    Mounds cake

    Mary is such a talented baker! I absolutely loved my gluten free, dairy free, refined sugar free Mounds cake for my birthday. It had been so many years since I had a birthday cake and this was one of the best cakes I've had. It was beautiful in presentation, easy to arrange pick-up, and Mary was lovely to work with. Highly recommend!!

    Gluten-free cookies
    Tami Q.

    Talk about falling in love with dessert! I just got some of their Halloween cookies for work, which are "hauntingly delicious." As you can see, I couldn't wait to dig in. Gluten-free and no refined sugar never tasted so good.

    Sculpted Purse Cake Chocolate cake inside

    My wife is sensitive to gluten so I sought out Amore. Mary was amazing throughout the process and helped me with the perfect birthday present. A purse Chocolate ganache cake inside was rich and delicious, and it was plenty for a party of 16. Our little niece asked for the "handle" and said it was good. Mary came up with the design and idea, and executed it perfectly. I will definitely order from Amore and Mary again

    a purple and yellow cake

    Mary with Amore Alternative Desserts made my birthday cake yesterday on very short notice and hand delivered to me! The cake was beautifully decorated and absolutely delicious. Mary really saved the day as I needed a gluten free cake without any refined sugar. This cake didn't sacrifice taste for healthy ingredients and my family really loved the zesty lemon filling. I highly recommend Amore alternative Desserts for any occasion.

    Formaggio Puffs as far as the eye can see.......
    Jae K.

    Amore Alternative Desserts.....and MORE! I have been lucky to have tried several of Mary's goodies. Here are my Fall Favorites - I will start with the "more" :) Mary now has a savory little gem - Formaggio Puffs (cheese puffs with Gruyere baked in). These are savory little morsels that are irresistible! They would be perfect for any gathering as an appetizer with drinks (or wine pairing), especially during the holidays. Next up, Apple Churros! Why have I not heard of these before? Apples + churro = Delicious. Add the fact that these are gluten free......brilliant! You would never know. These perfect bite size babies are just the right amount of sweet, not the ridiculously over sugared treats that one might think of when they think "churro". Should you have any left over, they are divine with a cup of coffee in the morning. Pumpkin Tiramisu in a Cup. I had my reservations before trying this, I am not a huge tiramisu fan. The flavor I like, but the texture of soggy lady fingers just is not my thing. This Pumpkin Tiramisu in a Cup is not like that. Nothing soggy here! Wonderful crumbles with super-silky-subtle-pumpkin-marscapone-goodness, topped with an awesome pumpkin seed brittle! I went from not being a tiramisu fan to hidding the one I bought for my hubby because I do not want to share. Mary's passion is reflected in all that she does. Amore is the perfect alternative.

That energy makes the whole place even better. The potato wedges deserve their own fan club! There is some kind of magic wizardry happening there. Crispy on the outside, fluffy like mashed potatoes on the inside, and so ridiculously good you'll probably start guarding your plate lol!! :P My favorite is the Hangout omelette. It always hits! And the French toast is dangerously good too, soft in the middle, golden on the edges, and exactly the kind of breakfast that disappears way too fast. And do not leave without ordering the ube espresso or the dirty matcha espresso. Trust me. Both are absolutely worth it! Honestly, this is one of those places that just makes you happy :D So, so good!!!!

Overall, the dishes here seem bigger than the one in Walnut Creek but I didn't order the same dishes so I can't compare . And they didn't raise price in 2 yrs so it's good. I would come back if in the area.

To start, the employee working at the cash register was super friendly and gave great suggestions on drinks and food to order based on how sweet we like things or more coffee for we may want things to be. There isn't really any indoor seating space but they did build out into the parking lot with a few picnic tables and chairs for people to stay and eat their food. While we both really enjoyed the food - both of which were recommended by the employee - the coffee was not good at all. Pro: the avocado toast that we ordered had a curried chickpea salad on top and it had a delicious flavor. That was probably my favorite bite! We also shared half order of the blueberry waffle, and it had a type of granola on top that provided some really great textures. The food certainly impressed me. Con: Both of us felt like the coffee had none of the flavor that it was supposed to have (we both ordered the cardamom maple iced latte with macadamia nut milk) and instead, it just tasted like milk. It didn't even really have a coffee forward flavor. Since this is a coffee shop that was a pretty big disappointment. Overall, we enjoyed the food and service, but would skip the coffee.

The menu might be small, but every item is executed so well, it doesn't need to be big. Also, the drinks were amazing. The house-made RumChata and Palomas were absolutely delicious. I can't wait to come back. Plus, it's a small, family-owned business, so definitely show them some love!
