The Yeti Dessert Cafe

They offer breakfast daily here starting at 7 AM, and have a wide variety of great options (avocado toast, eggs benedict, omelettes, pancakes, french toast, etc)! The guy at the counter, who was also the cook, was really nice and attentive. I got the veggie omelette with hash browns, as well as 1 blueberry pancake (he was nice and charged me for 1 single, off menu). Everything was delicious and nicely plated. The pancakes are a little bit denser, but still moist. Prices are super reasonable (my whole breakfast was $16 before tax and tip), and I'll definitely be coming back!

The owner was friendly and my breakfast was tasty! The farm omelette was densely packed, the fruit was fresh, and the hash brown was slightly crispy. They also have board games and the halloween decorations were a nice touch. Would definitely come back to try some of their other foods.

Charming café in the heart of Mira Mesa now offers a breakfast boutique with a selection of sweet and savory entrées and many Asian inspired treats. We enjoyed the avocado flight, which includes four varieties of avocado toast (prosciutto, bacon, salmon, and egg) and the egg white farmer's omlette. Friendly atmosphere with attentive staff who kindly accommodated substitutions. I really liked the vibe here: cozy, clean, and calm (no loud music nudging you to leave) that I was actually able to read a book! Breakfast at the Yeti will be a frequent habit!

Amazing. Delicious. These two words doesn't give this place justice. But it's a great start. If you're looking for something that will be a true delight this is it. They really care about the customer. Wow. The taste is absolutely insane. You wouldn't think so. Better than Ice Cream at least in my opinion. Go check them out. Plenty of specials going on during the week.

If I could give Snowy Village less than one star I would. I get that this is shaved ice and I suppose they are trying to trick you into thinking you are eating ice cream but without a spoonful of any toppings with it, all I could taste was ice. Not just ice but an awful jelly substance that did not belong in an dessert like this. It looked nice enough but after two spoonfuls I trashed it and walked around to the frozen yogurt place for a real dessert.

Two words to summarize: amazingly delicious! The red bean taiyaki was flaky and yummy! The snow ice bowl was so smooth and not overly sweet! Also had the house green tea with lychee popping pearl which was a new and different sensation compared to Boba. We will visit again to try other amazing items!

This is currently my new favorite dessert place. In this picture you see strawberry cheesecake snow bowl and the Oreo snow bowl. I had serious doubts about this place because I hate shaved ice but this is absolutely not the same thing. This is ice shaved so fine that it's more like delicious, fine sand that melts in your mouth. They add brown sugar jelly to the bottom of the snow bowl and it is really tasty. I also tried the green tea with red bean. It's so good! Their red beans are sweet, not tasteless. They also serve taiyaki and it is yummy! :) I recommend this spot for your next dessert outing!!

I like that they offer savory and sweet snacks. We tried the Pepperoni and Cheese Crossiant Taiyaki and also the Mango and Strawberry Snow Bowl. Both items were really good. The place was clean and the staff was friendly. We didn’t use the self-order kiosks but I imagine they come in handy on busy days. Water pitcher and water cups are at the counter for self-service.

I had high expectations given the great reviews to this place. I am visiting for the day from Orange County, where there are a lot of great milk tea and dessert cafes. The service was friendly, and there was plenty of seating. Took us some time to find the store, as the door was less conspicuous than we had expected. The vibe was casual and bright. The food was just ok. My friend got the bubble waffle w whipped cream. Presumably they made this fresh but it was nothing to write home about. I had the Nutella and banana taiyaki. Although this came out nice and hot, it was too greasy and crispy for my taste. I prefer those from SomiSomi that have the mochi chewiness. I also got a milk tea. I opted for the less sweet option. And something was not quite right. I don't know whether it's the type of tea or the milk was starting to turn.

Decent spot for some dessert in the Mira Mesa plaza! They serve snow bowls that are packed to the brim with goodies; the drink are decent, too. My main gripe is the lack of descriptions for the items, so you're not too sure what you'll get.

