Flour Atelier - Miso Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Potato Chip Sesame Seed Cookie My new favorite with Black Sesame Latte - Bakeries Near Me - San Diego, California

I love this bakery, and I love that it's women-owned and has a lot of Filipino influence in its flavors!! I picked up some pastries for my parents for their anniversary and they loved it! The standout was the calamansi tart, which was so perfectly sweet and tart from the citrus flavors of the calamansi. I want to try their matcha so I have to come back soon! I love the aesthetic of the place too, super cute and pastel and floral. Ample amounts of parking outside too since it's in the plaza with Mitsuwa. read more

Flour Atelier - Bakeries Near Me - San Diego, California

It is raaare to find bakeries whose desserts are as tasty as their aesthetic, but the treats AND drinks here truly live up to the vibe. Flour Atelier is a small bakery right next to the hovering Mitsuwa. They carry two refrigerated sections' worth of original treats and pastries, many with Asian flavors such as their ube leche flan and calamansi cheesecake. I'm a gluten free girly nowadays, but when I could eat their desserts I did love their cheesecake: a balance of cream-to-crust is important to me. And those flavors? Standout. Hard to find many other places. They also have tea and coffee, and my husband and I LOVE their hojicha latte, which boasts a nice earthy-to-sweet ratio. If you want a grounded flavor without getting another coffee, try the hojicha latte! The store itself is quite small, selling sweet treats, drinks, and even flowers through a collaboration with a florist. They have about 4 tables outside -- recommended for small parties, unless you come when it's empty with a group. BIG TIP: Bring your mother or mother-in-law here to impress -- that is, if she likes cute, sweet treats and a tea party vibe! My mom always loves coming here, and bringing the whole family, too Keep up the great work Flour Atelier! read more

Flour Atelier is a very beautiful little bakery. Their pastries are all so tempting! I love how they have such unique flavor combos that you can't find anywhere else. This includes the yummy asian flavors like matcha, miso, black sesame, etc. Plus they are decorated beautifully with edible flowers. This is a perfect place to fulfill your sweet treat cravings with perfectly sized individual portions. I recently tried their earl grey lavender cupcake with blueberry filling. I loved the flavor combination! The cupcake itself was very hearty so tasted like a homemade pastry rather than a mass produced one. I was very tempted to try their cookies and other pastries, so I'll definitely pick one up next time I'm in the area. I also tried their hojicha and it was sweetened perfectly and had a nice toasty flavor. Be sure to check their hours, they aren't open every day! read more

Saturday, 3-28-2026: My son suggested this little bakery, which is another favorite. It's very small but is big on the charm. It's so quaint, feminine, and pristine. There is no indoor seating but there are a few tables out front. It's an interesting concept. Flour meets flowers. The pastries are beautifully done & such a feast not only for your eyes but your palate as well. My dear son treated me to a Tiramisu pastry plus an iced Chagaccino. I saved the rest of the pastry for later since I was still full from my cream puffs. I did try a piece and it was perfection! I chugged down my delicious iced drink as we sat outside. My son told me their most popular pastry is a Calamansi cake, which sells out quickly. Would love to try one of those. read more

Omg.. yum!! I'm so glad I finally got to try them out. Their unique flavors really caught my eye. Everything looked so pretty and I just wanted to try it all but I ended up with the Banana Nut Matcha cupcake, the Tiramisu cupcake & the Peach Jasmine Cheesecake. Flavors are on point & love that it's not super sweet. The cupcakes are moist & the cheesecake is not overly dense. Cake orders must be placed weeks in advance. I had my sister taste it & she was also impressed. Of course, she's already talking about going back. read more

Dear diary Went for a quick sweet run and found this place. It is a cutesy order and go cafe with several chairs posted outside. The matcha latte was well made and not watery. The strawberry shortcake was not too sweet and the cake was spongey and soft. You have to check it out if you're close by! read more

