    Two cookies packaged in the box (snickerdoodle and chocolate chip pecan)
    Annabelle R.

    We ordered the monster mash online in advance, pack of 4 monster cookies (a combination of chocolate chip pecan and snickerdoodle). Our quoted wait time was about 30-35 minutes. When we arrived, we weren't sure we were at the right location. The place looks like a residential home, without any identifiable decor or signage (or it was hidden behind a large bush). You pick up at the front porch, there's pacman game on the left, a QR code to order on the right, and a small buzzer/bell to ring for service or to pickup. The guy came out after I rang the bell, he was friendly and efficient in bringing out our order which was ready upon arrival, served hot and nicely packaged. Omg, these cookies were really good, we were pleasantly surprised. The snickerdoodle was quite delicious, freshly baked, nice texture, plenty of cinnamon. The chocolate chip pecan blew me away, chunky with lots of melted chocolate in every bite, and it wasn't too sweet, which made it even better. I may have a new favorite cookie, for chocolate chip flavor at least... they'll have to make other flavors like peanut butter or oatmeal to truly win me over.

    My husband and I had a late night craving for cookies! We wanted something local but decadent. We saw the stellar reviews for Bakenstein and gave it a shot. I placed my order online through a very easy process for a chocolate pecan cookie. We were given a pick up time and headed out. When we arrived we noticed it was actually a house- not a bakery but it was marked clearly. We rang the bell on the table, and we were given our cookie right away! We took our hot cookie home and it smelled divine. It was pretty big in size (see my photo with a quarter for reference). There was a ton of chocolate and pecans nestled in cookie batter. Oh and it's just excellent with milk- especially when it's warm. You can tell these are homemade. In fact, we ordered a half dozen a week later and they were phenomenal too! I highly recommend Bakenstein for all your cookie cravings!

    Located right by SCU, parking is limited and spots are few. Ordering is done online. You can also call them which is what I did since I had a price issue with ordering online. Your order does take a while though since they do make it from scratch. They do have a pacman arcade machine while you wait though. Snickerdoodle (5/5): The edges were crispy while still holding a chewy and gooey interior. It was also generously coated with a layer of cinnamon sugar. Do note they are on the sweeter side. Overall, Bakenstein is a great place to fix your sweet tooth. SCU students and nearby residents don't overlook this place! Their cookies are phenomenal aside from the unconventional hours and location.

    1 One Dozen Minion Cookies - 4 Minion White Chocolate Pecan/ 4 Minion Chocolate Chip Pecan/ 4 Minion Snickerdoodle

    These cookies were super yummy! I enjoyed the Minion Chocolate Chip cookies were my favorite. The rest of the group LOVED the Minion Snickerdoodle. Service was quick & the people were kind & courteous. We will be back!!!

    Cookie shop operating out of a house in Santa Clara. They're available on Doordash for delivery! They have a very limited selection of flavours but they were all pretty tasty. My favourite was snickerdoodle. It was pretty cinnamon-y. The cookie texture was super soft. The cookies were super warm and soft when they got delivered almost to the point of completely fresh batch of cookies and it was so yummy

    Wow, Bakenstein is amazing. My husband says it's the best cookie he's ever had, and I might have to agree! The monster cookie is a perfect size for a big dessert, and it strikes the fine balance between crunchy, soft and chocolatey. Wish I had the recipe and that they had longer hours! We've honestly been going almost twice a week since we discovered them!

    snickerdoodle, white chocolate pecan, and chocolate chip pecan after i sampled each
    Jocelyn S.

    These cookies are really solid. I can't even choose a favorite! I got them as a gift for my friends, and they all enjoyed them too. I ordered over phone/text and it was super easy. They have iMessage hahaha. I ordered a dozen with their three flavors (snickerdoodle, white chocolate pecan, chocolate chip pecan), four of each. Total was $19.99, $10 of which was due at time of booking to confirm the order. They were sweet enough to even give me a monster cookie when I picked up! They were flexible about the pickup time too, when I wanted to change it. Super appreciative of that! I'd love to order from them again.

    Ask the Community - Bakenstein

    Can I purchase a large order, 4 dozen, for a party? Hours are late, can I pick up around 2pm or do I need to order the day before?

    Thanks for the inquiry. In order for four dozen would need 24 hour advanced notice, But we can coordinate the pick up for whatever time you prefer.

    Hi. Can I walk up to your store between 8pm - 11pm and order cookies on the spot? Or do I have to order before I go there?

    Hello! Yes you can, but there may be a wait! It is advisable to order ~20-25 minutes before pickup. On occasion we are able to accommodate quick walk up orders during hours but, for best wait times, order ahead.

    Don’t See Your Question? Ask Away!

