The cakes are so yummy! And the staff is extremely friendly! I especially loved the durian cake and the durian panna cotta, while my son loved the mango panna cotta. Definitely will be ordering again! read more

This was my first time ever coming to this local bakery and as I walked up, I was surprised it was closed around lunchtime on a Saturday afternoon. Just then a police officer walked by, so I decided to ask him if he knew the stores hours, since he was in the office next door.... He didn't try the bakery before, but guessed the owner was probably out on lunch and didn't post anything. So I went to check out 3 Bee's instead, since they have Gluten Free items and they're a couple blocks away. (S my review on that place too!) hee Anyways, I parked my car here at this garage, so I'd be back and man was I ever glad I came back! The bakery was closed for lunch and the barista working behind the counter was so sweet and friendly! I wish I could've stomached another coffee, but I was full from the last coffee yet this place was known for its cakes and pastries! So I bought a slice of the Hojicha and it was so soft and pillow-like! I also loved the chocolate croissant. The flaky-ness of the pastry was perfect and there wasn't too much chocolate per croissant either. There wasn't much for a sitting area, but the shop was really cute inside. I got my items to go and enjoyed them later that evening. I'll be back! Hee. read more

This was my first time trying this cake shop. Layered cakes like these seem to be getting more and more popular in the U.S. I've tried Lady M before, and I felt that most of their flavors, except for the green tea one, were a bit on the sweet side. The two cakes I ordered here were actually quite light and not overly sweet, and the flavors were also pretty unique. They also offer special seasonal flavors for certain holidays, which is a nice touch. Overall, I think it's a pretty good place to try! 第一次嘗試這家蛋糕店，這種分層式的蛋糕感覺在美國越來越多，我之前吃過Lady M，感覺他們除了綠茶以外，口味都偏甜。這家的蛋糕其實我點的這兩款都挺清淡的，口味也很特殊，加上在某些特定的節日，店家還會推出應景的不同口味蛋糕，感覺挺不錯的。 read more

Wow! I had been hearing about advertising regarding their Durian layered crepe cake, and my friends and I tried it and were very impressed with the flavor. We arrived late and hot the last slice and felt lucky. Service was excellent, and there is a parking garage nearby. Ambiance is an establishment set to for takeout: no seating. read more

Anton - Musang King Durian Crepe Cake Slice - Desserts Near Me - San Mateo, California

I've come to this place on many occasions and I have to say it never disappoints. Anton stands out with its Crepe cakes but the other desserts are delicious too. When you walk in, there is always someone there to greet you and inform you of the new crepe cakes available and what they have in stock. So far, I've tried the Hokkaido Milk Crepe Cake, the Matcha Crepe Cake, Tiramisu Crepe Cake, the Pistachio Crepe Cake, the matcha tart and the mango panna cotta. My favorites are the Hokkaido Milk Crepe Cake and the Pistachio Crepe Cake. All of the cakes are not too sweet and have great balance. It's so good that you don't even realize that it's done. If you're feeling adventurous, give the Panna Cotta a try. It won't disappoint! Overall, one of the best crepe cakes I've had on the West Coast. read more

Ordered a biscoff crepe cake (holiday special) for my boyfriend's birthday. The online ordering was easy and there was a discount during the holiday season. Pickup was at the San Mateo location, which is right by the caltrain station. Its a super small storefront for carryout only. They have a kitchen but most of the cakes are made at other locations and brought over for pickup. Unfortunately we were not super impressed by the biscoff crepe cake. While the design was cute and the crepes were thin, there wasnt enough biscoff creme (only about 1 layer for every 4-5 layers of plain vanilla creme) for the flavor to really come through. For a special holiday flavor like this, we expected a stronger biscoff flavor. If theres a special again, we'd be willing to give another flavor a try! read more

This is an over due review. Ordered the Hokkaido milk crepe cake for the holiday party and it was such a hit. Everyone enjoyed every single bite of their slice. Soft and creamy yet not overly sweet. The 8in is more than enough for 4 ppl. I ordered it online the day before and picking up the as easy and on time. The guy at the shop was pleasant and informative. He suggested to eat within 2 hours or keep it in fridge and consumed within 24 hour. The shop was small, so more like for pickups. Plenty of parking as the shop is attached to the parking structure. Highly recommended read more

The hokkaido milk crepe cake is so good! I wish they had some seating, but it was convenient to order and pick up.