A solid dessert spot, my only complaint is that the bubble waffle isn't as crispy as I would have liked but paired with the whipped cream and ice cream you don't really notice as much (or it becomes not as important since itll get soggy anyways). A friend and I shared 2 desserts which was more than we can handle. Both were good, I would just say if you get the mango, get it near summer time when it's more in season because they use fresh mangos. It's also a nice place to stay and chat, or study! Service was great, they didn't kick us out even though we stayed almost 15 minutes after closing... I felt so bad. Location is inside the plaza or L&L, Ding tea, Little Sakana, etc. Parking is a bit difficult especially at night but you can park in the CVS parking lot or the Von's parking lot! Edit: I came again after this drafted review and my friends and I got the same desserts (solid) and were able to stay and play some of the fun games they have on the side! They have a big table so you can accommodate a bigger group

This is a nice, quaint cafe with board games, a couple of medium to large tables and booths, complimentary lemon water, and a counter to take orders with a visible kitchen. I ordered 2 croissant taiyakis (all taiyakis served here are croissant taiyaki), and was served in about 8 minutes. There was only one worker, so each order was done one at a time. While the service and ambiance were decent, the food was not too great. Perhaps the other desserts and meals are better, but the croissant taiyakis are more of a novel idea than a well executed idea. First, each croissant Taiyaki was $6, which is very expensive despite the puff pastry when compared to SomiSomi's 2 for $4.95 and the average $4.50 cost of a croissant (more or less leavened puff pastry). Each taiyaki was made with a taiyaki-like-press (think of a waffle maker), where a puff pastry sheet, then the filling, then another puff pastry sheet was stacked on top. The press would then be closed, cooking the whole thing into a taiyaki. Unfortunately, since the puff pastry was left as a sheet, it looked like Han Solo frozen in carbon, but taiyaki edition. Additionally, the texture of the cooked puff pastry was dry, few in layers, and chewy. It was crispy, but it was a heavy "crunchy" crispy, not a light, delicate crispy expected of puff pastry. This end result did not surprise me because the puff pastry was pushed down instead of allowed to rise and expand from steam within the layers. The puff pastry may have been tough due to overdevelopment of the gluten in the dough, too. Lastly, the puff pastry was not quite buttery, and had more of a browned flour taste than a nutty sweet buttery flavor that good puff pastries have. Aside from the saddening shape, texture, and taste of the outside, the filling could not redeem the taiyakis. The apple pie taiyaki was the best of the two, but instead of being a syrupy, warm, sweet bright apple filling with various spices, it was like dried apples tossed in cinnamon and sugar. The churro filling was literally low-gluten flour, some sort of hydration, cinnamon, and sugar. It had the texture of fine wet sand and was too starchy. Overall, nice vibe, but the taiyaki was a cool idea, but not quite executed well, especially for the price.

The service is so good! And the food is absolutely delicious I had the Taiwanese sandwhich and the bread was so soft and the flavor of all the ingredients were fresh and delish! Also got the campfire iced coffee and it was excellent

Taiyaki for Saturday lunch -- specifically, Ham & Cheese taiyaki (3/5 $5.95) with Iced Black Tea (4/5 $3.25) to drink. The taiyaki was sweet and over sized; ham & cheese filling was sparse for the taiyaki size. It was too hot to sit outside, so we ate inside. Counter service was slow -- one person taking and filling orders.

The family loves coming here for desserts because of the variety.. everyone can get what they want.. from mango shaved snow, bubble waffle with ice cream, taiyaki and tea drinks. Lots of fun board games to enjoy while you wait. Bonus points for the holiday theme decorations all year long!

Delicious ice cream-like dessert. Prices weren't bad and there were many options to choose from. The flavor was excellent and the ice cream-like snow melts in your mouth. The service was great.

They are now serving green tea treats from Matcha Cafe Maiko and I couldn't be happier! I have weekly cravings for the matcha soft serve and now I don't have drive to Convoy

This place is delicious. If any of you have room in your stomachs after ayce Korean bbq, sushi, or shabu shabu, head over to this place. Ordered the watermelon snow bowl and some boba. Service was quick and prompt. This place is located across from the L&L barbecue and next to the poke shop. Would recommend for a good snow bowl, which is their version of shaved ice.

I came here to grab a quick dessert and I was quickly greeted. They had plenty of seating and they had board games as well. It looked like the had wifi because there were people working in there.

The owner is very very nice! The taiyaki's texture is not really to my liking tho.. they're kinda too oily and too hard. Drinks are okay. I really like the atmosphere of the place, gives off a nice and warm family vibe here.

