    Ube croissant
    Lisa L.

    Been wanting to get the ube croissant for awhile now and finally made the time to get one! It was delicious, not too sweet. Can't wait to try other items from here!

    All the goodies

    Good lord- the food here does things to me! Every single thing we tried was off the charts but my personal favorites were the Ube croissant and the spam croissant. Straight knocked my socks off!!! It's super cute in here- although it is tiny they do have plenty of outdoor seating. Pricing is fantastic as well. We got 5 things and it was around $25 which I think is great! Service was amazing and the girl who helped us was kind, helpful and knowledgeable. My husband is Filipino so it hits a soft spot for the both of us. Will definitely be coming back. Thank you!!!

    A friend told us to try a Filipino Bakery in NW Reno. Opened in August 2025, Dream Cakes is an amazing blend exquisite bakery skills with pasteries that are sure to strike a cord with American and Filipino palettes alike. Let me just put it out there, in terms of Croissants, I think Dream Cakes is THE BEST in all of Reno. Bold words, I know, but these croissants are truly next level. The Chocolate Croissant has a light but satisfying snap to it, with the inside rich with flavor, fluffy, with structure and not at all doughy. The hint of chocolate completes the experience. The Butter Croissant had a rich, comforting buttery base, wrapped in a slightly flakey outside, one that announces itself with a gentle, articulate snap, the kind that suggests precision rather than fragility. It's a crispness that feels intentional, almost conversational, as if the pastry is inviting you into its layers rather than showing them off. Inside, the craftsmanship becomes unmistakable. There is no hint of doughiness, no underbaked heaviness lurking beneath the surface. Instead, each bite releases a warm, buttery richness that spreads slowly, confidently--never overwhelming, always balanced. What lingers is a sense of completeness. This croissant doesn't chase decadence; it achieves it through harmony. The textures speak to technique, the flavor to patience, and the overall experience to a baker who knows that the most memorable pastries are the ones that feel effortless. A quietly exceptional croissant--one that earns its praise not through grandeur, but through grace. Dream Cakes is worth the drive.

    Welcome!

    I wanted to start 2026 off right. I wanted to get back in the Yelp food atmosphere. I follow Dream Cakes on social media and wanted to try their Ube croissant. January was ending and I took my mom out for the day. I was in northwest Reno, so I knew this was my chance! I saw on their website that you can order and pick up, but it had pick up times for the next day, so I figured you need 24 hours. Good to know! I will be using that in the future! :) When I got there, only a couple was ordering, but when I left, lots of customers were arriving! I believe it gets pretty busy! I already knew what I wanted from the choices on the website. But honestly, when I got there, I wanted everything. So many delicious choices! The Ube cookies are very good. The white chocolate chips are pretty sweet though. The Ube croissant is AMAZING!!!!!! Flaky, soft, buttery, and so much filling! Highly highly recommend! The chocolate chip cookies have plenty of chocolate and are large. Taste wonderful. Staff is friendly and helpful :) The parking lot is small , it is a shopping center with other businesses around.

    I am so beyond excited that this place exists! It's a bit of a drive for us, but that's mostly a good thing. We'll get it every now and then as a treat and not everyday, because I definitely would come back every single day for an Ube croissant. Those are absolutely DIVINE! As are so many other items including the cinnamon pull apart (warmed up is the best although they do not have a warmer for the croissants yet), the Ube cookie with white chocolate chips, and the strawberry shortcake cupcake. (let it get to room temp unless you're a fan of cold cupcakes from the fridge) I wasn't crazy about the blood orange cranberry cheesecake. It was lacking a bit in flavor, and the crust wasn't very buttery. The chocolate chip cookie (not pictured) was just okay, but the snickerdoodle cookie is by far my new favorite! It's chewy, crispy edges, spicy and warm, love it! I also tried the calamansi tart (not pictured), I didn't care for it very much, it's very close to key lime, but something was off about it for me. Another one that i don't have a picture of is the strawberry rhubarb Danish lightly dusted with powdered sugar. I had that the next day in the toaster oven and it was so perfect. The layers were still perfectly crispy, the powdered sugar melted which actually ended up being really good along with the jam in the center. I did like the longanisa sausage croissant, but the sweetness of it was throwing me off a bit so i didn't enjoy it as much, but the garlic parmesan croissant on the other hand! I could easily eat about four of those in one sitting no matter how strong the garlic is. Regardless of the items i didn't like, I can't wait to come back to try many of the other options. The staff are such sweet and helpful people, and the inside is so pretty and very clean. Salamat (thank you) to all at Dream Cakes, and much love.