I frequent Mitsuwa Marketplace pretty often and always noticed this café whenever I stopped by. I even had it bookmarked for a while, so I finally decided to check it out in person. It's located in between Ross Dress for Less and Mitsuwa Marketplace in the Hawthorne Crossings plaza in Convoy on Kearny Mesa Rd. There's a huge free parking lot with ample stalls but could be very busy during lunch and maybe dinner hours. I've noticed that lunchtimes are the busiest. I got their Black Sesame Hojicha Latte and Black Sesame Kukki. The drink lacked flavor in my opinion. I didn't get much of a black sesame or hojicha -- it was mostly just milk, which was pretty disappointing. The Black Sesame Kukki, on the other hand, was VERY good. It had a rich, nutty flavor that really brought out the black sesame in a way the drink didn't. If I come back, I'd probably stick to their bakery items. The cookie stood out, but the drink didn't quite hit the mark for me. read more

Wow was this place super disappointing! I've tried flour atelier a couple times before and all the items I've gotten were so good. Come to find out there was a change in management, so I can see why this place has declined so badly. The desserts are so pretty but don't let it fool you. I ended up trying the strawberry matcha cheesecake tart, ube cheesecake brownie, ube butter mochi, cookies and cream tres leches and the signature puff pastry. The crust on the strawberry cheesecake tart tasted so doughy and the matcha wasn't well incorporated. The ube cheesecake brownie was overly dense and the flavor was terrible. I wouldn't even call it a brownie or a cheesecake, more like a block of cream cheese. The ube butter mochi was burnt on the bottom and super hard. I mean how can you mess up butter mochi? I was supposed to get a cookies and cream tres leches but the worker accidentally gave me a black sesame tres leches. Thankfully for him, I do like black sesame, but it was grainy and too sweet and lacking a lot of the black sesame flavor. Lastly, I got their signature puff pastry which was the only item that didn't offend me. It was fine, kind of flat, not the best. Definitely not coming back. read more

I'm a little sweet treat person. There's nothing I love more than a matcha latte or a little pastry. Flour Atelier is located in the same parking lot as Mitsuwa Marketplace. You know parking can be a doozy, but people are constantly in and out. They have a drink menu with great options including coffees as well as matcha and hojicha. I got a matcha latte with soy milk and it was great. They don't have almond milk as an alternative, but they do offer soy or oat. I was also able to ask for an adjusted sweetness as I prefer a more matcha forward drink. They had a good selection of pastries even though they were close to closing. I got a matcha yuzu cupcake. It was fluffy with a nice cream frosting. Not too heavy or sweet, definitely more Asian style. The shop was cute and they had some flowers and little decor items to purchase too. A little pricey all around but I liked everything I enjoyed! read more

Torn about this place. I came when they first opened their doors a couple years ago and it was fabulous. But apparently they've changed ownership - and with that, a lot of their iconic flavors went away. Ordered their MATCHA YUZU, STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE, & TIRAMISUI mini cakes + an UBE TRES LECHES cup. The cakes were not too sweet (which is how I like it) but the flavors were so lacking that they just tasted like nothing. The ube très lèches was the most flavorful thing. Will probably skip on this place in the future unfortunately. read more

There's no seating inside, but there are a few tables available outside. The pastries are aesthetically pleasing and there is also a drink menu available. I decided to go with the earl grey lavender cupcake, even though I'm not big on cupcakes. It was good overall- moist and not too sweet, but don't feel like it's something that's a must. read more

Flour Atelier - Earl Grey Lavender Cupcake - Bakeries Near Me - San Diego, California

Finally checked off a bakery I eyeball every time I come grocery shopping. Located in the same strip mall center as book off and mitsuwa, parking can be a drag but it is worth to stop in for this place! I LOVE the aesthetics of the shop and the fact you can also grab any additional quick gifts like flowers or candles makes for an easy assembly of gifts for any occasion! We ordered a gingerbread and choco peppermint mini cupcake, strawberry matcha and raspberry cheese cake tarts an a macaron, the macaron was delicately delicious! The strawberry matcha cheesecake was so well balanced. And a matcha yuzu-ade beverage which was the perfect balance of matcha flavor and the sweet and sour blend of the yuzu ade! I still have a couple desserts to try so I will update once I made my way through them, but overall everything is well balanced and not too sweet! read more

