    Enzo cake, yum
    Caterina B.

    I decided to get the Enzo (Dubai chocolate kind) cake for my birthday, and I was so happy with my decision! I have rarely ever finished a birthday cake so fast, and with so much joy! I will be getting more cakes from Lilou! The lady is super kind, very responsive, and the cake is so worthy, plus it comes very elegantly presented. I am usually hesitant to order cakes, as I usually prefer to bake my own, but this one "takes the cake " I can't wait to order again from Lilou!

    Beautiful packaging
    Bella S.

    Overall, a very good experience with a home-based bakery. I would give it 4.5/5!!! Service and communication from beginning to end was fantastic - friendly and responsive. Kudos for this "amateur" bakers (as they call themselves) for putting their goodies out there for others to try. I think it's a wonderful idea. Their cakes are definitely unique and have not been seen anywhere else. It's always nice to try something unique and support local, private businesses. My partner and I decided to try their cakes in celebration for the New Years. Love the packaging - very professional-like! 1. Pistachio Brooklyn Cheesecake (5/5) This is a seasonal cake that we had the opportunity to indulge in. It's rich (from the pistachio butter) and creamy, but not overly sweet. They were extremely generous with the pistachios that were packed on top of the cake. The cheesecake itself was smooth and airy. The crispy kadaifi (shredded phyllo dough) were like crunchy fireworks in the mouth. 2. The Hobie Coffee cake (3/5) This came was unique to say the least. I love the coffee flavor and that it's light/airy, but overall, it felt more like eating a wafer than a cake. It's mostly dry cake crumbs and crunchy hazelnut meringue. Love the touch of coffee beans on top! 3. The Enzo Cake (3.5/5) This was the most aesthetically pleasing of the 4 cakes we got. It's their version of a decadent chocolate cake topped with a pistachio butter filling and crispy toasted kadaifi (shredded phyllo dough), finished with a layer of crackable chocolate disk Overall, this cake was chocolatey and crunchy, but yet sweet and sticky. We felt it was bit too complicated with too many flavors going on. The salted pistachio toffee on top was a nice touch! And breaking that chocolate disc was fun. 4. The Charlie Cake (5/5) If you're a chocolate lover, I recommend this over the Enzo. This is just a river of chocolate goodness. Once you crack that chocolate disc, the inside is flowing with rich, decadent, fudgy Belgian chocolate. The chocolate was not too sweet and it had a good velvety texture to it. Very moist as well. What an experience that our taste buds had!

    The cake was a hit! Perfectly balanced sweetness, rich and decadent chocolate, pistachios and an incredibly smooth, velvety texture -- every bite felt indulgent and elegant. This will surely be a staple in every special occasion!

    I moved out of LA this past May, but still come back periodically for work so this time I am in town I went back to Lilou and it was still just as amazing! Love your desserts they're so yummy, seriously haven't found anywhere that compares.

    Enzo "Dubai chocolate"
    Nina N.

    Get the ENZO "Dubai Chocolate" It is perfection not overly sweet; amazing crunch I met Chris, she is a passionate smiley hardworking owner. Pre-order ahead. This was my first purchase and I am in LOVE! Support them!!

    Enzo 3inch cake
    Chantel D.

    I ordered the Enzo 3 inch cake and picked it up within the hour. It was the perfect amount for a sweet treat. I ate mine with some strawberries and vanilla ice cream. Highly recommend!

    Dang Lilou just made my mouth explode with excitement! My sil sisters told me about this spot and how delicious the cakes are. So my fatass placed an order the same night with a morning pickup the next day. Customer service was excellent, even though I messaged late in the wee hours, they still answered me lol. At first I thought "hmm a little pricey" but after tasting them, these cakes are priceless!! My favorite is the ube, the chocolate is hella rich. Cakes aren't too sweet and the perfect consistency. My only regret is not getting a large Ube. Show some love to this minority woman owned business and place your order today!!!

    Regular Enzo and a mini Charlie
    Oatmeal S.

    A bit skeptical at first, but totally well worth it. Owner was communicative and super accommodating for pick up. Texted me the day before and day of to confirm. I actually ubered from the airport just to pick these up! The cake itself was moist, decadent, and delicious. Both the Enzo and Charlie are a chocolate lovers dream. The toasted kadaifi made all the difference in the Enzo. Can't say I've had anything like it before. The cakes are pretty pricey, but bound to be a hit for any special occasion. Highly recommend if you can plan in advance!

    Enzo and cody cakes

    I've had this bookmarked forever but finally got to try it! I couldn't believe I was able to order same day, and actually pick up in less than an hour! I ordered the Cody Cake and the Enzo cake. They were crazy good! The Cody Cake was rich without it being too sweet, and if you're a matcha fan you'd appreciate that you can actually taste the matcha without it being bitter! Great balance. My friends and I also loved the crunch of the Enzo cake. It was indulgent but in all the best ways. I loved the variety of textures in this! It was super easy to order (I messaged on Yelp and was directed to her website). Loved the quick service!

