Kaisu Bakehouse, a marshmallow-based dessert concept known for Asian-inspired flavors, is preparing to host a series of pop-ups across San Diego.
The concept was founded by Katarina Su, who relocated to San Diego at the end of 2025 after running a dumpling pop-up in Atlanta, according to San Diego Magazine. Su brought Kaisu Bakehouse with her after the move and has since been working with local businesses to introduce the brand through pop-up events. Confirmed appearances include a Valentine’s Day pop-up at Kendra Scott at Fashion Valley and a March pop-up at Easy Does It coffee shop, with the exact date still to be announced. Customers can expect a rotating selection of marshmallow treats inspired by nostalgic snacks.
Kaisu Bakehouse specializes in marshmallow treats similar to Rice Krispies treats, featuring Asian and Asian inspired flavors. The menu reflects Su’s background and interest in blending familiar childhood sweets with ingredients such as black sesame, White Rabbit candy, strawberry Pocky, mango sticky rice, and matcha. Matcha, strawberry, and s’mores have become consistent best sellers. The treats are known for their colorful presentation and rotating flavor lineup.
In addition to pop-ups, customers can order Kaisu Bakehouse products directly through the brand’s website. Flavor releases and availability are announced through Instagram and TikTok, where Su shares updates on monthly offerings and upcoming events. This model allows the business to remain flexible while building a local following. Pop-ups also allow customers to try new flavors in person.
Current flavors include matcha strawberry, black sesame, cookies and cream, Biscoff, cake batter, s’mores, and fruity rainbow. Past flavors such as red bean matcha, White Rabbit, peanut butter miso, strawberry Pocky, and taro are often available for custom orders. As Su continues to collaborate with local shops, pop-ups are the primary channel for introducing Kaisu Bakehouse to the San Diego market.
