    Loved it ! Inside and out
    Cherry C.

    I was so happy with the cake Ruth made! I was having a surprise 50th Birthday Party for My husband . I wanted this funny toilet paper cake . I showed her a picture and it turned out even better than the picture ! I was so pleased the cake tasted as good as it looked! I tried the marble with vanilla mousse . My husband likes simple flavors so I didn't get to try some of the other special flavors Ruth makes . After this I will be trying something else ! Thank you Ruth for doing such a great job!!

    We celebrated our BFFs' birthday party with a tea! we dressed up for the occasion and we were all surprised at how dainty the set up was... the host, Ruth, was very warm and accommodating and has carefully selected and prepared each food and drink by herself... everything beautifully presented but also very tasty! We are all very pleased... and full LOL...

    DELICIOUS CAKE POPS! Ruth's cake pop is rich and is of high quality! We ordered 9 dozen for $42/dozen since they were customized for our wedding 5*12*19. I emailed her and she was very informative and replied as soon as she's able to. She's also very friendly.

    I can't say enough nice things about Ruth. My family and I flew into Vegas from Fresno for a surprise 60th birthday for my mom. I expressed to Ruth just how important this dinner was and she went above and beyond to perform. She made the cake BETTER then the image provided,.. and she also delivered the cake with more then enough time in advance to the restaurant. I truly can't thank Ruth enough for her hard work. Not only was the cake gorgeous, it was Delicious.

    We had both a cake and cupcakes for my daughter's first birthday, and everything was delicious. They were light and tasty, but not too sweet. To us and our guests, everything was perfect. We would definitely order from here again.

    Ruth makes deliciously amazing cakes! It is the best in Vegas! I would recommend to anyone, specially the Ube cake!

    Found them on Instagram after seeing a pic of their silvanas! I had to try them right away so I DM'd Ruth and she made the order process sooo easy! I picked them up the next day and got a dozen assorted silvanas (matcha, cookies and cream, original, ube, mocha, and chocolate) I will definitely be ordering more from her!

    Very pleased with the services provided by Need For Sweets! We requested services for your baby's first birthday, and were not disappointed! From the beginning Ruth was very informative and made sure we understood our options available! She made sure she understood what it was we requested! We ordered this beautiful two layered cake, with last minute orders of cake pops! Both were absolutely delicious, moist, and flavorful! Would highly recommend her services and would be a returning client!

    I randomly found this wonderful local baker through yelp and she was amazing. I ordered cake pops as our wedding favour and it was the best I've had. Not too sweet and super moist. She even helped me wrap it nicely and add the sticker label on it which saved me time on the wedding day. The cake I ordered was a vanilla cake with whipped cream and strawberries. Again, it was perfect. Everyone loved it! She even made taster samples for us before we placed the order. I definitely recommend her for any of your special events!

    Ruth made our cake exactly as we wanted it....and we made all the arrangements strictly via texts and emails. She also made us heart-shaped leche flan, as a custom request. The merengue and silvanas were a huge hit. Her dessert creations for our special event are not only delicious, they're also gorgeous.

    Ruth was so nice and her work was amazing!! My daughters birthday cake was everything I imagined it to be. I told Ruth exactly what I would like on it and she brought it to life! Everyone at our party kept saying how yummy the cake was and how beautiful the design was. I couldn't agree more! HIGHLY recommend!

    Moving from Cali to LV meant leaving behind all the good bakeries we ordered cakes and desserts from. And it's usually a hit or miss when it comes to finding a good cake shop/cake maker. While I was planning for my daughter's birthday party, I came across needforsweetsLV on instagram, so I messaged Ruth. She was so patient with me since I had to change a couple things I ordered but she was accommodating. I ordered ube cake, meringue cookies, chocolate raspberry tartlets and fruit tarts for my daughter's birthday. I'm so glad I found her on Instagram! The Ube cake was amazing! I showed her the picture of what I wanted it to look like and it looked beautiful and it tasted soooo good! Everyone at my daughter's party loved it, even the ones who have never heard of or tried "ube." She made it perfectly moist and the level of sweetness is just right. I just love how the desserts she made weren't too sweet. They're the kind of desserts that you won't get tired of easily because of the sweetness. I can't say enough good things, you just have to try what she makes! I also ordered some silvana cookies and I can't wait to try those!!! We will definitely order more goodies from her.