Located across the street from the San Mateo Caltrain Station is this small bakery. Even though Anton is known for their crepe cakes, the Matcha Marron Tart ($11.00) caught my eye. +Most matcha baked goods are mild in flavor, but this tart was packed with matcha! It was covered in matcha crumbles and filled with a matcha mousse that was strong and not too sweet. +Crust was crunchy even though it was eaten hours later. +Topped with edible sugar daisies which made it look like a field of flowers -There were 2 whole chestnuts inside the tart. Personally, I would've preferred a marron mousse instead. Side notes: 1.) Sign up with your phone # to earn points *Verdict: 4.5 stars rounded up to 5 d/t service. It was a one-man show, and the employee who was helping me was super friendly! He was very enthusiastic and knowledgeable about the items in the case. read more

Really love their crepe cakes, especially the Hokkaido Milk Crepe cake. I've also really enjoyed their other pastries too such as scones, tart, and panna cotta. Really everything I tried is yum. Not great on the wallet or my waist size, but you also have to live :) read more

Was in town and wanted to get some yummy dessert we walked by Anton and the cakes were beautiful. We ended up buy two cakes. The Hokkaido milk was definitely my favorite of the two but both cakes were delicious. The service was amazing. He was friendly and so informative about the different flavors. The store is small and there is no sitting area but it was clean and inviting. read more

It can be a little pricy for cake but they are well made. Though the amount of flavors offered are less than what you'll find at Lady M, I actually prefer Anton over them. Black sesame is my go to flavor and it's to die for! read more

Was in downtown San Mateo picking up my usual Yifang tea and have walked by Anton many times. This time I had time to stop in and try some of the pastries (almond, chocolate, kouign amann, ham & cheese). Enjoyed them all, and the came packaged in a beautiful bag. Lots of high quality here in a compact storefront, and prices for the pastries were actually fairly reasonable compared to other places. Service was very friendly, and interior was bright and welcoming. I plan to come back and try the mille crepe cake (hmm when is the next birthday in the family?). read more

Dropped by on a weekday to check it out. They offer a few discounts if you purchase more than one item. I have never heard of Anton, but I have had Lady M before. I thought the matcha crepe cake had good matcha flavor and was not too sweet, but it was noticeably not as creamy as what I remember having at Lady M. It is beautifully crafted and a picture of perfection. Service was really helpful. Friendly and informative, not pushy. The store is really small, so it's more like a pick up kiosk. It's a bit on the pricey side, so I'd probably come here to pick up picture perfect desserts for a special occasion, as opposed to a casual snack break. They wrapped out items in a lovely box with a big ribbon. If they improve the ambiance, I could see that justifying some higher prices. read more

Anton - Matcha crepe and matcha tart - Desserts Near Me - San Mateo, California

Stopped by for fun on a weekend afternoon because my partner and I were in the area and wanted to check it out! It is a very cute little store with a very kind staff member, but there is no seating inside - just display case and ordering counter. We usually do not eat crepe cakes but we opted for the Hokkaido milk slice as it was their bestselling flavor. It was good! Beautiful (both the slice and the packaging of the slice), light, moist, and not too sweet! The slice is on the smaller side though and the price hurt a bit ($12)... It was absolutely lovely to try - and I would love to sample the other flavors - but I live far from here so I will probably not be making the journey back~~ read more

Ugh, okay, this is what my husband would call a "hot take." I don't have a ton of experience with crepe cakes - I've had Lady M a few times, but Anton was another name that'd popped up over and over again and I just never had the opportunity to check them out... until this past weekend because I was in San Mateo and Anton has made its new home in San Mateo. I was excited. I told myself to not over eat, but I couldn't resist getting a slice of their black sesame crepe cake to share and because they were still relatively new to the area, there was a small Christmas discount so I saved a couple dollars from my cake. When I tell you I was shooked at the size of the slice - it almost hurt me a little bit to share it with my husband. You can definitely taste the black sesame in the crepe cake, there's no denying it, but I didn't like the texture the cake left in my mouth afterwards and the cost of one slice being almost $12 is really hard to justify in my opinion. Service was fine - the sales associate that assisted me this day was efficient and packed up my cake slice quickly. read more

