I originally came in for Dubai inspired chocolate pistachio cheesecake but was instead greeted so warmly by head pastry chef Nile! She is full of life and so passionate about her baked goods. I almost wanted to buy one of everything after hearing about each item. Desserts: *Blueberry Ube Cheesecake *Pistachio Ricotta Cake *Dubai Pistachio Chocolate Cake with Biscoff Cookie Butter *Red Velvet Cheesecake Cup Nile just baked the Dubai cake and mentioned she would have a slice for herself that night. 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!

My friend was feeling under the weather, so I wanted to send her some goodies to brighten up her day. AND BOY DID THEY DELIVER!

They make super cute, aesthetically pleasing to look at desserts and mini desserts. Go check out their website! They have so many goodies and I wish this business was here in SoCal so I could try everything! Thanks for helping me out Natalie!

I would strongly encourage people to be cautious when choosing to support Always Yours Bakery Cafe…read morein Castro Valley. I recently came across a former employee's post detailing some very disturbing allegations about the working conditions and food safety practices at this establishment. The concerns include allegedly serving days-old premixed matcha, failing to properly maintain and clean equipment, and, most alarmingly, a reported sewage incident involving human waste near food preparation and display areas. On top of these reported health and sanitation concerns, the former employee described an unfair and hostile working environment where staff allegedly felt disrespected and mistreated. While I cannot personally verify these allegations, they are serious enough to make me reconsider supporting this business. It's hard to support a business when there are such troubling accounts of how employees are treated, especially when potential food safety violations are involved. No employee should have to work in unsafe or degrading conditions, and no customer should have to question whether the food they're purchasing has been handled safely. Please be careful when choosing this bakery and take the time to look into these concerns before supporting the business. Small businesses deserve support, but that support should also come with accountability, respect for employees, and a commitment to basic health and safety standards.

It's in a corner of a very cute gourmet food hall and had a good selection of goods left in mid-afternoon on a weekday. Service is also friendly and prompt. I had to get the kouign amann because I always get one wherever I can, and also picked up a plain croissant, currant scone, and panna cotta. The KA was decent; I would call this one a diet KA because they only put the sugar on one side so it was more like a brulee'd croissant. I also have to admit that, while this shaping is very attractive, the direction of the lamination makes eating this feel like shards in my mouth. However, flavor was excellent. The plain croissant is very plain. It's decent but I've had better. The scone and panna cotta, however, were delightful. Both had lovely soft textures and wonderful creamy flavors. The scone held up for two days and wasn't even a bit stale when I finally had it for breakfast. Highly recommend this tucked-away bakery in the Castro Valley!

I don't come here often but when I do, it mainly to get a birthday cake. If you are not aware of the best thing an Asian can say about your cake, it's "taste good, not too sweet" Some young guy helped me at the counter and I giggled to myself thinking "wow this guy is dedicated" he was a little extra polite and it threw me off because so many of these young kids are rude and dgaf. The side is pretty well kept but sometimes there are some shady people around these parts. Now there is something I want to mention. I've been to other locations and I have actually seen fly's in the bins with the baked goods, but the baked goods have separate wrapping on them as an added layer of protection. Also this happens because people are lazy and open up the bins to grab what they want then they don't close them because they haven't been raised right. I've never seen this at this location but I guess it can happen anywhere. Also the cakes I get are always seperate in the refrigerators so it doesn't affect me.

My wife and I stopped by after lunch around 1:00 p.m. and it was pretty busy inside. That said, despite being so busy, the shelves were fully stocked with fresh bread. With two staff members behind the register, the line actually moved pretty quickly. During our visit, there was a limited time promotion where you could purchase two pieces of cubed garlic bread for a discount. In addition to these two pieces of garlic bread , we also picked up a HK style pineapple bun. The garlic bread's exterior was crunchy, was very aromatic and not too oily. The pineapple bun had a nice crunchy shell on top, and the brioche was soft and fluffy. Good quality products at this Sheng Kee Bakery. I wouldn't mind stopping by again to pick up some bread for an afternoon snack.

I like to look for new spins on lattes to see what barista's are whipping up to make things unique. I came in thinking I was going to get a basic latte, but the Borgia Mocha caught my eye! I asked the cashier if it was a good choice and she recommended it. I was a little unsure how the two would blend and how much orange they would use in it, but it came out amazing! Honestly probably one of the top 10 unique mocha's I have tried and it was delicious! I loved the burst of refreshing orange that complimented the chocolate. The flavors danced on my tastebuds like two separate flavors that blended together as one. Each holding their own note that added value to the drink making it unique. I was instantly impressed and wish I found this on more menus! A classic mocha with a refreshing twist of orange was a pleasant surprise! I'm so glad I stopped in for a pick me up!

Notes: Thought I had written a review here a while back as they are a part of my post Oakland airport tradition. My routine, fly into to Oakland, drive to Moussaka for lunch (rip the former chef/owner and restaurant), head 2 doors down to Zocalo for coffee on the ride home.