    We came by to check them out. The shop is small and super cute. You can sit down if you have a party of two or less. Overall we came a little later. Didnt realize it would sell out. So come earlier or put in an order in advance. We ordered one cupcake. It was the pandan cupcake. It was good, but a little too moist and there was a creme in the middle that seemed to still be panda. Wasn't sure. Giving the rating as the sevice was ok. The lady was sweet, but she kind of gave us the ugliest of the cupcakes. So overall consistency was about a 4 out 5 for the look of the cupcakes. I think what disappointed me is the lack of filipino bake goods when they run out of their popular items. It was still very typical things like biscoff cupcakes and croissants. I was expecting a full blown filipino bakery. So note that its a fusion bakery. Has french pasteries and filipino fusion pastery. So please go and try the other options. They looked good, but my heart was ready to try the filipino specifi flavors. Head there when they open or within the first hour. Also there is no sign on top. So look for the pink flags, to the right of NumNum. We will go back, but next time order something for a holiday gathering or birthday. I want to try amd rate it accordingly. This rating was focused more on the expectation of the bakery rather than the quality. One cupcake is not a good overall rating of what their food taste like. It was more the experience, advertisement, and the word of mouth expectations. I love the fact, we have a filipino bakery. Really excited to see what else they make and I guess I should follow them on social media to see what other options they have.

    Okay, I had to do it! I had to drive from South Reno to Northwest Reno just to taste the delicacies at Dream Cakes. It was a terribly rainy day, but the tables inside were full with patrons chatting and eating. I was determined to get their famous ube croissants. In the case, there were only three left, but their kind employee pointed out a back shelf where they had dozens in case I needed more. The ube croissant was so flakey and filled to the brim with the lightest, fluffiest ube filling imaginable. The crunchy delicate croissant paired so perfectly with the not overly sweet filling. I immediately made an espresso when I got home, so I could enjoy it properly. The staff also recommended a Filipino sausage croissant that my daughter loved! Spiced just right and wrapped in a croissant which catches all the goodness and acts as a buttery wrap. We also tried the garlic twists and the strawberry rhubarb danish. The flakiness was consistent and buttery. The twists were crunchy and would go well with a soup or salad. The strawberry rhubarb filling in the danish tasted truly of fresh berries and seemed to melt into the pastry. So yummy! I'm looking forward to more trips to taste more of their treats.

    Great pastries and welcoming service. I love this new Filipino bakery. Very chic and clean. I highly recommend ordering the longanisa croissant, ube cupcake, ube cookies and pull apart cinnamon. We usually come around 9 and they're always out of ube croissant which is unfortunate for me but really happy for their success. Definitely recommend to come and visit and try their pastries!!

    Supporting a Filipino-owned small business in the biggest little city! Came for the ube croissant and it did not disappoint! The size was shareable and you can really taste the ube! We tried the longanisa croissant, but was a little disappointed. It wasn't served warm and the whole thing kind of fell apart due to soggy bread from the meat. I also ordered the cranberry orange cheesecake and love that one the most! Cute decor and friendly service!

    We stopped into Dream Cakes to try some of their filipino baked goods and we had an overall good but mixed experience. We tried the longanisa croissant, ube croissant and ham and cheese croissant as well. We LOVED the ube croissant it was not too sweet and it was an absolute 10/10. We will be back for this for sure. The ham and cheese croissant was really good as expected. The longanisa croissant was what I was most looking forward to and it was good but unfortunately it didn't meet my expectations as it was falling apart from the moment we picked it up because the meat was so heavy in the croissant it just broke immediately. The flavor was good but it felt too heavy inside the buttery flakes of the croissant. Overall, our experience was good and we look forward to trying some of their other baked goods like the cupcakes, tarts, etc.

