FINALLY!! A great matcha spot that's not in the South Bay and competes with the best in Southern…read moreCalifornia. My gosh... I am someone who used to live in SoCal and Hawaii. I say it all the time in my reviews. I've had access to a plethora of coffee and matcha industry. And wherever I am on the globe, I always look for these shops during our adventures. Milly & Illian. My gosh. So welcoming. So proud of the shop, its products and their leadership. I hope the owners know. First timer here and I spent $52. Readers: the $52 was completely worth it as soon as we took a bite of the passion fruit mochi. Heaven sent. It's akin to Kailua's Bits & Bites on Oahu. Please don't ever close. Please stay open longer. This is the first time I've tried this after wanting to visit for so many years. I work full time andddd I live in 707 so it's a little bit of a trek out here. Orrrrr consider bringing this to 707- I would recommend Benicia if you are familiar with first street. You'd kill it here! I want to bring it back to my guys Milly and Illian. I'm big big big on energy and customer service and you both broughttttt it. Being 38 when I visit these very trendy IG worthy spots, I'm usually disappointed- if not by the coffee or dessert, most definitely by the customer service. Read all my reviews, it's my first comment usually. To the owners reading this, seriously give a shout out to these lovlies. They started my day on the right foot. Xoxo Can't wait to see what you bring back from Taiwan (see the guys shared where you are- sure to make the matcha and mochi shop even cooler). I'll come back soon! Kathleen

I had bookmarked Third Culture Bakery and finally got to try it. Around the corner from the shop…read morethere is plenty of free parking. It's a smaller shop, but very cute! Service was very friendly. They do sell some company merch here. We ordered the jouraku matcha latte with oat milk. We also ordered several of their bakery items including a guava donut, buko pandan donut, mochi banana pudding, and black sesame mochi muffin. I think the donuts are the star here! They are soft and chewy, not too sweet. The flavors are pretty accurate as well for the donuts. The mochi banana pudding was unique, and enjoyable! They did recommend heating up for 1 minute, but you can probably get away with much less time than that. The black sesame mochi muffin was pretty average. The jouraku matcha latte was average; couldn't really taste much of the matcha notes, but it had more matcha flavor than some other cafes. Overall, this was a unique bakery and I would totally come back!

Always in the hunt for a delicious apple fritter so any shop that has a Donuts sign will draw me…read morein! As I was heading towards the door, two women were peeking in and said the place had been remodeled. While I looked at the display case, another woman was at the register to pay but had no cash and no apps to pay as the place is cash or tap only. The two ladies that came in paid for her purchase. How kind is that?? I got my usual fritter, a plain old fashioned for the hubby and a cinnamon sugar malasada. They threw in 3 doughnut hole complimentary! The fritter is thin, had apples and isn't bad. I actually liked that it wasn't thick which can cause it to be gummy or undercooked inside. It was slightly burnt along the edges which can happen because these guys need more fry time. It was lacking cinnamon for me but overall, not bad. Not too sweet either. Happy to come back and get some raised doughnuts to try as well. Plenty of parking in the lot so give this place a try. Please support this local business.

My Office wanted donuts, so I dropped into Christy's to grab some…read more Of course, donuts are one of the things that I really can't resist if they're in front of me, so I had to try one... and a half. They aren't the best donuts I've ever had, but they were pretty good! I definitely wouldn't turn one away. I'm knocking them one star because, even though it was pretty early, I thought the selection wasn't amazing, and they're CASH ONLY. I can't believe I even had cash because I NEVER have cash, and now I DON'T have cash anymore because I spent it on freaking donuts. Crisis averted, but I was pretty sure I was going to have to have to walk out and leave my dozen donuts behind. I feel a little harsh knocking a star for that, but come on.

