    A simply decorated taiwanese cafe located in northern Blvd. There were a few tables that's got seating for a few small parties; may be a bit difficult if you're a large party. The cafe was pretty calming though. Service was quick and they had pastries and cakes although I wished for a wider range if variety. Maybe there were less variety cuz we went on a Sunday. A lot of other restaurants were closed on Sundays there. We got the hot matcha latte and a hazelnut brownie cake slice. Matcha latte was nice and felt like the cake was not sweet enough even as an Asian who prefers things to be not too sweet. Didn't get to try the other pastry in the pic but my friend loved it.

    A place for cheesecake lovers. They have an assortment of different flavors here. Some pretty interesting. I prefer regular cake but unfortunately since we came in at the end of the day, there wasn't many choices left. If you're into pound cake, they have it in many different flavors. I tried the ube. Flavor is faint which is ok, but texture is a bit roughly dense. I prefer it smoother. Tried the black sesame roll cake slice. It was pretty good, with a distinct sesame taste. I'd definitely go back and get more of this. This flavor also comes as a full roll cake if it's still available. And as always with sesame flavor, you really have to like that flavor to like this. Seating. There is about 6-8 small tables here, with clear plastic chairs. Service: quick and efficient. Ambiance. Not that good as far as noise. Unfortunately there is a constant some sort of equipment rumbling. Maybe it's the AC? You don't notice it right away, but when you sit down to relax, you notice it in the background. There is a beautiful crystal orb rolling in a bath of running water, for your viewing pleasure. Mesmerizing. It's huge. Maybe bowling ball size or a bit smaller. Right by the front door. I'd come back for more roll cakes. And the chocolate cake looked pretty good.

    Pastries and cakes here are simply amazing, and they're always fresh. The family-owned business is run by incredibly welcoming and friendly employees. I've been a regular customer for a few times now, and every dish I've tried has been great. Totally recommend it.

    Cakes available.

    My daughter brought me a cake from this bakery and it was delicious!! She order a chocolate strawberry cake. It was beautiful, fluffy and moist. The whipped cream was so light and just the right amount of sweetness. We cut the cake at a restaurant and when the sitters packed up the leftovers, all I can think of was when I was gonna have another slice! Don't sleep on this place. They also sell buns and individual pastries but I always go too late and there is not much left. Will definitely be going back to order more cake!!

    Chocolate strawberry shortcake, yummy!

    I was very surprised. My wife bought me a vanilla flavor piece of cake from Karat. While it seemed fluffy, the cake it self was a bit dense, not much flavor, i had the same type of cake from other bakers and it usually has a hint of vanilla and a bit of sugar. Clearly this one was just a one flat note cake. Shame because just 3 weeks ago we bought a strawberry chocolate cake and that cake was very good. So good that we have ordered a cake for next week. Hard to understand hownthey can be inconsistent in producing baked goods

    After being a loyal customer of Yehs bakery, which is a close to the heart favorite, I came here to get a birthday cake. The service was very good, they accommodate flavor requests and designs. They make their cakes to order so they taste very fresh. All their cake designs are cute and they take pride in making the designs. The interior is very clean and cute. I would definitely return!

    I deserved a sweet treat today and I decided to go to Karat Confections. I got the heavy cheesecake, hazelnut chocolate cheese cake, and chocolate pound cake. My favorite was the hazelnut cheesecake. I would go back for a hazelnut cheesecake and a drink! The service was really good And they're really nice! Overall, not a bad spot.

    A new bakery in a competitive area. Everything I have tried here so far has been outstanding both in taste and quality. Whether you order through delivery or are able to drop by in person, this spot does not disappoint! Truly a heaven for your sweet tooth.

    Beautiful and delicious birthday cake! They used fresh fruits and fresh cream.

    Beautiful FRESH delicious cake! The worker there was very nice and helpful in helping me choose and design my cake.

I deeply appreciate the…read moreartistry that goes into making these fruit-looking desserts that bring the taste to life. The Mango and Pistachio looked so realistic and mirrored the flavors perfectly. I love the size of their cakes which are perfect to share with a group of 4. I indulged in their Black Sesame Mochi Cake and Blueberry Chiffon Cake which both have the fluffiest sponge cake base, a fluffy vibrant cream, and fresh ingredients and fruit. Give their drinks a try too. I enjoy their matcha here! The Traffic Lights is a strawberry matcha with a mango cream top. And I also tried their Black Sesame Latte but substituted the espresso for matcha and loved this customized pairing. FYI, there is no bathroom!

