They had a pop-up at Lookout coffee today and what a treat!…read more Alex was so personable and really puts in all the effort in these cookies. They were AMAZING! I ordered most of the flavors but my favorite were the following: -smoreo Oreo -miso cornflake -smoreo -salted Carmel walnut -pineapple whip Which is literally all the ones I ordered. There wasn't a single one I didn't enjoy. Had myself a little cookie tasting tonight, thank you, Alex! Keep your eyes on his Insta for the next location.

I went around 11 and they were already sold out of one kind of cookie! But he offered me a secret cookie so I ofcourse had to get that too. The cookies are super unique flavors like miso cornflake and taro mochi. I had to get all of them since I couldn't pick just one. The pineapple whip was fresh with chunks of pineapple! All of them had super good texture, chewy consistency, and nice flavors! Overall will def buy again! The owner was super friendly and the cookies were baked the morning of which I love! Cute little logo and bag. Loved how everyone at the coffee shop had their yellow bags with them.

We had I Love Brulee creme brulees for our wedding in San Francisco, and they were such a hit!…read more Jenn, who owns the business, is so sweet and lovely to work with. We first picked up a sample box from Jenn, tried several different flavors, and then decided on 3 flavors (cookies and cream, bacon, and matcha) for our wedding. She delivered to our wedding venue the morning of the event. Everything from communications, payment, delivery, etc. were super easy and smooth. And of course the creme brulees were a hit! We loved them, our guests loved them, and even one person whose favorite dessert is creme brulee said he was impressed. Overall, a five star experience with I Love Brulee - highly recommend!

I picked up the order from their location and brought the desserts to a party. I got the variety pack (during lunar new year) and they were a hit! Everyone loved it and they were gone within minutes. I wish I had ordered more! The smoreo and caramel biscoff were probably my favorites! Will definitely be ordering more for the future!

I was able to get my hands on the #HomeSweetHomeBox for Father's Day and it didn't disappoint. I…read morehad been eyeing her cupcakes on Instagram for awhile for their unique sounding flavors and adorable decorations. WHAT I ORDERED: My box came with 4 cupcakes and 2 cookies: 2 of the "Churro o O it's Magic" cupcakes -- this cupcake was my favorite and OUT OF THIS WORLD! The cinnamon sugar cupcake was hearty and soft, the frosting was buttery perfection and the freshly fried heart-shaped churro on top brought a nice, crunchy texture to each bite. 2 of the "Duvalín" cupcakes -- Goodness gracious. This cupcake was full of fresh, bright flavors perfect for a warm summer day. The strawberry had a refreshing, real fruit flavor and paired perfectly with the hazlenut. 2 of the Puerquito Pan Dulces cookies -- the perfect mexican cookie. Admittedly, I didn't grow up on mexican cookies... as a child I never thought they were sweet enough (SUCH A KID), but as an adult... PERFECT! They were soft, had a mild (and scrumptious) flavor of cinnamon and molasses, and had a perfect level of sweetness. Unfortunately I had no coffee prepared and ATE THEM ALL before I had a chance to make any but they would have paired with it PERFECTLY. Can't wait to order another box in the future.

Food: B+ The Tato Dog concept--combining two products into one novelty--is not bad. It fit the theme of the day and played its part. The batter itself is bread-like and had a nice chew, accompanied by a side of fried taters with each bite. Compared to its competition, I believe it is a solid product, but it needs a little something extra to stand out more. Sauces offered were just basic ketchup and mustard though. Vibe: B+ Service: B Self-serve kiosks, minimal interaction, but it was quick and efficient. We were notified by text when the grub was ready for pickup. - John

I found Anna Olivia Bakes when she had just started out at Willow Glen farmer's market, and I have…read morebeen a huge fan of her "Brit-ish" bakes ever since. What initially drew me to Anna Olivia were her traditional millionaire bars and sticky toffee pudding, my all-time favorite British desserts. I've shared her goodies with close friends and family, and my niece loved her desserts so much that she requested an Anna Olivia dessert spread for her engagement party. I've grown adventurous and tried the wheel of desserts she's put out for the local farmers' markets. Here's a list of items I absolutely love of hers: - Sticky toffee pudding (obviously) - Millionaire bars (obviously) - Biscoff rocky road bars (out of this world and in my top 3 desserts from San Jose) - Scones with clotted cream and lemon curd - Salted caramel Nutella cookies (My husband's favorite) - Orange chocolate chip cookies (My husband's favorite as well. This one is seasonal, and she actually uses pieces from Terry's Chocolate Orange ball the chips.) - Banoffee pie - Key lime pie - Guinness cake - Double chocolate cake - Raspberry white chocolate bars - Cream puffs I am subscribed to her weekly menu drops that you can pre-order for pickup at her commercial kitchen or Willow Glen farmers' market or Campbell farmers' market. I look out for things like holiday items and specialty items, such as her cake sampler.

