We love talking to him every time my bf and I want to get a sweet treat! What makes Rice Culture a lot better than other taiyaki places is their ability to make them fresh and hot and their incorporation of different and new flavors. I appreciate that they do try to update their menu based on customer feedback. Their ube custard taiyaki are ube sweet, carb-y ingots. They are best freshly made though it takes about 15-20 minutes to make (good things are worth the wait). Solid location to get a sweet treat after a Costco trip or lunch.

They came quicker than expected (about four or five days maybe) and tasted as if they were just taken out of the oven. The service and efficiency was 10/10. Carson also covers all the bases by providing a detailed list of ingredients on his website so you know what is going in your order. On the cookies themselves, they were the best I have ever had. Soft and chewy, they offered the ideal consistency that one looks for. The pumpkin flavor was not overpowering and the chocolate chips were subtle but noticeable. The recipe is perfect. The joy and creativity that Carson exhibits on his social media is reflected in his cooking. I look forward to ordering more from him in the future and encourage you to do the same.

We arrived to a location which was seemed like it was not meant to really be a storefront which is fine. Unfortunately for us though, they did not have all the items in our order because they had taken them to the farmers market. It is a bit frustrating that my cousin ordered ahead and half of our order was not there because it was taken to be sold elsewhere. We named up just getting the mooncakes and a corn pastry. The moo cakes left something to be desired. The flavors were not strong so I couldn't tell which mooncake was what flavor. The corn pastry was quite good. The crust was flaky and the custard was creamy and delicious. I did enjoy the corn pastry but my experience was a logistical nightmare and unfortunately I don't think my cousin got her money back.

Among the baked goods I sampled were some intriguing flavors with quality, but some items were a bit dry, leading to croissants that were just a bit too flaky to be practical. Preordering for either this retail location or for various farmers markets is an option, and that may yield a more interesting selection. Still, I think it's reasonable to want to just buy some high-quality Asian baked goods, and when I compare this to the experience at the top places in the area, I don't know why I needed to come here.

Each cookie had a super strong presence of their flavors - nothing "light" or "subtle" or "hints of". They pack a powerful punch which I found delightful. The cookies are moist and soft and apparently gluten free (they use almond flour)!

Do you like Cookies, Cakes and Rolls? Maybe cinnamon rolls? Challah bread? Anything that involves…read morebaking and carbs? Then run, Don't walk. Ok, maybe walk, because if you're like me and exist on a diet of chocolate chip cookies from Alana, there isn't much running involved. But that's not the point. The point is there is a new player in town in the home-based bakery division. Curly's Café. Producer of some of the finest baked things this side of the Mississippi. What's that? You're gluten intolerant? You can't have sugar? You're a vegan and can't have butter and milk? Just like that friend in a MLM trying to recruit you to sell tire polish, I've got an answer for every reason you can't buy here. She did the ole "Folgers Switch" (Are any of you old enough to remember these commercials from the early 80's where snooty restaurants served folgers coffee to their patrons and then edited it to make it look like they enjoyed that crap) on me and gave me some gluten free cookies instead of my usual 900 calorie per bite cookies, and I couldn't tell the difference. Zero. They tasted like real cookies. They were so good, I gave one to the spirit of John Wayne, who immediately stopped berating me for eating anything other than traditional 1950's baked in butter and lard cuisine, and converted to the first church of gluten intolerance. And if you know the Duke, he doesn't just endorse any old product that's willing to pay for his chemo. Nope, he personally tests the cigarettes and whisky he'll appear with, so getting him to say that her allergy friendly cookies are the fat schniznits (John wayne was a rapper in the early 90's), is a huge, huge endorsement for Curly's Café. But don't worry, not all her cookies and cakes are vegan and gluten friendly. If you're like the other 80% of America and are looking forward to treating your body like a roman temple being sacked by the vandals and visigoths (Interesting note, many of the Germanic tribes that wiped out Rome occasionally, had names that we now associate with ruining or looting society) Alana is fully willing to give you both barrels full of carbs, wheat, and butter, and then reload. These things are packed so dense with flavor that they actually bend time and space around them. You can actually see the event horizon around your box of cookies That's why she can only make them 12 at a time. Any more, and they'd achieve critical mass and collapse into themselves and create a singularity that would result in your own star floating around in your kitchen. So stick with 12 and leave the nuclear fusion to the engineers at MIT.
