I bought a few of the Neighbor Bakehouse pastries including the pandan coconut Mochi cake, curry potato croissant, and ube croissant. I liked the texture of the pastries but two lacked the star flavor. The pandan coconut mochi cake had some coconut flavor and a good smell of pandan but no pandan taste. The ube croissant completely lacked ube flavor. The one item I liked was the curry potato croissant. I'd come back to the store for their good variety of Asian snacks but would skip the pandan coconut Mochi cake and ube croissant.

Out of all the Dubai chocolate bars I've had around the Peninsula, this one might be my favorite. The chocolate-to-pistachio kanafeh ratio was perfectly balanced, making every bite rich without being overwhelming. It's a little pricey just like any good Dubai chocolate, the quality is absolutely worth it. We also picked up a few truffles, and they were SO delicious. The shop itself is beautiful, with a thoughtfully designed interior and a decorated wall that's perfect for a quick photo. I can't remember the name of the woman who helped us, but she was incredibly kind and welcoming. Between the outstanding service and the quality of the chocolate, my cousin and I are already looking forward to coming back to try even more.

Went in and was greeted very warmly (excellent customer service, super friendly). We inquired about their cheese bread. They're little round bites/balls of heaven--gluten free, made with rice flour and something else. We got a sample, which she offered, and yes, it was amazingly delicious. I wouldn't have minded more cheese, but then again, I've never met a cheese I didn't fall in love with. It's in main downtown and believe it or not, parking is relatively easy.

I had tried both services either online when shipping is not a problem. But I tried picking my order once because I need the chocolate order for several baked goods to be done in a few days. I placed the order online, and was so excited that I can pick it up when it went through. Although one caveat and con, is they don't send you a confirmation that your order is complete. But for me, I had to call and pick up in the afternoon going to Burlingame. I had to go to the reception area and met a person at front desk to pick up my order, I told my name and a hard copy of my confirmation order. She brought it in a box packed nicely. It was definitely a great experience picking up the chocolates that I ordered. Several single origin chocolates, few packs of Akoma semi-sweet chocolate chips and milk chocolate chips, MIni chocolate chips. Au lait chocolate chips. It was a lot in 1 box, but it was worth the experience and trip. I would do it again, if there is an emergency order for my small shop. Otherwise, I would recommend doing it onlne and shipping is great. If you cannot find some products at shops and groceries, then order online and let it ship it to you. But if you are in the area at Burlingame, especially the hilly area. It is very secluded factory. I prefer this over other chocolates because of accessibility, it is local and can rely on Guittard when Valrhona or Callebaut are sold out at food service and wholesalers.

For those of you watching your cholesterol and overall health, please be advised that the Green Mint Baking Chips are loaded with palm kernel and palm oils -- which have been known to raise your bad cholesterol and is linked to heart disease.
