Such cute delicious treats! They are on the pricier side but definitely worth it. We stopped in for special celebration this weekend. The staff was very nice and the pastries were delicious. My favorite was the blueberry cheesecake bunny my friend's favorite was the orange.

Ordered some dessert from here for my daughter's two month birthday. It had an amazing presentation to it. The place has a good variety of cakes and other dessert. I really liked the chocolate cake we got from there. It tasted really good.

Food: I got a chance to try some of the pastries. I tried the Mango: sweet and white chocolate glazed shell over a mango mouse cake. This was delicious and perfect for me as it was not too sweet. I also tried the tangerine and polar bear mousse which was also very good. Service Service was great and quick. Ambiance There is plenty of places to sit with calming music playing in the background.

I've only had the Iced Strawberry Matcha Latte here & it was delicious. When I visit again I will most likely try their pastries. Cute spot

My wife stopped over quickly to get some birthday treats for a friend and brought home a few things to try as well, including tiramisu for me to try out. Great flavor, with good balance of sweet, creamy, and the coffee taste. Texture was pretty good too. I also tried a few bites of her GF chocolate cake, which was really good as well. Hope to stop by again in the future to try out other stuff!

I never had a mango mousse cake, probably never saw one in US, France, Italy, Switzerland, Japan, Hong Kong .. Came here because I was nearby today. Saw this and just had to try it because I love mangos. This is the lightest cake I've ever had, and so full of mango flavors. How is this possible? The outer layer is thin, crunchy, and delicious. Inside is the lightest mousse cake with the perfect mixture of mango filling. Every bite is perfect. It is not too sweet and is even better than eating a mango. Can this be possible? You have to try it yourself. And it's not expensive ($9.50) when you see how much work has been out into making this.

I learned something today. I was just in the area looking for a good cup of coffee and a place to sit and be for a while. This looked as good as any. While I was here I saw Hokkaido cheesecake. And I learned that the Japanese have their own cheesecake style. I'll say this about it. If you like rich, creamy, and sweet, this might not be for you. This is a little lighter. Not as dense. You could probably eat two slices of this and want more. But that's not a bad thing at all. It's a good change of pace when you don't want something heavy. Hazelnut cappuccino hit the spot too. This place is worthy of your time.

This is my first time ordering a cake from them. My daughter just graduated from college so I wanted to get a special cake for her. The ordering was done online, and payment was via Venmo. Correspondence was via texts, and the process was quite simple. If you look at their website there is a link where you can order custom made cakes, etc. I was impressed and glad they had many variety of cakes to choose from. One mistake I made was not specifying this was a graduation cake. I simply asked to them put "Congratulations". When my husband picked up the cake it came with a Happy Birthday topper Anyway, they cake came packaged beautifully. I chose strawberries with fresh cream, and it was reminiscent of the French style Japanese strawberry cake I grew up eating in Japan. I will definitely order more cakes from here!

Beautiful pastries

Some things you discover through a bit of serendipity. Easter Sunday the FDC and I went to visit the Matriarch's final resting place. We like to go early before the cemetery gets crowded as it's a special day. After, we decided to stop for bagels. Ended up at a bagel place in Narberth on Montgomery Ave. impulsively I decide to also get a croissant as they looked good. It wasn't good, and FDC says hey, let's check out A La Mousse. Sure. It's a block away. Why not? I am so glad we did. It's possibly the most immaculate bakery I've ever been in, for starters. Then, the pastries, well, look at the pictures. That's not an apple, it's pastry. Stunning. I get a chocolate croissant and a Hawaiian Lemonade Tea. FDC gets an almond croissant and pastries to go. So, a break here. FDC majored in French at university and studied at the Sorbonne in Paris for a year. This woman knows pastries. She told me to write: "This. This is magnificent French-Asian pastry, combining French ingredients with a clean, delicate, delectable flavor. Not overly sweet, nor bland. This is magnificent." I have to agree, there was a lovely balance, I didn't ever feel like I was eating a sugar bowl with those pastries (the Apple Pastry we took home was amazing). My croissant was light and well laminated with just a touch of chocolate. It was delicious. Oh and that Hawaiian lemonade tea? I crave it now. Staff were friendly, polite, fun and efficient. These are not cheap pastries, and they are worth every dime. We've already been back.

Birthday cake with "no strawberries"
Doris T.

