I am SO grateful that Sweet Haven Bakery is now across the street from the yoga studio where I teach. Their cookies and cupcakes are delicious. The staff who work there are friendly and great to talk with. I was pleasantly surprised to find there is also a coffee shop in the store as well (separate review coming for Ka Pua Coffee), also with plant-based options. I'm basic and boring and get the iced Americano, but I've gotten the seasonal island latte for my husband who loved it. Swing by and try out these delicious, locally-owned shops.

Seriously, I've never had anything I didn't rave about here. Bonus for having a coffee stand inside as well. Yum. What knocks off a star for me are the near impossible hours. A bakery that opens at 10am knocks out a morning purchase on my way to work and since they also close at 5pm that also stops a dessert purchase on my way home. And they are closed on Sundays... *Sigh* I really hope they do well in this new location, but they're leaving a lot of money on the table in my opinion with these operating hours.

These are pretty oliy compared to the 1,000's I've had over the past 50 years that were made by Filipino grandmas. Prices are average.

O Cafe has a charming French café vibe, the kind of place where the dessert case immediately…read morecatches your attention and makes it almost impossible to choose just one thing. I picked up the raspberry mango mousse, key lime pie, and madeleines to go, and everything was delicious. The raspberry mango mousse was light and fruity, the key lime pie had that perfect sweet and tangy balance, and the madeleines were a great little treat to take home. Their desserts are beautifully presented, and everything I've tried here has delivered on flavor too. There's something fun about browsing the case and picking out a few different pastries and desserts. It feels like a little taste of a Parisian café with a little Fair Oaks personality mixed in. Rex Tip: Explore beyond your usual order and try something new from the dessert case/ menu they never disappoint. And if you sit outside, don't be surprised if a few chickens wander by your table! They're part of the Fair Oaks culture and charm, and honestly, they're pretty cute. Just plan your visit because they close early: 5 PM on weekdays, 6 PM on Saturday, and 3 PM on Sunday. 5 ROARS from Focusaurus Rex

Although, I didn't check the time and saw that they were closing at six so I called around 545 and asked if they're able to stay in later so I can pay for my drink and I can order on the phone and the person on the phone with me said ' yeah I can stay back till 6:15' . AsI rushed over here, my time went up due to traffic and I let her know that and she said that 'as long as I get in before 6:20 it's gonna be ok' thankfully I got here at 6:18 and as soon as I got in, she handed me my drink, and as I paid for it, she offered me a custard on the house, and I happily took the custard. I told her that I was going to see a movie and that I needed something to drink before I saw the movie and she understood and listen to me as I was talking. Definitely would recommend going here! People are very accommodating to a situation, and like I said, they never disappointed with their drinks and I can't wait to try custard pastry!

Sunday at Norouz Festival, I bought a Bandari sausage sandwich from Sina Market along with a soda…read moreand chips for $15, but unfortunately the quality was very poor. The sandwich had basically just one sausage, a few pieces of hard, undercooked potatoes, and the rest was mostly pickles and peppers. I was really disappointed with this purchase. This wasn't my first bad experience with this store. The last time, I was sold expired pickles and about a pound of spoiled, sour ham. I genuinely wanted to support this business, but this kind of unprofessional behavior has made me regret coming back. It's also worth mentioning that I'm not the only one who has had this kind of experience.

I used to love coming here as it is the closest donut shop to my residence. However, that was…read morebefore it was sold to a business owner who has employed their family in customer service positions and has no desire nor ability to coach their employees to provide better service. The gentleman who is always there seems intoxicated and has no business working in customer service. He says strange things and is extremely forgetful - in fact, the same day I stopped coming here, a man with his family had a confrontation with him. The worker's behavior always very off - not a personality thing, but appears to be a sobriety issue. In the aforementioned man's confrontation, the worker forgot multiple items and wouldn't make it right until the man brought it up, showed his receipt, and made the worker calculate the items which were bought - after the worker gave the man what he was owed, the worker failed to acknowledge their mistake and simply looked at the man with a blank stare. I had a similar issue and called the manager, who wasn't even on site. However, I didn't notice I was missing items until I drove home. The manager wouldn't even say "sorry about that" they simply said they would talk to the staff and that I should go back to pick up the items THEY failed to provide. I went back, and the same gentleman with the inconsistent, non-sober appearing behavior said he didn't hear anything from his manager and I had to call the manager AGAIN. If it isn't the poor behavior from the dude working there, the chick in the back with the sour attitude also fails every box of customer service. I'll never return. This was a great place when the original owner was running the show, now it's just bad.
