I am not sure if I am going to blow the cover on this place as a well-hidden local gem, but it was…read morean unexpected find for me, and I felt a need to let others know. I was looking for a good baguette in my neighborhood for a while. But as simple as a baguette may seem, making a tasty one is an art. I was running some errands when I suddenly felt pekish. I saw on Yelp that there was an "authentic French bakery" nearby and decided, "Why not?" Originally, I was thinking of getting a quiche, but as I got into the store, I decided to switch to an avocado egg sandwich. I am sure quiche is good, but I was impressed by the sandwich. It came on the plate with very fresh salad greens. Greens there fresh and sauce tangy, just what one needs to cut through the richness of avocado and egg. I think I had an entire Avacado cut on it. The avocado itself was just right. But the star of the show, for me, was a baguette! I inhaled the entire dish and asked if they sell baguettes on their own, which they do. The bakery associate told me they just ran out, but they are baking new ones now. If I wait 10-15 minutes, I will get a freshly baked one. I could not believe my lack. They came as promises and they were great, just smell alone was to die for There are so many other things I want to try, so I'll definitely be back. Thank you guys, you all made my day!

The decor is warm and welcoming, and the atmosphere feels cozy. You order at the counter, and the staff member who helped us was kind and very helpful. We ordered quite a few things; the avocado toast with eggs was fresh and satisfying, the raspberry tea was lovely, and the L'Exotique mango mousse was absolutely delicious. Overall, a really nice spot for a casual brunch or sweet treat. I'd definitely come back!

What a gem Jackie's Sweets is! The name is perfectly fitting, not just for the yummy pastries and…read morecakes, but for the delightful staff as well. This was my second visit, and once again, everyone was incredibly patient and nice. The atmosphere is bright yet cozy, they have plenty of books and a lot of room to catch up with friends or settle in for some work. This time around, we tried the Coco Cloud Matcha. If you enjoy fun and funky beverages, this is a must; it's a blend of coconut water and matcha that somehow tastes sweet and milky while remaining both rich and refreshing. I'm not sure how they pull it off, but I'm obsessed! If you prefer a more traditional option, the Strawberry Matcha is a decadent choice, I love that you can actually taste the fresh strawberry compote. We also had the Tres Leches Coffee, which featured a perfect balance of creaminess and bold espresso notes. We ordered it hot this time, and while I personally find it ideal iced, it's wonderful that it works so well both ways. For treats, we chose the Dulce de Leche cake. While the sponge wasn't quite as moist as I expected, the overall flavor was superb, especially with the addition of the meringue. To balance the sweetness with something salty, we added a savory spinach and feta pastry. Definitely ask for it to be heated for the best experience!Not pictured, but equally noteworthy, were the empanadas. They offer both beef and chicken, served with a delicious green cilantro sauce. Whether you need a quick caffeine stop or a productive place to get some work done, Jackie's Sweets is the place to be!

The place isn't big but they do have a couple of tables. I've only tried their beef empanadas and chocolate croissant and they were both so delicious! The beef empanada is shredded beef and not ground beef which I really appreciated. They also give you a sauce for the empanada and that's also really good! They also have breakfast and lunch options which I'm sure I'll try another time. And everyone who works there are very friendly and helpful! I highly recommend this place.

We only tried the Gelato and I don't have words to express my satisfaction having found an authentic gelato almost close to what we had in Italy . Wr got a mix and match of Pistachio & hazelnut flavor. Creamy rich loaded with pistachio goodness and delicate hazelnut flavor making it a wickedly divine duo They also have coffee and affogato and gelato croissant sandwich that I saw couple others having . That's going to be my pick next time ! The girl at the counter was very sweet . While she was not Italian herself she was well versed in all things in the shop. Service can be slow as she manages solo so be prepared to wait a bit . Secondly , there is not much room inside as it's narrow with three 2 seaters high stools But given all this , anyone who has tasted and loves the real deal Italian gelato must try it here .

I first heard of this place through Instagram and since pink is my favorite color, I knew I wanted…read morewanted to go here. It's located in a strip mall with tons of parking available. The don't accept reservations, but you can put your name on the waitlist queue and they will text you a few minutes before to let you know that their table is available. I'd avoid going here on Valentine's Day as it was impossible to get off that waitlist! I've gone in the evening but their brunch menu is definitely better. Service is great and you can scan the QR code for their menu. For brunch, they have a lot of options from crêpes to omelettes. This place is not a BYOB but they have plenty of non-alcoholic drinks and mocktails on the menu. Decor is modern, airy, and of course - pink! They also have a separate café and pastry counter if you're just stopping in and want something quicker instead of sitting down. On our most recent visit, I had the Dubai chocolate pistachio crêpe, and it was really delicious, not too sweet or too rich. And I also had the strawberry Matcha, which I enjoyed. I think this is a great spot for a weekend date, girls brunch, or just an every day indulgence. Looking forward to my next visit.

I opted for the pink pistachio chai, which despite its visual appearance it was sort of mild in flavor. I didn't taste the chai spices that I love. The French toast was very lightly dipped so it wasn't "custardy", so again I was missing the French toast flavor. And 2 pieces for $16 means $8 a slice, which was so not worth it. The beef bacon was good. I loved the presentations of the food, it just didn't quite deliver on execution.