    Blood Orange Cranberry Cheesecake. Notice the specs of vanilla bean
    Derah M.

    Came here on a whim and so glad I did. I got the Blood Orange Cranberry Cheesecake, Ube Cookie, Chocolate Chip Cookie, and Pull Apart Bread. The Blood Orange Cheesecake is amazing. I'm usually not a fan of cheesecake because people tend to make them overly sweet and sugary but this one wasn't overly sweet. The crust was perfect and the cake portion was moist and not dense. The cranberry topping was also balanced well and the orange garnish was perfect. The orange piece I think was the skin of an orange. I'm not sure but it tasted like an organic sour patch kid without the sour. It was so good I would literally order it if they sold it as candy lol. Everything else was really good too but my favorite of course was the cheesecake. The shop is pretty small and though there are some seats it's more of a grab and go type of place. The worker was very friendly and welcoming! She took time to explain flavors like pandan, ube, etc. and made recommendations. 5 Stars!

    The Goods!

    A Filipino bakery in Reno...finally! And trust me--don't let the name fool you. This spot is so much more than cakes. This place is an absolute gem! I pre-ordered online and their website is incredibly user-friendly. Highly recommend doing the same! The storefront is adorable--bright, inviting, and filled with the most amazing smells. It's tucked inside the retail building next to Peg's on Mae Anne, and the service is warm, friendly, and genuinely welcoming with indoor/outdoor seating. Now...the goods. I was in Ube Heaven! As someone who bakes Ube treats myself, I can confidently say their flavors are spot on. The Ube Croissant is everything you hope it will be--light, airy, buttery, and filled with a silky Ube cream that's absolutely delicious and fully covered in Ube. The Ube Cookie might be one of the best I've ever had: soft, filled with white chocolate chips and a rich, true Ube flavor in every bite. The Calamansi Tart is a must if you love citrus--bright, refreshing, and perfectly sweet with a soft-crisp meringue on top. Total perfection. The Ube Cupcake is light, moist, and filled with that dreamy Ube cream. And the Cinnamon Pull-Apart with Brown Butter Coffee Icing, pure magic. For something savory, don't miss the Longanisa Croissant. The pastry is buttery and flaky, wrapped around flavorful, fresh-tasting longanisa (pork) So, so good. Overall, everything we tried was incredible--nothing overly sweet, beautifully balanced flavors, and you can truly taste the quality and love put into every pastry. I also love the baker's story and can't wait to try more of their creations. I'll definitely be ordering cakes from here for future celebrations. Highly, highly recommend this bakery!

    The baked items looked amazing. We got the longanisa, ensaymada, and ube croissant and it was pretty good. Ube was my favorite! Server was nice.

A delicious blend that's well balanced, and not overly sweet or buttery. Oh, what's a "cutie pie"? It's a miniature pie, perfect for 1-2 servings, and a great way to say yes to some pie without committing to it for a week. They have other fun ones like Hoosier (brown sugar custard w/ oatmeal crust), chess (lemon custard), and Jumbleberry (mixed berries), along with the usual classic flavors. I've also tried the pecan cutie pie, and a seasonal (should be year-round!) cherry almond cupcake, which was the perfect blend of almond flavor and tart cherry. Creative flavors like that make this bakery really stand out, and the fresh ingredients, perfect preparation, and friendly service, keep you coming back for more. Love that it's a local shop right off Mayberry. Bright, cute, and super clean inside, with plenty of parking and indoor seating.

