The desert is the best. Takes 45 minutes to make it so, order it when you order regular good too.

Tried the salted caramel and blueberry cheesecake soufflé pancakes, both were delicious. The crunchy chicken wings and spicy chicken wings were delicious. The noodles dishes were good and their drink selections were all tasty. The only item that didn’t meet my satisfaction was the thai crepe cake. I was expecting something flaky and crisp and it was soft and kinda soggy.
The soufflé is GOOD! The noodles weren’t bad either!!! 🤤 Honest the only complain I have is the parking. We almost left because the parking was a pain in the butt to find!!!!!!!!
Parking: SUPER HARD TO FIND PARKING, very limited space in the alley😢

Is this a dingey coffee shop? Is this a Thai food restaurant? Is this a dessert store? I don't know... What I DO know is they said it would take 1 hour to make the souffle pancakes... And the place wasn't even busy! We ordered a cake and tea, which still took 20 minutes to get our order - even though not a single item required any cooking. The cake WAS delicious, but the service and atmosphere were abysmal.

You absolutely have to try this place! Chicken carbonara pasta was soft and creamy deliciousness, but the star of the show is the fluffy pancake souffle dessert. We tried the salted caramel and blueberry and were amazed at how flavorful they were😋.

Cake De Partie is a delightful spot for sweets and desserts, particularly known for their Pancake Soufflés. These fluffy creations are incredibly delicious and worth the visit!
What We Tried
1. Crème Brûlée Soufflé Pancake: A standout with a caramelized crème brûlée topping, fresh strawberry slices on the side, and a scoop of vanilla ice cream. The combination of textures and flavors is divine.
2. Ube Soufflé Pancake: Topped with a creamy ube sauce, this one is less sweet and offers a subtle, earthy flavor. It also comes with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, though it might be even better with a stronger ube-flavored ice cream for consistency.
3. Triple Chocolate Cornflake Soufflé Pancake: Perfect for chocolate lovers! Rich chocolate flavors cover the soufflé, topped with s’mores and a scoop of chocolate ice cream. The crunch of cornflakes adds a fun texture.
The Experience
The staff is friendly and welcoming, but the restaurant seems to be understaffed. We waited about 30 minutes for our soufflés to be ready, which might be a drawback for some. The dining area is small, and while the large street sign makes it easy to find, the limited seating might lead to waits during busy hours. Additionally, the tables are really unstable, which detracted our dining experience a lot as tables are shaking all the time if guys would have the meal together. It has some outside dining seats which might allow customers bringing the dogs together as a dog-friendly spot.
Final Thoughts
Despite the minor inconveniences, Cake De Partie is a good destination for dessert enthusiasts. The Pancake Soufflés are beautifully presented and taste amazing, making it worth the wait. A little improvement in seating and service efficiency would make this place even better!
Came right as they opened. The service was excellent and the staff were very accommodating as well as hospitable. The Ube Crepe cake was a good balance between not being too sweet but having good flavor. The Coconut Cream Coffee was really unique and a cool concept.

I recently visited Cake De Partie on December 29th at around 3 PM, and my experience was extremely disappointing and frustrating. I believe I was unfairly treated and possibly racially profiled during what should have been a routine transaction. Here’s what happened:
I ordered a meal totaling around $35 and handed the cashier a $50 bill to pay. Instead of processing my payment, the cashier held my bill up in the air, inspected it thoroughly, and then brought it to her boss. Both of them proceeded to scrutinize the bill for what felt like 10 minutes. This excessive inspection was already uncomfortable, but it got worse.
After their lengthy review, the cashier looked me up and down in a way that felt judgmental and then refused to accept my $50 bill, asking if I had smaller bills. I didn’t receive any clear explanation, and the entire interaction left me feeling singled out and humiliated. A $50 bill isn’t an excessive or unusual amount of money to pay for a $35 meal, so this level of suspicion and scrutiny felt completely unwarranted.
This experience was especially disheartening because Cake De Partie used to be one of my favorite restaurants due to the quality of their food. However, I can no longer support or recommend a place that treats its customers this way. As a Black customer, I couldn’t help but feel this level of suspicion and treatment was racially motivated. This type of behavior makes customers feel unwelcome and judged, and it’s something I would not expect from a place like this.

Amazing crepe cake, also the pasta, so good! Definitely have some ube crepe cake!
Drove 30+ min to try this place. Not worth it. Smelled like sewer. We could hardly eat our dessert because the smell was so intense. We were worried our food was going to be spoiled because of the smell. We got the soufflé pancakes which were good, over priced but since the atmosphere was stinky and dirty, won’t be coming back.

Cake di Partie San Diego, California
We dined and posted about different dessert places in San Diego, and yes, we have enjoyed all the desserts in all these places. There is one that is in our top five of dessert places, and this particular place also serves other food items. Cake De Partie is a fantastic place with excellent food and desserts. The staff is very friendly as well. Today, we had one of our favorite desserts, and that would be a Japanese Souffle Pancakes.
" Japanese souffle pancakes differ from typical American pancakes in that they are very tall and have a fluffy and airy texture, almost like a mini sponge cake. "
They offer different flavors from chocolate, blueberry, matcha, etc. Yes, they are delicious and very airy and light. We also ordered some of their Cloud Signature drinks, which were also delicious and flavorful.
The desert is the best. Takes 45 minutes to make it so, order it when you order regular good too.
