I was very pleasantly surprised that there was no drop-off in the quality of their food that you sometimes find when restaurants open additional outlets. The service is awesome. Each employee is helpful and accommodating. They add to the experience. While it doesn't have the same old-school ambience of the Ybor location, it is pleasant and it has dine-in seating. We don't have to wait to get home to enjoy the food.

I originally wanted to try the black sesame chocolate croissant but the person taking care of me said they were the first to sell out, so next time I'll be coming right when they open. The associates taking care of me were kind and patient. Ube Smores Cinnamon Roll: 3/5 This cinnamon roll was HUGE and HEAVY. I must say that it tasted pretty darn good. The frosting wasn't too sweet, the bread was soft and you can tell it proofed perfectly. I also like how the brown sugar was a bit crunchy! The only thing that didn't hit for me was that it didn't taste like ube or smores ones bit. It was purple and beautiful but I didn't get the nutty taste of ube. Then they had a toasted marshmallow on top but I couldn't taste any other marshmallow flavor in the roll. They also had a biscoff cookie instead of a graham cracker which was fine but it was not giving ube, marshmallow or graham cracker. For a normal cinnamon roll it was great though. Crème brûlée donut: 3/5 The crunchy exterior was top tier and done very well. The caramel could have been cooked a little longer to get that amber color along with the warmer taste I was looking for. The bread of of the donut was okay. A little denser than I thought it would be and the cream wasn't sweet enough despite the vanilla beans I saw in there. Strawberry Shortcake Cookie: 2/5 The base cookie is really good. Soft and gigantic, but the elements making it strawberry shortcake were just too sweet for me and the cookie itself was undercooked and the white chocolate was way too sweet. I did like the outside coating of the strawberry shortcake was pretty good! Overall it was a good experience but if it looks sweet just know it really is.

I finally got the chance to try Ngot Baked Goods at Naga Tea in Valrico. I'd heard about their…read moredelicious pastries through my friend, Rachel M. Well, they just happened to be dropping off a few of their popular items at both Naga Tea locations on Valentine's Day. How perfect was that? The Valrico location is practically around the corner from where I live. They couldn't have timed it any better. I was all in. I wanted to try them all. Everything looked absolutely delicious. I ended up getting the ube s'mores cookie and the ube milk bread cinnamon roll. There were instructions on how to warm up the roll. It heated up perfectly in the microwave. The ube milk bread was the star of this cinnamon roll. Actually, I loved every ingredient. The ube cinnamon swirls were gooey & buttery inside. The glaze on top was sweet, but not too overpowering. It was way better than a Cinnabon cinnamon roll. I'd totally it again. The ube s'mores cookie was just as amazing. I had it for breakfast the following day. Don't judge me. LOL! This cookie was topped with a toasted marshmallow. It reminded me of the s'mores brownies from my favorite Ubelicious mail order bakery. I was kicking myself for not getting the London Fog cookie made with Earl Grey tea. I'm hoping there is a next time. I'm also hoping that I can one day try their cube croissants and cruffins. Please continue to deliver pastries to Naga Tea, or to more places across the Bay. What a great partnership that would be! There's nothing better than a freshly pulled espresso boba with one of these delicious croissant creations. It was a great Valentine's Day treat.

One with the two chefs that are behind a Chef & The Baker who also took on the one and only Bobby Flay and WON! The glass was to teach us how to make their signature empandas, which was the menu itme that took Booby down BUT, they weren't giving away all their secrets. We had to pick up specific items from them and make the rest at home following their direction. Their brick and motar location seemed to be back and forth on being open from what I had read for a while but finally I was able to be in the area when I saw it was open and I raced to check it out personally. For a bakery, I got there late and when shops are normally closing up. The items were limited and the staff was extremely friendly andd then both owners walked in and greeted everyone! I did geek out a little and stop them to ask for a photo and say that I had been following their success since I took their glass. It was great to find out that they were down to earth and willing to talk to their patrons. Looking forward to more things from them but I am not sure they can impress Ben more than their dipping sauce for their empanadas, which she gave me some extra of and I have frozen for the next time we make them!!