    Finally decided to try this place after walking by it for years. I refused to try this in the past,…read morebecause I didn't like how many items they put on display. It felt like items weren't made with care and mass produced at a factory or something. I went 10 minutes before they closed and there was still 10+ of each dessert. I'm not convinced that they will dispose of them. Even if they do, it means they didn't do a good job in forecasting demand especially after being in business for multiple years. I ordered mango and yuzu. Both were too sweet and had one dimensional flavor and textures, not refreshing per their stated flavors. Even if their appearances take effort, they don't look pretty enough for me to forgive what goes in my mouth. I'm used to having patisseries with many layers and elements. Mango's sponge probably only took up 20% of the bottom, because I barely had bites of it. Most of my bites didn't have any. I didn't like how liquid the filling was. It didn't exactly ooze out but just melted into a puddle in my mouth. Yuzu looks pretty with the pink and yellow glaze, but it didn't go with the realistic fruit theme. I chose it for the flavor combination which is strawberry, yuzu, and guava. This was slightly better in terms of flavor variety in the mouth. The flower on top had a weird off putting flavor. The bottom crispy rice apparently is supposed to be chocolate but it came out plain. It was tasteless anyway, so not effective in terms of flavor or texture.

I had to run to work after an appointment so I ordered for takeout. The person taking my order was friendly. I opted for the Lumberjack and a black cold brew. I received the drink very quickly, with a short wait for the sandwich. While waiting, one member of the staff stocking up supplies on the side started chatting with me and then she offered to check up on my sandwich. She came out with it shortly thereafter. She was very friendly and helpful. The sandwich held up well during my 15-minute commute to the office. It is a really indulgent sandwich, with each bite revealing the sweetness and butteriness of the maple crueller, the saltiness of the thick cut bacon, and the savoriness of the cheese and the eggs as the yolks popped. I sipped the cold brew in between bites to cut the richness. It was a very satisfying meal. The Lumberjack is not something I would recommend you eat every day, but it's good as an occasional treat. In the past I've ordered lunch from Daily Provisions via delivery (the "Chefy" salad and the chicken milanese with arugula salad are my favorites), but I might start adding other breakfast sandwiches to the mix.

    What a delightful surprise! After working late and attending an event after work, one of my…read morecoworkers suggested we stop here because they loved their cookies. I had never heard of the place before, but I was happy to give it a try -- and I'm so glad I did. From the moment you walk in, the experience feels special. The store has two beautiful double doors that create such a grand entrance, and once inside, you immediately feel the energy. The place was bustling with people, and everyone seemed happy and excited -- from the customers to the team behind the counter and the baristas. The cookie case was overflowing with so many amazing choices that it was hard to decide! I ended up getting the Rocky Road cookie, a Double Chocolate Chip cookie, a Two Chip Chocolate Chip cookie, and a blueberry muffin to enjoy for breakfast the next morning. The service was absolutely impeccable, and everyone I interacted with was warm, friendly, and delightful. When I got home, I had half of the Rocky Road cookie with a cup of tea, and it was incredible. The cookie was large and chunky but still perfectly enjoyable -- not heavy or overwhelming. It literally melted in my mouth. The chocolate was rich and smooth, and every bite was just delicious. The next morning, I tried the blueberry muffin, and it was just as impressive. It was light and airy, not overly sweet like many blueberry muffins can be. It truly felt like a breakfast pastry. The blueberries tasted fresh and burst with flavor in every bite. I will definitely be back for more cookies. This was such a wonderful find, and I'm so happy my coworker introduced me to this place!

I will say that I didn't think I would like this cookie at all since usually I like thinner crunchier cookies. But holy cow!! I was blown away by the crispy edges and the interior wasn't too soft gooey either. The chocolate and walnuts added to the cookie enhanced the flavor even more! For such a big cookie the middle was cooked perfectly. Very chunky and sizable cookie too so I ate it throughout the day rather than one sitting!!

The quality of the shot was excellent, smooth, bright, and really clean. The bar setup itself is super unique and very minimalist. They are running a really interesting under the counter espresso machine where the main bulk of the equipment is hidden away, leaving just these sleek, minimal group heads rising up from the counter. It was my first time seeing a machine of that style in person, and it looks incredibly sharp. I would absolutely come back here next time I'm in the area.
