Babycakes San Diego

Delicious desserts and more

About

Hillcrest's beloved bakery-cafe moved to Paradise Hills for a bigger space, but kept the same cream-filled cupcakes and full bar. The Sunday 'Church' brings indoor/outdoor happy hour festivities with a touch of gluten-free options. With two patios and strong drinks, it's a local hangout that's still worth the trip.

“Best desserts in Hillcrest”

Extremely welcoming. They host a Sunday event called Church. The cupcakes and desserts are excellent.

“Anthing anytime”

From elaborate cupcakes (including gluten-free options) to pozole to a fruity cocktail to a delicious salad, Babycakes offers a wide variety. Everything is very tasty too.

Over a year ago. I only go on Super Sundays because it has plenty of attractive people and strong drinks. There are two nice patios and the bartenders are awesome. You really cannot go wrong, though I still have not tried the cupcakes.

“Champagne and Cupcakes”

Babycakes has excellent baked goods, decent breakfast and lunch items, and some good bar food, but it works best as a bar where food is secondary. The recent Sunday afternoon Church event is a perfect example of indoor/outdoor happy hour festivities with a touch of cupcakes. Other times are less crowded, but even then, Babycakes has built upon the loyal following of the less glamorous place that was there before. A smaller satellite at the Morley Field tennis courts had plans to move all the way down to Imperial Beach in 2014.

“Nice cupcakes”

I usually do not like cupcakes, but these were good. The location is convenient and the service was very friendly.
