    Cheesetella is so yummy. It's light, fluffy, and just sweet enough. It's a very generous size, meant to be shared with family. We ordered the original, chocolate, and cream flavors. They came out very fast. Everyone loved what they ordered. The original is my favorite. I can see myself coming here every day. Just keep in mind that their business sign blends in with the wall color, so it was hard to find. Also, there don't seem to be many tables -- it's not really a sit-down bakery. Everyone was just doing takeout.

    I have placed my order online a few days ago and went to pick and it's very fast and smooth. When I got there, I also saw the ube cheese cakes on the rack and I could not help but grab one more as well. It's delightful!

    If you're going for the Japanese cheesecake: stellar. 12/10. I got the Ube and it was inhaled almost immediately. Matcha (I think with mango): the mango had nice chunks and flavor, but the matcha was light. I might give matcha one more go just to know it wasn't a bad day for whatsoever reason, but also not super inclined to with all the matcha options nearby.

    Sooooo yummy. Worth trying at least once. The bread is sooo fluffy and moist. One of the best sponge cakes I've ever tasted in my life. I've tried the original and this is hands down my favorite. I've tried the chocolate one and it was meh. I feel like if they added the chocolate chips throughout the entire bread, rather than just the top, it would taste better and feel less bland to eat. But they're both still so good to eat regardless. I wish I knew how to make these at home!

    Green Tea Creamtella Available ONLY on Saturdays & Sundays!

    3/12/2026 Chocotella with Mocha Loved this one! Spongy, moist, fluffy with plenty chocolate chips scattered throughout the castella. Light in cocoa flavor and light in sweetness too. The mocha whipped cream tastes like the typical mocha cream you find in Asian bakeries for their mocha cakes. Light in mocha coffee flavor. Not overly sweet either and it complements the Chocotella. Choc chips do distract from the soft sponginess of cake, as there are many choc chips scattered throughout the cake. Still, this was a great dessert option for gatherings or even birthdays! Creamtella Vanilla castella was also spongy, moist and fluffy, yet a tad bit dry at the end. However, overall still good. A bit of eggy flavor as most castella cakes go. The vanilla whipped cream was light and went well with the castella. Both castella cakes have dry parts, mostly the outer edges. As you move inwards, it is very soft and moist. Wanted to get the Matchatella, which is Matcha Castella cake with Matcha whipped cream. But it's only available on Saturdays and Sundays. Customer Service The person at the front was friendly and helpful. She was patient and answered any questions I had. Self-Order Kiosk There is a self-order kiosk available. Seats Two sets of tables for 2 were set up right outside the store. Parking Located in a large strip mall, so you will have little to no issues in finding free parking. Loved the location, as everything was clean with ample parking. Definitely want to return to try their Matcha Creamtella!

    i love how cheesetella not only has the fluffiest castella cakes, they also have a larger drink menu selection now! Lots of matcha and coffee options to choose from! i lly liked the dubai mocha. Make sure to go early because they run out of their castella cake flavors. i need to go back to try some of their other flavors it's so soft and fluffy

    An Instagram ad for this bakery popped up on my feed, and it looked so good that I decided to drive over and try it for myself. When I got there, I asked the woman in front of me--who was buying several bags of cakes--which one she recommended. She laughed and said, "Honestly, I just saw an ad and came here today." I told her the same thing happened to me, and we both had a good laugh about how effective that Instagram ad was. I ended up purchasing the original, and it was absolutely delicious. This will definitely be a regular stop for me whenever I'm craving this cheesecake/pound cake. I'm so glad that ad showed up on my Instagram page! Lol

    My boyfriend who lives in the area brought my sisters and I to give them a try while we are visiting from Texas. The cakes were phenomenal, so jiggly light and spongy. Perfect level of sweetness and compared to other castella cakes we have had, these were airy and light without any dryness. We got the Chocotella, Cheesetella and the cheesecake. For drinks we got the sparkling yuzu ade, mango matcha and cinnamon white mocha latte. Everything was absolutely delicious, especially pairing a bite with the cake and sipping our drinks. Service was so kind and sweet to us. David, you and your team are amazing! We'll definitely be coming back when we're in town next!

    In general I'm a huge fan of Japanese bakeries because everything is so fluffy. I decided to check out Cheesetella based on the reviews and am happy that I did. The store sells Castella cakes which are Japanese sponge cakes and Japanese cheesecakes. You can get the original Castella cake (completely plain, no cheese or filling) or go for the cream filled ones. Ordering is super easy. There is a tablet in the front where you order and pay. There was only one store clerk but I got my order in less than 30 seconds after ordering. I bought the original Castella without any filling. It was soft and fluffy without being dry. Really tasty and probably one of the best sponge cakes I've had in awhile. Price was reasonable at $12.50 for a decent sized slice. You need to keep this refrigerated as it can spoil after a few days. This is located in a strip mall so there is always plenty of parking. I will definitely be back to try their Cheesetella.

