Puffy Cakes

I’m so glad I stumbled upon this place!! The cakes are SO good but definitely recommend sharing with someone else as it can be a lot. The staff are SUPER nice and we even had a conversation about differences in espresso. The atmosphere inside is also nice and there are some seats that are close to an outlet if you need to study or work. It was cold in there when I went because of the A/C, so maybe bring something to layer with you if you plan on spending some time there. I will definitely be back!

The Dubai chocolate was DELICIOUS! As of today (3/22/25) they still have bars and circles of the viral Dubai chocolate, and it was just like I saw online. Been craving to try it for weeks, and was so happy to find a place that had them. It was well wrapped and very tasty. I will say I ordered the circle, and it was very small, but it is very rich so it's a good size to try it without buying the whole bar. I do have to recommend the full bar though, because it's really pretty, and trust me, you're gonna want that much of it. It's pricey, but it's a lot of specialty ingredients and work to make them, so I think it's very much worth it. It's soft enough that it even splits in half like in the videos, and has the proper crunch as well. I can't vouch for any other items at the store, but the chocolate bar was fabulous and made my day.

I'm honestly not typically a fan of sweets and baked goods but WOW, not only were the cakes beautiful they were incredible. They were doing construction when I was in so...not great atmosphere. If you are looking for puddy cakes though....this is definitely the place.

Where do I start?! I was craving Japanese Cheesecake because of all the social media posts. Google sent me to this place and I’m so glad they did. I asked the front guy what he recommended. He said the lotus pistachio cake. I ordered one. My friend had the chocolate bomb. To drink I got a latte and my friend got shaken espresso. Cakes were out of the world good. Yes there was a little wait, but these are specialty cakes. Latte was also amazing, better than what you’d get from a chain coffee store. Good vibes, clean store. I’ll be back.

Not really sure where all the negative reviews are coming from. I’ve been here three times and each time they meet or exceed expectations. Yes, they are newer and yes, it takes probably 2 mins longer than Starbucks to get a coffee. But my iced lattes have always been good, and the cheesecake is a solid 8/10. It is a little dry, but that’s why you have it with coffee 🙂 the ambiance is upscale but relaxed. Definitely worth a visit

They have great puff cakes. If you haven’t tried them I would definitely suggest it. They have different drink both cold and hot. The atmosphere in the place is just nice and cozy. They have cute details as decorations in the cafe.

Everything was DELICIOUS! My daughter and I had the original fluffy pancakes and they were so good. My gf had the traditional breakfast. The food was fresh and terrific. The cappuccino was perfect too. We will definitely be back!!!

Delicious Desserts and Cozy Vibes! We visited this place for the first time, drawn in by our love for desserts. From the moment you walk in, the cozy decor makes you feel right at home. We had seen this spot on Instagram and decided to try it, especially since we’re big fans of Japanese pancakes. We started with the Ube Oat Latte, which was really good—though a bit on the sweet side for our taste. We also tried the Biscoff Puff Pastry and the Berry Puff Pastry. The flavor combination of the puffy creations was delicious, but unfortunately, the puff pastries were a bit dry and pricey too ($13.75 each for a 4” size). Despite that, we’ll definitely be back to try more of their drinks and maybe go for a freshly cooked puff pastry or their Hokkaido cheese tarts next time!

Someone I knew had been hearing about this dessert place and wanted to try it, so we went to check it out. Puffy Cakes is a cute cafe vibe counterserve place where you can order their puffy cakes (hard to describe, it's a fluffy cake that feels almost similar to a Japanese souffle pancake but not quite) that comes in various flavors as well as some other desserts they have. We opted to share a puffy cake with a Twix type flavor and this pink mousse looking case. I enjoyed the puffy cake a lot - I love that type of batter, but the Twix was stale and I'd probably recommend going with the original. Sometimes, simple is best. I cannot recall the exact flavor of the bright pink item we ate but we were surprised by how light the texture was and really liked it - I recommend trying it when you're there. Overall, a nice dessert spot to hang out and chat with a friend and worth trying if you want to try a new dessert.

Went in to work on a Friday afternoon. It was very loud, making it hard to concentrate. There were at least three noise sources at any given time. There is plenty of room and tables to work at and free wifi, but I got the impression that the staff didn't want us sticking around. As for the cake, it was great. I got the biscoff cake and it was drenched in cookie butter. The cakes were bigger than I expected - they could definitely be split between two people. The matcha was standard. I would recommend doing takeout or ordering for delivery.

Came here after lunch with a friend and shared a matcha and ube souffle cheesecake. I was so excited to try out Puffy Cakes since I love souffle pancakes and this seemed like a good resemblance. We sat down and one of the workers brought out our souffle cheesecakes to us. Both of the souffle cheesecakes were sunken in the middle and not visually appealing. They were not soft and fluffy as expected and were pretty dense. They were pretty disappointing so I only took a few bites.

Such a cute dessert spot! I loved the Valentine's Day decorations and the cozy ambiance. The customer service was friendly, but just a heads-up--be prepared for a bit of a wait for drinks if it's busy. I tried the cheese tart and the iced strawberry matcha latte, and both were delicious! While everything was great, coming from NYC, I didn't find it particularly unique--but it's definitely worth a visit!

We were in the neighborhood for lunch and stopped in on a whim. We picked out some macarons to try later that evening. They were typical pricing, the people at the counter were friendly, and the flavors and textures of the macarons were good. We didn't try their puffy cakes that they're more known for/based off of.

