Firstly, I met MackBox cakes at the 3rd Thursdays in Treat in August & it was hard to ignore. He was calm, collected & kind. His setup was quaint and clean. Very patient with me because I wanted to know all about the ingredients due to my nut allergy. His service is excellent as he told me everything I needed to know. I chose the Ube cake with white chocolate. When I brought it home to my Filipina mom, she was amazed!!! It's honestly the best I've cake we've ever had! Not dry nor did Mack cut corners! I'm shocked he's not at more venues! All the farmers & nite markets have to get him! Mack, please get yourself on Goldbelly.com right now! Many people need to try your tropical & essential flavors! Your talents red to be on Goldbelly because Filipino baked goods goes beyond just Red Ribbon! You're is the GOLD STANDARD!!! As a semi Pinay, please do us all a favor and feed us your wonderful baked goods! read more

first time tasting Mack box cookies. We saw that there was a pop-up at one of our favorite ice cream places in San Francisco. The service was good as the guy was just setting up the pop-up here in Garden creamery. I tasted the hojicha cookie and it was more like a dark chocolate chip cookie without much flavoring of the roasted tea read more

Couldn't bear lowering his rating. A couple of weeks ago, this new maker was listed and featured on Pastel. In seeing the menu, I didn't hesitate in adding an item to the other foods that I already planned to order for that particular week. I waited two or three days before I finally tried the chocolate expresso mousse (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=RWWw0P00vXzGo_Qh7LmnOg&userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q). described as follows "Chocolate cake, chocolate-espresso mousse, Bailey's chocolate glaze, cacao nib chocolate croustillant, vanilla chantilly, tempered dark chocolate decor". Let's just say that it tasted as good as it looked. This is definitely a fine dining restaurant quality creation and a definite must try if you are a chocolate coffee fan. It was interesting to learn that he used to bake at one of my longtime regular business lunch and celebratory dinner spots in town. This maker is now on my radar and I look forward to seeing his other offerings. read more

I've followed MackBox on Instagram for a while and have ordered various assorted boxes over the years. Each time I try one of Mack's creations, I feel complete satisfaction. It's abundantly clear how talented and creative he is, and just how much passion he pours into each and every single thing he makes. After getting the runaround for months from another local baker (totally our fault for putting up with it), and with less than a week before our wedding, I pivoted to MackBox which is where my then fiance and I should have gone in the first place. As a Filipino-American, I really wanted to highlight flavors from my heritage and I knew Mack would knock it out of the park. Even though he already had quite a stacked weekend, Mack got back to me quickly with his availability and even an offer to deliver directly to my venue if the timing and distance was right (it was, thankfully). For our 150-ish person wedding, we ordered the following: Milk tea cups - 4 dozen Strawberry matcha cookies - 3 dozen Ube white chocolate cookies - 3 dozen Kalamansi meringue cupcake (mini) - 4 dozen Fast forward to the wedding day... I did not think my fiance and I would be another casualty after being warned by other couples, but we did not get to taste a single one of the desserts lol. Our guests had an absolute ball, though, and to us, that's what matters the most. I also really appreciate that Mack prepped info cards for each item that listed the main elements and also potential allergens. Also, he was so very generous to give us upgraded kalamansi meringue cupcakes in cute individual cups with domed lids that our guests could take home as favors, and also more than full-sized, too. I look forward to trying more of Mack's creations this year and beyond. If you're a bride, or just something throwing a party/wanting to treat yourself or someone else, don't bother looking anywhere else! read more

Mack is awesome. I truly see and taste the effort he puts into his desserts. I've ordered both his mackbox as well as a custom birthday cake. I could definitely see and taste craftsmanship put into each dessert! Not to mention his lettering for my bf's cake was so beautiful! He also makes this chex mix that's to die for. The sweet savory umami flavor will have you straight up addicted! check out his Instagram, he offers pick up and drop offs for a fee. The pick up location is a little hard to find as all the houses kind of look the same, but I called him and he was able to help direct me. Definitely one of the better and more responsive bakers WFH that I've dealt with. I appreciate the quick and prompt replies. Sometimes you just don't have the time to chase down the people you want to purchase from.. Mack usually responds within the day! read more

