We are so lucky that the bakery we found was La Bella Cakery! They were so nice, friendly, and accommodating, but even that took a backseat to the main event: the cake! It was incredible. Moist, delicious, creative, beautiful! The inside layers were all rainbow-colored, each with a corresponding layer of flavor to go with it. For example, the red layer had strawberries and the yellow had lemon curd. At the end of the night, we even scavenged the leftover crumbs when all of the cake had been cut because throwing them away seemed like such a waste of something so amazing. We are so grateful for La Bella Cakery! They are artists who use flour and eggs as their medium.

I have to give Scala Pastry five stars because they make my favorite New York style cheesecake…read moreever. I am not exaggerating! The other cookies and desserts are great, and the prices are very reasonable, but the cheesecake is what will keep me coming back. It's creamy and rich, not too sweet, nor too heavy, and available as a full cake or miniature servings. For years and years, my aunt and uncle always got cheesecake from here when I visited. Unfortunately, the pandemic forced us apart longer than anyone would've liked. I kept saying 'I wish I knew where they got the cheesecake.' Finally, I asked for the name and visited when I was in town. Wow! More than five years later, and the cheesecake was just as good as I remember. I also picked up a struffoli and some assorted cookies. Next time I'll try a hamantaschen, too. And, of course, the cheesecake will always be my go-to dessert here.

Everything that day tasted so fresh and so delicious! The red velvet cake slice was amazing! My husband loved all his cookies too! We loved the bakery so much we came back a few days later unfortunately that day it wasn't nearly as good except for the cookies. I bought a carrot cake slice, a cheesecake/brownie slice and various cookies. The carrot cake slice wasn't that great and tasted a few days old. The brownie part to the cheesecake slice was very good, but the cheesecake on top wasn't that great. We did enjoy the cookies. We came back for a third time on Monday Jan 26, 2026 and I purchased a brownie that tasted a month old at least! It was hard as a brick! Needless to say I didn't eat it! I also bought a chocolate mousse cake slice that was extremely fresh and good. As usual the cookies we purchased were all fresh and very good. All in all this bakery is a mixed bag you don't know if you're going to get something fresh or stale. Everything is either hit or miss. I'd come back again and give it another shot, but I wouldn't come often.

The avocado toast was slightly underwhelming, the round fried eggs on top weirdly throw me off. They just seem more rubbery when they're cooked in a mold like that. The avocado was also slightly bland. The croissant sandwich was the favorite, I really liked the bread. But the salmon was fishy. The lattes were good, not super smooth and silky, but good. The ambiance and the service were impeccable, though! I'll be back for baked goods!

Unfortunately, I didn't get to try any of their pastries, which I see them posting on Instagram all the time. But I will definitely be back to try more drink drinks and all the different pastries that they have to offer! If you're looking for a quiet cozy café, this is 100% a place you need to stop by!!

The small but elegant space features a floral decorated entrance, bold green walls with gilded edges, plush blue chairs, and electronic wall art that shifts images to mix up the mood. The service was fast on a Monday night. My sister had a lychee rose martini that was refreshing and delicious. The sweet and savory palak chaat featured crunchy spinach leaves tossed in a tangy yogurt. The unique chicken 555 features sizzling boneless chicken tossed in a tangy tomato based sauce with spices, ginger, and garlic. The great thing about the menu is that they offer several custom spice level options ranging from mild to medium to spicy to cater to everyone. The dahi baingan consisted of aromatic eggplant cooked in a creamy yogurt based curry. The paneer tikka biryani had tender paneer cubes in a flavorful rice mix. The unique dessert special we had was the ras malai tiramisu with soft spongy tiramisu bites and pistachios in a rose flavored milk with cardamom and saffron. The food is flavorful and healthy with no MSG or artificial food coloring.

This one has an edge with its Palak Chat which is outstanding and it used to be goat curry but no longer as Thumkaa has a great goat curry. And of course a full Bar. So when we want Palak Chat only we visit. Thumkaa however has better service. Their employees have a superb benefit living package and stay longer. Mrs. Kumar used to have great service but many of its staff have left. So you have 3-4 I assume management standing around and even with a bar when you order anything it takes 5+ minutes and re-ordering to be served. Thumkaa management makes a point to come around, especially Sunil. We have met Mrs. Kumar a few times but there is no recognition to guests that come frequently as with Sunil at Thumkaa. Chefs are both good but Ifran at Thumkaa visits with folks. The kheer which was great has changed into something terrible. No rice . No live music and buffet (fine dining). A in food and B in service. B+ atmosphere.
