    My boyfriend and I were walking around the plaza and came across Cake Boutique. I went in and spoke with Menakshi, and I found that many of the desserts were made-to-order. I could;ve gone for some donuts but didn't have the luxury of waiting for them since she needed some lead time to make them. I didn't place an order then, but Menakshi left such a great impression on me that I came back a few days later. From our in-person conversation I learned that she a genuine, passionate baker who was dedicated to her craft. A few days later I called her business number, and she advised that I could place my order directly by texting that number. I sent her the products, quantities and expectation of when I should arrive. She confirmed my order and told me the total price. I was able to free up some time, so I was able to pick up the desserts sooner than later. I contacted Menakshi and asked if I could swing by earlier, and she said that the desserts were ready for me to pickup. Perfect! My entire interaction with Menakshi via text was super easy, and I appreciated her quick responses. The desserts were excellent. I tried my very best to spread out the desserts over a span of a couple of days, but I ate almost everything as my lunch after I picked them up. These were my purchases and my review on each one: - Oatmeal chocolate chip cookies I'm not particularly a fan of crunchy cookies (I prefer soft and chewy cookies), but these were addicting. They almost didn't make it home, because once I popped the fun didn't stop. The cookies were dense and loaded with big chocolate chips. - Donuts The donuts were baked and made with more of a cake batter. The glaze on the chai donut was sweet and very cinnamon-y. The gulab jamun had a light cardamom flavor and a really nice rose glaze on top with some pistachios and edible petals. - Shooters I was the most excited about the shooters, because I've never tried Indian desserts before. I figured that I'd get a small sample of each, but the shooters were way bigger than I expected! Way to get my money's worth. I got shooters of Rasmalai, Mango Kalakand and Paan Gulkand, and I loved each one. If I had to choose my favorite, Rasmalai would be it. That custardy clotted cream was everything! The Mango Kalakand kind of reminded of a mango cheesecake. Lo and behold it's traditionally made with paneer. Lastly, paan gulkand tasted like nothing I've had before - very unique flavor palate. It had floral rose notes from the gulkand with an underlying coconut flavor. I liked how there were some crunchy bits inside this shooter that added a different texture.

    Wow is all I can say. No, I didn't not buy a cake here nor do I ever plan to. Menakshi was rude in her reply to me via email and I was appalled. Yes, it's hard to read a tone via email but still, wow. First impression are everything. I was reaching out to a bunch of nearby bakeries to get quotes on a gender reveal ombré cake. I got a quote here while other bakeries broke down the pricing for me and told me things like "if you want just blue or pink inside, it would be $10, if you want it to be different shades of blue of pink cake it would be $40." Knowing that the ombré shade might be why the quote was higher, I asked how much would it be if I just did the single color. The owner's response was rude and really rubbed me the wrong way. She apologized quickly after but the damage had already been done. I've reached out to many bakeries and no one had replied back in such a curt questioning manner as the owner of this bakery did. I told her I don't ever plan on being a customer and I probably never will because my first impression was left sour.

    Ordered my husband's birthday cake here and must say the design and flavor turned out great! He loved it. My husband is a graphic designer and also is obsessed with memes, so this was absolutely perfect (see pic). I sent a pic of the meme to Menakshi and she executed! In retrospect, I should have asked her to put a white square underneath the cat to complete the look of the meme but that's partially my fault and not totally a big deal. Some of the lettering/font was inconsistent, but I'm aware she does it by hand so I wasn't expecting exact comic sans font. However, this inconsistency detail actually added to the meme in my opinion. One of the cat's ears fell off before it was time to present, so just wishing that was a little more secure. We resecured it with icing as you can see lol. Other than that, the cake was ultra moist and delicious. He opted for the guava cake with vanilla buttercream. Very reminiscent of a tres leches cake the way the guava cake was soaked. So good. Before committing to the full cake I bought 4 cupcakes to see which flavor we'd go with. All the cupcakes we tried were soft and yummy also! She also accommodated a date change; it was my fault that I gave her the wrong date by 2 days, but she was still able to accommodate me for pickup. Definitely wouldn't mind coming back for future custom cakes!

    She made this amazing two tier cake .

    Meenakshi made this beautiful tinkerbell theme cake for my daughter. We prefer eggless., and she nailed it.

    We saw this cake place online for our little one turned out to be one of best purchases we made. From right to left - rasmalai cupcake, gulab jamun cup cake and paan cup cake. All three were delicious and out of the world taste ! Cant wait to buy from here again !!!

    The best cake around!

    We ordered my son's bday cake here. The entire process was seamless .The cake looked beautiful and tasted amazing! We were scraping off the last bits As a cake lover, this place is 5 stars!!