I came to Flour Atelier in search of a mini cake for a friend's birthday and they had exactly what I was looking for! The bakery is dainty, and aesthetic, plus, I've heard many good things from social media. Everything was gorgeous from the cakesickles to their mini cakes. Mini cakes were around $9 and is typically aimed for a single person. They were stocked with desserts on the Saturday I went. They have an impressive beverage menu that features matcha and I had to try one for myself. Their original matcha latte tasted great! It was made carefully and hand-whisked by the worker which was nice. Although I didn't get to try the cake, the one I purchased was a chocolate churro cake and my friend could vouch for it! Overall, I'll continue to come by if I was in need of a smaller cake. Their designs are gorgeous! They focus on the florals and do put that on their cakes as well as sell bouquets on the side. Everything seemed reasonably priced for the quality of the items, with unique flavors too which makes Flour Atelier stand out for me. I got my questions answered, my yummy drink to go, and the cake remained secure throughout my 2-hour car ride. read more

Can't wait to come back and try more! read more

Flour Atelier - Puff pastry and strawberry matcha (soy milk) - Bakeries Near Me - San Diego, California

Got 2 items to try today: the strawberry cheesecake matcha bar and the ube puff pastry. Tried the strawberry cheesecake matcha bar and it was just OK. The matcha bar part is a bit dry. The flavor of the matcha is there, I just didnt care for it. The strawberry cheesecake part is more airy than dense, but was good overall. The ube puff pastry was decorated nicely with fresh fruit and a flour. The puff pastry was baked nicely and the ube mousse is a nice touch. It is not overly sweet and was pretty good. It complimented my afternoon tea nicely. Parking is always a challenge in this area, especially on a busy weekend. There was a line when I got in today but the line mive rather quickly. The pastries are nicely made and decorated. The taste, on the other hand, was mid. I will definitely come back to try other items and a drink next time! read more

Been a frequent customer the past few months because I'm addicted to their matcha. They use Paru's ceremonial matcha powder and the difference is clear. Super smooth and delicious. I have also tried many of their pastries and cakes. I really love the mochi donuts and the cupcakes. Grabbed a small Valentines cake during this visit. Staff is always friendly and accommodating! read more

Flour Atelier - Chocolate raspberry cake and iced matcha with strawberry - Bakeries Near Me - San Diego, California

Really adorable Asian style bakery with individual baked goods for sale at standard prices - somewhere between $3-$7 a pastry. Their mini cakes are $20 and seem reasonably priced with adorable designs. Although the inside flavors were more typical vanilla and confetti instead of more Asian cake flavors. They also serve matcha drinks from PARU. We got a couple of egg tarts, matcha white chocolate cookies, and early gray cookies. The egg tarts are smaller and similar but not your standard Cantonese egg tarts, they're sweeter and glazed. We weren't big fans of the earl gray cookie but thought the matcha white chocolate was solid. read more

Visited this cute bakery during their soft open. Happened to be walking by in the strip mall at the time and Princess Zelda, our American Akita, decided she wanted to walk in and see what was going on. I don't eat a lot of sweets but I love bakeries and I love to buy dessert for the sugar hounds in my life. We strolled in and the display was excellent. Everything looked spectacular! All of the staff were fun and friendly and fell in love with Princess Zelda on the spot. Several people came out of the kitchen/prep area to meet her and they had freshly made doggy treats on hand which Zelda appreciated. I bought several things including chocolate chip cookies which I did eat and from family and friends who ate the other delectables everything was delicious. I've been in a few times since then and their business is growing and it's well deserved. Go take a gander at Flour Atelier, San Diego, and keep this bakery thriving! read more

