Sweet Bites Bakery & Brunch
2100 San Pablo Ave, Berkeley, CA
Crema's Take
“This Berkeley bakery-brunch spot has earned genuine affection from regulars and first-timers alike, with a owner who brings real warmth and skill to every custom cake and thoughtfully prepared dish. The space itself feels intentionally designed for lingering—whether you're celebrating a milestone with a playfully creative cake (they'll actually build you a door if your toddler requests it) or settling in for a leisurely breakfast with family and friends. It's the kind of place where attention to detail shows in everything from pastry moistness to service presentation, making it feel less like a casual spot and more like discovering someone's personal labor of love.”

Sweet Bites made the most amazing cake for our two year-old daughter’s birthday. Our toddler loves opening and closing doors so we asked them to make a door cake and this is how it turned out. Absolutely stunning! And delicious!
I needed a birthday cake last minute and I’m so glad I came here! They were very kind and recommended the lemon and blueberry cake. Moist and flavorful, it was a real crowd-pleaser! They wrote a beautiful custom note on top and even included a candle. Very reasonably priced too! I highly recommend 👍🎉🎂
While on vacation from Alaska my family and I came to Sweet Bites and it was phenomenal! I was not expecting the service and presentation to be so on point. The attention to detail was amazing. Definitely the best place we have been to during our entire trip. We will be back! Thank you.
A Hidden Gem in Berkeley! I discovered this amazing coffee shop about five months ago, and it has quickly become one of my favorites! Last week, I brought my family along, and everyone loved it—from my girlfriend to my 14-month-old baby, who enjoyed the food just as much as we did. I was thoroughly impressed with the customer service provided by the owner and her daughters. They were warm and welcoming, making our visit even more enjoyable. The food and pastries are absolutely delicious! The quality of the ingredients really shines through, and everything we tried was bursting with flavor. The café is also very clean and well-kept, which adds to the overall pleasant experience. They offer a fantastic variety of breakfast and lunch options, as well as mimosas, which is a lovely touch! To the owner (whose name I can’t recall), keep doing what you’re doing! This place is truly excellent, and I can't wait to come back. Highly recommend! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
This place is so cute inside! And the owner is super talented as well as warm and welcoming. I came because a client asked me to take photos and a PTA acquaintance told me he loves it AND I am always on the hunt for places to source pastries for our monthly coffee mingle chats at my kiddo’s nearby elementary school. These cakes are intricate, beautiful, and the menu looks amazing! I ordered a steak salad and a chicken salad to go. Everything has options as far as dairy based dressing or not. Amanda brings 18 years of managerial experience to her own business and I’m so thrilled that she’s come to the neighborhood.