    My granddaughters 1st birthday. But let me start from 2022. Twins, born a bit early, so the cake and cupcakes for the baby shower never happened. Menakshi from Cake Boutique held on to my deposit for 1 year with no issues! That alone was wonderful. Fast forward a year later to their 1st birthday and I connected my daughter in law with Cake Boutique and they hit it off. We used the deposit from last year and we ended up with: 2 smash cakes for their actual birthday 2 smash cakes for their party 2 tiered BEAUTIFUL cake for the party 40 cupcakes for the party *nothing left and everyone enjoyed it....PRICELESS! Thank you so much Menakshi EVERYTHING was perfect! See you again for the next party.

    The cake was sooo beautiful and very yummy. Not too sweet and really nice sponge. The design was so cool. Everyone loved it. Communication was great and she helped me with design. Pickup was flexible and easy. 100% happy! Will definitely order again.

    As anticipated after our first experience, we have been regulars at Cake Boutique and have trusted Meenakshi with making all our occasions special and sweet! She has delivered amazing and delicious creations each times! I love that I can discuss any ideas with her and she helps make them into reality. End product is always delicious and pretty!! Sharing some photos.

    I submitted an inquiry the night before and received a response within a couple hours! Next morning I called the bakery to confirm, and they were thorough with my request and what I wanted. The cake was ready in a very timely manner day-of, and they let me know when I can come and pick it up. Super communicative and the cake tasted really good! My co-workers absolutely loved it.

    Michelle N.

    I came into the shop and showed Menakshi an inspo pic I found on Pinterest. She made sure that I kept in mind that the cake wouldn't be exactly the same, but when I picked up the cake, I was blown away! The cake 100% met my expectations! I also ordered cake pops and they turned out great. Pricing for both cake + cake pops were totally reasonable!

    Cake we ordered was not as we expected, when cake was delivered it was lopsided, has missing decor, plus found a hair in cake.

Not only does it get really busy after work hours, many parking spots are reserved for other businesses. It's also usually crowded inside, making snagging a seat a bit hard. It's a popular spot, and I can see why--the menu features many different bingsoo options alongside other desserts, and they're all very beautiful and cute. There's also free WiFi and bathroom access. I will note that they don't seem particularly diligent about cleaning up between customers. You pick your own seats, and when I finally found a table, there was food residue visible on the tabletop. Their prices are a little higher than some other spots in SJ (ranging from ~$13 to $19 pre-tax), and I don't think the quality of the bingsoo is noticeably better to justify the price. I tried a pricier one (the premium strawberry), and found it to be quite good, but not $20 good. Plus, some aspects seem designed more for pictures than for eating. The little cheesecake slice is a bit hard because it's cold and difficult to eat with the shaved ice. That said, their bingsoo does taste good! The fruit tasted fresh and sweet, and the portion was enough for me to share with my partner. I wish the condensed milk was provided on the side instead of already poured on top, but I didn't mind the amount they gave. I may not be back immediately in the future, but I wouldn't mind visiting again. I would probably stick to the lower-priced options myself, though. If you visit, do keep in mind that it's usually really busy--your order probably will take a minute, and whether that's worth it or not is up to you.

They give you the option to put double matcha (for the honey matcha latte) which is a plus! The double shot of matcha and the honey pairs really well together. It has the perfect amount of sweetness and a perfect amount of matcha to make it taste rich without being bitter. The strawberry matcha latte has strawberry puree and strawberry bits which makes it taste really sweet. It's a really good contrast of flavors and an overall solid strawberry matcha latte. They also updated the self-ordering kiosk with 2 instead of one now, so there's barely any lines now compared to when they first opened. The drinks are a lot quicker so you don't have to wait too long. There's also no seats inside but there's plenty of waiting space on the outside patio! Overall I would highly recommend this place for matcha lovers. Their matcha is super rich in flavor and they have a lot of options. Sometimes, they also have matcha powder in stock too!

My first experience was pretty mid because the ceremonial matcha latte was VERY strong and bitter. I couldn't finish it and it made me super jittery. After coming back a few more times though, I found a couple things I really liked. The Crème Brûlée Matcha was delicious. I finished the entire drink. You can't change the sweetness level, which is unfortunate, but their recommended sweetness actually balanced the stronger matcha really well. The ice cream is probably the best thing here. Super creamy, perfectly sweet and really well blended. I would honestly come back just for the ice cream. The strawberry matcha latte was pretty unmemorable to me, and the hojicha was also extremely bitter. Service was good. The barista was kind and helpful, which I appreciated. You order through a kiosk, so there isn't a ton of interaction overall. When I first came around their opening, there was basically no line. After they started getting more hype, the lines became longer and longer. I think it's worth trying, but personally I wouldn't wait in a huge line for it. Overall, the matcha itself tastes authentic and is prepared well, but some drinks are just too bitter for my preference. My recommendations: the ice cream or Crème Brûlée Matcha. Those were easily the standouts for me.