    Ruth is amazing! I've used her twice for cakes and they have both come out perfectly and exactly like I asked. Not to mention they are absolutely delicious! She is always nice and, although I unfortunately have not been able to meet her yet, both people I've had pick up the cakes have said she is a complete sweetheart. I will definitely continue choosing Ruth for my cake needs!

From the moment you walk in, it's giving soft, whimsical, almost too-pretty-to-eat energy--but trust me, you should eat everything. The cakes are impossibly light with that signature Japanese-style balance where sweetness never overpowers, just quietly lingers in the best way. What really stood out to me is how much restraint and craftsmanship goes into these desserts. Nothing is overdone, nothing feels gimmicky--it's just clean flavors, airy textures, and a level of detail that shows real skill. In a city full of over-the-top desserts, this place keeps it refined--and that's exactly why it stands out. I'll definitely be back to work my way through the entire case. Great service and ambience as well. I'll be returning v soon !

It didn't taste artificial at all like at St**b**ks. I'm pretty sure they make the apple syrup in house. Perfectly spiced and comforting. I would come back just for this drink but unfortunately I think it's a seasonal item. Strawberry Mille-Feuille: They make this fresh, so I had to wait about 5-10 minutes, but it was absolutely worth it. The pastry was beautifully crispy and the cream had the perfect texture with visible vanilla bean specks. I even found myself licking the paper it came on and didn't care who saw me because it was that good. Mushroom Crêpe: Yes, it's worth the hype. The photos online make it look very cheesy, but it's actually quite light. My husband doesn't like cheese and couldn't even taste it. I ordered it without mayo to keep it a little lighter. The tiny mushrooms were adorable, and it comes served in a cute crêpe holder. Coconut Cake: The cake was incredibly soft and fluffy with custard cream layered in between. They didn't have individual slices, so I ordered the mini cake for $17. Yes, I ate the entire thing. Yes, it was delicious. Yes, I think I've had enough coconut cake now in one sitting to last a lifetime. Yuzu Panna Cotta: Very unique. I haven't seen this dessert anywhere else. The yuzu adds a bright tangy flavor that almost makes the panna cotta taste like a creamy citrus yogurt. I'm really glad I tried it. Matcha Latte: Strong, high-quality matcha. Sometimes matcha drinks at cafés taste watered down, but not here. It's topped with matcha foam and little matcha brownie bits, which makes it extra special. Strawberry Dessert: My kids loved this. Every bite was a surprise. My 9-year-old found beans in one bite and then a big strawberry hidden in the middle. It was fun watching them discover it. Parking is easy and straightforward, and the café itself is absolutely adorable. If you have time, sit down and enjoy the experience.

I love that they offer both indoor and outdoor seating and allow animals in the outdoor area. The seating, inside and out, is great. I chose a hot sandwich, the Morning, along with the Apple Black Tea. The meal was nice, and I appreciated being able to choose the level of toastiness for the bread or bagel. But when I tell you...that tea was everything! It had a smooth, lightly sweet apple flavor--no bitterness like typical black tea. The staff is kind, and your food is brought right to your seat, which is a very nice touch. Note: they do use latex gloves, so keep that in mind if you have allergies. I also enjoyed looking at the décor and the display of pastries, drinks, and items available for purchase to take home. Overall, it was a very nice experience. The music wasn't loud, and the service was great. Definitely worth stopping in. Thanks for the experience! Happy Yelping

