    I got a classic cheesecake with strawberries and blueberries. It tastes fresh and fluffy - better than I expected and very different from any traditional cheesecake. I would come back for special occasions. You have to order ahead though because their orders are packed and short notices aren't guaranteed.

    This cake tastes as amazing as it looks! Christina was super responsive via email when placing the order and text when scheduling a local pickup. Our family (kids included) thoroughly enjoyed the cake, especially for my aunt who follows a strict diabetic diet. If you're on the market for Japanese cheesecake in the East Bay, this is the place to go!

    It's Mediocre. I told her about my preferences for sweetness but still it is too sweet for my liking. I ate one slice and gave the rest to my boyfriend and his roommate. I am glad they enjoyed it. Looks nice but a disappointment 40 bucks :*( for cake, in which I forgot to ask about the size and wasn't told 5 bucks for the appx 15 mins delivery No more handmade cakes in Bay Area I will learn from videos and bake my own. 45 bucks I can literally go for 3-4 rounds of ingredients. Attentive customer service

    Japanese cheesecake with panda stencil

    Corrine did an amazing job! I ordered a birthday cake for my husbands birthday with a request for a Panda. The cheesecake was moist and delicious! So nice to support a local baker and it was such a nice feature that she was able to deliver. The process was easy and she is super responsive.

    I was looking for a Japanese soufflé cheesecake for my partner's birthday. I had looked up Uncle Tetsu but they were closed due to covid and a bit pricy. Luckily I found Sonshine Cheesecake; her cakes looked great, and she had great reviews on yelp and Facebook. I messaged her on fb on the 7th, and she replied immediately. I asked her if she could have one ready by the 10 and she said it was no problem. She was able to stencil my partner's name on the cake, sent photos, and then delivered it to our doorstep on the 10th in the middle of the day! The cheesecake was still warm, and packed in a bubble wrapper and a box for safety. It looked amazing and tasted even better! We devoured it over the course of a few days and have been craving another ever since!

    Corinne made a cheesecake for me, for my moms birthday on short notice! This cake was the perfect size for my small family and we ALL enjoyed it. It's keto but it was the perfect sweet fluffy dessert (she uses monk fruit sweetener). I'm not on a keto diet and I honestly forgot it was keto. It was just delicious!! I'm just so happy it all worked out. Japanese cheesecake is my mom's favorite dessert and it made her day during this lockdown. Thanks again Corinne!!

    Keto Totoro with a Leaf Matcha Cheesecake

    I am obsessed with Sonshine Cheesecake's matcha cheesecake. I ordered a matcha cheesecake and normal cheesecake, and both had the best fluffy texture and were so airy. These cheesecakes were significantly more delicious than the other soufflé cheesecakes I've ordered in NYC/SF and honestly even in Hokkaido (they're all too way sweet and often lack the fluffy/bouncy texture and seem deflated). Both were also the perfect sweetness / not very sweet (perhaps because we asked Corinne for reduced sweetness), so we had a fantastic time enjoying them for breakfast too! The most exciting part, however, was that in addition to being truly delicious, the cheesecakes were the most gorgeous cheesecakes I've ever seen. Corinne is creative and helped me cut out custom stencils for Ghibli designs: Kiki and Totoro (or KE-TOtoro lolol)! I absolutely adore the design and I'm so grateful for Corinne's help in making all my keto and Ghibli dreams come true! I've recommended her to all of my friends. Thank you, Sonshine Cheesecake!

    It's a wonderful shopping experience with Sonshine Cheese Cake! I contacted the owner Corinne via Nextdoor App, and communication was ver smooth and very responsive! I ordered the cake for my cousin's birthday, it tasted so good! Most important thing: it's Keto-friendly, so I love it~ For sure will order the cake again, and you should try it, too!

    Ordering and delivery was a breeze! Gifted to my in-laws (my mother-in-law passed away on Christmas day 2 years ago and this was a tribute gift) and they were pleased, and loved the stencil. The cake looked amazing, was delicious, and it paired well with the after-dinner-coffee!