The presentation of the box is really really cute and it has a cute box that is a great gift. I definitely recommend this place for desserts since its all personalized. The biggest downsides to this business is that it seems as tho the owner sells from his home and doesn't have a lot of parking for people to come during his pickup time which is a 1 hour window. The response time from the owner is very professional and responds in a timely manner if you have any special requests. The items i got from his aloha goodie themed box was advertised on his Instagram and thata how I made my decision to get this snack box. read more

I decided to splurge this time for our anniversary cake since we weren't planning on having a super fancy dinner to celebrate our anniversary and was not up to baking my own. We celebrated with my sister, her hubby and daughter, so we could share this special cake with them. A four layer six inch cake is a lot of cake and perfect for sharing. Though I found Mack on Instagram, I ordered his cake via email and paid for it via Square. He emailed me his menu which has a nice selection of cakes but I ended up asking him if he could make one of the cakes he posted on IG for me. The hubby is not a fan of red beans so the Ube cake on the menu would not suit him. I ordered the 6 inch Ube Sponge, Ube Buttercream, Coconut Buttercream, Caramel and Ganache cake with a Marble finish a couple of weeks before I needed it. He's very busy with cakes and his snack boxes, so inquire and order ahead. We picked up the cake from his house in Oakland on a Saturday afternoon. It was nicely packaged. It looked incredible, so beautiful! Tasted great too. The Ube sponge is very light and both buttercreams were delicious. Everyone really enjoyed it especially me. I'm a baker myself so I have very discriminating taste! :) The Marble finish is just so impressive. You wouldn't think a six inch cake would be that much but it is. We ate some with the fam, left a huge slice for them and ate it for 3 more days. Definitely worth the price. I would totally love to order another cake from him! I'd also love to try one of his snack boxes as well. read more

The one thing I'm actually thankful for during this whole Covid-19 pandemic is how it introduced me to so many amazing food entrepreneurs out there. MackBox is one the top ones, with great branding and marketing of his desserts, making you want to order more each time. His extremely creative items with Filipino and French influence are downright genius. His boxes have a nice assortment which makes it hard not to eat all of the items in one sitting. The one item that I keep a watch for is his turon pie. Omg, there's a party in my mouth with that one. I'm hoping to try one of his cakes in the future, when I have enough people around to share it with. Check him out and follow him on IG! read more

Got their box of goodies and everything was delicious. My favorites include the Chex mix with their seasoning/flavor and the ube butter mochi. The thought and quality of the treats are exquisite and thoughtfully done. Fortunately, delivery was available, and we were able to get these treats delivered in a timely manner when we ordered ahead of time. Everything looked and tasted amazing. Will plan to perhaps try other items as well. read more

I've picked up a habit... a Mackbox snackbox I'd like another box in a big box habit! I've never been so delightfully surprised until a birthday of mine during COVID prompted a dear sister friend of mine to gift me a delivery of the Mackbox. The contained goodies weren't in the box for long... From the ube cookies to the brownies to the cupcakes to the furikake chexmix to the hazelnut puff and the blondie bars! Ugh! I just love how carefully crafted and made with love these items tasted! I ordered for myself and found the price to be very reasonable to include delivery from the baker himself... and for the meticulously packaged yumminess... including a well thought of menu and description printes out. I was so lucky to have gotten a box. This business is definitely worth an IG follow and a box reservation if you find your sweet tooth throbbing for a satisfying sugary selection! read more

What can you order from MackBox and not love? From entremets, cakes, to his signature chexmix, there has not been anything I do not love. Mack really brings his Filipino heritage inti all of the treats and takes so much care and pride in everything he makes. Super communicative, professional, and friendly. If you get a chance to order anything from him, don't hesitate. Especially when he has his special curated dessert boxes. read more

I am a HUGE fan of MacBox! I have bought the Kitty (tropical cake) and Champurado Cream Pie! It is soooo delicious! The texture, flavors, size, and more are well balanced. Slices of heaven I must say! The furikake mix is sooo tasty too! I just placed my order for the Arnielyn cake. I can't wait to try! Maraming salamat Mack! You're the best! read more