Anytime I have friends or family visiting from out of town that are huge Matcha lovers I bring them here! They have plenty of seating, pretty nice size tables ranging from smaller squares, to larger circle tables to pretty good size community tables. Very clean, minimalistic, open space. It's a great place to hangout, it can get pretty busy sometimes. And that parking lot in general... sometimes I've gone there and had a hard time finding parking (I've actually left out of frustration before) it really just depends when you go. You do have a lot of really well-known local places in that shopping center that get incredibly busy especially late afternoon/early evenings on weekends from my experience. Haven't really had a problem when I've gone on a weekday. They have a really awesome menu! If you're not a Matcha person... but you're going with a matcha person.. they do have some coffee drinks as well! They have egg salad sandwiches and tuna sandwiches, and a few different desserts including layered crêpe cakes. My favorite thing to get there is their Matcha float latte, it's kind of the best of both worlds where you get your Matcha latte and a Matcha soft serve all in one! There are so many different combinations that you can get there of different types of green teas, either in tea form, latte, floats, parfait, and so many different flavors and toppings like they have their banana Matcha latte, which is really good!! They have quite a few flavors of soft serve (and don't worry for the ones that don't like Matcha, but are going with a Matcha person they have ones like black sesame, Ube, vanilla, etc. I miss their lychee flavor... I believe it was a limited time flavor, and I absolutely loved that soft serve... please bring it back!) and they're absolutely perfect, the texture and consistency of their soft serve is great. Tonight I got their Matcha and vanilla swirl soft serve on a waffle cone with chocolate syrup. (I had a birthday reward, They have a really awesome rewards program!) and it brought me joy in a way that I can't even put words and it was the perfect after dinner dessert and a great way to end the evening! It's an awesome place if in the middle of the day you need your Matcha fix, you need caffeine but you're not a coffee person. It's also really great place for a semi-late night (I believe they close at 10? so it's not like super late or anything, but still open until a pretty decent time) dessert and catch up with friends! Overall, a really great place and if love Matcha, you should really check this place out!

True to its name, the milk cream isn't heavy or greasy instead, it has a fresh, clean taste. The donut itself is light and simple, and it paired perfectly with the cream. I am particularly fond of this specific Paris Baguette location inside the Chinatown Mall, it offers plenty of parking space. Furthermore, this branch is designed more like a café than just a standard bakery, making it a great spot to drop by for a brief respite while enjoying some coffee and pastries. Personally, I prefer the cakes at Paris Baguette over those at the 85°C Bakery located in Shanghai Plaza. They offer a much wider variety in terms of both size and flavor. My absolute favorite is the Blueberry Yogurt Cake. They also carry sandwiches and individual cake slices, the sandwiches, in particular, make for a perfect light meal replacement. The bread lineup is so extensive that it feels as though every type of bread in the world has been gathered right here. One thing I've noticed every time I visit is how incredibly friendly the staff members are. Whenever I ask about a specific type of bread, they are always happy to provide a kind and helpful explanation. Back when I lived in Korea, Paris Baguette was my go-to bakery. Since opening its first store in 1988, it has remained the bakery brand with the largest number of locations in Korea. If you're wondering where to pick up a birthday cake or a small gift, I highly recommend stopping by this Paris Baguette bakery.

For my twins' 21st birthday, I ordered a custom cake, and the experience from order to first bite was flawless. The owner is clearly driven by pride in the product, going above and beyond to ensure every detail was perfect. We went with a passion fruit and fresh fruit creation--and when I say fresh, I mean vibrant, seasonal, and bursting with flavor, and placed at the last minute at pick up time to guarantee it.. The cake itself was beautifully balanced: light, airy, and refreshingly restrained on the sugar. The Highlight: The "crispy balls" on top weren't just decorative; they provided a brilliant textural contrast that rounded out the entire experience. Pro-Tip: Trust the process and let the cake sit at room temperature for about an hour before serving. The flavors "bloom" and the texture softens significantly compared to serving it straight from the fridge. For a fully custom creation, the pricing was incredibly reasonable. Highly recommended for milestone celebrations. And I will be back to try the individual marvels I drooled for in the display case :-)
