Amidst all the sugar loaded, cream drenched, artificially flavored cakes, Eku Eku truly stands out. It's a genuine, home-style bakery where the cakes are naturally flavored, feel light, yet so rich! Their unique recipes, made with real ingredients, set them apart and you never experience that cloying effect typical of store-bought cakes. Their consistency in quality is remarkable, as they take limited orders and deliver perfection every single time. Eku Eku is a blessing for cake lovers in the Bay Area!

Vanilla bean (5/5);I think everything place should have vanilla bean instead of the just plain vanilla. The bean adds this great sensible flavor to a rather bland vanilla.

Now when you go in, everything feels so cozy. The staff is also very friendly and always keen on giving you ice cream to sample. I got a small ice cream cookie sandwich with ginger molasses, which was very gingery and very flavorful. Decided to pair it with strawberry and cream ice cream from Marianne's in Santa Cruz. Ice cream was delicious as always actually tasted of fruit and not of fake flavorings.

I filled out the form on their website a couple of weeks before my husband birthday, and noticed that their prices had increased recently. The regular 6" black sesame blueberry hojicha cost $55. Megan responded in email within 2 days as expected. Her payment instructions were very clear, and we agreed to meet at their designated community park at 10am on Sunday. (They would also do delivery with an additional cost.) An hour before our meeting time, she sent a text with the make/model/color of their car, as well as, some dessert care instructions. They arrived on time. The cake was carefully packaged and included a "Happy Birthday" paper topper. The cake was really good. It was fresh and airy; the black sesame taste really stood out; the blueberry jam was delicious and not too sweet; the hojicha fresh cream was light and flavorful. While we all really enjoyed the cake, it's very pricey, and it's a 20-min drive from home to pick it up at one of the two time choices.

We were headed out for an early dinner next door, and Deux Cranes was still open. Yes!! It's a very small chocolate boutique store. Everything is made in-house in small batches. They have very unique flavors and offerings. We were warmly greeted by the shop employee. She was very sweet and helpful. We were looking for something with dark chocolate. She showed us a few unique dark chocolate bars paired with unique flavors. One bar had miso-coated almonds in it, and the other had Earl Grey with Seri-Uchi lemon. We decided to get one of each. There were also two different flavors of fruit jellies. The raspberry one looked good. I'll have to go back and get that next time. The young lady helping us mentioned they have different flavors of the jellies every week. I love that. They also had beautiful boxes of chelates that were so beautifully decorated and had different fillings and flavors in them. These chocolates would make a nice and unique gift for any chocolate lover. Even though the inside of the store was small, they had a nice variety of chocolates, cookies, and jellies nicely displayed. I will definitely be back for the raspberry jellies. We tried both varieties that we purchased. We loved both of them. The miso almond dark chocolate bar has a savory and sweet flavor. It was delicious. The Earl Grey with Seri-Uchi lemon dark chocolate bar was slightly sweeter than the other one with a subtle citrus flavor. I would definitely buy these flavors again. They were both excellent.

I'd heard of Deux Cranes but always assumed they were in downtown Los Gatos. I was surprised and…read morepleased to discover the chocolate shop next door to the restaurant I was meeting a friend at for lunch in a shopping center off Union. I'd read on Yelp they have amazing chocolate so I knew I was in for a treat. The shop is small but elegant, with clean, minimalist displays. Their offerings include chocolate bars, bon bons, rocher, caramels, cookies, and more. I asked if they have my favorite, dark chocolate covered almonds, and was handed a large bar beautifully packaged in a dark green box. The box said the almonds were roasted with white miso, making it savory and umami-filled. I said I'd take it. I also purchased a small bag of dark chocolate crispy marshmallow rocher. The chocolate was, of course, delicious. I can't quite explain the taste of the almond bar, but it is the type of chocolate you eat a small piece of at a time in order to savor the flavor. (This is in contrast to my usual method of quickly gobbling it up). The rocher is a little bitter, but scrumptious with crispy puffed rice. Deux Cranes chocolates and confections would make the perfect gift or served as dessert after a special meal. I'm looking forward to patronizing the shop again in the future.

