    Baby in bloom and baby onesies cookies on the bottom left
    Hailey H.

    Order cookies for my baby shower! Short street sweets custom cookies were delicious and perfect design for my baby in bloom baby shower. She was very easy to work with! Will hire her again for future events.

    We ordered custom cookies from Mariko for our wedding, and they turned out absolutely perfect! From the very beginning, Mariko was so easy to work with. She was responsive, kind, and genuinely invested in bringing our vision to life. We had a few specific ideas and color details in mind, and she executed our vision perfectly. The cookies themselves were not only beautifully decorated (truly little works of art!) but also delicious. Guests loved the taste of the buttery homemade cookies that were almost too pretty to eat. If you're looking for someone who can create cookies that are both picture-perfect and genuinely enjoyable to eat, I can't recommend Short Street Sweets enough. She made such a special touch for our big day and we're so grateful!

    Cookies not only look nice but also taste good! Thanks for working on my order. I appreciate the workmanship that went into putting nice details on each one.

    Mariko was incredible to work with and the cookies were amazing for our baby shower. The quality, taste, attention to detail were superb.

    Wow, I can't overstate how amazing Mariko is! I am a repeat customer and am just so in love with the gorgeous (and delicious) cookies she makes. I highly recommend Short Street Sweets if you want to add something extra special to a party. These cookies are always the highlight of my kid's birthday!

    Cookies for wedding

    The cookies for our wedding turned out amazing! Mariko was super responsive and helped me brainstorm ideas. The cookies were also very delicious!

    Any chips in the icing was due to my handling of the cookies. They were perfect when I received them.

    Mariko Nobori was a pleasure to work with, and she created some incredible cookies for a bachelorette party. She was so helpful as we discussed the designs based off of the theme of the party. She kept in regular contact, and the entire process from inquiry to ordering to delivery was easy, clear and flawless. The bride loved the cookies so much, she got teary-eyed when she saw them. And the cookies were delicious! I would definitely recommend going to Mariko for all your cookie needs.

    Wow! Working with Mariko was truly a pleasure. Her precious , detail and deliciousness of her cookies were unbelievable! Myself and my team were so impressed with our custom corporate cookie order!

    Wedding-themed sugar cookies in my bridesmaid proposal box!
    Jennifer S.

    SHE PROPOSEDDDDDD!!! (see @mary m.'s review cuz she totally predicted that my review was coming..lol!) One of my besties proposed to her bridesmaids/bridal party using sugar cookies in her bridesmaid proposal box! Let's be completely honest, there is no better way to get proposed to then on something scrumptious. Especially when all your favorite people love sweets! When we were handed our ribbon tied boxes, we peeked inside and the first thing my eyes went to were the cookies! There were three total in the shape of a wedding dress, proposal plaque, and the future bride + groom's monogram!! They were so beautifully made and each cookie was so smooth...not to mention, the handwriting on these cookies are seriously impressive. I can't even write on paper this well, let alone IN ICING. Anyway, you eat with your eyes first..and they were almost too pretty to eat. But then, you know...I ate them. Super good, buttery, and not too sweet. I liked that they were fresh and def recommend not waiting to eat them cuz no one likes a tough cookie. lol! Amazing cookie, amazing proposal gift! Definitely recommended for a yummy gift that's sure to dazzle!!

    From end to end, Mariko made a special request so seamless. Very quick response when inquiring about a special custom cookies for my sister in law's baby shower. Responded quick to any questions and direct with timeline, not to mention executing per timeline. When picking up the cookies, she went far beyond my expectations. Each cookie was made with so much love and attention. The cookies was such a great hit at the baby shower where there was none left over. Not only was the decoration impeccable but also the taste. Perfectly sweet, not too much or too little. I highly recommend Short Street Sweets if you want to plan something special. Thank you @Mariko!!

    Mariko was absolutely awesome to work with! From cookie ordering, making recommendations on design, to being flexible with accommodating pick up dates. The cookies turned out gorgeous and all the party guests loved both the designs and the taste. The details on the cookies are truly a work of art. Highly recommend and will be ordering again for future events.

    Custom Birthday Cookies
    Altoni Leen C.

