    Macarons
    Dave Z.

    Guiltea Cravings: Date of Visit: 4.2.2026 Location: Clairemont Cuisine Type: Cafe Vibe: Busy and tons of things to do long tables Cost: $ Service: Typical Food/ Rating: -4/5- I like how this place is keto forward. I always look forward to seeing their new inventions. I think stores like this keeps food exciting. Overall Thoughts: Best Thing I ate: I only had macarons Something to Improve: I think the cookies are kind hard for some reason as soon as you bite into the cookie the interior gets pushed out. It is a butter cream filling and it is good texture (more dense and stays together). I kind of wish it is more a one bite experience instead of bite and lets push the cream back in.

    The cookies! Fruity pebbles, mango and oreo.

    As always, amazing service, fantastic coffee.I highly recommend the vietnamese iced.Coffee, smooth and delicious menus fantastic.So many cold choices not only drinks but also fantastic food highly recommend in coming here for years. The service, food and drinks are great. Love the macrons(did i spell it right, not the coconut ones) are so smooth and the cookie fantastic. I do wish the flavors were stronger. The strawberry is yummy!

    Original basque  Basque Burnt Cheesecake
    Yasmine A.

    I placed a pic up order via toast for the ube basque cheesecake and the original basque cheesecake. I tried calling ahead to see if they had it in stock and no one answered but my online order being confirmed with no extra fees was reassuring that they had the slices I wanted. Tried the original basque first and it was extremely delicious but the ube definitely took first place. Extremely delicious and want to grab for friends next time! Inside looked nice although I did a quick pick up order that was ready within my ten minute drive of heading over to pick up!

    I'm honestly a very hard critic when it comes to coffee while doing keto because it's so hard to find a low to no carb coffee that actually tastes good. That's why this spot is really cool it's specifically geared toward keto coffee, which I love! Even though the concept is amazing, the coffee itself wasn't my favorite, but that has more to do with how picky I am about keto coffee in general because it's so hard to perfect. The shop actually does a really amazing job with it and it's probably the closest to a great keto coffee I've found. The mocha was actually really good and next time I'll try their regular keto coffee to see how that compares. Don't get me wrong, I'll still come here when I need a pick me up because I don't have to worry about hidden carbs or sugars, which is a huge relief. My best friend actually loved it, so I'm sure a lot of people will enjoy it. The desserts are a different story though they are def a hit. I want to say I've tried most of the keto desserts here and I'm obsessed with them. The prices can add up pretty quickly, but their reward system is great if you come here often. There's also plenty of parking and the inside has enough space if you want to hang out for a bit. If you're doing keto and constantly stressing about hidden carbs like I do, this spot is a lifesaver.

    Ube cookie
    Sarah K.

    Been going to GuilTea Cravings for YEARS now and it always hits the spot! They have these delicious house made ube cookies that are soooo soft and the perfect amount of sweetness. They're large and size, made fresh, and very affordable too! They have a large variety of drinks and a food menu with plenty of savory items. The fries here are nice, crispy, and hot and come with various types of seasonings like house blend and Cajun! I also absolutely love the service here. Everyone that works here is so kind, friendly, and easy to talk to. They really take the time to make you feel home. As for the decor I love that they have multiple booths (only thing I wished they had was pillows LOL). But the tables here are spacious. And the decor has a lots of greenery which really brightens up the place. Also one of the workers did some cute handmade decor for valentines! Overall me & my family love this spot.

    Sea Salt Cream  Jasmine Tea with matcha cream and boba
    Vivi V.

    I can't believe this shop has been here for so long and I haven't tried them and it seems they've updated their decor and menu to follow the trends. It was on my radar because of DoorDash there is a buy one get one free promotion. Sea salt cream jasmine tea with matcha foam and boba - the jasmine tea flavor is floral and pleasant, and I liked the salted matcha cream flavor that added a hint of matcha flavor to the drink. I didn't like the boba as it was tasteless and had no flavor so would skip next time. Salted coffee with Ube cream - delicious Vietnamese coffee style with a hint of Ube flavor. This one was so good! Parking is very easy in free large parking lot. My order was made quickly and ready to go and packaged well.

    The eye candy was amazing - even keto cheesecake options!
    Tracy L.

