This is a cool, modern, bakery with all the types of pastries you could imagine. Want a slice of cake? They got it. Want something savory? They got it. Want some cookies? They got it.

The folks ordering in front of me seemed to be regulars, and I went with what they got which was an eclair (soo good) and some mango mouse cake thing which was divine. I overheard folks in line mention ordering online for an event, so you can order ahead of time on the website for cakes. I recommend this place. Heads up, not a ton of seating indoors...BUT it's a lovely neighborhood to walk up and down, and there's some seating, just not a ton. Parking is paid, but you may be lucky and snag a neighborhood curve.

They have one kiosk for you to order drinks. We ordered an ube latte, strawberry matcha, and fried calamari. Drinks and food were super yummy! Although, food was great, we did not have a pleasant experience with their service. We waited almost 30 minutes for the calamari. We asked and she replied rudely. A few minutes later, she threw a tantrum walking out the work station and basically threw the food on the table. No words exchanged at all and went back to the work area. Not sure if she was having a bad day but that should not be a reason to treat customers like this.

I usually come here to pick up snacks, and it's become a favorite for my little one, they absolutely love the Meiji chocolate, and this is the closest place where I can reliably find it. Even though the store is on the smaller side, it should meet your daily needs. You'll find essentials like dairy and fresh fruit, along with more specialty items like miso paste and a variety of Japanese seasonings. It's compact, but thoughtfully organized, and has most things you will need without feeling overwhelming.

Most recent visit I got the mint chip and coffee flavors. I appreciate that both flavors pack a punch, and taste authentic as compared to artificially flavored store bought ice cream. They serve a honey lavender flavor almost year round that is incredible. My personal favorite is the marzipan flavor served during the holidays. They don't skimp on the quality and intensity of flavor. This last visit I also asked if they would give me a single bite of vanilla ice cream on a disposable spoon for my dog, and they kindly obliged. Wonderful local spot that always brings smiles :)

The young worker was so patient & helpful with recommendations that it made the whole experience that more enjoyable. Out of the 2 samples I tried, I ended with the Meyer Lemon.

Without sampling the Meyer Lemon bc the worker recommended this, I just chose it. The Meyer Lemon was refreshing & had a creamy texture. It was perfect with the fresh waffle cone.

I've reached that point where overly sugary donuts just feel like too much, and these hit a nice balance. They're still satisfying, just without that overwhelming sugar rush that leaves you regretting it halfway through. They also offer a lunch special that's pretty hard to beat for the price, a burger, fries, and a drink all bundled together. It's nothing fancy or over-the-top--just straightforward, classic comfort food done right. Sometimes that's exactly what you want, and they deliver on that without trying to reinvent anything.

My wife and I used to live just across the street and we'd start out mornings by strolling over and enjoying some freshly made donuts. The husband and wife owners were always so friendly and welcoming too! It's been 10+ years since we moved away but I was in the neighborhood yesterday and decided to visit the old spot. Lots of changes in the plaza and surrounding area, but Donut Time has persevered. I walked in and the glorious display of donuts was same as it ever was! This time, I was greeted by a very cool young gal and she was chatty and patient while I figured out what I wanted. I got my wife a chocolate raised and chocolate twist. And I chose my favorite maple bar and maple filled. Btw one of the reasons why Donut Time is the best is that they don't skimp on the frosting like some unnamed local spots. I would've taken pics but we kinda scarfed em down already.

There are a few places across the Bay Area that serve senorita bread but this place has been the one that consistently is the best value and quality that we have been to thus far. This bakery is a pretty small place, really only meant for ordering a good number of pastries to-go. We got 20 for around $16 (which hurts a bit considering it was a good amount cheaper just 3-4 years ago) and they came piping hot. The senorita bread is a perfect mix of buttery and fluffy, and better yet, is great even after being in the refrigerator as it can easily be heated back up at a later time. Love this place and is the place to go for our favorite Filipino pastry.

Safe to say we'll never be coming back to this location. Make sure you count how many pieces they give you!