    Berry cheesecake!

    Ordered for the first time for my wife's birthday. It was delicious! Not too sweet, but light and delicious. Packaged beautifully and my wife and family devoured it all pretty quick!

There was a live voice, not a recording asking me 1) which location I wanted, 2) would I hold because they were helping other customers, and 3), to please leave a voice mail and they could call back later. No! The guy on the other end said they had 6-inch round cakes in their case - perfect size for our celebration. It took about 30 minutes to get there and I managed to park in front of their door (a miracle in itself!). I chose a mango mousse cake - it was gorgeous, and perfect for an impromptu birthday celebration. Note: the finished cake is more like 8+ inches in diameter. I think it is the base of the cake they measure from. Once you add on the whipped cream and lady fingers, you have a gorgeous and substantial cake. Thank you so much, our friend was very happy!

    Yum! I remember going to Brezo back when they were located at Point Richmond, and I've heard about…read moretheir move to Solano Ave for quite some time. Most recently I finally was able to give them a try. So glad we did! We came around lunch time and sat at a booth. There were other worker bees grabbing a quick lunch. The service was quick, efficient and friendly, and we ordered the French onion soup to start, and split the fried chicken sandwich and Philly cheesesteak sandwich. The sandwiches come with a side, so one plate we did fries with a house-made aioli and the other plate, their quinoa kale salad. Delicious. Such hearty portions! The bread is so fresh, the meat juicy and ample, and flavors just right. We also ordered beer on tap, shoutout to Oakland United, and tried their house-made hot sauce that they also sell by the bottle. Would love to come back to try brunch here too. I also saw a patron ordering the quinoa kale salad with fried chicken, and yes, that's the vibe! Pricing is fair for the quality and quantity, and street parking available (although the restaurant is located at the bottom of Solano where it tends to be a bit more busy). Women-owned biz, and they also were on Check Please! Bay Area.

I chose to ignore it and proceeded to order the banana crème iced coffee and a pastry. The other barista was pleasant enough, but the initial one never even made contact with me. I'm not expecting a full-on conversation, but a simple "hello" would go a long way. They placed my pastry on a little wooden board and proceeded to make my drink, so I figured they'd bring it out to me when it was ready. I chose to grab a seat while I waited. They then called my order so I went to grab it and sat back down. I immediately noticed every other person there was getting table service. The baristas would bring out the drinks and pastries on the same wooden boards, even to the people that were upstairs. Coincidentally, I was the only male and person of color in there. It really left a bad taste in my mouth and soured my whole experience. Drink and pastry was great, but I would not recommend going here just based off their customer service. With all the coffee shops in the area, you'd think they'd make an effort to make people feel welcome. I'd suggest taking your business elsewhere.

Overall, it's been a good experience every time. Parking can be challenging depending on the time of day. Most of the parking is on the street, so you'll need to keep an eye out for pedestrians and bicyclists while looking for a spot. That's probably the biggest inconvenience of visiting this place. There is usually a 15 to 20-minute wait whenever we come for dessert, but we've always been seated within the quoted wait time, which we appreciate. The restaurant itself is fairly small, so the dining area can feel crowded. Tables are very close together, and you're practically sitting back-to-back with other guests. Because of this, the noise level can get pretty high, and it's easy to overhear conversations from nearby tables. The desserts are the highlight here. The BingSu is excellent, and the lava cake is one of our favorites. The menu is accessed through a QR code, making ordering simple and convenient. Food portions are decent, although prices are definitely on the premium side. Service is efficient, and the food and desserts usually arrive pretty quickly. We used to go to their city location regularly, but over the years we've found ourselves visiting this location more often because the area feels more comfortable and convenient for us. That has made this our go-to spot whenever we're craving dessert. Overall, this is a great place for dessert. The quality of the desserts keeps us coming back, but the difficult parking situation and cramped seating prevent it from being a full 5-star experience. Would definitely return for the BingSu and lava cake.