This is a small business run by 2 owners who are incredibly kind and welcoming. They feature new flavors every month, and since they just hit their one year anniversary this month, they are giving out a free birthday cookie with every order (delicious btw)! FLAVORS: I tried the Ube Dulcey, Red Velvet, Chocolate Chip, and Earl Grey. My absolute favorite has to be the Ube Dulcey because it has the perfect balance of a crisp exterior and a soft, moist center. It's really outstanding! The Earl Grey was a thinner cookie with a really pleasant floral fragrance and a great texture that was both crispy and chewy. I love that there's always something new to look forward to with their monthly rotations. I can't wait to come back and see what other creative flavors they come up with next!

One thing I love is that they rotate their menu every month, so there is always something new to look forward to. They also offer two styles of cookies: the classic thinner cookies that are perfect for dunking in milk, and their signature thick, stuffed cookies. I went with the White Matcha and Ube Dulcey, and both easily exceeded my expectations. Neither was overly sweet, which I really appreciated, and the fillings were incredibly generous without feeling overwhelming. Every bite was rich, balanced, and surprisingly satisfying. They are definitely on the pricier side, but the quality and creativity make them worth trying at least once. I am so glad I discovered this hidden gem. A solid 4/5 from someone who is usually not a cookie fan.

But don't let the humble appearance mislead you. This place is incredible. I don't know what their secret ingredient is, but my guess is love. I've been several times over the years and previously have had brittle and the small fruit hand pies. This time around I got a peach hand pie and decided to try a savory hand pie. There are so many incredible flavors to choose from, but I was in a meat and potatoes kind of mood and got the steak and stout. Imagine a gourmet pot pie. I put it in the air fryer for about 8 minutes, and that would be my recommendation to warm and crisp it up once you get it home. The steak was tender and plentiful, the potatoes were cooked perfectly and had a little crisp to each bite, and the buttery crust is flakey, tender, and flavorful. It was one of the best dinners I've had in a while. I was too excited to eat it so all I can share is a picture of the peach one, which I already know will be another delicious treat!

Berry pies have no other competitor - this is THE place to get them!…read more As mystical as a dragon is, this place has eluded me but I have finally stumbled across this little bakery. Sweetdragon, a frequent visitor of the local farmers markets in the San Mateo but also sells their wares through local cafes and shops, hosts this tiny shack primarily used for their bakes and window pickups seemingly in the middle of nowhere part of the city. Best to be reserved ahead of time but also offered on the spot orders assuming they have them in stock, the pies, galettes and brittles here are exceptionally crafted with the local community in mind. A lot of their ingredients are locally sourced so you'll know their treats are fresh and sustainable. When visiting this spot on Lincoln Avenue, pull up and park in the spots near the shop and once you've decided what you're planning to order or if you're here to pick up, press the button found near the window or table and the staff will greet you through the window. Pick up is quick unless you're like us and decided to order more after we arrived. We primarily came for their pies and galettes but upon visiting, we have discovered their brittles are also something to consider trying. But among their pies, their sweet berry pies contain the juiciest fruit I've had in pies and their savory double crusted pies are hearty and delicious. Black cherry hand pie/galette - bought this on a whim being a huge cherry fan. The fruits were bursting with flavor and the crispy crust was a fantastic complement to the jammy texture of the filling. Cherry galette - a bit more tart than its black cherry variant but still just as juicy! Despite its size, I felt like I could have eaten it all like one of their hand pies; not too filling but just indulgent enough for you to still want more after one or two slices. Triple berry galette - a wonderful medley of berries infusing their flavors and textures into each bite. Probably one of the most fun and delicious mixed berry pies I've eaten ever. Just writing about it now already has my stomach rumbling. Steak and stout double crust - don't sleep on this crust - it's the real deal and in addition to being crispy and buttery, that last few bites where the two crusts meet will stuff you up. The steak in this pie was meaty and flavorful, the veggies were soft and cooked perfectly, and the solid to liquid ratio was a clear example of their exceptional execution. For those looking to stock up for meals later, these pies stayed intact and tasty extremely well for at least a week and their posted reheating instructions were faultless. Based on this initial experience, there's no doubt that multiple pie orders are in store for future visits. Overall, if you're a fan of pies, you NEED to make a visit to Sweetdragon, find them at one of the local farmers markets, or pick up an order from one of their partners. The quality of the ingredients, flavors, and craft in constructing these sweet and savory dishes are reasons enough for you to take the plunge and experience it for yourself. You haven't experienced a true berry pie until you've had a taste of the dragon.