Anton - Black Sesame Crpes - 1 Slice - Desserts Near Me - San Mateo, California

The Hokkaido milk crepe cake is good. The cream is like a sweetened condensed milk that is not too sweet. The rest of the cakes and pastries are just okay (1 star off). I got a black sesame crepe cake and it tasted very similar to ones from the frozen aisle at Ranch 99. The cream puffs taste as you would expect. My biggest gripe is their price-to-size ratio. A slice of cake is $12 and tiiiny. I finished it in three bites -- not a good value. read more

Finally get to try Anton! I bookmarked their SJ location for a long time but never got a chance. So glad they opened in San Mateo! We tried the Best seller - Hokkaido milk , Must Try- Chocolate Tart and the monthly special- Tres Leche Mille crepe. I'm usually not a crepe cake person! But I still want to try different places to see if one day I would love crepe cakes. And I think I've found the place that changed my view on crepe cakes!! Anton's crepe cakes are so soft and not dry! The crepe and cream blend well together. It's the best crepe cake I've ever had! Tres Leche was sweeter than Hokkaido, so I prefer Tres Leche more. But both are good! The Chocolate Tart was so rich! It's definitely a must try for chocolate lover like me!! The service was great too! I wish I live closer so I can come often to try different flavors! read more

I've known Anton since before they had a physical location(s) and tbh initially I preferred Lady M over Anton because Lady M feels creamier and tastier at that time. That was also before Laday M came to NorCal so I had to bring back from NYC or LA. I got email notification that Anton opened a physical store in San Mateo earlier this month and for my birthday I decided to try Anton again. I ordered the Holiday Special Chocolate Cake and picked up on my birthday. I was actually blown away by how good it tasted. I actually prefer Anton over Lady M now because I like that it's less sweet and less creamy because it allowed me to taste the multiple layers better than being overwhelmed by the cream between the layers. I think I'll go Anton going forward. Of course the price is high even with a discount and the cake is not super big but I think it's perfect because you don't want to eat the cake in multiple settings. It's much better to finish one cake at a time and I like the sizing. Overall it's the go to place for millicrapes in the Bay Area. The service is good when picking up the cake. The location is small though so don't expect to eat a cake there. This used to be where Tong Sui was before they moved so it's right next to the Caltrain station and the parking structure. read more

After a disappointing experience with a different bakery, I was happy to hear that Anton just opened another location right by me. I've only had Anton once many, many years ago and couldn't remember if I liked it or not. Thankfully, past me wrote a review for the SJ location and I was able to reference that to jog my memory (I've always said that I write reviews for myself, and it has come in handy so many times!). It's their grand opening month as they opened just a couple weeks ago, so they're offering 20% off your purchase. PLUS, if you sign up for their loyalty program, you also get a complimentary mango panna cotta (valued at $8). I opted for a slice of the Hokkaido milk and the hojicha ($12 each original price, $9.60 with discount). The Hokkadio milk has little crunchy balls embedded within the delicate layers, so it adds a different texture. I liked this one more than the hojicha (tbh, I don't really remember the latter, so it must have not been very memorable). Slices are on the smaller side though, so it's quite pricey. Definitely take advantage of this 20% off promo while you can if you want to try any goods! The workers are very kind and patient. There's a self-order option or you can order at the register. It's a pretty small storefront though. I think it's where Tong Sui was previously located? The packaging is also gorgeous! They wrapped up my box with a gold ribbon and it really elevated the luxe factor. read more

The location of this is right across from the train station in San Mateo. The storefront is a small space and when I came a line quickly formed. Be courteous and know that you may have to wait outside if the space gets too full. The store is pristine and pretty inside. The guy who is manning the cashier was nice and very informative. Since it was my first time, he recommended their most popular flavors--matcha and the tiramisu. Then I got the tres leche one since it was seasonal and pistachio because my family and me love the flavor usually. At the time, if you join the loyalty program you get a free mango panna cotta with your order. I am not sure if this is still the case. The sign outside will be able to inform you. The slices end up being beautifully wrapped and if you want the bag, it is an extra 25 cents. But I feel like it's worth it if you're gifting the cake to someone. The bag is very aesthetically pleasing. The matcha flavor has too bitter for my taste. The matcha was too concentrated, but give it a try if you are a matcha lover. It may be your cup of tea. The tiramisu is very heavy on the espresso flavor. Be warned. It was a delicious flavor and if you usually like tiramisu, this is the cake for you. The tres leche cake was surprisingly very sweet. The tart berries were a welcome touch to counteract the sweetness. I expected it to be a lighter taste, but definitely not what I was expecting. The pistachio did end up being our family favorite. The flavors were not too sweet. The lightness I was looking for was in this slice of cake. Hope to get it again in the future. There are many promos that go on (join their loyalty program to be informed thru email) so take advantage of them if you are in the area. It is definitely worth a try. If you want to gift someone for an occasion like an anniversary or maybe a birthday. Keep in mind, it is $12 a slice so save them for a special occasion or if you want to treat yourself. read more

