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.

The only challenge here is finding parking…read more There is a paid parking lot south on Union street and that is only a 5-minute walk including the wait at the stop light. This place sells itself. If you want to have an amazing dessert experience this is the place! There is another location north of this location about a 7-minute drive but there are not as many tables. The same inventory but the parking is even more limited. The ordering workflow can be confusing at this location but here's how it works. The line on the left lets you view the dessert display that line will get you to the cashier but patrons think the line starts at the cashier. It does not, it can be confusing. I recommend having one person in your party stand in line near the register and have another party stand in line near the dessert display case on the left side. Swap places with your party if they want a better visual of the desserts. The coffee, tea and lemonade are good here, just be patient with your order it's a process here but the wait is worth it. Enjoy!

This was not our first time visiting Extraordinary Desserts, which makes this experience even more disappointing. Sadly, every time we come back, the service seems to get worse. The waiter's attitude and level of attention were unacceptable, and the overall customer service was simply not there. For a place that is supposed to be about enjoying beautiful desserts and having a nice experience, the quality of the service completely ruined our visit. Service, attention, and hospitality were all a zero.

It was a warm day but we got there at 5:15pm and the sun was starting to go behind the downtown buildings. Negative: service. It seems if you are a regular, like the two tables near us, they chat it up and talk about how things are. If you aren't a regular, they just quickly come by and say "anything else?" the two times they came by. Im a huge water drinker so the carafe they brought only refilled our cups once. Never got another one until we were done and they came by asking about dessert. They weren't busy by any stretch on a Tuesday evening but apparently the frequent customers either tip really well or they prefer familiar faces. I assume the latter. So, I mean the food itself was great but service was not good. I mean we went when it was slow too and the host was talking it up with a frequent customer also asking about the changes recently to parking in their area nearby.... So, it puts this review as a 3/5.

They have a great variety to choose from, whether you're into milk chocolate, dark chocolate, or even non dairy options. I also love that they offer chocolate drinks and coffee, so it's easy to turn a quick stop into a little treat moment. I tried the peanut butter dates and they were so good. Smooth, rich, and just the right size when you want something sweet without going overboard. I also had a dark chocolate truffle and that one was just as good. You can really taste the quality. Customer service was a highlight. The guy helping me was super personable, gave great suggestions for drinks, and was genuinely kind, which always makes the experience better. Honestly, I'm just happy I found a chocolate spot within walking distance. Definitely worth stopping by if you're craving something sweet but still want it to feel a little elevated.

I sampled chocolate from Peru, Madagascar, and Kenya, and they all had unique fruity characteristics. Because they're vegan, so they use oat milk for their chocolate instead of dairy. My wife and I also wanted some drinks while we were here. I had a hot chocolate. My wife had hers with espresso shots. Good espresso in pure chocolate will never not be good. They are family owned and they only add chocolate, sugar, and oat milk to make their bars. Overall, this was a fun place to check out at Little Italy, and they also had a stall at the Farmer's Market.

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!