Omg!! Found this amazing desert place and it was soooo amazing!! Definitely pinning this place so we can go again. They have several table inside and some outside. They also have some games and apparently some of the ghost thing on the table made some noise lol the kids next to us keeps pressing it and we were hoping that the batteries will die soon lol Overall, we had a great experience! I got the watermelon snow ice with ice cream and lavender milk tea. I share the ice cream with my doggo and she really enjoys it. The snow ice was the perfect texture and sweetness. It was the bomb.com. The lavender milk tea is equally delicious. My friend got the heath waffle which she finishes it. She was equally happy and satisfied. We definitely will be visiting again.

I love this little cafe, it's the perfect spot for a quick breakfast and chit chat! I usually go in the mornings so it's not too crowded. The sweet items are the perfect amount of sweet--not too much but just enough to hit the craving. I live in close proximity to a Snooze but the sugar in the American style breakfast is a bit too heavy for me sometimes so I come here instead. This place knows how to not overdo it! Since it's summertime, I'm taking advantage of the in-season berries, they are at the peak of ripeness and really add to the flavor of the food! The owner is very accommodating and kind! I'm sure this business will do well with him and the rest of the great staff! 10/10 will be back here for more breakfast items

Friendly staff and good Taiwanese sandwiches menu. Dine in this time. Will give it another try for to go.

As a regular client of The Yeti, I can confidently say that this place is a hidden gem in the heart of the city. I highly recommend it to anyone the deserts are delicious! The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, making it the perfect spot to come in and get some work done or even play some quick board games with friends. The Yeti provides the perfect environment for this with its comfortable seating and calming ambiance. The staff is friendly and accommodating, making for a wonderful experience. I will definitely be back soon!

They offer breakfast here starting at 7 AM, which is when I arrived! There was only one employee working at the time, but he was really nice and attentive. I got the veggie omelette with hashbrowns, as well as one blueberry pancake (they are able to do singles, off menu). Everything was delicious and well cooked. The pancakes are a little bit denser, but still moist. Prices are super reasonable (my whole breakfast was $16 before tax and tip), and I'll definitely be coming back!

This is such a cute little cafe. Food was delicious too. We ordered French toast with berries and egg avocado toast. The avocado toast had drizzled balsamic vinegar, red onions and some greens with over medium egg on top on wheat bread. The combination of the fresh red onions and balsamic vinegar was delightful. French toast with berries was not overly sweet dusted with powdered sugar. They also have desserts such as fresh fruit shaved ice, which also looked yummy. Staff was super friendly and on top of that the place was clean. Definitely need to return for their desserts.

I went back at lunch hour with my kids; ordered oreo bubble waffle and taiyaki with bacon and cheese also a hash-brown; by the time we got home they've finished it in less two minutes. That's how much they enjoyed the food! I ordered strawberry shake, so delicious I definitely recommend this place. OMG, the hash-brown, I kid you not, this is by far the best hash-brown, it is top-notch, it's like a gourmet.!!!

Came in because I saw their breakfast menu and needed a quick bite. Ordered a breakfast burrito and rose garden tea. When the food came out, I was pleasantly surprised by how much filling the burrito had! It was a solid breakfast burrito, made fresh to order right in the front counter. Fresh eggs, cheese, bacon, and bell peppers. Kept me satisfied for breakfast and lunch. The rose garden tea was refreshing and and not artificial tasting. I ordered it with low sweetness and it was great. It had bits of rose in it but not the kind that would be annoying to drink. Would definitely order again. Customer service was super friendly and took care of my order, ensuring I enjoyed it, got the right sweetness level, and let me know if I needed anything. Props to Josh and the chef. I know this spot as snowy village before. However, the Yeti has taken a different direction with breakfast and lunch options coming soon while still maintaining that dessert cafe reputation. Not only is it still a great dessert spot, check out their food options too!

Updated post: We hadn't been here for a spell so had to revisit. The Taiwanese breakfast sandwich was a must again. The owners are so sweet and offered my son one of their new drinks...Ube shake!!!! Do you see the color on that??? It was delicious (of course) but so fun with the whipped cream and sprinkles. Can't wait to see what else they have new when I'm in the area again.

