Everyone raved about the cake-- perfect texture and not cloyingly sweet. The fruits were all ripe and delicious, beautifully displayed atop the cake. Would definitely get again!! Pricing was about $90, which is pricier than I usually shell out for a cake, but honestly felt really worth it for what you get.

Would love if they can offer indoor seating someday although it's a small space.

The bakert has such an adorable selection of figurative desserts with intricate details. For examples, grizzly bear, pink bear, brown bear, capybara, soccer ball, peach, strawberry, butterfly, just to mention a few. They also serve portugese egg tart, croissants, coconut egg tart, cake, and drinks. The shop is spacious with limited seating. The staff were very nice and friendly. I ordered: -Grizzly bear 5/5 White chocolate cream glazed mango passion fruit purée filling chiffon cake, chocolate mousse. It was decadent and creamy. -Capybara 5/5 Jasmine hazelnut orange. The combination of orange and hazelnut was magnificent. It was such an excellent dessert. - Portuguese egg tart 5/5 Golden flaky pastry shell filled with adequately sweet and silky creamy egg custard. It was just for $0.99! Unbelievable price compared to the quality of the egg tart. I would come back specifically for the Portugese egg tart. I highly recommend Patisserie Too. Definitely, I will be back to try more of their indulgent desserts, freshly baked pastries and refreshing drinks.

That can't be wise, especially considering how much heat enters via those windows during the summer. That aside, I was able to try their Nutella Croissant. The croissant was rich and generous without being overwhelming. You could almost say it hits a SWEET balance between rich and modest (pun totally intended). They also have fruit-shaped pastries that are going viral online, but I decided to skip on those for now. Everything looked fresh and the croissant was absolutely fresh, delicious and totally worth the price of admission.

We love the pastries and the coffee, but the real stars of the show are the sandwiches, mostly cause they're made on the homemade bread from the bakery The other day we dropped in and got in the line to order. We admired all the pastries, take away salads and specialty baked goods in the display cases. My husband and I chose to split a warmed up smoked turkey, brie cheese, and caramelized onion sandwich on their fresh baked white bread. We picked up the beverages along the way, which are also displayed in the counter and got to check out on the new large computer check out screen. It was a little tricky, but the wait person helped us out The place is packed so we returned to a table that my brother-in-law had held for us. You get a number when you check out, then wait for your meal at the tables. The place is so popular that the dining has even spilled over into the little alleyway next door. We bought potato chips separately from a rack near the checkout counter and I picked up a chocolate croissant for breakfast the next morning cause I knew how good the pastries were. The food came out in about 20 minutes. We had arrived right at noon when the place is packed. The sandwich was scrumptious. The fresh bread was a great holder for the oozing cheese and lightly heated turkey with the onions on top, giving it a nice smoky flavor. My little bottle of Martinelli's apple juice was the perfect tart accompaniment, and my husband had lemonade. We talked and visited and enjoyed this mini family reunion in such a warm and convivial atmosphere !

We ordered the black sesame cake for my wife's bday. Overall, great presentation, good taste, easy pickup. The cake was fluffy, the cream was light , not overly sweet, and well balanced by nuts and raisins. Maybe the nuts and raisins were a bit over (some might argue it was too much texture). Will definitely be back to try other flavors

Got this cake for my birthday and it might be the best cake design I've ever seen. The detail and…read morepresentation were on another level. Flavors were unique too. I got peach guava and it was refreshing and light, not overly sweet like a lot of birthday cakes tend to be. I also loved the utensils that came with it and the whole unboxing experience. It felt like a lot of thought went into the packaging, not just the cake itself. Only issue is the price is kind of pricey, but it also makes sense given the quality. Not sure if its just me, but the sizing seemed like it could feed more than the selected count, especially if youre a small eater. You can tell this cake is well made and meant for special, unique moments. Would order again for another celebration.

