    All the goodies
    Paige L.

    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!!!

    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.

    Longanisa croissant

    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.

    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.

    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!

    I've been eyeing this place for a while now when I first saw the ube croissant! So glad I finally got to go! We ordered the ube croissant, ensaymada croissant, strawberry creme brûlée cheesecake, and pan au chocolat. I had very high standards for the ensaymada croissant because ensaymada are on of my top favorite Filipino baked good! And let me tell you, GET IT. It had the flavors so perfect, reminded me of my childhood. Even my husband who's never had ensaymada said that was his favorite of the bunch we ordered. My number 2 is definitely the cheesecake, then the ube croissant. I'm already dying to go back and try the calamansi tart and the ube cupcake! What a great addition to our community!

    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.

    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!!

    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!

    My review is based upon the goodies I received. My friend from high school of Filipina background was visiting from SF and I had been sending her instagram reels of the photos of goodies from Dream Cakes. It was on our to-dos to go and try this place together. Well lo and behold she went with her family and extended family that had traveled up to Reno together. She was sweet and bought some goodies for me. One of which was the Turon danish. I enjoyed this pastry warmed up. The real winner was the Ube croissant. I remember she told me to keep it refrigerated. When I went to pull it out something told me to try it before heating it up. Wow! No heating necessary. I'm not sure if I have tried/enjoyed Ube but this croissant was incredible. My friend told me that she was told the cupcakes are popular so I'll be sure to add this to my list when on that side of town.

    Wow wow wow, what an absolute treat to have a phenomenal bakery in Reno! I was on the hunt for ube related pastries for my partner's birthday (his favorite) and came across Dream Cakes. The friendly worker guided me to the ube sweets, but everything looked really good and reasonably priced. Can confirm my partner's loved every single item and had a nibble of it too, can agree how good they were. We will definitely be regulars and I highly encourage everyone to support this local business!

    Assorted treats
    Breanne C.

    Picked up a variety of goodies from Dream Cakes and shared them with the family. The family loved them all! The pumpkin cheesecake, crème brûlée cheesecake, chocolate croissant, and the meat filled croissant (my brother really liked). Customer service was very good and she even threw in another treat (I love when businesses do that because it was my favorite one and something I wouldn't have picked out!) Fun to have such a delicious bakery in the neighborhood! Can't wait to walk there again and get more delicious freshly baked foodies!

    Happiness in a box!

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.

I was surprised to see this place as I've driven by this strip of businesses many times and never noticed this particular spot. They offer homemade treats, but mostly ice cream. They have an almost unmatched selection of non-dairy ice creams and sorbets. A nice surprise. The gentleman helping us was very nice and gave us a full rundown of how they make everything in house. He offered samples and suggestions. I sampled the flavor of the week, Lavender Honey Matcha, and the coconut cream coffee. My kids decided on the mango sorbet and the classic strawberry. Everything was delicious. The coconut cream ice cream had great flavor and texture given that it was non dairy. My wife and I decided on the matcha flavor of the week. It was very refreshing. The strawberry had real chunks of strawberry which is always a treat. My biggest critique is the texture of the ice cream. This stuff seemed very crumbly. I prefer a much more "chewy" or "sticky" ice cream if that makes sense. This stuff was more "dry" and less "creamy". There are some other local shops in the area that make great ice cream exactly how I like it, which is the only reason for 4 stars. I'm not sure this would be my top place for ice cream again. The smallest "one scoop" size is actually nearly two full scoops. Could be a good thing for some, but a kids scoop is always appreciated for my toddlers, especially a a slightly discounted price. That is not an option here. There are a few small tables inside to enjoy your treats and lots of to-go options which is always nice. The place was clean and well decorated. It was steadily busy while we visited, indicating that this place is likely here to stay. Overall, worth stopping in if you're in the area. The flavors are unique and tasty and the non-dairy selection is fantastic.

Flavor-wise, they were good... but for me personally, they were just a little too sweet. Almost overwhelmingly sweet. If you love ultra-sugary, decadent desserts, this will probably be your dream spot. They're definitely high-quality cookies just not quite my personal favorite because of the sugar level. I'd love to see slightly more balance in sweetness so the other flavors can shine. Would I come back? Yes. Would I pace myself next time? Also yes. Overall, great service, beautiful cookies, and a fun dessert stop in Reno just be ready for a serious sugar rush.