We ordered the Dust Storm: a vanilla milkshake with chocolate bits, topped with a giant blondie skewered dramatically on top, plus whipped cream, sprinkles, and chocolate drizzle. The rim of the jar was coated in marshmallow dip and graham cracker crumbs because apparently subtlety has left the chat. Honestly, the presentation was on point and exactly the kind of milkshake kids dream about. Which is why we ordered it. My tween declared it "the best milkshake I've ever seen in my life," and honestly, that alone made it worth the stop on our mother-daughter trip. Taste-wise, it leaned very sweet for me and didn't have a ton of flavor depth beyond sugar overload. But clearly the goal here is maximal fun and aesthetic, and they absolutely nailed that. It's basically a photo op you can drink. The shop itself was surprisingly quiet when we visited in the evening--we had the whole place to ourselves--but there were games to play while waiting for our order (we pulled out Pick Up Sticks, which transported me straight back to my 90s childhood living room). The ladies at the counter were also incredibly kind and patient explaining the menu and flavors to us. If you're looking for an over-the-top dessert experience your kids will talk about for days, this is your place.

    Ordered a cake from here earlier this year, finally got around to reviewing because talk of this…read morecake continues to come up in conversation to this day! I hadn't read the reviews before ordering, as I was frantic in trying to find a bakery that could do a small custom cake less than 24 hours before my Mother-in-Law's birthday. I was desperate and willing to take anything, and Leigh Anne was very sweet and patient with me on the phone. We settled on the Carrot L-Orange cake (heavenly). I forget the exact size, but I remember she said it would feed ~6 people which was perfect, and truly it could have fed up to 12+ people as that's how many servings we got out of it. That cake was tall, flavor-packed, and very rich. The complimentary carrot, nutmeg, and orange flavors had a warm spice that had me questioning why it had been over a decade since I last had carrot cake! It is criminally underrated in my peer group, or at least it was until we had this one. You know you've got a great recipe when even the folks who 'don't want any cake/don't like sweets' start eyeing it to make sure there's some left for them to try, and especially when they ask if they can take a to-go slice back home because they know someone who just HAS to try it. Thank you again for the beautiful, scrumptious, Delicious Design!

Nothing Bundt cakes has appeared at EVERY celebration of ours, between birthdays and anniversaries. so on APRIL 16th we placed an order for UNR's graduation to celebrate the first college graduate in our family. Our pick up time was for 11:15. My daughter went to pick up our order at 12:04 after the graduation ran long, and we wanted to give some additional time to prepare our order as we knew it would be a busy day. By 12:27 she was still texting me that she was IN LINE, for a pickup order we placed a month prior. They should have created a second pick up line for already placed orders, especially since UNR graduation has been set for this date for a year and knew it would be busy. But no, they chose disorganization and didn't value any of their customers and had them waiting for ridiculous amounts of time (over 30 minutes?!?!) . My daughter missed most of her son's graduation lunch because of this wait, breaking her heart as she just wanted to bring his favorite dessert and missed almost the whole lunch because of NOTHING BUNDT CAKES. The employee told the person in front of my daughter that they were out of frosting, and that if they didn't have a flavor they would look to see if "they could steal one from an ahead order" UM. IM SORRY. SO PEOPLE PLACED ORDERS WEEKS AHEAD AND THEN DAY OF THEY WERE LOOKING TO COMPLETE NEW ORDERS WITH ORDERS PEOPLE HAD PLACED BUT HADNT PICKED UP YET?!?!?!? Picking up our placed order took over 40 minutes, while my elderly father was stuck waiting in the car for that entire time. To make up for this? They offered my daughter a free bundlet, only available to be redeemed from that one cursed location (we don't live in state and certainly will NEVER be back to this location even if we were in state again) absolutely ridiculous. This was so stressful that my daughter's Oura ring warned her she was in a high stress environment (to pick up a pre ordered cake! Imagine that!) Nothing Bundt cakes ruined our day and our celebration. I really hope that next year they just close for graduation since they clearly cannot handle it and they should not have people relying on them when they are incompetent in completing orders placed a month ahead. This was beyond disappointing, and I hope that someone from management reaches out to correct this. In the future we will no longer be ordering nothing Bundt cakes, despite our big family ordering them almost monthly for birthdays. IF ANYONE IS ORDERING FOR NEXT YEARS GRADUATION- DONT!!!!!!! Try another place!!!!! Not worth the stress.