Why come out of hibernation to post a review, you ask? Well.. this store has gotten three strikes from my family, so I want to share my experience with you to save you from disappointment. Strike 1: Our first birthday cake order from here. We picked a simple chocolate cake for hubby's birthday. He is not a fan of strawberries, so we requested the chef to make it pretty without them. For the price, the cake looked pretty lame. The chef put some chards of chocolate and a splash of some gold. But the worst part was the calligraphy of Happy Birthday. There was no elegance in that. Nevertheless, cake tasted good though, so we decided to give them another shot. Strike 2: For my 5 yo's birthday, she picked a beautiful "fairy" cake. We went to pick up the cake at 4 pm as decided only to find out that they forgot to make it. Apparently, several other people had ordered the same cake for that day, and they just missed ours. Thankfully, they agreed to delivered the cake by 6 to our house. The kids patiently waited and finally the cake arrived for the party, albeit late Strike 3: This time it is my birthday, and the family still wanted to get a chocolate mousse cake from this place despite my protests. We all picked a chocolate cream cake but requested repeatedly not to include strawberries, neither on the top nor in the middle, as per hubby's insistence. The staff made a clear note of "no strawberries" on the order slip. We went to pick up on my birthday and the person showed us the cake through a tiny window on the box under the handle. We were shocked to see the strawberries on the top, not to mention that the cake looked very different from the design we chose. No matter, we decided we could pick the berries out before we eat. There was no apology at this point. Fast forward to the evening, we cut the cake and lo!, the middle layer is lined with huge chunks of strawberries. Hubby was very upset. So we called the store to complain about this. The attendant kept us on hold for 10 minutes as he talked to the manager. When he returned to the call he asked if we were allergic to the strawberries.. the answer was no.. Phew! At least it wasn't a health hazard. But I told him that my husband really does not like strawberries and we were upset. At this point, the attendant says we have two options, 1/ a $15 gift card to the store that he will send to my phone or 2/ take the cake back and pick up another chocolate cream cake that they have ready in the store. It was very late, and we were frustrated and tired, so we agreed to take the gift card. Needless to say that I have yet to receive that text. Don't get me wrong, the cakes taste good, but for the price, their service sucks! The cashiers seem disinterested in being there and even less enthusiastic about resolving issues. Please don't rely on them to make your day special because they can't get the one job they have right most of the time.

See all

The pastries are fresh and delicious. However, they are very expensive. Our favorites are the pecan cookies.

Fresh pastries and great coffees. Service may be slow for some, but with patience it's worth the wait. Nice modern ambiance.

Delicious but expensive light desserts. Attractive and appetizing cakes and mousses with fresh light taste and definitely eye appeal.

I wanted to like this poke spot because it's a really cute place next to the train with a nice…read moreoutdoor seating area. Ultimately would not venture back out here. The poke itself was very fine. Not a lot of options in either the fish department or the toppings department. And there are up charges for a lot of ingredients I feel are typically standard, like seaweed salad. I also got a creme brûlée drink which was definitely not worth the money. It feels mom and pop which I appreciate and do feel like with some small additions to their poke options this could be a nice spot if you're in the area.

An impromptu lunch date with my partner was a good opportunity to try this renewed local spot! The…read morefolks who run the place are super nice and attentive, definitely family-run, and because of that I am going to do what I can to support this local business because we don't need another chain joint in our area. And good on them for taking a risk on Bala village where few retail businesses have been willing to invest. Similar vibe inside to when it was Trails End but they have opened up all of the internal space for dining so plenty of options to sit inside on a cold day. Lots of take-out snacks and drinks are available for trail users, including a nice selection of iced cream bars, coffee, bars, etc. On to the food. I absolutely love ramen, so honestly, I'm happy to have someplace in our neighborhood where I can get a decent bowl. Overall everything was good. Solid bowl of homemade ramen. Not at the level of places like Hiro or Terakawa, but not at all flat and the noodles were well cooked. I got it with shrimp tempura which came with 2 small but super crunchy shrimp that went well with the soup. Also, I got an order of takoyaki which actually was surprisingly yummy. Good texture and flavor came on a nice little bed of lettuce. Again, not the best takoyaki ever, but still pretty yummy. Was happy with the milk tea I got, tasted home-brewed and they got my sugar level just right. The tapioca was just ok. My spouse got a creme brulé bubble tea which was similar to mine but with a custardyness to it that I was jealous of. For a small shop run by 2 people that sells a lot of different things in a super odd location in Bala, this place surprised me with how good it was. I'm giving it 5 stars because they are new and are still building the business and getting the kinks out. I really do think this place can become awesome if people keep going and give them feedback to allow them to make it even better. I wonder if having so many options (poke, ramen, etc) is hurting them as people are used to either going to a poke place or a ramen place. Is it possible to do both types of food really well, maybe. But honestly, I think if they chose one and really nailed it, this place would take off. My vote is for ramen, but that's just because I'm not big on poke and there are already a number of sushi spots in our area. Overall, if you live in the area, and have a craving for some poke, ramen, or bubble tea. Please, support them, and help them get even better! I'm rooting for Platform Z!
