Cafe 88 — Restaurant in San Diego

Had the pleasure of meeting the owner, Fadi, on my first visit. What an awesome guy! He's very level headed and seems committed to his business. He said they've been trying to open for over a year and is just as excited as the customers that the construction finally finished.

On entry, the cleanliness and bright look of the restaurant really starts things off on a high note. The menus are straightforward, the displays are beautiful, and it gives the exact vibe you're looking for from a dessert place. Even the music was fun and happy!

As for the food, I ordered their Happy Bowl with an Acai base and it was incredible. The price is much cheaper than somewhere like Everbowl and the taste is twice as good. He told me the chocolate chips they use are legit Belgian chocolate and I believe him. They look way different and definitely taste better too.

I really wanted to try the desserts so I got a sushi roll along with a classic crepe. They were both AMAZING!

The sushi roll instantly jumped to one of my top 10 desserts. They were warm, with a banana in the center, the chocolate was perfectly melty. The powdered topping varieties gave each bite a new experience. I think the outside was the crepe dough and was delicious.

The crepe was equally tasty. The softness and warmth of the dough brings everything together. The classic crepe blends the fruits inside with the Nutella and dough perfectly. I didn't try any of the fancier crepes but if the classic is the foundation for the rest then I can only imagine how good they are

Side note: I got one of the viral crunchy pastry desserts to try at home later and it definitely lives up the hype. The blueberry one is their most popular and I highly...

Cafe 88 in Linda Vista is seriously one of my new favorite spots. Their desserts are on point, but what really keeps me coming back are the drinks. The peanut butter latte and the banana latte are honestly next level — I didn’t even know a banana latte could be this good. And if you’re into matcha, you have to try the strawberry matcha. It’s crazy good, super smooth, and just different in the best way.

The whole vibe of the place is amazing too. Chill atmosphere, good energy, and it just feels like a spot you want to hang out at, whether you’re with friends or just posted up with a coffee.

If you haven’t been yet, do yourself a favor and check it out. Cafe...

Delicious! The dessert is fresh and tastes great, the owner is friendly and accommodating, and there's a variety of things to choose from.

We stumbled upon this place on Google maps while trying to find a dessert place on the way home. I'm glad this popped up.

We got the Oreo Belgian waffle, which the owner was nice enough to slightly modify, and the banana pudding, which was exactly what you'd want from a banana pudding. The desserts we saw others order looked good too.

Overall, great experience. Would definitely go back to try other things and...
