I told Silvia the kind of cake I wanted (vanilla, buttercream frosting, lemon filling) and she…read moremessaged me some suggested designs to choose from, and told me the price. I went to pick up the cake but I understand you can ask for delivery. You may need to pull into her driveway due to a lack of parking, there being some construction. She accepted Zelle for payment. The cake was indeed elegant. On those baking shows they always judge, before all else, the actual bake. It was as right as right could be. My family owned a bakery and my daughter went to pastry school, so we've seen a lot of cakes. The frosting was very nice with a high butter content. To be clear, this was an Italian or Swiss buttercream. The filling was a lemon custard which was slightly runny but tasted great. The lettering had gold highlights.

Very good quality overall. I preferred the Turkish desserts over the cake so I will probably come back for those. The customer service was also good. The woman who helped me was very knowledgeable about their process of ordering and the types of products they offered.

ordered this cake specifically because I was told multiple times that it was a "Pistachino" cake…read moreand that it contained pistachios. I made it very clear that having pistachios inside was important to me. However, when we cut the cake, there were absolutely no pistachios inside. The taste was also very disappointing. It did not have any special flavor. Honestly, it tasted like a very basic cocoa cake or plain cake -- but at a much higher price. I also strongly feel like this cake may have been purchased from Vons and displayed in their showcase as their own product for resale. Previously, their cakes had a unique and distinct flavor, but this time there was nothing special about it at all. Very disappointing experience. I would not recommend it, and I no longer trust the quality.

It was towards the end of the event so a lot was sold out but managed to grab a sourdough naan and a country loaf. That naan lasted like 30 seconds- it was so pillowy and soft with just a hint of sweetness, possible one of the best naans I've ever had. The country loaf was moist and dense and delicious. Maybe I overdid it with so much bread for one person but the owner said the bread freezes well so I'm looking forward to having that over the next few days. I'm a big fan! Signed up for their emails to catch the next event and looking forward to it

It was not overly sweet, so I did have to make my own simple syrup to sweeten up (boiling water/sugar) - after adding it was perfect! Got a few pieces of baklava to try and they were all good! Was $17.80ish for 7 pieces of baklava and the piece of knafeh. My dog grabbed the baklava box off the counter while I was sleeping & he could NOT open it up to eat. So thank you for having a TOUGH container! Ha ha I've tried a nearby baklava place and felt they were heavy and dense. Shakira's baklava were very airy/light/flaky and you could taste the pistachio correctly// not overburnt, felt it was made with love, if that makes sense. Inside is simple.. fridges to the left with some frozen foods and pastries (?). Did not understand how to order since there is just one cashier a few steps in. Seems you go to the cashier first- if picking up they'll get your order, if not- they'll find someone to pick your items out. I liked their front window branding. Will return soon!!
