University Heights Custom Cakes, Cupcakes & Fresh Sourdough
University Heights is one of San Diego's most walkable and community-minded neighborhoods, a place where residents know their baristas by name and weekend mornings are spent at eclectic coffee shops before strolling to Trolley Barn Park. Auntie Lu's Bakery embodies that same neighborhood warmth. We have baked custom cakes for intimate birthday dinners at restaurants along Adams Avenue, provided cake pops for community gatherings at Trolley Barn Park, and delivered sourdough to the compact bungalows and Craftsman homes that give University Heights its character. Our proximity to Hillcrest and North Park means we serve a community that values creativity, inclusivity, and genuine quality.
About University Heights
University Heights is a compact, urban neighborhood perched on the mesa above Mission Valley, named for the long-gone San Diego College of Letters that once occupied the area. Trolley Barn Park, built on the site of a former streetcar barn, is the neighborhood's beloved gathering space, hosting movie nights, community events, and weekend picnics under its distinctive wooden pergola. Adams Avenue runs along the neighborhood's northern edge, connecting University Heights to Normal Heights and Kensington with a corridor of walkable restaurants, coffee shops, and local businesses. The neighborhood's proximity to both Hillcrest and North Park gives residents access to some of the best dining and nightlife in San Diego without losing University Heights' quieter, more residential character. The San Diego Unified School District offices are located here, adding a civic anchor to this eclectic, walkable community.

“We live in one of the little Craftsman bungalows on Park Boulevard and threw a birthday dinner in our tiny backyard. Auntie Lu made a perfect six-inch lemon cake with edible flowers that was absolutely gorgeous on our little cafe table. She understands that University Heights celebrations are intimate and personal, not oversized.”— Jamie R., University Heights
