"We came here by the Gaslamp location of Hinar Dessert Bar and Cafe after dinner, and I can see why this place is so popular! It’s such a cool, cozy spot to hang out, and I was surprised by how spacious the seating is. I think "Hinar" means pomegranate, which fits perfectly since so many of their desserts are fruit-based. We ordered the raspberry white chocolate cake and the chocolate cake. Both were delicious and "nicely done"—they even came decorated with a real carnation flower on top, which was a beautiful touch. The coffee game is strong here, too. I tried the Orange Blossom Latte; it was fruity, unique, and very creative. Definitely a great dessert spot with super friendly people. Highly recommend checking it out if you're downtown!"

"First time visiting. I came in literally about five minutes before closing, so they only had two cake options left: the lemon poppy seed and the black sesame strawberry. Neither flavor really appealed to me, but since those were the only choices, I decided to try the black sesame strawberry. The cake wasn’t too sweet and was definitely unique, which I can appreciate. That said, the flavor just wasn’t for me. It wasn’t bad, but it also wasn’t something I truly enjoyed or would crave again. The shop itself is nice and well put together, but the surrounding area had a lot of homeless activity, which made me a bit uncomfortable. Because of both the flavor preference and the location, I personally wouldn’t return, though I can see how someone who enjoys more adventurous or subtle dessert flavors might appreciate it."

"Came across this place while visiting San Diego and it was amazing! Ambience was great and the greenest matcha i’ve ever had from a cafe! The cake with the flower was incredibly creamy, soft, and not too sweet. It was perfect, in my opinion."

"Popular dessert destination and I can tell why! They have a variety of delicious pastries and flavorfull drinks. I do recommend sharing some of them. The larger pastries such as the cheesecakes and sweeter items such as the banana krokan are easily shareable. If you are going solo I recommend the black sesame as well as the matcha. There is a bit of a wait but it goes by fast. Staff is wonderful and offer great recommendations."

"Ordered a Banana Koffe, pistachio macaroon, and a vanilla latte with almond milk. The koffe was honestly the best thing I’ve tried so if you’re a big fan of chocolate and banana definitely try it. The vanilla latte was more of the strong side than sweet but the foam on top made up for it. The atmosphere is also very mellow and comforting if you want to read a book or catch up with any work on your laptop. The workers are also a plus with their excellent customer service."