    Came all the way from corona in hopes to try out their famous original cheesecake that keeps popping up on my IG account. but unfortunately they're already sold out!! So I purchased two big ass pieces of their chocolate and original cake. the owner was super nice. Told me the next time call she couldn't believe that drove so far she did give me some urb cheesecake to try out it was delicious creamy spongy at the same time you just have to come out and try it for yourself. The location is small but clean! Didn't see any tables or chairs so everything is to go only.

    My 1st time trying castella at Cheesetella and it was fantastic! The service was quick and friendly and the food was delicious. We ordered a creamtella, chocotella & a classic castella. All were yummy. FLUFFY and light. We couldn't pick a favorite we loved them all! Next time we want to try the ube flavor.

    I love Cheesetella for its softness and moist cake. It can be a great snack for your daily munching. They have coffee on the menu now which makes it so convenient for a one-stop shop. I had: 1. Cheesetella 2. Ube cheesecake 3. Latte

    Original Cheesetella and Cheesecake
    Winny K.

    Quick and easy visit to try the original cheesetella and a cheesecake! Service was friendly and helpful, and ambiance is casual, as this is a shop meant for selecting and picking up your goodies rather than lingering for eating onsite. The original cheesetella was so fluffy and light - the kind of Castella that is airy and delicious, and definitely not too sweet. The cheesecake was creamy and a bit more rich. Both were good but I prefer the original cheesetella if you're just looking to try one. Looking forward to going back and trying other flavors!

The interior is modern with a comfortable lighting scene and wrap around floor to ceiling windows. They also have a large patio with more seating. I also noticed a fire place and a Television outside. Aside from their great coffee and Tea menu, they offer daily pastries, refreshments, small bites and coffee bean bags to go. I had the Horchata Latté with oat milk (available hot or cold). It was really good. It is made with 2 shots of their signature espresso with a house-made horchata syrup or base, steamed or iced milk, and a dusting of cinnamon. You could taste the quality of the coffee.

They've got a self-ordering kiosk, or you can chat with someone at the register, which is what I did since I wanted some opinions on teas and coffee beans. They've got a pretty good selection of swag including loose leaf teas, various coffee beans, brewing gear, clothing, and other items. And they've got an RTE case too. Plenty of space inside and outside to sit, and the outside seating area has umbrellas, shade, and even a giant Jenga-style game. I asked for some recommendations for tea and was pretty let down. They only had 3 available, and 2 were ones I could find pretty much anywhere else (Earl Grey and...English Breakfast, I think?). I asked for any unique ones and they had a lavender one, which I ended up trying. It was okay, nothing special. Very floral. I also asked for recommendations for beans that are not too acidic and had the Darkside suggested because it's their darkest roast. I'm excited to grind it up and try it!

It's located in a large corporate plaza but the vibes are nice with covered outdoor seating and the fancy water features. We got a classic Cappuccino and one of their popular drink called Strawberry Alarm Clock. Cappuccino | $5.50 - While the cappuccino doesn't blow you away liek some other third wave coffee shop, this was a solid cup. I did wish there was latte art though. They chose good beans for their espresso drinks. Strawberry Alarm Clock | $7.50 - This drink has two shots of espresso, house-made strawberry puree, and oat milk. Really like how it comes default with oat milk and that you don't have to pay extra for sub. This was better than I had originally imagined. The strawberry really comes through and it's not overly sweet, very balanced. The staff are friendly here and the interior is very aesthetic. There isn't a lot of seating inside but plenty outside. There are two locations for parking, be sure to park near the restaurant side otherwise you'll have to pay for parking in full. You can ask for validation when you order your drink, they cover up to 90 minutes. All in all, if you're looking for a specialty drink, this place is a great option. They have lots of popular ones for both matcha and espresso drinks. If you are very particular about your coffee or matcha, this might not be a perfect fit. However, if you're a fan of flavored drinks, you'll most likely like this place. The ambiance is really nice for catching up with a friend or to get some creative work done.

Service: The waiter was so nice and recommended many of their popular sellers, such as their strawberry and double matchas.

Ambiance: OMG it's so nice to enjoy free parking at the Newport Beach library, then go grab a drink/snack at Kit, and work outside/inside!! Makes you look forward to studying/working, so please try!! Hope you try Kit as their drinks are yummy and the location is so convenient for studying/working!!

Drinkable but not worth coming back for. Last time I came in alone and had a Flat White that was terrible and I dumped it out. I did not have time to ask for another but I'm sure they would have remade it. Wall Writers is located in an office complex but in a good way. There is plenty of free parking and in the afternoon and on Saturdays you can park right at the entrance. The restroom is located in a separate building across the courtyard and watching people search for it can be mildly entertaining LOL It is a nice place to work with plenty of natural light and a wonderful patio for enjoying nice weather. I just wish the drinks were a little better. But because of the convenient location I will probably try it again. Maybe Ill try something iced?