    QUICK TAKE// Chill boba spot with a great variety of options at very fair prices. SUPER Keto friendly and wow their cheesecakes were . FOOD + SERVICE// In searching for a keto friendly coffee option, this place came up and I was floored with how many keto options they had! It is so rare that I see a separate keto menu - down to their cheesecakes! I got the KETO VIETNAMESE COFFEE. It was surprisingly not sweet at all - so I did have to ask for more allulose. They were really nice about adjusting to my preferences (including offering to completely redo my drink if it got too sweet). Boyfriend got the PROTEIN THAI TEA FRAPPE - this was super good. Tasted just like a regular Thai slushy that was more creamy. I asked why they had the keto menu, and I learned that the owner was keto for about 12 years and the lady working there (I wish I got her name!) had also been keto - they therefore were very knowledgeable about the diet. I know next time I want a chance to try their Keto Chaffle! I sampled some of the CHEESECAKES they had at the counter - but the highlight was their BASQUE UBE CHEESECAKE. Absolutely delicious and the consistency was ‍. VIBES// Laid back boba shop that had a fair amount of mid sized tables that could probably fit about 6 people. They had some board games and it really is a spot for people to come and hangout.

    Strawberry tea (wouldn't get)
    Trevor T.

    Poor guy was working alone and was busy on a Saturday around 2:30. Ordered a Spam Musubi and a strawberry tea and took 20 mins...the spam musubi was already made. People who ordered after me were getting their drinks before mine. I ordered at the kiosk to help the guy out so he didn't need to take my order. They had a deal on the spam musubi but it wasn't registering in the kiosk. At a certain point another employee started working and asked her why the spam musubi deal wasn't working and where my order was. She just gave me a spam musubi. English was a second language and she could probably tell I was upset so good on her. This would have been a 1 star review because the musubi wasn't great and neither was the drink. I might have ordered wrong, but I'm not going to come here again to find out. Just drive the other way and go to one of the tea houses on Convoy.

    Avocado bagel
    Skyla S.

    Super cute and fun vibes! The barista was so kind and LGBTQ+ friendly. Also you can get an avocado bagel for 5 bucks which is a friggin steal

    Keto Thai tea
    vincent j.

    The place was small and cute, we were able to hang out and play some games. Service was good. We got a few drinks and some shrimp toast all in a timely manner! To be frank it just wasn't good. I feel bad saying so but I've had a lot of tea around and it just wasn't that good. The toast was okay. And all the drinks weren't bad , but far from good. In my opinion.

    Partial view of the suite front
    Emmett T.

    Guiltea Cravings is one of the older boba tea shops in the SD area having been around for nearly 10 years. The business is located in the Madison Place of Clairemont just west of I-805. There is always plenty of open parking spaces in the plaza lot. About five tables with bench style seating were available inside. Shelves with books and games provided entertainment if you wanted to hang around and pass time. Macarons, bubble tea, and coffee were the featured items on the business sign hanging above the suite on the marquee. Appetizers, banh mi sandwiches, bao buns, and garlic noodles were the savory offerings to complement the sweet drinks and desserts. It was eerily quiet during my mid-afternoon visit with just one person (possible employee?) seated at a table. Maybe the customer traffic picks up in the evening. There were six types of fruit teas listed. I chose the True Passion Tea that was made up of passion fruit, green tea, and popping boba. Since a topping was already included, I didn't request another one. To my surprise, the drink was sweeter than I anticipated which was unusual. The popping boba provided some texture, but I would have preferred ordinary brown sugar pearls instead. The price and quality of the tea were average which led to my three star rating for Guiltea Cravings.

    macaron
    Kim C.

    We have been coming here for years. The menu continually changes. Thankfully the macrons have remained. They have a good amount of flavors and come out with seasonal flavors. I like the birthday cake, ube and cookies and creme. Regular macron cost $2.25 per piece if you buy 5, 10, 15, or 20 there is extra discount. They also come out with adorable character macarons that cost a bit more. The shell has a nice outside crisp and chewy texture. The flavored ganache has a good amount. other desserts that I like: cookies (chocolate chip, cookie n cream) cheesecake Keto Items I have liked: Keto Chaffle- cheese, egg, almond flour $5 Keto Mocha Coffee **One of our top favorite places to get a spam musubi in San Diego!!** We are originally from Hawaii and the largest consumers of Spam (next to Guam). My kids could eat a spam musubi morn, noon and night. 1 for $4 2 for $5 C'mon get 2! It's a Double Spam Musubi It has a splash of sauce, decent amount of rice, with a spam on top and the bottom wrapped with seaweed and sprinkled with furikake. Favorite Drinks: - Matcha Frappe. I ask to blend it with Oreo and add boba - Strawberry Matcha My kids like the board games that they have. They have 5 booths. A bench outside and several chairs facing the front. I have come in to do work. Service is usually good. They have been great explaining things to me when I want to try something new. Parking: private Free parking Military Discount: 10% This will remain our family go to place. Good service, yummy desserts, and it has a nice environment to hang out.

