The cakes are delicious, and the pastries are always fresh and baked to perfection. I highly recommend trying the Green Tea Cloud Cake, Mango Cloud Cake, and Earl Grey Cloud Cake, all excellent choices for a birthday celebration. In addition, a traditional croissant paired with a nice latte was the perfect way to start my morning. Service was great and quick. Can get a little crowded on the weekends but the bright colors provide a nice relaxing experience. I would definitely recommend giving this place a try!

The garlic cream cheese bread was AMAZING - unbelievably soft and fluffy with a warm, creamy center. At first glance it looks like it would be heavy, but it's actually really light and easy to eat. The garlic flavor was perfect and not overpowering. The garlic sausage block was also delicious, buttery and savory with the sausage baked right inside the bread. For something sweet we got the chocolate cream donut, which was the perfect level of sweetness - not overly sugary at all. For drinks we tried the iced matcha tiramisu and the iced jasmine green tea. The matcha was really good quality. I couldn't taste the tiramisu flavor too much (probably because we mixed it), but the matcha itself was excellent. The iced jasmine green tea was exceptional - super refreshing and hydrating. The cashier was also very patient and helpful with my indecisiveness while ordering, which I really appreciated. The items we asked to have warmed up came out pretty quickly too. The space itself is really nice as well - lots of seating and plenty of natural light, making it a great place to sit and enjoy your food. The music was also really nice and added to the relaxed vibe. Overall everything was fresh, soft, and really well made. Definitely recommending this place to everyone I know and coming back ASAP.

I mourn the fact that COVID killed the samples, but it's still a great place to shop for a treat or just run in and grab a coffee which I do a few times a month. Recommend: Any of the breads that are unwrapped and on the baking trays by the counter. Those are fresh out of the oven that day. I especially love the mocha roll. It's big and fluffy with chewy moist mocha flavored dough and a crispy sugary coating on the outside that's to die for. It's still light and fluffy at the same time. Yum! And while it's prob not made in-house, I do love the red bean buns. Bathrooms are always clean and the upstairs is great for a longer chat with a friend, time in a book, or board or card game time. They also have a lovely upstairs covered porch for pretty days.

First, the yogurt snow had awful fruits: kiwi was old, strawberries were not ripe, melon tasted like watermelon rinds, the canned mandarins tasted canned. The yogurt was okay, but the snow tasted just like ice. Absolutely no flavor whatsoever for $16.55 The chocolate chip brownie, didn't have much taste of chocolate and stale. $4.50 The upside down pineapple cake was the worst, so old it had the metallic taste of the aluminum container and crumbled into granules using a fork. Absolutely inedible! $4.25 Breeze bakery has been going downhill for a while now, but 3 out 3 items being inedible for $28 is unbelievable. There is also the short bulky Korean guy, possibly the manager who's seems to be on a power trip and speaks to customers rudely and unprofessionally. Will never come back and will inform my friends and family how this business is tanking.

Over the years my order has changed, but right now I'm completely obsessed with the Hawaiian bingsoo. Honestly, in all this time, I've never had anything here that tasted bad. Their large variety of fresh bakery items is consistently delicious -- whether you're craving something sweet or savory, something cold or something warm. But no matter what you choose... always get the madeleines. Always.

The shop is cute and has undergone renovations over the years; they have new tables/chairs and their shop looks brighter and fresher. Their parking situation isn't great, so I'd definitely recommend parking on the side or in the back instead of near the front entrance. The lot is pretty tight, and it's easy to get stuck if you're not super confident with tight parking.

The staff is always attentive, professional, and friendly. Even though it's a smaller bakery, it's packed with incredible treats. And that says a lot considering it's located in Annandale, surrounded by so many Korean bakeries -- yet Tiffany's still stands above the crowd. A true hidden gem and a forever go-to for me.

They do have pretty…read morefresh and appealing looking pastries for reasonable prices, but on top of them being a touch too sweet for my personal tastes, I find their flavors, particularly their chocolate, lacking. I don't think they use high quality chocolate? So it just leaves the cakes and things a bit flat in flavor, imho. Every pastry I've tried, the flavors to me seem a bit off (could be cultural) and they just taste "sweet" more than anything, with no other flavor profiles. I think my pick out of the bunch would be their napoleon and everything else I just wouldn't bother. If I ever popped in, I would be inclined to try their ham and cheese croissant that others have raved about.

They have everything from small bites like cookies and pastries to full size cakes & tarts. They also have single serve slices of some of their cakes like the chocolate mousse cake. We went for breakfast sandwiches and tried both of the base bread options. The snowflake bread was soft and pillowy (my favorite) and the brotchen bread was slightly crisper & a little bit saltier, also amazing. Eggs are fluffy and a great portion size. Added cheese to each and smoked bacon. A delightful breakfast treat. On the way out, I got a baguette for a last minute appetizer need. It was so soft and freshly baked (and big!). I'm going back today for more fresh bread. There's also plenty to shop for like mustards, jams, cheese and charcuterie, grab and go items, and beverages. This place has summer chalet vibes & is very upbeat and friendly. Lines can get long during typical busy hours, so it's not super quick if you're in a rush. Great place to come relax.

I did not have need of the imported chocolates and other packaged goods, but there was certainly plenty there worthy of perusal.