The decor in this bakery was sleek, cozy, and modern, which fit the bustling crowd when I came here on a weekday morning. You line up next to their pastry counter and wait to be called to the front to order, which I love personally because it gives you time to choose your pastries. The staff were so helpful when I asked for recommendations as it was my first time visiting, and they recommended their signature and popular items such as their cinnamon rolls and cookies. I had to of course follow! FOOD: -Cinammon Roll -Cornbread Cookie -Chocolate Chip Cookie -Double Chocolate Chip Cookie -Matcha Brownie Each item was delectable!!! They used high quality matcha in their matcha brownie which I loved and wow that chocolate chip cookie and cinnamon roll were AMAZING.

The service is great, they're good at explaining each item on the menu, while the line gets long it moves fairly quickly. They also accept pre-order on their hotplate site if you don't want to stand in line. My favorites are the lychee rose mochi cake, churro croissant, Chinese broccoli croissant, and their halo halo pie. I've also ordered a birthday cake from Aeriel (lead pastry chef) and my guests loved it. During the holiday season I always order the whole 9" Halo Halo pie and I always get compliments on it. Because their pop up is at the park, the ambiance is limited to what the park offers but at the same time Crumbs and Flakes will occasionally be at other nearby coffee shops like Mandarin in Pasadena.

Their croissants were both super flaky, much better than any croissant I've ever had, very surprisingly. Loved the raspberry in the raspberry croissant, and it was not as sweet as I expected.

Had this location saved on Yelp for a while and finally went to give it a try…read more However, "SERVICE" was HORRIBLE!!!! Went in on a Thursday afternoon. Had my teen go in first because I had to take care of my toddlers. She came back very quick and disappointed. There was no one behind her and the two young Caucasian guys made her felt unwelcome. One of them gave her hand gestures to hurry up. She ordered her drink not being able to think which one she should try and do she just ordered anything. Then, she was trying to look at all the pastry's that were left, the guy condescendingly told her to move to the other side to order desserts and she moved to the dessert area and was rushed by the other guy so she just ordered a chocolate cupcake without being able to decide which one she preferred. No one greeted her or provided any type of welcoming service. She said the employees were rude and made the ambiance uninviting. I ended up not going in because it was very disturbing to hear how she was treated. Not sure if it was due to she was a teenager AND/OR race but every person should be treated with RESPECT. I'm not someone who writes a review. I only have Yelp to search for places and read reviews but.... Due to the poor service I'd give this place a one star but the chocolate cupcake was delicious because it was perfectly moist and not too sweet. The pumpkin latte was ok because it's just like any other coffee with just pumpkin sweetener.

We were done about an hour before our reservation time. We hoped to be accommodated earlier but saw the long line and crowd waiting as we drove by. We decided to run a couple small errands instead. We arrived about 10 minutes before our reservation. It was still busy, but there were not as many people waiting. The hostess was so warm and welcoming. She let us know that the customers at our designated table were almost done and that they will have it ready in just a few minutes. Unfortunately, those customers decided to linger much longer. Thirty minutes later, they were still hanging around. We fully understood that this was not by any fault of the restaurant. We continued to wait patiently. The hostess was very apologetic and was trying to work out a solution which led to the Floor Manager (Karla) getting involved. We were eventually seated at another table, with the option to move should the other table become available. Karla then took the time to apologize for the wait and unfortunate first impression. As we got started with drinks and a pastry for the daughter, the other table opened. The hostess immediately came to move us. It all went smoothly from there. Table service was casual and attentive. We started with the Chocolate Almond Croissant and the Baguette & Bordier Butter. The daughter tried the Iced Matcha Latte. For our entrées -- Shakshuka, Patty Melt and Brioche Eggs Benedict (with salmon). I was eager to try the Potato Gravlax, but it was sold out. :( Everything was so, so delicious! Fresh and flavorful. Lovely presentations. Very good portions. As we were finishing, Karla came to our table again to express her gratitude for our patience and understanding. She gave me her business card with an offer to contact her directly should we need another reservation. On our way out, I stopped to compliment the sweet young hostess for a job well done. Wonderful experience. Beautiful decor. I would give Oh La La 10 stars if I could! We will most certainly be back!