    OMG chocolate lovers?
    Evelyn E.

    This is Dangerously delicious...... seriously! Not only the best cake I've had in my life but they're so sweet ! The reason I initially chose this bakery is because of their amazing hours! Very convenient.....

    Ube flavor
    Aly L.

    You've got to try this chocolate fudge cake. It's a flavor explosion. Richest cocoa cake you've ever tasted, but with a twist. There's a hint of high quality green tea matcha on top adding depth to every bite. I also like the Ube one. It has a unique creamy taste to it that balances all the flavors together. It's moist and so addictive. Trust me if you're craving something unique and delish this fudge cake is where it's at. All my friends love them whenever I bring some to them.

    The Enzo "Dubai Chocolate Cake". THE BEST!!!

    Once I found out there was going to be a Kuromi themed collab here I had sure to mark my calendar,…read moreso I've been looking forward to this! The collab started today and will last until the 31st. The store opens at 7am , but even though I got there around 8:30 and there was no line they still managed to sell out of a majority of the limited edition Kuromi themed pastries. Which was a little heart breaking, but also understandable. I ended up ordering the Kuromi Berry lemonade and some of their more popular items like the D Tia Blue (blueberry/cream cheese filled pastry) and the Japanini. Everything hit the spot as expected, but the highlight of my visit was definitely that berry lemonade! It had the perfect sweet to sour ratio and it looked very whimsical with its purple hue. I'll definitely be back to order that again and maybe I'll have better luck next time with the availability of the limited edition pastries. It wasn't as busy as it typically gets so took advantage of the opportunity and I dined in. During my visit I adored the Kuromi decor around the story. It was definitely picture worthy. They also have the cutest merch available for sale and of course I bought a sticker sheet to add to my sticker collection. The workers also wore pretty purple Kuromi hats and aprons, which is also included in their merch for sale fyi. If you're a Sanrio/Kuromi fan, do yourself a favor and RUN to your nearest Okayama Kobo cafe!

This was my 2nd time trying these and our hopes were high BUT the raspberry was just awful the filling was strange and it had just raspberry jam inside,I dint eat it. The mango was okay so we shared that. The coffee bean was just awful as well so we didn't finish that either. The orange was the best of the group but overall just a disappointing experience once again because these are not cheap. I'm starting to think I might just have to give up my journey to find these although there are some places in Vegas that look promising. I don't think Reno has any bakeries that make these. They look so beautiful but the taste is a let down.

When I arrived, there were only a few mochi in the refrigerator, and the display looked sparse, almost as if only a few were left. The mochi I saw also looked quite different from the photo. I asked whether they had any others, and an employee told me they had been flash frozen and were in the freezer. She brought one out for me. I asked, "Was this made today?" and was told yes, so I bought it. I was very disappointed when I got home and cut it in half. I understand that a handmade dessert won't look exactly like a photo, but this was far from what I had expected. I called the bakery to explain my concern. The person I spoke with did not let me finish explaining and insisted, "That could never happen." She also asked why I was saying that and told me to bring the mochi back. I had gone out of my way to visit early that morning, so being told to make another trip was frustrating. The phone conversation left me more upset than the mochi itself. This was my second visit. I had also had a disappointing experience with a green onion or garlic bread on my first visit, but the Instagram photo made me want to give the bakery another chance. Unfortunately, I left disappointed again. I've attached photos so others can see the mochi I received. 인스타에서 과일 모찌 사진을 보고 너무 먹어보고 싶어서 오늘 아침 8시 9분에 COIN DE RUE Bakery & Cafe에 찾아갔다. 그런데 냉장고에는 모찌가 몇 개밖에 없었다. 진열된 모습도 꼭 며칠 팔다 남은 것처럼 보여서 그때부터 살짝 싸했다. 사진에서 본 모찌와 모양도 많이 달랐다. 다른 모찌는 없냐고 물으니 급냉해서 냉동고에 있다며 꺼내주셨다. "오늘 만든 거예요?" 하고 여쭤보니 그렇다고 하셔서 일단 사 왔다. 그런데 반으로 잘라보는 순간... 실망, 대실망! 아주 그냥 실망실망 대실망이었다. 가게에 전화해서 설명하려는데 내 말은 끝까지 듣지도 않으시고 "절대 그럴 일이 없다", "왜 그러냐", "가지고 오라"는 말씀만 하시더라. 아침 일찍 일부러 찾아가서 산 건데, 이걸 바꾸려고 내가 다시 거기까지 가야 하나? 모찌도 아쉬웠지만 전화 응대 때문에 더 속상했다. 이번이 두 번째 방문인데, 첫 방문 때도 대파빵인가 마늘빵인가를 샀다가 별로 좋지 않은 기억이 있었다. 이번에는 인스타 사진을 보고 기대하며 다시 가본 건데... 완전 대대대실망! 이제 인스타 사진만 보고 달려가서 사지는 말아야겠다. 아침부터 괜히 기분만 상했네~
