    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!

    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!!

    I always love Cupcakin'. I particularly like this location because this part of Shattuck is less…read morechaotic than Telegraph up by Cal. They also have a small parking lot exclusively for customers which I just found out after my umpteenth visit. LOL! I purchased the Crème Brûlée cupcake for a friend who reviewed the crème brûlée topping as "not too sweet" and noted that the sugar still had a bit of crisp to it. The frosting on the Lemon Blackberry cupcake is sooooo delicious, but I was disappointed but the innards due to an absence of any blackberry filling. And then when I got to the BOTTOM of the cupcake, I found a flattened blackberry in the center. I suppose they get an A for effort on that one... As for the Key Lime Pie and Vanilla Salted Caramel cupcakes, I've had them multiple times before and they're so tasty. They're really good at what they do here. Unfortunately, if you don't get there early, you won't get to grab any of the limited/exclusive flavors they sometimes have; I missed out on the latest Banana Pudding cupcake and it still keeps me up at night... Ultimately, I don't have the heart to rate any less than 5 stars. Their cupcakes are so delicious, soft, and moist every time. One of my dessert pet peeves is dry cake--I can't stand a dry or underdressed cake. Cupcakin' makes sure I don't have to suffer. Even when they're sold out of my favorites, I'm leaving with something!

    Great food/baked goods, great customer service, in a quaint ambiance is how I can describe my…read morefavorite cupcake bakery! I walked in as soon as they opened, and secured my favorite flavors, and a new one. First, the Dubai Chocolate cupcake is prepared perfectly. The pistachio cream inside of a rich chocolate cupcake, with a combination of pistachio and chocolate on top with candied pistachios to finish it off. Every bite is heavenly! I also tried the Lemon Blackberry cupcake, which is a flavor of the month. I love new and exciting flavors, this one was pretty good. I would've preferred a lemon blueberry (which I would love to see on the menu regularly) but this was good nonetheless. Another favorite is the Chocolate Salted Caramel cupcake. The salted caramel is well pronounced and compliments the light, airy chocolate cupcake. I highly recommend what I believe is the "BEST CUPCAKES IN AMERICA"!!

It is not an option on their website (which it should be hehe) but I saw in one of the reviews that someone had ordered it...so I decided to call and they made it happen! This bakery is very cute. The customer service is excellent (on the phone and in person). It looks like a family owned business which I wanted to support. They were also very kind. They made the process easy since I had ordered this just days before and she also included a candle for me. I was very unprepared and sleep deprived with a newborn so I appreciate that they thought of everything for me and made it so easy. Very kind. So the birthday cake was VERY very good and cute. I couldn't resist getting a slice of strawberry cake myself which was also good but I prefer the tres leche. I also saw they have food (which I want to try) and ice cream cup cakes available and I think that would be another good party buy. I definitely will come again. This bakery is lovely and so are the people who work there.

I also thought the color palette of yellow and blue was interesting, not what I picture when I think of that fruit. Gluten free chocolate salted caramel: This was probably my favorite because it was chocolatey and that helped balance it out so it didn't taste as overwhelmingly sweet. Vegan cookies and cream: This was pretty good, I liked it and didn't miss the dairy. Strawberry: The frosting tasted like actual fruit, which was really great. A little sweeter than I like, overall. Chocolate: This one was just so-so. Overall they were pretty good cupcakes, I do appreciate that they offer options that are gluten free and vegan to accommodate dietary needs.

We ordered two decorated donuts (we left a note that it was a birthday, and to choose something fun), hash browns, an egg and cheese croissant, and coffee. They were having a special if you spent x amount, your coffee was complimentary or in all reality, I think it came to about .25 cents! They chose the cutest panda bear donuts as the decorated donuts, and it was such a fun breakfast vibe full of all the whimsy. They included a bag with napkins and coffee creamer which was a nice touch. And omg, the egg/cheese croissant...so good! There is truly something special about the discovery of breakfast croissants at spots that don't typically market them. (See pic) but the croissant was hearty and layered high with gooey cheese and warm egg. The croissant was warm, buttery, and it seemed like potentially put in a press. Chefs kiss, no notes. I noticed you could add meat and/or avocado, but it was perfect paired down. All in all, a food delivery gone right! Hard to come by these days, and my first time ever executing a delivery order before 7am haha. Thank you for adding to a truly special day, can't wait to visit soon!
