A small and unassuming strip mall spot with a lovely calming atmosphere. The front was under construction on this day, but they were thankfully open all the same. The girl at the counter was busy helping customers which was a perfect chance to peruse the options. Lots of range here, which I love. Little one bite treats, cookies and pastries, full cakes and slices too! I spotted an un-marked tray of cookies that looked nice, turns out they were soft ginger cookies with jam filling. Raspberry or apricot, and baked in different shapes so you know what's what. Clever... and delicious. The edges were definitely a bit dry but once I hit the jam it was perfect! I also grabbed a triple chocolate mini dome for later. That was quite good as well. Not too sweet, but velvety and flavorful. What's the next holiday I can use as an excuse to get a full cake? I'd definitely come back for a snack too!

There's not a ton of seating, but it's worth stopping in to go. There may be a metro station right across the street--I know there's tracks, but I'm not sure exactly where the station is. There's street parking as well.

This French-Korean bakery chain offers a wonderful variety of pastries, breads, and cakes. I have tried many of them over the years and have been happy with their quality and taste, although they are on the pricey side. I am a fan of their Mango Cloud Cake and recently ordered a 6" one for my birthday. Yes, I prefer to pick out my own birthday cake, haha! When I picked it up on a Sunday around 12:30 p.m., I was surprised to find the bakery totally packed. It was quite chaotic, with lots of people browsing pastries and baked goods while carrying trays and tongs around the relatively small space. I have also noticed that, unlike the Chinatown location, items at this location are not individually wrapped. I personally prefer individually wrapped pastries for hygiene and convenience. There was a long line for the two cashiers, but luckily, it moved at a reasonable pace. Although I was only there to pick up my cake, I couldn't resist buying several pastries as well. A friendly staff member, who was probably the owner, helped me retrieve my cake. It was packaged really well, and a plastic server/cutter and a "Happy Birthday" cake topper were included. The 6" cake is called Mango Cloud Cake #1, and it was almost perfect. Both the mango cream and cloud cream were light and not too sweet, and the cake itself was moist and fluffy. However, there were only a few small pieces of mango in the filling, and unfortunately, they contained fibrous seed material that made them impossible to eat. I had to spit them out. This experience left me on cloud 8 instead of 9! The cake cost $41 plus tax, so I hope they are a little more generous with the mango pieces next time.

It's a family-owned, grab and go kind of bakery with all the classics. Churros, elote, conchas, and plenty of other panadería favorites. But if there's ONE thing I keep coming back for... It's their tres leches. You can call ahead and order a full sheet cake, or grab an individual slice like the one pictured here. And let me tell you--the cake is SOAKED in milk, exactly how I like my tres leches! Some places are way too stingy with the milk, but Lupita's Bakery does not hold back. The cake is incredibly moist without becoming soggy. The icing is also super light and airy, almost like whipped cream, which I LOVE. And somehow, with all that sweetness, it's not overly sweet at all. Everything just works perfectly together.

The churros are delicious when they're freshly made - regular cinnamon sugar, filled with chocolate or vanilla. THIS is why I come here! Some of the pastries are hit or miss, maybe depends on when I'm stopping in? The churros however are always good and keeps me coming back. Plus I can't walk into a Mexican bakery and not leave with a la concha or other goodies.

Super cool-- that's how they roll!…read more It's been a while since I tried rolled ice cream (at another place) but this sounded fun, so why not? There are two entrances, and you order from the kiosk. You can order from their menu, or build your own flavor. It goes like this, they add your flavor and mixins plus cream to a super cold plate. They mash it up with what looks like paint scrapers, then spread this mixture paper thin. Then they scrape it, making thin rolls of ice cream. The workers are super meticulous-- this is hard work. They're going to have amazing biceps at the end of this summer! Be patient -- this process is not quick -- everything is made to order; you see exactly what goes into your flavor and it's mesmerizing to watch. I ordered Coffee Lovers flavor -- and I watched them pour coffee, cream and 1 graham cracker and make that into coffee ice cream. Now, they added whipped cream and caramel sauce too, so there's that. My friend ordered Key Lime, and their order was juice from a lime wedge, cream, and one graham cracker. It was also topped with a toasted marshmallow -- so cute! The resulting flavors are not very rich -- kind of like a flavored ice milk -- but there are times when that's what you want. They also offer smoothies, lattes and bubble tea (looked amazing). What's cooler than being cool? Ice cold!
