    Black Forest Cake

    I never order a black Forrest from here. The birthday black Forrest cake just too much cream, the portion of the cream to the cake is way too much. And the cream is not light and not fluffy. Maybe this is because egg shortage, so the cake layer is too thin and using the cream to make it looks taller, to hold it taller, gotta have a more dense cream.... Will suggest to buy mousse cake using egg shortage period.

    Owners are rude and entitled. They parked directly on the sidewalk and inner walkway of the shopping center blocking the way making inaccessible for someone on a wheelchair, and putting kids from the High-school who frequent the Starbucks just a few feet away in danger as the car could roll out. There is a signed right over the car indicating that bikes are not allowed, and yet the owner feels entitled to park his 2 ton vehicle to save himself 10 feet from parking on the street seen just behind him.

    Great decorations but I wish they had told me to be more careful with the cake in the box
    Shinny L.

    Great place to get a last minute custom cake. We ordered the day before (24 hours) and picked it up the next morning. Theres a huge selection for flavors and type of cakes. The cake got some compliments from the adults at the party. However, when I arrived to pick it up the person was still making the cake, which meant the the frosting was not refrigerated. I brought it directly to our birthday party where it sat in the fridge for a couple hours but possibly but then the damage was done - the guy didn't tape the cake down to the box so it shifted and one side was ruined. The front side was still sort of ok- good enough that the kids didn't notice. Also the cake itself was dry- likely thawed from frozen and not fresh. The storefront is not the cleanest inside and they don't have much of other items in the bakery- just a few things here and there. I'm on the fence about trying them again.

    My friend ordered me half a dozen vanilla chiffon cupcakes from here to be delivered at work. The cupcakes came intact in a cute box. Each cupcake had a strawberry and blueberry on top. The cupcakes were pretty good, and I'll be sure to stop by in the future to see what else they offer.

    Guava birthday cake
    Sydney J.

    My partner placed a custom birthday cake order on their website for a guava mousse cake and a message written in Chinese for their mother's birthday. They got called by the baker/store owner when the cake was ready and we went to pick it up; the cake was pretty, and the message written neatly on top. The owner also speaks Cantonese. The guava and mousse in the cake is also quite nice as it adds smoothness and fruity flavor. It contains the spongey parts that you find in a typical cake as well.

    Yum might pastry. We needed a mango cake and were so happy to found pretty one. It was light, sweet and a hint of tart- delish!

    Strawberry Cream Cake for Baby shower
    Palak M.

    Wow !! Their cakes are always so fresh !! One of the nicest bakery in Fremont. They have a variety or breads and snacks, but I mostly go for their cakes. They generally dont keep cakes ready, but prepare fresh for you in 15 mins. Their mousse is melt in mouth. Sponge so soft and fresh. We always enjoy their chocolate and Mango mousse cake. They staff is always nice and friendly. I ordered a special cake for my Sister's baby shower and that turned out perfect. Would always recommend their cakes.

    Taro Bun
    Ed S.

    I've been seeing this bakery/cake shop whenever I go to Lions Supermarket. I finally decided to try them. I and my wife likes the bun and saw several items of buns. We had their chicken, pork, and taro buns. The person who helped us told us the buns were newly cooked. She told us that they also have plain and mung bean buns. The taro bun is delicious. There's a taro inside the bun and since we have a steamer, we were able to eat them warm. The chicken and pork buns are also good. The price for the buns is not expensive and we bought a package of six buns in a plastic package. We also saw several cakes on display and the decorations are fantastic. I liked the way it was made and decorated. You can ask for the flavor of cakes you wanted and they will make it for you. Once we celebrate Bday, anniversary or happy occasion, we will come here and order their cakes We also found a place to enjoy our favorite buns.

    This cake has only tracks , no train !! Really ????
    Beena T.

    Worst bakery ever ; I ordered a birthday cake for my son s 2 nd bday with a Thomas train design on it. They charged me $ 92 for the 1/4 sheet cake mango mouse one. They completely screwed the design ; there was no train only tracks. This was supposed to be custom design cake . Taste wise - it was frozen and not freshly prepared, the shopkeeper speaks only Chinese . They take advantage of not knowing English when comes with service complaints . Terrible experience . I wish I could give no star

    6 strawberry cupcakes

    Stopped by here hoping to pick up some pastries and cupcakes or a cake, but wound up not getting anything. I Door Dashed from this place once and thought the baked goods and cupcakes/cake were good. However, upon coming into the store in person, I had a different perspective. Even though I came here around lunch time, my expectations were shot when I entered a store where pastries didn't appear to be fresh and there were barely any buns visible. The cake rolls were collecting moisture in the open fridge. Also, to add to the oddness, the man working behind the counter is able to whip out any cake you choose from the list in 10 minutes. I read several reviews stating the cakes were frozen and didn't want to believe them, but it's true. The cake I ordered was dry, not moist, and appeared frozen... it was quite disappointing. I was hoping to have another reliable bakery around the area, but I will not be coming back to this location.

    Lovely Mango Mousse Cake
    Rhitu K.

    One of the best mango mousse cake ever! I loved how the cake wasn't overly sweet and the sponge cake was fluffy and soft as well. All the fruits were pretty fresh and tasty too. My boyfriend had placed an online order on Friday and they called him over the weekend to verify the order and my cake was ready on Wednesday in time for the birthday! We loved how they didn't ask for a credit card over the phone, which was very refreshing.

    Dinosaur themed cake
    Nidhi P.

    Picked up a white cake here for a dinosaur themed bday party for a family member. The whipped frosting was AMAZING! The cake was about $150 but the taste was totally worth it. It was super moist. The only one issue we had was the flavoring. We asked for a mango filling cream inside which they forgot. They didn't give a price discount but they offered 2 mango Swiss rolls instead.

    Hurjane V.

    The night before my friend's bday dinner, I realized it was her birthday. I was looking online for a local bakery that I can pick up a cake from, and maybe even have it customized. I've tried Farfalla's mango cake before, but saw online that the guava cake is the way to go! I quickly made a reservation online (there was no time stamp on when the cut off was for preorder), and hoped for the best. Feeling unsure if I would get the cake since there was no confirmation via phone or email, I went to Farfalla the next morning to check-in. I was about to order another cake on the spot, but the lady said they got my order. I came a few hours earlier than what I had made in the notes, but luckily they had the cake ready already, and just added the writing to it. Pro tip 1: check in on Yelp to get a free a macaron! (Might need to make some type of purchase) The cake was a hit! The guave flavor was not too overpowering, and the tartness cut out the sweet. We all enjoyed it, and I would highly recommend! As to why it's a 4 stars? Well, I haven't tried their other things to justify a 5 star yet. Next time! :)

My recommendation is to order your drinks less sweet. It's the perfect level of sweetness. The only tweak I'd make is adding an extra shot of espresso to the coconut coffee. The food, unfortunately, didn't live up to the drinks. I tried a few of the bánh mì sandwiches, and the bread-to-filling ratio was way off. There just wasn't enough filling, and even after ordering extra veggies, it didn't seem like there were actually any extra added. If you're specifically craving a Vietnamese sandwich, I'd recommend driving about a mile up the road to Huong Sandwiches instead. That said, I still want to come back and try more of their food menu because the drinks alone keep bringing me back. The café itself is adorable. I love the modern design and all the greenery throughout the space. It's clean, quiet enough to study or work, and has about 7 small tables, making it ideal for solo visits or small groups of up to four people. I also appreciated the powerful hand dryer in the restroom (it's the little things!) and plenty of parking. Come for the drinks, stay for the atmosphere.