My message to the business owners would be to stick to the thing you're best at (the snow ice) and really make it shine, like making a build your own snow ice special or add special things like matcha or red beans, instead of trying to stretch the menu and do things that would end up with alright results, especially for smaller kitchens. I really think that this place can still shine due to the creamy and milky perfection of the snow ice, and I see there's so much potential to cater to a gen z/tiktok geared audience. Right now it is limited to a small number of non-customizable items, but new bowl shapes, waffle sizes, and other asian favored toppings would be an absolute game changer. It would make me very sad to see this place go.

Became my favorite place to have a coffee. And taiyaki are so delicious!!! Very pleasant and friendly service.

We had a really nice breakfast at Yeti this morning. The staff and owners were so friendly and the food was great. We had the veggie omelet, American breakfast, French toast, bubble waffle with strawberries and Nutella, and eggs Benedict. All were made fresh to order and my kids declared "this is better than IHOP!!" Which is very high praise coming from them. It's a small cafe, with a nice seating area and cute decor. Would definitely go back!

This has been my boyfriend and I's regular Sunday breakfast spot for a while now. This is a family owned business, and we've met the owners who have been incredibly helpful and kind. My favorite item to order is the Margherita Toast - no joke, I genuinely consider this to be the best avocado toast I've ever had. And I eat an embarrassing amount of avocado toast, haha. It's very worth getting! My boyfriend has a dairy allergy, and the staff is always incredibly kind and accommodating, cooking everything for his American breakfast with olive oil instead of butter, etc. It's a nice casual spot, and there's lots of board games to play as well, like yahtzee and checkers. It's the best Sunday breakfast and activity, always incredibly relaxing and peaceful :)

Closer to a 3.5, but for the hardworking guy behind the counter, it was a 4. What brought me here was they had originally shared the same name "Snowy Village", a dessert place in Seattle. What I found out that this place located in the Mira Mesa Mall was renamed The Yeti dessert cafe. A cute and comfy little dessert shop. We came during midday no crowd to enjoy a dessert after lunch. I honestly was expecting the cold fluffy like dessert I had in Seattle.... I must say, the desserts here are similar but more unique in a smaller version. A lot of flavor and ingredients going on but combined they are complimenting each other. The guy behind the counter created our masterpieces. He had to freshly make the waffle crunchy goodness and put together all the ingredients. We decided to dine in so he took his time and made it special for us. Come visit this place.

Service - 5/5 Very friendly server and cooks. They make sure they tell you if theres a wait time. Food - 5/5 So far everything we've ordered we love. Highly recommend the Taiwanese Breakfast, Hash Browns and Chicken and Waffle. Ambiance - 5/5 Place is clean, they have water and condiments on the sides. They also have games.

2nd rating, 2nd visit is so opposite from the first. The wait time that they told us was only 20 minutes but we ended up waiting for 100 mins for 2 waffles and 2 teriyakis..no joke ..this place is lame. Sore, 2nd visit is the last visit. Just being honest..They need to hire more people.

This place is amazing for dessert and BREAKFAST! It is easy to pass by one of the best places in mira mesa because its store front is small. But once you get into the store, the atmosphere is super cozy and welcoming. The staff were extremely kind and very helpful with ordering. They also provide board games to play while waiting on your order, its the perfect breakfast spot for a comfy Sunday morning. The food is fantastic as well. I ordered the traditional American breakfast, and they nailed the over medium eggs (most places really mess that up). I grew up in the south, and this meal really hit the spot. My date got the avocado toast, and it was dressed brilliantly, and the taste was *chefs kiss*. The prices were actually really nice too. We paid, I think, 30 dollars for 2 filling meals and some drinks. 10/10

As soon as I walked in, my family and I got greeted by one of the workers. Chef was really concentrated on making our delicious food... Food came out just in time. My kids loved the pancakes and waffles. I ordered myself a plate of chilaquiles. Best chilaquiles ever !! I would really recommend this place, I will definitely be going back to try the rest of the menu :) Keep up the good work guys!

