Cute bakery with a wide variety of drinks and treats…read more Located in the heart of Mira mesa in a strip mall this bakery has a good variety of Asian themed baked goods and treats. Of note here is the Portuguese egg tarts ($1). The cream bun is tasty. They have mochi donuts and just a bounty to things to try. A typical trip here is 2 egg tarts and a Thai tea. Give it a shot!

Have you ever had cake that was perfect? No I didn't get one here either but I bought something…read moreclose to it. We all have gotten a variety of cakes from groceries (lots of sweet icing), bakeries and even at restaurants. Lady M is a special cake, with layers of thin crepes layered on top of each other to make a very rich flavor but light and delicious cake without the burst of sugar sweet flavor. Price is fairly up there for a slice or a 9" round cake. There are several flavors to choose from. I have tried the green matcha and tiramisu. I was so busy eating the cake that I forgot to take pics. No problem, I'm sure others have posted them

The best cheesecakes ever! The texture is so creamy and the sweetness is just perfect. Not too…read moresweet, just right. I absolutely love and dream about their black sesame cheesecake. I also tried the ube, cookies & cream, matcha, and original flavors, so it's safe to say you really can't go wrong with any of them. The lady working there is so sweet and friendly, which made the experience even better. Definitely try it for yourself.

Such a great vibe & great customer service...... We had our cheesecake after dinner. It was AMAZING!! We shared the OG slice and the ube slice. Such great quality. Apparently they use AA-grade Tahitian vanilla beans, organic sugar, organic cream, and premium butter from France to ensure the highest quality and flavor. GREAT quality and local ingredients. You can most definitely taste the difference. #DiningWithTheAndersons #TryingNewPlaces #BucketList #Cheesecake #Goodies

Oh damn! We actually stumbled upon this little gem by accident. It became our most delicious…read moreaccident ever! We've never seen ube banana pudding before so that was our first item selected. We also ordered crinkle cookies, brownies, and crookies. We also bought two ube energy drinks just for fun. I'm so glad we decided to go in. I ended up eating the BEST ube crookie in the entire world! While they may look appealing, most crookies end up over-baked, way too dry, and super crumbly. This ube crookie was f*ckin fantastic!!!

I finally made it into their storefront and OMG they have even more amazing ube offerings!! It is…read moresuch a cute little shop and the employee was incredibly nice. My guy and I got lots of yummy ube themed desserts to try and really liked everything we got, except for the ube cheesecake that my guy wasn't impressed by (I didn't try). They have an ube frappuccino on the menu that I didn't get to try, but I promise I'm going to come back to try!

Valerio's is worth a visit, especially if you're craving Filipino baked goods. I stopped by later…read morein the day and picked up a bag of their ube pandesal, which was delicious after a quick re-toast at home. The only downside was that many of the fresh-baked items had already sold out ... I even noticed a few customers coming in disappointed that they had missed them. The woman working the counter was friendly and helpful, and it was nice hearing her switch effortlessly between English and Tagalog. Overall, a great experience, but next time I'll have to arrive much earlier to catch more of their fresh offerings!

Me and my wife have been here a handful of times just because it's in the UTC mall. Not big on…read moregoing to malls, dealing with traffic and pay parking. This could be one of the few reasons we'll make the drive. But I do like the new location in the mall better now. It used to be in the center where it would be a walk, now it is located on the south side next to the parking lot. The new spot is a bit smaller with a few tables on the outside for sit down to eat. The inside a simple but love how everything is open so we can see the pastries and gelato. The pastries are pretty good. I think they're famous for the stuffed croissant donut and the Dubai chocolate but our favorites or go to are the drinks and gelato. They have some unique flavors that you won't find elsewhere like biscoff, Persian (rose water I think), and my wife's fav lavender honey. I like how the flavors are blended completely and not just chunks on cream base. Oh and their customer service is really good. They even considered my request for Dubai dark chocolate bar. Thanks for that. Hope this helps but definitely a must try.