    Matcha lychee & red velvet ($7 each)
    Katie W.

    Best Basque cheesecake in San Diego! I've had Basque cheesecake in restaurants that charge a lot more for mediocre cheesecake. This is such a hidden gem if you like Basque cheesecake. There's no crust, so you just get the best part of the cheesecake. It also happens to be gluten free. Their cheesecake isn't overly sweet, although it is rich like how I want my cheesecake to be. Their generous slices usually take me a few days to get through. I also love their Asian flavors like ube, matcha, etc. They usually do a seasonal flavor too like pumpkin, red velvet, etc. They used to have a durian one that was so good if you're a durian lover. Their classic flavor is super solid too if you like a more traditional cheesecake flavor. I'm realizing that I've not had a bad flavor from here! I'm not a big drinks person, so I can't say much about that. I regularly come here for their desserts. I got to chat with Destinee, one of the bakers, and she said they make their desserts in-house bright and early in the morning. Give their cookies a try too! They have unique flavors, and they're moist and not too sweet. Parking is super easy, and they have a great rewards program too!

    Ask the Community - Guiltea Cravings

    Can you purchase the full cheesecakes not just the pre-sliced?

    You can order the whole cheesecake here. https://order.toasttab.com/online/guiltea-cravings-5497-clairemont-mesa-blvd

    What's the selection of board games here? Do we have to pay to use the board games?

    We currently don't have any board games. We put them all away during Covid.

    How much are boxes of macarons? Are there different count options?

    We have one for 12 macs for $22. And one for 20 macs for $36.

    Can the keto drinks be blended?

    Yes, but they will not be as tasty since they are not sweet. The best one is probably Vietnamese coffee keto and asks to blend it.

    Do you still offer the classic caramel coffee?

    We have caramel cream coffee. That is caramel coffee with our in-house sea salt cream but we can make it without the cream.

    Is it possible for management to offer vegan milk options one day? That would be awesome! I've loved GuilTea for years but now that I am newly vegan I can't have your milk teas anymore. :(

    H Angelica, just asks us to make you Thai tea or jasmine green tea with plant-based milk. We have nondairy milk as vegan options.

    Do they sell gift cards?

    Yes!

    Are there any keto friendly desserts?

    Sorry for a late response. We are working on adding more keto drinks, desserts, and food. Soon.

    Are vegan friendly substitutes for the milk teas available (unsweetened coconut or almond milk)?

    We do offer soy milk and almond milk as substitute.

    Is the music loud here? What kind of music do they play? :)

    I don't think it's loud and I go there a lot. I've gone there to study or hang out and we can carry a conversation no problem. Music is hip hop.

    Which of your macaron flavors are grain free?

    Hi, right now we have the oreo and French toast macarons are not gluten free. However we do bake them all in the same area and display them in the same case. Thanks.

    Can you make milk teas unsweetened with heavy cream instead of non-dairy creamer?

    I guess we can just never make it like that before.

He suggested getting 100% but said that I could try 75% and then see if I liked it. It was SO SAFFRONY and full of spice, with a bitter aftertaste, I really wish I liked it. It was so unique because the drink doesn't rely on sugar to give it taste, unlike so many drink places in SD. The flavor wasn't up my alley, so he replaced my drink with an iced Signature Karak Chai (which he'd given me a sample before). :) And before he left his shift, he even asked me if I wanted any adjustments to my chai! I appreciated that especially as a non-coffee drinker. 11/10 service. I also ordered the Ras Malai Milk Cake. Keep in mind I really don't like tres leches so I had really low expectations for the soaked cake lol. It was actually really good! The cream wasn't super sweet, and it was topped with sliced nuts.