Excellent service and food! I came here a couple days ago around noon during my lunch break. I was greeted by a friendly cashier and the crew working behind the counter. I was in a hurry, so I just ordered the breakfast burrito and side of pancakes. At my last visit here, I got the chilaquiles, which were some of the best chilaquiles that I've had since I took a trip to Cabo last year with a group of friends. The food was served in a timely manner, and I can tell that it was made with care! The burrito came with some spinach garnish to boot. It definitely hit the spot. Snooze used to be my favorite breakfast joint. Not anymore! I will definitely be coming here again in the near future

3.5 stars and a bit hit or miss. Kinda slow - it takes 30 minutes for one bubble waffle and iced tea so not really worth the wait if you have errands at the mall, but if you have extra time to kill this is a decent option. They seem to prioritize getting food out based on how big your party is - the larger the party, the quicker you get your order. Lavender Dreams and Rose Garden teas are good flavors, especially the former. Tayaki flavors (I've had banana+Nutella, strawberry+Nutella, and ham+cheese) are average, but this place is more generous with the batter. The Heath bubble waffle is 5/5 for the flavor. Service is always friendly and a 5/5, and I appreciate them always trying to upswell the ice cream add-on. Pre-made pastry (jesuite and chocolate croissant) is usually a bit stale and 2/5. They have board games if that's your jam.

Sweet tooth here! , avocado toast, chicken and waffles, chilaquiles verdes , desserts galore , awesome service, new in Miramesa , come a take a look ! You will love it.

Sadly the meal we ordered was not the best. I got the chilaquiles and they were the SALTIEST things I'd ever tasted. Like the chef that day must've went overboard.m with the sodium. My brother ordered the omelette and French toast and that was lacking sadly. I've just had so much better and unfortunately wasn't very impressed or satisfied with the meal. I forget which coffee he got too but it was way too sweet. This place has the potential to be so cool and fun with all the little board games you can play while you wait for your food and maybe we just got the wrong thing but hopefully they can work on these menu items because it was very forgettable and left a bad feeling in my mouth. Do not recommend.

I used to go here with friends a very long time ago when I was in high school, so this place is special and nostalgic to me. I used to always get their taiyaki and snowbowls. Now that I'm in college, I decided to come back again after so long to study for finals with a friend. The owner is very nice and welcoming and the food are presented well (I'll make sure to take pics next time). The staff are also very kind. There's wi-fi and there are chargers under the seats. Ambiance is good (especially at night with the hanging lights above the tables). We bought a Nutella Strawberry Bubble Waffle with coffee ice cream. The coffee ice cream is great (especially as a coffee lover) and not too sweet. I have a friend who said the breakfast food is amazing (I believe they're served until 2pm). There were free samples for their pasta and we really liked it and decided to order their pasta with shrimp and garlic bread (to-go). This was my first time ordering their savory meals and surprisingly it was a large portion and it was very filling! I had to save the rest for dinner. They even have board games and cards so you can bring some friends and play games together. I think it's such a good place to chill and/or study, while having some good foods or drinks during your session. Definitely check it out :)

Love the taiyaki. They have creative styles like apple pie and pecan pie. Though it's small, it's a cozy ambiance to hang out in.

We have taken our boys to The Yeti for bubble waffles, milk tea and Taiyaki. But this mama couldn't be more thrilled to have a new breakfast spot!!!! The breakfast menu is their newest addition and the options here are vast. I love me some variety so they've captured my heart right there.... To top it off, the food is beautiful! Why doesn't everyone make pretty food??!? So far we have tried the eggs Benedict... delicious! Not too heavy and I love that. There is a little hint of citrus in the hollandaise that makes it so fresh and lively. The veggie omelet with sausage was a "chefs choice" order when I just couldn't decide. I am not much of an omelette girl, but this might be my favorite menu item! It covers all the bases with hash browns, eggs, veg, and avocado... even micro greens to top it off (drool). My husband had the chorizo burrito and not unlike the rest of our meal it did not disappoint. My boys shared pancakes with chocolate chips and blueberries.... SO fluffy and portions are more than generous. Milk tea.... Awesome coffee... see you next Sunday, Yeti! It's safe to say we will be back!!! The couple who own the cafe are so involved and their staff is more than you would even expect for this quaint cafe. Everyone treats you like family and that alone will keep you coming back for more. Thank you Yeti for bringing my breakfast dreams to life.... Now can you please move closer to my home??

Friendly quick service. But their milk tea is oolong. I hate oolong. Should specify if it's something other than the typical plain/assam tea. Good amount of seating and not too loud inside, and they have games you can play. They also charge a 3% credit card fee...