SO. GOOD. The Ring of Fire Chex Mix is something I crave DAILY. Literally everything was fantastic and seeing all the new different things going into boxes is amazing. I can't wait until I'm able to order these across the country! The packaging looks great, it was exciting to open and see what was inside. Even the bags are compostable and recyclable which is awesome for getting away from single use plastics. Get one. You certainly won't regret it. read more

DELICIOUS TREATS! If you're in the Bay Area and ever want some scrumptious treats, I highly recommend. The MackBox is a such a great gift for someone (of yourself) Some of my favorites include the furikake mix, cookies and the mochi bar. I've also had the opportunity to try some of his cakes and they're so good. The flavors are delicious! read more

My sister decided to try this place in an effort to support local businesses and I'm thankful that she did. We ordered a matcha strawberry cake, salted caramel brownies, ube mochi, and a Chex mex bag. I'd like to point out that MackBox's descriptions of their products are way more enticing and beautiful than how I'm describing. The matcha cake was sweet! Mild matcha flavor and it was beautiful! The matcha glaze was so shiny it made the dessert look so elegant. The sponge cake was nice and soft and the strawberry gel inside was smacking! It was beautifully decorated with airy sweet cream, crunchy rice pearls and delicate red velvet chocolate chips. Did I mention the gold flake? There's a sprinkle of gold flake and I couldn't be more delighted. The brownies and mochi were very precisely cut and bagged and the seasoning of the "Chex mix" coated each and every piece with sweet, spicy furikake-esqe seasoning. I appreciate that because seeing the flavor cover every part of this mix makes it look like they took their time seasoning instead of throwing everything in a bag and shaking it--which is okay too, but the way these snacks look, I'm imagining the chef taking their time and laying out each pretzel, each Chex, each crunchy rice mochi on a sheet pan side by side, and giving each piece their own shower of seasoning. To me, it looks like they invested so much time in crafting their product and I really appreciate the time, energy, and love invested into each product. Our desserts came boxed in a beautiful, sleek, black cardboard box, and each dessert was placed inside so neatly! Whoever said "if you sell a product, packaging is part of the experience," hor something like that), they were right! It was truly an exciting experience to open our MackBox and treat ourselves to homemade, gourmet desserts, delivered to us in DALY CITY from Oakland. Everything from ordering, to customer service, to delivery, to packaging, to the actual dessert was outstanding. Girl, it knocked me out. Honestly, for this price point, you won't get this anywhere else. I felt like I went to the House of Prime Rib or Muriel's in New Orleans, (or whatever restaurant you think is hella fancy), but for fancy desserts that are delivered to you. Thank you MackBox! #sMackBox #supportlocal #bayarea #oakland read more

MackBox is great at parties and special occasions because everything looks like fine art and tastes amazing. You have to see the pictures on Instagram.com/MackBox_ . MackBox does right by the classic flavors but also knows when to add a little something else. Everything is made fresh and with the best ingredients. There's always a great selection between the various flavors of cakes, bon bons, cookies, chex mix, blondies, popcorn, cupcakes, and brownies. MackBox is food made with love to share with the ones you love. read more

Really happy with the cupcakes and working with Mack! Really easy to place orders and communicate with him and there are options for pick up and/or delivery. And the goodies- yum! 100% enjoyed by family and friends. I have only tried the cupcakes which have great flavor, aesthetic appeal, and have the right amount of sweetness in my opinion. The most popular flavors are HellaHaloHalo and Hella Chocolate, but I don't think you can go wrong with any of them! Also vegan options! Looking forward to trying more items and flavors! read more

FURIKAKE WHITE TRUFFLE CHEX MIX FOR THE WIN. Everyone needs to try these. They are so good I bought 40 bags in about 1.5 months. And everyone who has tried these are obsessed as well. Not too sweet with an interesting fun taste and a great crunch. For starters I highly recommend the subscription snack box. $30 for a sampler of very unique dessert snacks and delivery. I have to hold myself back from eating everything at once. =) I have yet to try everything but my favs include the chex mix, chocolate mousse cake and the s'more cookie. read more