When I visited over the holidays my brother shared some scones he got from Anna Olivia Bakes -…read morehonestly it was the best scone I've eaten since having afternoon tea in London. My brother had both blueberry and cranberry-orange scones, which he got as "sets" with clotted cream and a preserve - lemon curd for the blueberry scones and raspberry jam for the cranberry-orange. They were so much lighter than the typical scone you get in the US - a proper "short" texture with a crunchy crust. Paired with the clotted cream and their respective preserves they were an absolute delight.

Delicious cakes and breads! Love the tres leches cakes! Super happy they have online ordering now…read moreand Apple Pay!

We found this bakery through Google search many years ago. I am not really sure how to put my…read moreexperience in words but I will try. You know that toxic relationship with someone you know will disappoint and hurt you but you keep going back anyway? Exactly. There. That's them. My husband and daughter love their vanilla tres leches cake. I do too. It is pretty amazing. So where is the hurt part you may be wondering? The last three times we ordered the cake, they got our order wrong. Sometimes it's the wrong size, sometimes it's the wrong flavor and one time they didn't have our order at all. I had ordered online these past few times so the flavor and size were all in writing. I don't know how they messed it up. When I called them, they refused to change or do anything to make up. You know that toxic person who disappoints every time, yet we make excuses for their bad behavior- maybe they were busy, not in a good mood, one more chance, think of the good times ( or taste in this case)- ditto. They do need better customer service for sure. They are a good drive away from us too and are not cheap. Now the million dollar question- will I go back? I never order my birthday cake from them but give in when my husband and daughter request theirs. For all the inconvenience of getting the wrong order, no corrections and spending a lot of time on the phone with them, I really don't think it's worth ordering from them. Also like that toxic relationship, they won't pick up the phone easily. You may have to try for hours. But if you are okay with getting mocha instead of vanilla or a smaller size round cake instead of the big sheet cake that you ordered, you will be fine. Don't expect to get what you ordered, and you may even be delighted. Ambiance is ordinary, no place to sit, it's an average bakery.

I got to try this dessert shop for the first time while I was at SJ made!…read moreThey had a shady spot in the center and all the staff were very quick and efficient amongst the busy crowds I tried two desserts while I was here: - Black sesame tiramisu: it was super moist which is one of my favorite aspects of a good tiramisu, not a big fan of overly creamy and dry ones. My one critique is that I wish it had a bit more black sesame flavor 7/10 - Egg custard mille pocket: 8/10 super flakey pastry you can tell it was fresh, and there was so much custard stuffed inside, the crispy brûlée part on top was perfect Highly recommend trying their different fusion desserts and pastries!!

I've seen Gong Dessert pop up at festivals around the Bay sooo many times but always missed out…read morebecause they sell out fast. So when I saw they were doing a pop-up collab "Ăn Sáng" with Nhà Cafe at Van Bakery in Lion Plaza... I knew I had to lock in and ordered ahead of time. Pulled up around 12PM and the line was long, stretching from the bakery all the way to Pho Hoa, and that was just for pickup orders. Waited about 40 minutes for my turn. The setup was really cute. They had these small tables and chairs for people to sit and eat right there, really gave that Vietnamese street breakfast vibe. They even had one of those convex round mirrors hanging on a wooden column for people to take pics, such a small detail but so aesthetic and smart PR ngl. There were only like 4 staff (including the baker/owner himself) running everything but they worked efficiently and were very friendly. I ordered the "Fried Fish" Bun, Pork Floss Croissant, and Pandan Coconut Bun. My fave was DEFINITELY the "Fried Fish" Bun. It's a creative take on chả cá lã vọng, and even as someone who doesn't usually go for fish, I really enjoyed it. The fish was fresh, and the combination of dill mayo and grilled onions worked really well. The pork floss croissant was a bit smaller than regular artisan croissants, but for the price $6 it was fair. The flavor was nicely balanced between sweet, savory, and buttery. I love how fine the pork floss was. Didn't get to try the pandan coconut bun myself, but this is the exact feedback from the person who tried it (he doesn't like coconut but i do lol) "the outer part was very good, but middle was coconut which i don't like, i ate all around the middle hahaha, i think you would have really liked it, i just don't prefer coconut, but otherwise it was really good". Overall, such a fun pop-up experience. Even with the long wait, the vibe, the creativity, and the quality made it worth it. Definitely gonna keep an eye out for future drops from Droo The Baker because they really doing something special.