Such moist cupcakes! A friend brought these to a family party, and we all were just amazed at how good they were. Every single cupcake was super moist, even having been refrigerated (which, I feel, tends to dry them out). I have since gone back a few times, and can say that everything ube that I've had, has been delicious. Favorite is the Ube bell (that ube cream is gooooood), then this ube cupcake with a cream cheese filling and the ube flan cupcake are tied. The Lahaina Love CC, i was expecting a lot more from--dont get me wrong, it was good, I just think the ube items were better. Earl grey CC was also very moist, with a hint of lavender. I gave it a chance, and I'm still not into edible lavender. Just reminds me too much of soap. Today I tried the Calamansi cheesecake for the first time. It was good, but because of how light and fluffy the "cheesecake" part was, it reminded me more of a tart than a cheesecake, it just resembled more of a really stiff cream, vs a denser cheesecake. But, the pastry crust was perfectly flaky, and the overall taste was tart and lightly sweet. The desserts here in general, are never too sweet or rich. I'm one of those people who usually scrape off all the frosting on cakes/cupcakes. But never here! Just keep in mind that this bakery often closes at 3pm, so don't be late! read more

I have been wanting to visit for a while and I am so glad I finally did! It's a super cute aesthetic bakery right next to Mitsuwa market. I came here around 1:30pm on a Saturday and there was a sign saying that they were closing early due to being short-staffed at 3pm. So I would just keep that in mind! Strawberry matcha latte - 9/10, your ordinary cafe Matcha, it was good ans the strawberry added a nice sweetness! Early grey cheesecake tart - 9.5/10, I love this because it was not too sweet (perfect asian dessert) and it was delicious. I will say that if you don't like Earl Grey to not get this, it is super strong (which I love!) Service was great as well and they provide bags for your goodies. Will definitely come back to try more desserts! read more

Flour Atelier is a boutique bakery with some amazing sweets that are Filipino and Japanese inspired! This spot is located right next to Mitsuwa Marketplace in a plaza with a good amount of parking spots. Keep in mind that there is no seating inside, so plan accordingly. For their selection, they have great options ranging from cupcakes, macaroons, drinks, and more! In addition, they also offer some high quality floral arrangements and custom cakes for all types of special moments and celebrations. Wifey and I stopped by right before they were closing for the day and managed to snag a Turon Cupcake and a Pandan Guava Pineapple Macaroon. These two items we tried were delicious and a perfect sweet treat after our lunch! Overall, this spot is definitely a gem in the Kearney Mesa area. All of the staff here are very friendly and welcoming. Come stop by to show some support and satisfy all your sweet tooth cravings! read more

I grabbed a matcha with black sesame cold foam from here. If I recall correctly, they use Paru Matcha (I need fact check on it). The matcha is very smooth and it isn't too milky. I enjoyed the black sesame cold foam with my drink. In addition to their matcha, they have other coffee-based drinks as well. The matcha price is pretty standard for most shops. They also had some desserts, but I didn't end up getting any. Parking-wise, there is a lot of parking in the plaza. read more

Got this beautiful yummy spread from @flouratelier.sd Flour Atelier. This is my second time having them and I was not disappointed. Each pastry had strong floral notes but kept the taste light. The earl grey and ube puff pastry were my favorite. Such strong flavors but not overwhelming at all. The puff pastry was flaky and soo good. The tiramisu and strawberry shortcake cupcakes were moist with a little cream filling surprise on the inside. Though the lavender cheese cake bites were not my favorite, I think anyone who likes lavender will adore this! The taste of lavender really punches you in the face. I wish they would be open at more convenient times, but if you're ever free between 10am-3pm you should try it. I must admit that it's pricey at around $6 and more a piece but everyone deserves to treat themselves from time to time read more