    This review was long overdue.. I had it on my drafts and never finished it! Anyways, here it goes... If I can give Mariko 100 stars, I would. She was just wonderful, crazy talented, and very professional! I saw her AAAAMMMMAZING work while searching for some custom cookies for my godson's birthday but her schedule was booked! I was so glad I had the chance to put an order in for my sister's 21st birthday. I was very pleased with her work. I gave her a couple photos for inspiration but I allowed her creativity to run free and she delivered some beautiful cookies. Stellar customer service as well! She will communicate with you throughout the whole process. She doesn't say no if there's something you want and she cannot do.. She will give you a better alternative. No one wanted to eat or even touch the cookies because they were too pretty! P.S. Yes, the cookies tasted as good as it looks! I highly recommend her and cannot wait to order more!

    Mariko is incredible at what she does, her cookies are true works of art. I was looking to make custom cookies for an Indian bachelorette party. While she's never made anything like that in the past, she was willing and enthusiastic to try and has truly outdone herself. I shared a few images of what I was looking for and a color scheme but the result was so much better than the examples. There is so much intricacy and care in every design, it's quite incredible. And the cookies taste great too, though if I could frame them I would. And on top of that Mariko is responsive and truly a pleasure to work with. Next time I'll try to order a cake :) THANK YOU!!

    Ordered through Uber Eats, and honestly, everything held up way better than expected. That's always…read morethe gamble with delivery, especially with fried or dessert items, but nothing showed up soggy or sad. I got the six-piece mochi donut box. The churro one was a standout, lightly dusted with sugar and cinnamon, just enough to give it flavor without being over-the-top sweet. The black sesame had a really nice nutty depth that came through well. The chocolate funnel cake flavor was okay, nothing particularly memorable, with the caramel one leaning a bit too sweet for my taste. Also tried the strawberry and mango matcha drinks. Both had a solid fruit purée presence, which balanced nicely with the matcha. Threw in a potato corn dog too, it was super crispy on the outside, with a fun textural contrast from the potato cubes.

    Cute bakery in Rockridge serving delicious pastries! Came here on a Friday at around 8am and the…read moreplace was decently busy, but we got to order right away. We decided to order 6 different pastries. We first tried their Seasonal Strawberry Almond Frangipane, Seasonal Strawberry Kouign Amann, Cardamon Pistachio Kouign Amann, Chocolate Pistachio Kouign Amann, Chocolate Babka, and Twice Baked Mocha Pecan Croissant. I liked all of their Kouign Amanns a lot, especially the strawberry one which added a nice fruit element! Their kouign amanns have very crispy layers and very flaky. I'd honestly recommend all 6 of the pastries we tried, especially since the prices for this place are lower (~$6) than some other high quality bakeries around the Oakland and SF area. The decor inside the bakery is really cute and there are quite a few small tables you can sit at to enjoy the baked goods. Service was nice and fast. Overall: solid pastry spot I'd recommend anyone to check out!

    ​I have been reading amazing things about Starter Bakery, so I was excited to try it out with my…read moregirlfriend. The ambiance is wonderful - I absolutely love the deep blue color scheme, the cute matching mugs, and gorgeous plants. They have a lot of different pastry choices, but unfortunately, there was only one vegan option: a tiny hazelnut sweet bread. ​I ordered the bread along with an Americano. When I tried to take the pastry out of the package to share it with my girlfriend, it completely crumbled into a big mess. I went up to the counter to let them know, and the employee told me it was actually meant to be eaten straight from the package. She mentioned it was on the drier side being vegan, she took the crumbled mess and gave me a new one but it ended up having the exact same issue. It wasnt dry, but it just wouldn't hold any moisture and was far too crumbly to eat. ​For $5, this tiny pastry was a major letdown. To make the interaction weirder, she took the original crumbled bread back from me and I'm only assuming threw it away, which felt entirely unnecessary. Having been vegan for nine years, I've had some truly amazing, moist vegan baked goods, so this was incredibly disappointing. While the vibe and aesthetic are great, the vegan options were major letdown. CC accepted Restroom available

Believe me, that escalated level of carb consumption isn't a source of pride for me, but I can't turn my head from a good donut. Dream Fluff is part of my wayback machine because it's been around since the 1980's. So have I. Well, I was a fresh-faced Berkeley alumnus when I first came upon this shop. I probably bought my share of dozen donut boxes back then and not just for me. However, time passed, and I had not returned until quite recently. Not so fresh-faced but still with an appetite for a good donut. The display case looked identical to what I remembered. Consistency can be a good thing, not just the hobgoblin of small minds. I bought a $1.75 Blueberry Cake Donut and have not looked back (Photo 3). Dream Fluff would be my porn name.
