Came here to get ingredients to make barbacoa Everything was fresh and IDEAL. Friendly staff. Clean place with reasonable prices

flan
Rebecca W.

Well, it looks like it's been over 5 years since my last visit (and review). I really do love this store. The bakery is to your right as soon as you walk in. The flan immediately caught my eye, so I had to buy a slice. They have hot, prepared foods you can order to take to go. In the back corner, there is a fresh juice stand, produce to the left of that and fresh meats in the rear left corner. Whatever Hispanic and Latin foods you may be looking for, they will most likely have it. I was hosting a cooking class event to cook a Mexican dish and they had everything I needed there. My only (minor) complaint is that the store is very cramped, so not a lot of space from when you walk in and the line for the register. So yes, you get really close to other patrons. During COVID, it's not really a store where physical distancing is easy to do, nor is it enforced. There's always easy to find parking, too... always a plus =) I look forward to being back.

I love to shop here. They are well stocked with a huge variety of fruits, veggies, spices etc. They also have a food section where you can actually see them (charcoal) grilling the meat. There is also a bakery inside.

Delicious lunch selections.

I stumbled upon this amazing store on accident, but I'm glad I did. Walking through the doors you are greeted with a wall of beautiful cakes! Cakes that make the famous "Berries Chantilly" look average! Lol The bakery is filled with delicious fresh breads, and pasteries. There's a chilled section with fresh salsa, mago cups and sandwiches. Then there's the Grill!!! You can smell the chicken on the open-flame grill from the doorway. The lunch bar is plentiful and loaded with items I'm ready to try. I decided to grab some rice.The staff was friendly. If you're bi-lingual that would be helpful when reading product labels. The facility is clean and well ooerated. There is only one entrance for customers. The meat market is housed in the back of the store. You can find anything from ox tails to gulf shrimp at low prices. The produce section is loaded to capacity with beautiful fruits and vegetables. This is an alternative to Whole Foods if you ask me. Great experience! Highly recommended.

Red beans with rice, cassava which taste kinda like a potato, and a stew pork feet and tripe that was literally melting in mouth.

Cake Goddess - Disappointment

Was slated to attend a local bakeries Yelp event, but got inundated with grad school work and…read morecouldn't make it. The local bakery didn't offer delivery to my place, but Cake Goddess did and oh my stars! This was my first time trying Cake Goddess and it certainly won't be the last! I tasted a bite of every single thing I ordered and everything was divine. However, my absolute favorites would have to be the fresh strawberry cupcake and the carrot cake cupcake! You can't go wrong!

I hate writing negative reviews because the cakes at Cake Goddess truly are delicious. However,…read moretheir customer service and policies have completely changed my mind about ever ordering from them again. I placed an order on a Thursday for a very simple 8-inch cake -- no fondant, just basic icing. Only two hours later, I called to change the pickup date and was told the "process had already been started," so absolutely no changes or refunds could be made. For such a simple cake order, that response felt unreasonable and inflexible, especially given how quickly I called back. A little customer service and understanding would have gone a long way. It's disappointing because the quality of the cakes is excellent, but policies like this make customers feel unvalued. Unfortunately, this experience will keep me from ordering from them again.

Every visit to Sweet Society fills me with such joy! The inside is aesthetically pleasing (for all…read moreyou photo takers) and extremly clean. The staff are very friendly and will help you navigate through the menu if you need any help! The front of the store is also stocked with fun and yummy asian snacks and plushies haha so make sure to bring your wallet when you come!! So enough about the inside and staff, the food is PHENOMENAL! I have such a sweet tooth it's not even funny. My fav taiyaki pocket filling are the chocolate and the custard ones and everytime I visit, they're cooked the same, so I can go in expecting to bite into a crispy outside layer and a warm, fluffy layer inside. The ube ice cream is def one of my favs there as well. It's not overly sweet (even my friend who isn't a fan of sweets loved it!) and has such a smooth texture. The fruit lemonade is both pretty to look at and very refreshing to drink. I love drinking this while studying!! If you're lactose intolerant, don't worry, Sweet Society has you covered too! They have lactose free ice cream and bingsu! I have yet to try the bingsu, so it's def something that I will be trying during my next visit. Also, if you're a Kpop stan, this is the place for you. They play Kpop all day (I love ittt) and even have cute little fan events!

Although the prices are a bit steep, the portion sizes are quite hefty and I'm convinced that this…read moreplace exists solely to fulfill my nostalgic cravings for Korean deserts They have an amazing bingsu selection that includes mango, strawberry, watermelon, and oreo flavors. And fish-shaped taiyaki or bunggeobang pastries that feature custard or red bean filling--warm and sweet with a crispy exterior. The ube cookies were the only items that didn't blow my mind as the ube flavor was lost amongst the food coloring and white chocolate chips. The ube ice cream however was solid, with a mild and lightly sweet earthy flavor similar to taro or matcha. 8/10 recommend especially if you've never had bingsu or ube. My favorite was definitely the fish-shaped pastries, a very impressive replication of the Asian street snacks sold in the wintertime.
