Cafe 88

I live right up the road and had to come and try this cafe! I ordered the Dubai crepe and peanut butter iced latte. I’m going to tell you, you can taste the FRESHNESSS to every single bite of that’s crepe, it’s not overwhelming and you just want to keep on eating it. The latte was smooth and the espresso was delicious. Very friendly customer service the gentleman was very accommodating and appreciated the feedback. I wish you all the best success 👏🏼🤲🏼

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 recommend 👌🏼😍

Cute new little dessert spot! Owner is super friendly and makes sure to customize your order exactly to your liking. We’ve had a few things from here now but everything was super fresh and tasty! My favorite was the Belgian waffle with chocolate sauce, and perfectly ripe strawberries and bananas. It’s a hidden gem but absolutely worth checking out!

Very sweet desserts, pretty expensive for a meal but everything is extremely stylized and as delicious as you’d expect. Come for more of a bougie vibe, and don’t expect coffee moreso than a bunch of milkshakes. I’d expect at some point they’ll get more coffee options but until then, treat this more as a dessert joint than an actual cafe. Also Açaí is friggin great here, like you can get a giant bowl for 10.99

Love the duck theme and the drinks! The coffee was not too sweet and the banana matcha was perfectly creamy

Definitely coming back again, and they are not cheap by putting pistachio on their product, they do fill their desserts with pistachio , I am not talking about the price i am talking about how big the dessert is and how much they fill it up with things !! Service is amazing Super nice ppl !!!

This place is very welcoming and warm! The I ordered the ore shake and it was so creamy and smooth! The happy bowl was very yummy and packed with everything I asked for!

So excited to have a new dessert shop in the neighborhood. We had the Dubai chocolate strawberries, the banana pudding and the dessert sushi roll - all of them were so delicious. Will easily become a favorite, will be coming back frequently!

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 would recommend.

I tried their Dubai crepe and the hype smoothie. Let me tell you something, they got the best Dubai crepe in San Diego. I will definitely be to try more of their desserts.

The coconut base of the bowl was amazing! They also have really good Dubai chocolate. Very friendly and the ducks are so cute-- will be back again!

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 88 is a gem.