We visited on a Saturday and tried the tres leches and Hokkaido milk cakes. Both were on the sweeter side, noticeably more so than Lady M's cakes and with less cream. The tres leches was especially sweet (but tres leches is usually pretty sweet!). The Hokkaido milk was our favorite, with a distinct, creamy flavor. It was much softer and creamier, which gave it a different mouthfeel and a slightly less intense sweetness. In contrast, the tres leches had a denser texture, with a thinner layer of cream relative to the crepe layers. I could see how it was reminiscent of tres leches not only in flavor but texture as well. For the best experience, I'd suggest keeping these in the fridge within 30 minutes to an hour and enjoying them chilled. We walked around and had lunch before trying the cakes, and although it was a cool autumn day (in the 60s), the Hokkaido one started to melt a bit. Still tasted great, though! read more

Was excited for the new opening. Went on Sunday afternoon last weekend for soft opening discount. I ordered online, 2 pistachio Mille crepe slices, 1 black sesame Mille crepe slice, 1 tiramisu Mille crepe slice and 1 Hokkaido Mike mille crepe slice. I have note one of the pistachio slice will need to be in it's own box, which they did take care of it. When I first walk in to the store to pick up, employees were busy cleaning, it has a very strong unpleasant smell of cleaning chemicals smell. My friend with younger child has to step out the store, as we were waiting for the cake and other customers are coming in, so I was sure why need to do deep cleaning at store hours? If I didn't order and paid ahead I would've leave as I open the door. The slices I opened all 4 favors and share with my family and none of them can tell the favor for pistachio. It has no taste and very sad. And my friend who got the other slice has the same comment no taste. Tiramisu once we open we can smell the alcohol but no taste of chocolate and coffee, just tasted alcohol. Black sesame except it's black and has small seeds also not much taste to it. Hokkaido Milk was the best out of the four is has a bit of chocolate crispy balls in it and can taste the cream is a little different. Overall not a good experience for me. read more

Love this place. Their desserts are very delicate and amazing. We recently tried some of their other items such as the ham and swiss croissants, and they were very tasty for breakfast. We've tasted their panna cotta and all of their slices of crepe cakes - my favorites are black sesame and Biscoff. Going to try the mango this weekend read more

I knew this crepe cake when they used to supply for Mokutanya and I think I remembered like 5 years ago, it was charged close to $15. Now they have it on their on location close to us than San Jose and ordering to go : Black Sesame slice and mango mousse. Mango mousse is not too sweet and or sour, I love it! Same as the Black Sesame - quality was good . However for a place in Burlingame and /or San Mateo with growing crepe patisserie cake styles like U - Dessert Story and Sweet Glory - they might have to offer bigger slices for competitiveness . BTW, the bag is nice too for $0.25. read more

I've never tried Anton before so we wanted to give it a try. I saw on social media that they are having a 20% off discount for their soft opening. We ordered online and selected the day/time for pickup. We added to cart a bag to hold everything. We ordered Fruit Tart Tiramisu Mille Crepe cake slice Matcha Marron Tart Hokkaido Milk Mille Crepe cake slice salted caramel macaron hojicha crepe maki roll Staff greeted when walked in. Our order wasn't ready yet, they had to pack it. Inside looked clean. I liked the Hokkaido Milk Mille Crepe cake slice the best it was soft, light and a bit rich. The small crunchy chocolate puffs inside of the Hokkaido Milk was a nice touch. My next favorite was the matcha marron tart, love that rich matcha taste. The salted caramel macaron and fruit tart tasted alright like standard. The tiramisu Mille crepe cake slice tasted alright. My least favorite was the hojicha maki crepe roll it had a strong flavor, just the texture wasn't for me. read more
