New Filipino owned coffee shop Sinta open

Sinta Bakery & Cafe is a new Filipina-owned bakery and café located at 1970 Avenida Escaya, Suite 107 in the Village of Escaya, Otay Ranch in Chula Vista. Just like beloved local spots Galu and The Coffee Machine, Sinta is already earning a loyal following after its soft opening, with the community turning out in full force to show their support.

The space is clean, charming, and filled with subtle nods to Filipino culture. Seating is available inside and out, and the café is dog-friendly. The young owner has clearly poured her heart into the business, and it shows in every detail — from the thoughtfully crafted menu to the warm, hardworking staff.

The menu is the real draw. Standout items include the Mahal Lahaina cupcake, Ube Tart, Puff Pastry, and the wildly popular Bibingka Donut — which sells out fast, often before mid-morning. On the drinks side, the Mrs. Nguyen Vietnamese coffee, Hojicha, and Matcha are already fan favorites. Sinta also takes on wedding cake orders for those with events on the horizon.

Parking is manageable with a little patience, and since the café sits beneath residential apartments, visitors are encouraged to be considerate of neighbors. As a soft-opening business still finding its footing, a little patience with the staff goes a long way, too.

Sinta is open Monday through Saturday from 8:00 AM to 2:00 PM and Sunday from 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM. A grand opening event is planned for later this summer.
This is exactly the kind of local business Chula Vista loves to rally behind. Go early, try as much as you can, and keep an eye out for that grand opening announcement.

I have lived in this great community for over 30 years. In that time I have seen so many changes both good and bad. My goal is to promote this city and all of the good that goes on here. There are so many local events, small businesses and community groups making this city even better. You can always find me at the events taking photos. This site is a passion project of mine and I want to use this platform to get the community engaged. Get out and enjoy Chula Vista and make sure to follow me on all the socials for more!