Just yum yum desserts and they deliver! A great gift delivery if you have any friends with birthdays during quarantine! read more

MackBox.. WOW. Not only are his desserts super delicious, Mack is also very responsive and punctual when it comes to deliveries. This mousse cake is the best I've ever had. It has the perfect balance of flavors and textures, which is hard to perfect but he got it down! What I loved is that he checked in the next day to see how I liked my order. Don't sleep on this guy, he knows his stuff! read more

I've ordered 1 Snack Box and 1 pumpkin cheesecake from MackBox and they were both hits! I ordered the MackBox and the variety in the box was a great surprise. The pumpkin cheesecake was such a hit at my family's thanksgiving dinner, PLUS he dropped it off to me so i wouldn't have to worry about it with my other holiday errands. I would recommend MackBox to anyone who's interested in supporting local business and enjoys top notch customer service!! Thank you so much Mack! read more

Okay, I have been looking to support businesses through COVID-19 and I'm so glad I found Mack through instagram (follow all the goodies at @mackbox_ on insta). The desserts in each weekly snackbox are really, really good. The ube mochi was moist and bouncy and I was lucky enough to snag a milky tea entremet which is one of the best desserts I've had in a long, long time. The hype around the furikake chex mix is based in reality. It's addicting. Mack does contactless deliveries to South SF, Daly City, SF, Oakland, Berkeley and Alameda--but I live out in Dublin so I drove in to Oakland to pick the box up. Totally worth it. read more

I was so lucky that my partner got me a cake from MackBox for my birthday. It was the "HellaHaloHalo" cake. I have never received such a special, unique, creative, and beautiful cake. The layers had jackfruit and red beans in them (jackfruit is my favorite!), and the base was surrounded in white chocolate pearls (each one hand placed). You wouldn't find a cake as beautiful as this from any bakery, because it is more a work of art than just a dessert. It made me feel so special!!! read more

We were introduced to Mackbox from a friend who sent us a box during the beginning of shelter in place . We loved the goodies so much we ordered another box the following week and could not resist ordering extra Furikake Chex mix! Recently, we were in search of getting my in-laws a cake for their wedding anniversary and so we decided to order the Kitty Cake. The cake looks beautiful when I picked it up and also tasted amazing! I love the passion fruit ganache and mango buttercream. Mack was also super nice and responsive. We will definitely order from Mack again! read more

Vegan hella halo halo cupcakes and regular hella halo halo cupcakes were amazing. Definitely will be ordering and recommending again.

MackBox does not disappoint! :) Not only is Mack an innovative baker who comes up with the most delicious combinations of flavors, he is incredibly professional and so easy to work with. We have ordered his weekly Mackbox treat box, as well as birthday cakes, cupcakes, and a la cart catering items (chex mix and cookies) from him in the past and it is always on point and so delicious. We have gotten so many compliments on his desserts, I highly suggest working with him for any of your sweet treat needs. read more

First, let's talk about the MackBox, it's a box of joy with quality treats. The creativity and craftsmanship is impressive every time you pop open the box. Then, the cupcakes...Good luck trying to eat just one, I mean for breakfast.

Everything from MackBox is so delicious and beautiful. I have to stop myself from over ordering because I want literally everything is available and share it with everyone I know! McKoy is the owner and he is such a wonderful person, not only great customer service but also genuinely a good person to know. I have ordered a bunch of the ube mochi dessert to send to my family in LA because it was too good not to share. And during shelter in place, I ordered the brownies and more ube mochi to send to my friends around the bay since we don't get to see each other anymore. They ship well. They are also not overly sweet so you can eat more and feel good about it :D. Thank you for opening your business McKoy, now I have a go to pastry chef. read more

If you haven't tried a MackBox yet, you're missing out! I'm a big Xxtra Flaming Hot Cheetos fan, if you are too then you'll def enjoy the Ring of Fire Chex Mix.

He is also environmentally friendly with all of the packaging details :). read more
