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.

Nice packaging

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.

Halo halo mousse cake

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!

Ube mochi butter
Holly L.

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.

my bday gift that started it all

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!

Furikake mix
Tracy C.

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!

Justin G.

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.

November's Mackbox
Lynn L.

WARNING: the white truffle furikake chex mix is addicting af. I also love the brown butter blondie with white chocolate and macadamia nuts. Everything I've tried from MackBox has been so good! I follow his IG: mackbox_ to keep tabs on what's being added to his menu next and suggest you do the same :)

Beautiful food and packaging! Surprised my friend for her birthday who has been wanting to try MackBox!
Shelby C.

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!

Jan S.

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!

Pumpkin Cheesecake
Tiffany W.

I've ordered two different Mack Boxes and a pumpkin cheesecake and everything was perfect! Not only is it insanely delicious and well-made, the packaging is perfect for making an easy gift as well. I brought the cheesecake to a friendsgiving and it was an absolute hit with all my friends! He has a talent for matching flavors together in an amazing way, while also making them look professional and beautiful! Did I mention the turnaround time is also fast?? 10/10 stars for Mack if I could!

Mackbox featuring: brownies, white chocolate matcha cookies, milky tea entremet, furikake chex mix.

We went mainly for drinks and tried a latte, tiramisu latte, and a Spanish latte. The tiramisu latte and Spanish latte were both really good and definitely my favorites. Smooth, flavorful, and not overly sweet. You can tell the coffee quality is solid. We also tried the matcha drinks in vanilla and strawberry. I liked the strawberry matcha more. It comes unsweetened, so I asked for it to be sweetened and it was great after that. The vanilla matcha was fine too, just not my top pick. They're also dropping a new Ramadan drink soon, a date latte, which sounds really good and I'll probably come back just to try that. Overall, great drinks and a nice place to hang out.

I loved the ambiance, it felt we was in another country. The place was packed I have no idea where everyone parked haha. Very hard to find parking. The Adeni Chai I had was wonderful and I would get again. The lemon pastries I had were good & I would possibly get again. Both cheese pastries & meat pocket I didnt care for so much. I undetstand they are an acquired taste but me being Middle Eastern we have our own versions and I think that's why I didn't like as much. I would definitely go back and try more sweet pastries. They had a large selection I couldn't try them all haha. I would love to try more tea and coffee options as well. Go and try out several different pastries and discover what you like. It's cheaper than buying an airplane ticket to try another countries culture and delights. They also have outside seating which is especially nice on a beautiful day. Pro tip: take an Uber if you can. Parking is hard to get.

We arrived late after dinner, but the cafe was still packed around 8 PM. We were fortunately able to be seated right away. We were celebrating a birthday, so we ordered a few different desserts to try - mango sticky rice bingsu, Japanese yuzu cheesecake, and chocolate truffle cake - with a couple of sparklers to mark the occasion. Minutes after we had placed our order, the server brought out our treats with much fanfare and a celebratory birthday song - and the whole restaurant joined in the singing and clapping. I've tried the mango sticky rice bingsu before - it was as tasty and refreshing as I remembered it. While decadent, the yuzu cheesecake was pleasantly tart and refreshing and paired well with the matcha ice cream. I tried a bite of the chocolate truffle cake - it was super decadent. The cafe continued to stay packed throughout the evening - the line even stretched out the door as we were leaving. I'm sure we'll be back to celebrate the next birthday soon.

Their bingsu is honestly one of my favorites here it's shaved ice and it's super fluffy and creamy without feeling overly heavy. The presentation is also really cute and the desserts always come out looking so good. The service was fine overall The only thing I wasn't the biggest fan of was the Thai tea lava toast. The flavor and sauce were good, but the toast itself was a little on the drier side and I wish it tasted a bit fresher. Overall though it's still one of my favorite late night dessert spots in the area.

If you haven't tried them yet, go before it's too late! I've been lucky enough to try four of their flavors, and each one showcases their signature silky texture and deep flavor. All are not too sweet! My personal favorite is the Kyoto Matcha - the matcha is high-quality, with a vivid green color and rich flavor that balances beautifully with the creamy cheesecake base. The Original is a classic for a reason with deeply caramelized top and creamy interior. I also tried the Iribancha, a roasted green tea flavor. It's intense, smoky, and unique..maybe not one I could finish in one sitting, but definitely memorable and recommend for those who want that earthy/smoky taste. The truffle was also a standout, adding just enough umami to round out the sweetness. Preorders drop via Instagram (@basukucheesecakes) and sell out lightning-fast. Otherwise, plan to line up for slices! Wishing Basuku all the best on their next chapter. Fingers crossed for a return to the Bay someday! Until then, don't miss your chance to try what might be the best cheesecake you've ever had.

It was sweet and decadent for sure. Definitely perfect for sharing! I loved the blueberry ube cheesecake and so did Mom! I was looking for my leftovers and they disappeared from the fridge. Creamy and slightly fruity with that thick buttery crust-- amazing! Pistachio Ricotta cake was light and moist. Perfect when you want something delicately sweetened for tea time. Red Velvet cheesecake cup was just ok for me due to the cheesecake frosting. I think I would've preferred a whole slice of cake instead. This bakery kiosk is a part of Turkish-Mediterranean restaurant Moussaka. Interior has the cutest cafe tables and chairs. Love the grey with baby pink + mint green color scheme. Step inside and go directly to the dessert display to place an order. They're also on DoorDash. Can't wait to see what Chef Nile comes up with next!
