a bit oily to me and the duck flavor wasn't as strong as I would have liked. Wish there was a better balance between the orange and duck.

5* pastries, service. A foodie's dream- VAST assortment of creative pastries! The group before me…read morekindly waved me ahead because they knew they needed a lot more time to decide: My 3 picks today were : 1. Crab Rangoon croissant: a tweak of an American invention from the 50's. Crab Rangoon has nothing to do with Rangoon, Myanmar or Asia really. It was invented for Trader Vic's in California during the mid century "Tiki Craze" when South Pacific food and cocktails were all the rage. Cream cheese was non-existent in Asia but in the US it was combined with crab, Worcestershire etc, deep fried in wonton shells. Relic uses a buttery croissant case and baking instead of deep frying, but the result is just as crispy flaky and delicious! The crab filling is generous, decadent and delicious, especially with the sweet, sriracha-inspired jammy glaze on top. 5*!!! 2. Maple Miso kouign amann: these rich Breton pastries are how I discovered Relic almost a decade ago. They used to stock them at a cafe on University, and others, before they opened their place in Mira Mesa and long before the current store front. 3. Passion fruit guava cruffin- stuffed croissant pastry baked in muffin tins, invented in Australia 2013. I have a compulsion to order anything labeled with passionfruit or guava. Sweet and tart ate always a perfect combo. Loved all the food... not the space. Parking is rough- metered on the street only. And like every new place these days, it has the vaulted open ceiling plan which I hate! Too noisy, kids screaming and dogs barking just killed it. It's great for high energy people who don't mind all the machine noises and dishes and glass clinking. Staff is AMAZING! I hope they expand to a quieter second location with more parking. If anyone at Relic reads this, please open it in Kensington!!!

They stepped in seamlessly and were an absolute pleasure to work with during what could have been a very stressful time. The entire process was easy and smooth, and they truly delivered. Our two-tiered cake was not only beautiful but also absolutely delicious! We chose lemon tart cake and carrot cake for our flavors, and both were a huge hit with our guests.

I had received my cupcake and when I had taken a bite it tasted a bitter, I had assumed maybe it was my hands even though they were washed .

I wanted to like it so bad but that taste had completely threw off this entire cupcake and my appetite.

If you're waiting in line or making the trip out, I'd highly recommend adding a cake or pastry to your order. We came on Saturday around 11:30am and there was a line outside that took about 30 minutes to get in. While we were waiting, we saw parking enforcement come around a few times so make sure that you pay the meter! The inside is soo cute! We ended up staying here for a bit and studying because it was super spacious and cozy. There is a lot of seating in the front and back and even outside too! A lot of people were there working as well. There are plenty of outlets available so that was nice. If you do plan on studying/working, just bring noise cancelling headphones cuz it does get loud. The biscoff matcha latte was pretty sweet and the matcha flavor was not that strong but it was definitely a dessert more than a drink. Their cakes are pretty great too, I don't like cake but their cakes are worth trying. I liked the banana dessert the best though, it was like a banana pudding. My bf did say it was too sweet and he has a big sweet tooth, but I preferred that over the cake!

We stopped by recently and got incredibly lucky--there was no line in sight, so we walked right up to order! The Cookies: Gooey, Crisp, & Perfectly Balanced My wife decided to try a trio of cookies, picking out Snickerdoodle, Peanut Butter Reese's, and classic Chocolate Chip. They completely nailed the texture. Every single cookie hit that golden sweet spot--warm and gooey in the middle with just the right amount of crisp edge. What really stood out was the balance of ingredients. Chocolate Chip: Perfectly measured so you get sweet chocolate in every bite without feeling overwhelmed by chips. Peanut Butter Reese's: An absolute dream ratio of rich peanut butter to chocolate peanut butter cups. Snickerdoodle: Perfectly spiced, striking just the right "snicker-to-doodle" balance! Of course, we couldn't leave without trying the ice cream. I ordered a combination of Cookie Monster and Campfire in a single scoop. The portion size was remarkably generous--it completely filled up the small cup and delivered a fantastic mix of flavors. My wife went with a scoop combining Espresso Oreo and Mint & Chip, which she thoroughly enjoyed. Overall, these were easily some of the best desserts we've had in a very long time. Whether you're a local or just exploring the downtown area, Milk & Cookies is well worth a visit.