Came here on a Sunday afternoon and the place was packed with a mix of new customers and patrons…read more My eyes were delighted with their yummy pastries display. The line moved too quick I wish i couldve have more time to decide so i ended up getting more than I wanted. We got there Chocolate croissant, brioche, Flan Vanille, macaroons, marshmallow, 2 tuna sandwich, ham and cheese croissant and the croque monsieur. Although everything was pleasant our favorite was the Flan Vanille and the tuna sandwiches. The Flan vanille is my new favorite dessert going forward. I know it was a busy day and the staff was busy with the orders and service making tables available however they could improve in checking their bathroom and trash bins. All bins were too full even one by the counter. We notice that the staff continously wiping the counter but didnt notice the overflowing trash bin. Other than that i couldnt stop bragging about Mason Benoit on my social media. We will definitely come back.

Pick up is easy & convenient, the guy who came out was very nice and brought out the donuts immediately. I would recommend the variety box - 6 different flavors and every single one was good (bonus for ube which was the best in my opinion). Donuts are more cakey and less light, but each is designed super cutely and includes a donut hole at the top for convenient snacking or sharing.

I ordered a combo of the weekly menu, which included two lemon poppyseed donuts, two signature vanilla donuts and two chocolate chip donuts. Each donut came with a lil' donut hole on top, which was a very welcome surprise! All three flavors were delicious, but being a traditionalist, signature vanilla was my favorite. Looking forward to adding this joint into my donut rotation!

I visited this location around 11:40 AM and ordered a plain bagel with cream cheese for my child…read more Later, my child refused to eat it and said it tasted bad. When I checked it myself, the bagel was burnt almost completely black on one side -- to the point it looked like charcoal and tasted bitter. Honestly, it was hard to believe someone could serve it without noticing how badly burned it was. It felt very careless and disappointing, especially since this was food meant for a child. I understand mistakes happen, but this should never have been handed to a customer in that condition. I hope management pays closer attention to food quality and staff preparation standards.

My go-to is always an original glazed as it's not covered up with frills and distractions from truly tasting the dough. At first look, it wasn't overly opague aka covered in sugar glaze. It had just enough to sweet the top. It was a nice chew and sponginess that made me want to take another bite. Not too sweet. I only cut half as I wanted to try something sweeter, working my way up. I love a good raspberry jelly donut. Again, nice chew and not too sweet. Filling didn't have that artificially taste and spread evenly with each bite. I enjoyed it. DD loved the chocolate cake with cereal top. She didn't share bc it was that good to her. Hubs ate the chocolate glaze and maple bar by himself so I couldn't taste either. I guess the fam enjoyed it. Wish they had some French Cruellers as that's another favorite of mine. Before we had the sweets, we did share a croissant bacon egg cheese sandwich. Ngl, I was pleasantly surprised. Microwaved crispy bacon and melted cheese and it was a pretty tasty breakfast sandwich was for a donut shop. I'd drive across town again for more when I get another fix and donut what to eat for breakfast

This is a two star review. I came here at the recommendation of a co-worker and want to like it…read moremore than I did. I think the problem is that I couldn't get past the lack of a restroom in the area. They had some portables, but they are making food and we are supposed to eat it. Where are they washing their hands? This area is also pretty cold so if you go, make sure that you have a coat, scarf and hat. I'll never make that mistake again. But because of the cold, I didn't want to eat outside so our food got a cold, but it was good. My husband liked the food he got, but gluten free options are super limited. They get a third star because of the bar! Now there was only one person working there and that's fine because he could go get a snack or something and come back to pour drinks, but again. The restroom issue. Where does he wash his hands, what if he has a cold and sneezes into them, and so on. That's where my mind went. The vendors are quite nice and were helpful and weren't mean when they answered my GF questions and I appreciate that. So, this is like the little engine that could. I can see that it is a gathering spot for people and they have music and speakers which is cool. So I saw and felt a community vibe and people really seemed to like going. If I lived in the area, I may try it a bit more, but in all honestly, Oakland Museum's Off the Grid event is everything I wish this was. I'm sure that they will get there, but don't want to hang out while they figure it out.
