One of the best little bakery and brunch places I've ever been to. I travel a lot and have eaten at many little cafes like this and none have come close to the quality of food and customer service I've gotten here!
I've been here multiple times, I've tried nearly everything on the menu and all that I've tried has tasty fresh and delicious!
The pastries and coffee are really good as well.
I was here in September of 2024 and while eating here I putting it to go order. I left without grabbing my to go order from the counter and when I came back in December they remembered an assisted that I receive they remake the order for me back from September lol. I definitely wasn't worried about it but it goes to show you how family run businesses compared to big franchises.
I love this place and will stop by anytime I'm in town!

They did an amazing job putting together a custom birthday burn away cake! The bakery was very communicative throughout the whole process and delivered a product that everyone loved. I highly recommend them for any custom birthday cake!

This place is amazing! From the staff to the food 😋 very welcoming and it feels like home here. They have a different variety with the menu. Pull apart French toast to fried chicken 🍗. The cakes are beautiful, and the pies are awesome as well.
I had a skillet with bacon 🥓 and cheese 🧀 and my husband had the avocado toast, and it was great! We will be back for sure ♥️

Small family owned business and everything is made to order, fresh daily. The lady that runs the front is super sweet and friendly and her mother is the cook who makes all the delicious meals. My husband and I have tried about 75% of their menu (not including desserts and baked goods) and everything has always been delicious! Highly recommend!

We love this bakery! They have a really nice variety of bakery. Everything is made fresh and uses quality ingredients. The desserts are wonderful and are not overly sweet. They also serve great coffee. This is a women owned family business. The service was super friendly.

The best cake shop in East Bay and one of two best dessert shops in the Bay Area.

My Background:
I run a restaurant and am very selective in the food I consume including sugar lol. I am very picky about ingredients and ratios and cook food from scratch.
I don’t like too much sugar added to cakes and desserts.
Desserts need to seduce your tongue and expose flavors that makes you wanting more without a heavy feeling of a sugar high.
I rarely give reviews unlike local guides who either highly rate every place (easy to impress) they visit or provide low ratings most of the time (probably their personality).

Sweet Bites team:
Kiara, her Mom (the master chef) and daughter are fantastic and sweet. Their place has been designed and decorated by Kiara who is also a Mural artist and a really good one. There are so many little personal touches in their joint which makes it special.

My experience:
I’m from NY, and I love Bruno bakery. One of my favorite cakes is Favori mousse cake, made out of hazelnut and chocolate.

I had my wife’s birthday yesterday and requested Kiara and her mom to make me a cake similar to that with very short notice. While the taste was not the same, their cake is in a league of their own!
It was perfectly balanced, we could taste all the nuances and flavors.
They also went above and beyond as I had requested them to make another cake for my 2 kids (dogosapiens) who cannot eat chocolate and wanted it to be sugar free with no harmful chemicals. I ate some of that cake too as it was just that good. Flavors of strawberry and vanilla melted in my mouth.

Overall, my wife, mom, my kids and I enjoyed the cakes and would recommend folks who visit Berkeley or live here to try them out.
The pics don’t do justice to the cakes we enjoyed.

Cheers
