A go to place for a dessert after lunch or a birthday cake for loved ones! Especially enjoy the Elby and strawberry shortcake, there’s texture, right amount of sweetness, and the freshness from the cream and fruits. Preorder in advance for round cakes, you will feel the warmth and delicacy the owner put into each cake!
Love this bakery, all the cakes are delicious. My favorites are the Elby, strawberry shortcake and the fruit tart. Friendly owner, but it seems it’s usually just him running the shop. Will rarely be able to get him on the phone if you call. All cakes need to be ordered days in advanced!
Desserts are fantastic! Great balance of sweetness and flavor. If you want a cake, you need to order 2+ days in advance.
This place has the most amazing fruit tart ever. I am not a fruit tart kind of person but here, it is made to perfection. When I fly home to see family and friends, I have so many requests for the fruit tart and have to fly it back home for everyone. Every single person I have given a tart to, loves it so much.
Their carmel mousse is amazing as well. It's lighter and bittersweet.
If you like a sweeter dessert, the Elby is very popular.
This place has truly amazing handmade French style cakes.

2 days ago, I pre-ordered a slice of each cake flavor and just picked up today! I knew how fast the cakes sell so I wanted to order ahead.
Every slice was such an experience, my favorites are the caramel mousse, Japanese cheesecake, fruit tart, and tiramisu. The owner definitely has fine dining pastry experience; the flavors and textures marry so well. I suggest you pre-order at least 2 days in advance to guarantee you get what you want. You might be able to get away with pre-ordering the day before.
I was thankful he had my slices packaged already in the fridge b/c there was a line, and I'd hate to make him feel rushed or keep anyone else waiting. Also peep the dry ice he includes, and this photo was taken 1 hr later b/c I had to do other errands.
I love the quaint ambiance with classical music in the background. Would be a great study place if it weren't for the pandemic.
Please support this small business established since 1995, especially during these hard times.So many great businesses were forced to close down; I hope to continue to support this one :)
Simply the best cake, the Elby. Favorite cake place of 15+ years.
Best espresso I've ever had and the cakes? Definitely worth a try Sage French Cake & Coffee

I've been coming here for probably ten years now? The owner is soft spoken and polite, clean space. Best espresso I've ever had and the cakes? Definitely worth a try. Seiji-san blends French pastry techniques with Japanese flavors and the result is extraordinary. Never too sweet and always presented with such a refreshing feeling. The Elby is starting to become harder and harder to find but you can special order slices and entire cakes well ahead of time. Tiramisu, cheesecake, tarts, strawberry cake, you've gotta try them all! Please support this business, the owner has clearly dedicated his life to his craft! 💖
I love Sage! Sage has been in the Convoy area for a very long time. If you like chocolate, get the Elby! It's delicious!
I love Sage Cake. I always come here whenever I want a pick me up.
The Strawberry short cake never disappoints me. There is always a nice variation of cakes each time I go.
There isn't a huge selection, but I think it is because they pay very close attention to details. Plus each of them taste great.
When you buy your cake in a take out box, they sometimes add a few pieces of dry ice. I've never seen a pastry shop do that. Your cake is the perfect temperature by the time you get home.
The shop is small, and you can sometimes see the owner baking in the back. This is my favorite cake shop in San Diego. Their cakes have the perfect amount of sweetness. Compared to Extroidinary desserts where I have to take a few sips of water after each bite.