Ordered ordinary cheesecake from here on uber eats. The packaging was absolutely pretty. Its so Perfect to send a small surprise to a loved one. Cake was fresh and yummy. Though its a bit on expensive side. Didn't realize this store opened last year. Would love to go in someday.

My friend and I went to Puffy Cakes to try a new place to work from. They do have free wifi and plenty of room to work but it was very loud and weird vibes. I asked the woman at the counter which puffy cake she recommends and it was the right choice! I got the chocolate bomb puffy cake which was delicious! I would recommend getting the food but taking it to go.

We tried the matcha and Ube cheesecakes. No toppings. Visually, texturally and taste-wise, this is a very poorly attempted imitation at Japanese souffle cheesecakes. Barely, if any, flavor of neither Ube nor matcha in the cakes. The texture was inconsistent between the two cakes. Ube was strangely dense, the other was softer, a little closer to the real thing. At least they weren't dry. The cakes are wrinkly, saggy, and make me sad. No issues with service. Cashier was very nice. I wouldn't return to try more of the menu.

Full disclosure, my friends just opened this spot so I'm going to be a bit biased. The cakes and the tea here are delicious. The cakes are said to be like a cheesecake but there isn't so much of a cheese flavor to them. They're super soft and moist, and would pair very well with a coffee or tea for morning breakfast. I had this one cold but I would try them warm and see how I like that. I also had the little blueberry tart thing and it was delicious. I had one of the premium teas (I can't remember which) and that was also very good. The ambiance is cute. It's a chill little spot you can get a cake and a tea on a weekend morning before starting the rest of your day. Or maybe even an afternoon tea break. The staff there are also very friendly so it's a great spot to go to to get a snack.

The best place to enjoy a dessert!! I loved the Japanese cake, really good presentation!! A little bit expensive but absolutely worth it.

Delicious cookies, especially the chocolate chip cookie, though the Biscotti cookie was good too. Cute and quaint atmosphere with unique art, and cool lighting. Some Japanese style, while others looked like teardrops. Sal shared his story with how he came up with the idea for the fusion of French and Japanese bakery elements along with quality coffee. Great service! Even my dog approves!! Check it out!

The cakes really do be puffy here! We actually didn't get the cheesecakes but instead opted for the Ube and matcha bread pudding and raspberry French lemon tart. The bread pudding was really tasty and reminded me of an elevated pound cake. The lemon tart, as the name suggests. The crust is really tasty. The worker at the front was really friendly. There are plenty of tables to sit at and street parking was easy to find. The decor inside is pretty cutesy. It's a nice spot to grab dessert.

This place is such a cute new spot in west town! The workers are super nice and accommodating. They answered all of our questions and helped us choose a couple desserts to try. The cheesecake is fluffy and not too sweet which I absolutely loved. We tried both the matcha and ube! The cheese tarts were also very good & the pudding cake was surprisingly so chewy and yummy as well. I would say call ahead to make sure they have the flavors you want just because they make it fresh and sometimes run out of flavors! Definitely check them out!

Ordered the PB one and a coconut custard tart. Both were delicious! Not super sweet which I like and just the right consistency. Def be back, welcome to the hood!

we got the biscoff puffy cake. It was crunchy and soft and delicious. Would come again.

Tried the matcha and ube cakes along with a few other items they had displayed. Of everything I tried, nothing stood out to me and I didn't think anything was really that good.

I walked into this cafe this morning, I had never been there before. I was not greeted when I walked in or acknowledged at all. When I walked up to the counter I was looking at the menu and deciding what to order. There were 3 workers in there that did not ask if I wanted anything or if they could help me. There were only 2 other customers in the store. I just left. It was extremely rude. The food did look great though!

ZERO stars. I have tried Uncle Tetsu's in L.A. and Keki's in NYC, and Puffy Cakes does not come anywhere close! It was almost inedible. The original Japanese cheesecake is supposed to be incredibly jiggly and fluffy, but theirs is overly dense and grossly wet. I was also shocked that their tiny 4-inch sized cheesecake is $10.50, which is ridiculously overpriced. So disappointed.

Cake was really good and the layout of the store is group friendly but I suggest trying to avoid only having one person working over the weekend because it takes away from customer service

This is one of our new favorite places! The seating area is fresh and clean. The owners and all employees have been so kind to us and our kids. Their cakes are a little bigger than a man's fist, for an idea of their size, and they are totally worth the price. They are so cute in their package and the puffy texture and flavor are perfect. The chocolate and the caramel sauces are great. We haven't tried the other sauces, but we are planning to go back and check them out next time. We would really like to try their teas and coffees also! If you're trying to decide between Puffy Cakes and Hoosier Mama across the street, I'd say get both and it depends what you're in the mood for. Puffy Cakes are light and fluffy, the other places's desserts are usually heavier with a powerful flavor.

I tried this place on a whim and couldn't be more pleased! Charming interior with plenty of seating. The staff was super friendly and the vibe is chill. The actual Puffy Cakes are incredibly satisfying if, like me, you love a sweet treat that doesn't make your teeth ache from too much sugar. The texture is LOVELY and rich. Be prepared to try something new, it's not conventional American cheesecake. It's not especially cheese but I was not disappointed! I also think their Puffy cakes would be amazing for making Trifle.

A little bit expensive but the food is so incredibly good. They were all out of the 4" cheesecakes but I got 2 slices of the traditional with pistachio sauce and it was so light and fluffy and the flavor was amazing.

food was delicious! not too sweet but can make it sweeter with toppings. staff was very nice and made sure we knew about all the specials. cute ambiance as well. Could use some better to-go boxes though. Def recommend!!!