I remember when Flour Atelier opened; it seemed like I was getting IG reels about the place every other day. I was intrigued by the beautiful pastries but resolved to wait a bit for the hype to die down. A bit quickly expanded to a whole year, as work got busy, so it felt like fate when I impulsively dropped by Mitsuwa and saw Flour Atelier's gorgeous storefront right next to it. The shop is airy and clean, though quite cramped. It's definitely not a sit-down and study spot. I saw that they served matcha from Paru, in La Jolla. Though I have never been to the actual tea shop myself, I did get to sample their excellent matcha when An's Electronics collaborated with them, so I knew that was what I wanted to get. Though I deliberated over the gorgeous pastries, I ended up just getting the black sesame matcha latte with oat milk. I saw my matcha being hand-whisked and it came out pretty quickly. Though pricy (I think it was literally $8), it was definitely a delicious and well-made drink. I adore black sesame anything, but black sesame beverages have historically been a bit of a mixed bag. Sometimes the taste isn't very strong, sometimes the sesame is too oily, but my black sesame matcha had a smooth, strong taste with no grit. The black sesame tasted just like melted black sesame ice cream. My one critique was that the matcha ended up being overpowered by the black sesame cream. I think that next time, I might try the black sesame hojicha. The stronger, roasted tea might hold up better to the flavor. Regardless, I enjoyed my matcha and it held up well the next day. I definitely plan to come back for more drinks and pastries in the future! read more

I have only tried the cakes but My favorite is the earl gray cake. Extremely fragrant and light "not too sweet"

I loooove Flour Atelier! I've been here a handful of times and I get so excited every time I come out with a delicious dessert or matcha. I actually had flour atelier's mini cupcakes and mini cheesecake tarts at my wedding back in May - that's how much I love them! For all special occasions, I think of bringing desserts. My personal favorites are the yuzu cupcake and earl grey cupcake as well as their calamansi and lavender cheesecake tarts! Our wedding guests enjoyed them as well. We still hear about how much they enjoyed them to this day! Flour Atelier's flavors are well balanced and well thought out. Their owners are the sweetest. They are so creative in their design. All of their workers are so patient and helpful. They also have fun and cute little knick knacks and the most beautiful seasonal flowers. Can't wait to go back again! read more

The butter mochi hit the spot!!! A spontaneous decision that lead to some great surprises that made my weekend! I first saw this place on Instagram and have been meaning to check it out. After a grocery run to Mitsuwa, I decided to stop by for my weekend matcha latte. When you step into the store, it immediately smells like butter and sugar, and I was a little hesitant because I don't like things overpoweringly sweet. While the cakes look divine, I'm not a big cake person. So I was pleasantly surprised when I saw they had butter mochi!!! I've had amazing butter mochi once before from my Hawaiian friend who bakes, and so I decided to try the ube butter mochi. The mochi was as good as the one my friend made, and it totally hit the spot!! I almost ate the whole thing in one sitting, and had to stop myself to save some for the next day! I also noticed they had a sign that says they serve matcha from PARU!! PERFECT because I've been missing the Paru matcha but don't want to buy a whole tin of matcha!! I'm so glad I decided to stop by that day unplanned!!! The matcha latte was a little too sweet for me, and I like to really taste the grassy matcha so next time I'll ask them for no added sugar. The interesting thing is that after I started eating the butter mochi, the matcha latte no longer tasted too sweet. Which makes sense because the mochi is so sweet, that the matcha no longer tastes as sweet anymore. So the mochi and matcha balance each other out, but I'd rather have as little added sugar in my matcha latte as possible. This plaza is going to be perfect to grab groceries and matcha on the weekends!! read more

Flour Atelier feels like a coffee and pastry shop that those in Bridgerton would visit. It is adorable, it is elegant, and everything in between. I'm thrilled that I finally got to experience their drinks and treats after seeing this establishment all over Instagram. My sisters and I decided to order a puff pastry cake for my parents' 43 year wedding anniversary from here, and it came out perfect. Not only was it beautiful, but it also tasted great. It was flaky and light, and the toppings really added to the flavor. When picking up the cake, my sister and I also decided to grab more sweets. We ordered iced matcha lattes, and I very much want to come back to try their iced strawberry matcha latte! As for pastries, we got the turon cupcake, carrot cake, milo chocolate bell and u-bae marble bell. Everything was delicious, but the u-bae marble bell definitely hit different. I have to come back to try the ube creme brûlée and ube leche flan. Anything ube is a YES for me. They also have a flower bar! You can make a little bouquet, and sometimes they have pre-made bouquets already. Flour Atelker js Instagram-worthy, and worth it overall because everything looks and tastes delicious. read more