Cute little place with comfortable seating, friendly staff and yummy food. They also have a great assortment of desserts and coffee

This place is great, I loved the green quilaquiles...I love how it came with little flowers, the presentation also was great! Thanks to chef J for preparing this great food 10 pot of ten

Excellent service! We got the classic bubble waffle. So delicious !! Can't wait to visit again!

Amazing breakfast ! Kids ordered Nutella filled pancakes. I got a breakfast burrito & husband a farm omelette ! Great staff , very friendly and quick service ! Will definitely be coming back !

Found some much needed breakfast with my nephew after running some errands. Food was great and staff even better. Shawn (owner) made sure we were well taken care of. We will definitely be coming back for their specialty deserts!

I think this place was just okay! Perhaps a little understaffed, because there were several customers waiting 10-15min because there was only one person working :( I forgot the name of what we got, but it was a halloween special with ube icecream, lots of sprinkles, watermelon balls, coconut or milky ice cream underneath. We found the combination of ube and watermelon balls odd, and the sprinkles too hard. We also got the oreo egg waffle, which was decent! Other than that, there are board games on the side, not too crowded, and the area was clean and a nice vibe! Perhaps we ordered the wrong things, but I do think this would be a nice place to get dessert and hang out.

My rating is a 3.5, I really wish yelp would let us give half ratings. It's not as bad as a 3, but not quite a 4. Our experience here today was a bit of a whirlwind. We came in for breakfast on a Sunday and the tables were full (which I expected because of the rave reviews and posts on neighborhood apps). It wasn't a long wait till we eventually got a table of our own. The atmosphere is nice and clean, comfortable seating. We placed our order and waited..and waited..and waited some more. It was then that I realized how frantic everyone in the kitchen was. I felt bad seeing them work so hard, trying to keep up with the amount of orders they had with the equipment available. It wasn't that they were under staffed, I don't think they would have been able to fit any more staff back there. I believe they just might have under estimated the breakfast crowd here in Mira Mesa, and unfortunately I feel that the shop is just too small to accommodate a full functioning breakfast spot (seating and cooking wise) to have it be really high quality breakfast during rush hour. Our breakfast had its highs and lows. My husband ordered his eggs over medium and they came cold and over cooked which really ruined the breakfast for him- but they were so busy we didn't want to be "those people". I got the chilaquiles. They weren't bad at all compared to the so called chilaquiles monstrosity at breakfast republic- I actually enjoyed the flavor of the green sauce and the perfect crispness of the tortilla, I just with there was more than one egg (which by the way was PERFECTLY cooked over medium- another reason my husband was irritated ). If they drizzled some Crema Mexicana over the top , plus an extra egg, it would've made these chilaquiles a solid 10/10. Their waffles were small and a bit tough, but I think that's just what happens when you have small waffles. The flavor was there though, and they gave us a pretty good sized portion of bacon which was great. I believe the owner was working today. he and the rest of the workers were very attentive and helpful, and I really felt bad about our experience, which I'm sure was due to the fact that it was during prime time breakfast on a Sunday and it was just too small of a place to really accommodate that much of an influx of orders. I think if they adopted the paper plate and utensils method like Kono's in PB, it would make things much more efficient for the space they have. We definitely will be back to try the taiyaki and snow ice- and we'll try to give breakfast another shot on a weekday when it's not super busy.

First time here and definitely coming back! Delicious breakfast menu and really cool place!

Breakfast now available on weekends! So good, well worth it. Fancy food for a cheaper price! Must try the Taiwanese breakfast sandwich! Drinks are great!

The place is warmly and brightly decorated inside. Food is good with some interesting new things for me to try such as Taiyaki. The only problem we had was finding the place. We circled around for 10min and almost gave up because we don't see it on any roadside listing or directory. It's behind Crab Hut and you need to walk a bit to see the entrance.

We had breakfast here today. The interior is cozy and relaxing. Plenty of tables. The food was really good! We had the Taiwanese Breakfast Sandwich (with spam), Eggs Benedict, 3 sweet Taiyakis which are like little stuffed croissant waffles, a bubble waffle, breakfast burrito and coffee. I would recommend all of the above. Can't wait to try more things on the menu!!

Avocado toast was delicious and well presented. I got the salmon toast. Friend tried the prosciutto toast and taiyaki, which had a croissant texture.