Don't sleep on the black pepper sausage danish: the croissant dough is crisp and flaky, and doesn't get soggy when baked around the sausage. It's comparable in execution to the Croissant Hot Dog served at Dominique Ansel Las Vegas (in Caesar's Palace), but at a way more accessible price point. Which isn't to say this place is cheap; like many artisanal bakeries in California, it comes with a premium price tag, but at least it's not Dominique Ansel pricy. Croissante's croissant dough baked goods (viennoiserie) is pun-intended "proof" that you get what you pay for. The dining space is limited and lively. Conversing is a little tough, but if you just need a place to sit while eating, it's just right. Extra special shout out this time to Dill who had informed me the fried chicken dishes today would be an hour and a half wait. After deciding there wasn't anything I wanted more than the Fried Chicken and Spiced Croffle (croissant dough baked in a waffle iron) and was happy to wait, they were nice enough to check in with the kitchen and see if it could be made sooner than that. I didn't expect to be accommodated, so I was happy they were able to do that. You get two chicken thighs and croffles per order. It's enough for two light eaters to share.

The place was situated in a quiet plaza just outside of Lawrence Expressway. There's ample parking but it doesn't feel like the location is suitable for a cafe where you can picture sitting inside looking through some big windows facing a busy pedestrian walkway. However, once I stepped inside, I was surprised at how zen and peaceful the decorations were and how fitting it was for a cozy and quiet cafe hangout. The cake shelf was surprisingly busy. And this is where I took one star out because the lines were confusing and the staff skipped me to talk to the group behind me while I was clearly the next to be helped. Luckily another staff member came out from the back kitchen and jumped in to help. The staff spoke fluent mandarin. I was interested in their box cakes. A few of the yelpers raved about their soy milk cake and luckily they had one out for sampling. It was covered with lots of cream and the cake layer was soft and moist, but it was still slightly too sweet for me and I felt that it lacked the tofu kind of soy flavor. Then, I spotted on their menu that they have a black sesame matcha box cake, and black sesame is always my favorite, so I asked for it. They had the last one left! The staff said she had never tried it so she couldn't tell me if it is less sweet than the soy milk cake. Since it was the last one available and I already sampled the soy cake, I decided to give it a try. I am happy that I did. The cake was filled with matcha mousse and tasted light and aromatic with the jasmine kind of matcha flavor. It is definitely less sweet. Unfortunately, it doesn't have as much black sesame as I'd like. But overall, the cake flavor is the kind that I like, subtle, moist, and not too sweet. $38 for a box cake of 4x4 is a bit pricey, but I'm glad that I gave it a try. The cakes were freshly made and tasted best the same day of purchase. They also recommend refrigerating the cake and consuming it within a day or two.

I kept seeing posts about whaT's More cake's persimmon cakes, so I decided to give them a try. I preordered the persimmon molten cake and the persimmon crepe cake through their website. The online ordering process was smooth, and both cakes were ready right on time for pickup. Unfortunately, the persimmon molten cake was disappointing. While I appreciated that it wasn't overly sweet, it was very mild in flavor. It tasted more like a simple sponge cake with a persimmon filling in the center, and overall, it felt quite underwhelming. In contrast, the persimmon crepe cake was much better. Each layer had persimmon cream and jam, which gave it a stronger and more pronounced persimmon flavor without being overly sweet. Overall, it's a cute cake shop worth checking out if you're looking for unique flavors in the South Bay. Parking: Plenty of parking available in the lot.

It was near 5pm. I walked in and the place was empty. The gentleman behind the counter greeted me. I asked for a strawberry smoothie, then walked around to survey all the baked goods. It's a small bakery with lots of trays of individually packaged cakes and pastries. The smell was very pleasant and comforting. Using a flat basket (or tray) I grabbed a few selections. I picked 2 "Heart Pies" that resembled my favorite French Butterfly Cookies. Also 2 pound cakes. The total rang up to just over $21. There's some small tables for enjoying your purchases there, but I took my items to go. The icy cold fruit smoothie was very good and very cold! Not too sweet, it had a natural strawberry taste. The Heart Pies were good and fresh. But the Pound Cakes were probably "day old." I noticed there's no dates or "best by" tags on the packages. It's a nice place to visit, and I will return again.

If you like surprises, are omnivore & no special diets or food allergies, Too Good To Go is the way to explore. The items were in generic packaging without labels, so take a pic of the items you like so can order when visit next time. While my family enjoyed all the items, I really enjoyed the black sesame studded puffy rolls that I think were made with rice flour. There was a large group of older Asian ladies, including one who brought their lap dog, enjoying good conversations in their native language with their baked goods and tea or coffee. Another gentleman was taking a video call to help decide the best cake to buy. Will add this bake shop for a place to have a coffee meeting and to favorite in Too Good To Go.
