I'm originally from SF and when I first saw that there was a place to get my favorite ice cream I couldn't pass up on it. I love taking my parents to get their favorite flavors of ice cream without having to go far!! They have an amazing selection of treats from amazing drinks, to dessert like candied grapes and pineapples, mini pancakes, Dubai strawberries and ice cream hands down they have it all!! Will always continue to take my friends and family members to try the deliciousness that this shop has to offer!!!

I've been on a support local business kick and after reading about Destenny's in a couple of local…read morewrite ups, I kept her in mind. I was contemplating a sundae. I'm currently boycotting that national pink and brown chain with the number of flavors for some extraordinarily rude service in the neighboring town. I had currently supported a local ice cream shop over in El Portal and was satisfied. I didn't want to go that far so I remembered Destenny's which is near where I live. Quaint small shop. Kudos for re-imagining a small space for a local business. Not many flavors but a good quality product in Mitchell's. The lady was very nice in making my split. She went out of her way to accommodate my need to transport my split in a container. My only issue is the split and a Red Bull came to $20 (plus apparently $1.50 for using a card). I didn't trip and immediately paid it. Now the split was awesome. But I got home and was like waiminute...$20?? The split from the other local place was $9 plus tax. The chain woulda been $7 plus. Was the split $15 and the Red Bull $5? Was the split $10 and the Red Bull $10. Ironically, I was contemplating going to Safeway and getting the fixings myself but ultimately decided naw, I don't need to spend that much, plus remember, we're supporting local. I got a loyalty card and I DID like the product. Maybe I'll try again and get a price point before I order

They have one kiosk for you to order drinks. We ordered an ube latte, strawberry matcha, and fried calamari. Drinks and food were super yummy! Although, food was great, we did not have a pleasant experience with their service. We waited almost 30 minutes for the calamari. We asked and she replied rudely. A few minutes later, she threw a tantrum walking out the work station and basically threw the food on the table. No words exchanged at all and went back to the work area. Not sure if she was having a bad day but that should not be a reason to treat customers like this.

My baby really enjoyed her Oreo ice cream, and my partner said his tasted just like a bowl of cereal! It was around $30 for the three of us, which felt a little pricey , but the service was immaculate. Overall, I'd definitely come back especially to try their boba teas!

I came across Sugar Empire's booth at the Orinda Farmer's Market last weekend. I was drawn in by…read morethe viral Dubai chocolate sign, but they also sell a lot of other cookies in fun flavors. I had been wanting to try the Dubai chocolate for awhile, but couldn't find it at any local shops and was hesitant to purchase online. The bar was quite large at 8 oz. and topped with a beautiful dusting of gold powder. The chocolate had a nice snap and the pistachio butter and phyllo filling was absolutely delicious - crispy, creamy, and not overly sweet. I initially thought the price was a bit steep at $25, but considering the size, quality, and taste after trying it, I would buy it again. They only had milk chocolate available at the time and were sold out of the dark chocolate, which is my favorite, so I'll be looking out for that dark chocolate bar next time!

This is a cool, modern, bakery with all the types of pastries you could imagine. Want a slice of cake? They got it. Want something savory? They got it. Want some cookies? They got it. Want fresh coffee or a chai latte? They got it. The folks ordering in front of me seemed to be regulars, and I went with what they got which was an eclair (soo good) and some mango mouse cake thing which was divine. I overheard folks in line mention ordering online for an event, so you can order ahead of time on the website for cakes. I recommend this place. Heads up, not a ton of seating indoors...BUT it's a lovely neighborhood to walk up and down, and there's some seating, just not a ton. Parking is paid, but you may be lucky and snag a neighborhood curve.

They came out fairly quickly and boy were they worth the wait. My mango sticky rice was light and its size made me think I'd be absolutely full after consuming it all. But it totally didn't. I loved all the extra so I had something with every bite. My hubby said the coffee was strong and robust (he had a latte) The croffle was chewy and crispy, the fruit was sweet and ripe. The cream was nice and sweet. He said it was easy to eat. Would definitely make the trip over the bridge to visit again.

We all got the Thai tea crepe cake and it was so good. Definitely lived up to the hype. I also got the Thai tea, which was really good too. What made it even better was that one of my friends had secretly asked the staff if they could just bring our slices out with birthday candles, but they ended up going all out. They had the staff singing and played birthday music through the speakers. It was hilarious, unexpected, and honestly really sweet. It's a little pricey, but worth it for both the quality and the experience. There's plenty of indoor seating, the whole place has a really cool vibe inside, and we had such a great time. Definitely will be coming back :)

Was put onto Starbread Bakery and the famous senorita bread by my partner years ago and recently…read moregot some while we were in San Pablo. There are a few places across the Bay Area that serve senorita bread but this place has been the one that consistently is the best value and quality that we have been to thus far. This bakery is a pretty small place, really only meant for ordering a good number of pastries to-go. We got 20 for around $16 (which hurts a bit considering it was a good amount cheaper just 3-4 years ago) and they came piping hot. The senorita bread is a perfect mix of buttery and fluffy, and better yet, is great even after being in the refrigerator as it can easily be heated back up at a later time. Love this place and is the place to go for our favorite Filipino pastry.

Not only were these soggy, but we were cheated. We ordered 40 pieces (2 boxes of 20) for $32. When we got home to split them up for our relatives, we found there were only 16 in each box!!! Safe to say we'll never be coming back to this location. Make sure you count how many pieces they give you!

It didn't taste quite like banana pudding but definitely banana flavor. The edges were slightly crispy while the middle was buttery and chewy. Impressive and maybe worth it as a once-in-awhile-treat. It's $3ish per cookie which beats Crumbl in both quality and pricing. They have a few unique flavors (i.e. 7up, peach cobbler, etc.) which I understand rotate on a monthly basis. My sweet clients were really happy when they saw the box which was the cherry on top. Glad I can check off this Yelp bookmark and that they have several locations in my territory! I got lucky this time with street parking right outside.
