Organic dessert shop with not-too-sweet baked goods & mochi
"The adorable Kearny Mesa cafe has glassed-in kitchen where bakers work throughout the day to create airy mango chiffon cakes, crepe cakes, or green tea and chocolate mochi that come with sweet sauces for dipping." - Helen I. Hwang
"It’s hard to resist one more bite at this refreshingly not-too-sweet dessert shop in Clairemont. Try the tender-skinned snowball mochi filled with fruit and cream or taro mochi cake with a delightful texture." - Helen I. Hwang
"A cottage business turned bonafide storefront and recipient of an Eater Award for best new dessert shop, Yiko Yiko is an earnest bakery whose handmade sweets aren’t too sugary, making it easy to crave the delicate textures and fresh flavors centered on trendy Asian desserts." - Candice Woo
"Arriving quietly in Kearny Mesa after pandemic delays, Yiko Yiko is an Asian bakery and cafe that began in owner Yuan Yuan Zhang’s home kitchen and continues to perfect wholesome desserts centered on Asian flavors—red bean, taro, durian, and pork floss—using organic dairy and eggs and fresh fruit; the shop’s glassed-in kitchen produces light-as-air chiffon cakes and delicate mochi wrapped around fresh fruit and cream, and the friendly cafe consistently yields new, not-too-sweet treats (the highest compliment)." - Candice Woo
"Refreshingly not-too-sweet, this already-popular new dessert shop, which does brisk business in custom cakes features a menu that includes fluffy chiffon cakes flavored with matcha and salted caramel, tender-skinned snowball mochi filled with fruit and cream, and a can’t-miss taro mochi cake that has a delightful texture." - Helen I.
