    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.

    Delicious cheese cake. I want to take the whole plate of them hahaha! Ube matcha is the best. They actually make matcha right when you order.

    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.

    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!

    Thank you for the small gift! The bread tastes really fresh. It sells out quickly, so I recommend going there early.

    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!

    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

    Delicious, lightly sweet dessert. The cheesecake is my favorite. Their drinks are really good too! I love the matcha einspanner and coco cloud.

    A must try in Irvine! Fresh and delicious! Chocolate is our favorite, and the Creamtella is also super yummy!

    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.

    I love cheesetella. Chesstella is such a lovely cheesecake shop! The cheesecake was rich, creamy, and full of flavor without being overly sweet.

    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.

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. It was really good. The coffee was a little strong. The service was great and prices are average. I really enjoyed hanging out in their shop with friends. They have several locations.

It's baked w/ imported Belgian chocolate, which makes it so decadent and paired perfectly w/ the pecans & walnut bits. It's heavenly.