Thank you to Kayla and the owner of Gelato Sweetspot for having a fun and free experience on…read moreValentine's day. Kayla was very nice, warm, and welcoming when we arrived. She made sure to tell us all about how to order, and the free FroYo on Valentine's day. We perused the secret candy room and found a few things to purchase from the plethora of items in there. It is a nice assortment of all kinds of candy, snacks, drinks from all over the world. Then we checked out the store, the merchandise, the fun props like the pink cow, and the giant circus animal cookie. Great for photos and a fun environment. Lastly we checked out the Gelato and Frozen Yogurt. Plenty of great flavors to choose from. I went with a mix of cheescake and another flavor and I added in some Gelato, the flavor had peanut butter and chocolate. I added in some of the many mix-ins and had a sweet treat.

The vibes are very cute and it's a good idea. However, there is only a few gelato flavors, but it…read morewas mostly frozen yogurt. There was a cereal bar, which is pretty cool because I've never seen one in person before. And a circus animal cookie you can ride and take photos But the kid working said hi to us and then ignored us the whole time. It was our first time in there and we had no idea what we were doing. We very audibly said at least 6 times "oh don't know what that is, how do we do this, what is this" etc. he was on his phone the entire time None of the toppings had labels so we did not know what was what except for a few things which were very recognizable. The toppings that I did get (I think toffee maybe?) was stale and not crunchy at all. Mochi was good though! The flavor of the cake batter, frozen yogurt was a little weird, but not bad. When we were checking out, he asked us if we had been here before, which very obviously we had not lol. But whatever We check out and left and at least he told us to have a good day. However, we probably won't be going back...

CAKED is a must if you have not try this spot! O M G was everything we tried soooooooo scrumptious!…read moreFrom the brownies to the cookies...each was soft, fluffy and not overly sweet. The flavor combinations were exactly what they described. The Thai Tea Coffee tasted like Thai Tea. I am a sucker for anything Red Velvet, Snickerdoodle or S'Mores and they did not disappoint me. They were so yummy. I also enjoyed the Turtle Brownie! Honestly, you really cannot go wrong with anything you pick. They have a variety of assortments, but you can purchase a single cookie for $4 and brownies for $5. This is a MUST TRY especially if you have a sweet tooth or need some desserts for a special event, this is it! I promise you the service will be wonderful and you won't be disappointed!

I am so CAKED right now! After an amazing dinner, there is always room for dessert, and I am so…read moreglad these sweet treats made it to our table. They were brought for our party to share, and when I say they were absolutely delicious, I am not exaggerating! Before I get into the desserts, I have to give a special shout-out to Cyn. I had the pleasure of meeting her, and she is truly one of those rare people you instantly connect with. You know the kind--genuine, kind-hearted, and full of positive energy. Her professionalism and honesty really stood out. She happily walked us through the the customer favorites, and I have to say...she was spot on! We ended up getting several of her recommendations, and every single one was a hit. My personal favorites were the Red Velvet, Chocolate Lava, and Ube cookies. The Red Velvet was unbelievably soft and moist--more like a slice of cake than a cookie--and it practically melted in my mouth. If you're an ube fan, you'll love this one. It isn't overly sweet and reminds me of the flavor and texture of ube mochi. I could easily see myself pairing it with a nice iced latte for the perfect afternoon treat. As you can see from the photos, we had quite the variety! The Thai Tea Cookie was another standout--super moist and packed with flavor. Of course, you can never go wrong with a classic Snickerdoodle, and it definitely lived up to expectations. Now let's talk brownies. The Slutty Brownie is one of their most popular items, and after one bite, I completely understood why. Imagine layers of cookie and brownie with a creamy filling tucked in between. It was rich, decadent, and every chocolate lover's dream. Pure chocolate paradise! One thing I love is that Caked regularly pops up at local street markets throughout the week, making it easy to grab a sweet treat while you're out exploring. If you happen to see them, do yourself a favor and stop by. Pick up a few goodies--you won't regret it. And as I always say...you can thank me later!
