My friend was feeling under the weather, so I wanted to send her some goodies to brighten up her day. AND BOY DID THEY DELIVER! I ordered a dozen of their popular flavored macarons and mango matcha latte because she loves fruity matchas! I would have definitely hired this business for our wedding. They make super cute, aesthetically pleasing to look at desserts and mini desserts. Go check out their website! They have so many goodies and I wish this business was here in SoCal so I could try everything! Thanks for helping me out Natalie!

I recently heard about the salt bread at Always Yours, along with the banana pudding matcha latte,…read moreand knew I had to try both. We heard that there had been some long lines recently and that the bread can sell out fast, so he went ahead of me to get in line before they opened, but he said there actually wasn't a line this time. We went on a Sunday afternoon and got two each of the regular and chili oil scallion breads. Once I got to the cafe, I ordered the banana pudding matcha latte. We sat on the bench outside to eat our bread and noticed that it tasted just a *little* like it had been sitting out for a while. I wouldn't describe it as stale, it just didn't have as soft a texture as we expected. However, it tasted absolutely delicious. I'd recommend getting both flavors if you can. The chili oil one wasn't spicy, in my opinion, it just had a kick of chili flavor. The banana pudding matcha latte was a little less successful. The pudding was great, but it just sat on top of the drink. When I mixed it into the matcha, it still wasn't coming through very strong and the drink tasted almost entirely of matcha. It was disappointing because I love banana so much. I think I'd be better off just ordering the banana pudding in the future. I'd like to come back here on a Saturday to see if the bread is a bit fresher, and I'd order the banana pudding rather than the latte.

The cake was moist as well, and not dry at all. What a great deal overall. I even spied a tres leches cupcake when I did my pickup but held off since I was already picking up sweets.

She has never been able to have macarons and I went in search of a nut-free version. Lucky me that I reached out to Shades of Sugar! Eric agreed to take on the challenge of creating a macaron without almond flour and went through multiple variations, keeping me posted along the way, until he created a macaron with the right texture and taste. And they were AMAZING! Even the "connaisseurs" at the event were impressed. So for all of you with a nut allergy and even for those of you without, please support this business! Their customer service and their offerings are incomparable! Thank you, Eric!!!

I recently stopped by their tent when they were at the Hayward Block Party, and the experience was exactly like visiting their store. Everyone was so friendly, welcoming, and genuinely made sure you were taken care of. I love that they don't just bring their products to an event, they bring the same great customer service and aloha vibe with them too. One of my favorite things about Macs By Icky is that even after going months without visiting the store, they still remember me! The last time I stopped in, I ordered the Mac Nut Latte, and the guy at the register looked at me and said, "No Ube Latte today?" The Ube Latte is my usual go-to, so the fact that he remembered that made me smile. It's little things like that that make you feel appreciated as a customer instead of just feeling like another person placing an order. Bravo to the entire Macs By Icky team! You guys consistently deliver great drinks, but it's the friendly service and the way you remember your customers that really makes you stand out. Keep up the amazing work, Macs By Icky!
