I bought a birthday cake here last week. This bakery has been a family favorite for years…read moreespecially for the danishes. I didn't have time to do my usual birthday cake option so I went with Hillcrest this time. It's the first cake I've had there. There was a line out the place but they had 3 staff members working and they were cheerful. I scored because I got the last small cake and it was Oreo. I love frosting and it was good but it dried up by the second day. The only other thing I would change would be to have more cake so it evens out the balance of cake to frosting ratio.

Ohh Macarons absolutely lived up to the hype. I tried a mix of flavors, and every single one was a…read morehit. The Banana Punch Monkey (yes, the trending one!) totally deserves its moment -- fun, nostalgic, and perfectly balanced without being too sweet. The s'mores flavor was rich and cozy with that toasted marshmallow vibe, the strawberry lemonade was bright and refreshing with just the right tartness, and the London Fog was so elegant and smooth, with a subtle tea-forward flavor that felt incredibly elevated. Beyond the macarons themselves, the experience really stood out. The owner was so lovely and sweet -- I got to learn about her passion behind the business, and it genuinely made the visit feel special. You can tell how much heart goes into everything she creates. The girl with black hair working there was also incredibly kind and helpful, which made the whole experience even better. All the macarons were fresh, beautifully made, and had that perfect chewy-meets-crisp texture. You can truly feel the care put into both the flavors and the presentation. If you're in Bothell (or even nearby), this place is 100% worth the stop. I'll definitely be back.

Then take home a six pack or dozen. There are too many fun flavors you gotta try! On the Eastside as of now I haven't seen any macarons decorated and shaped in such cute ways! This is my go to macaron shop for parties to impress! Always clean! Friendly kind staff! I just discovered this time around there is a free parking lot for the building from the back entrance.

I settled on a chocolate peanut butter covered sandwich cookie, a S'more cupcake, and a key lime cheesecake. The gal who helped me was kind and helpful. Everything we had was delicious. I will definitely pop in again for more treats soon. I like that they are open until 5pm on weekdays. Bakeries tend to close on the earlier side and it's nice to have them as an option. It was an unexpected surprise to find this lovely shop in Kenmore - I'm so glad I did!

I tried the cookie cream cupcake, Oreo cupcake, and the double chocolate cake. Overall, I think the…read moreprices are very reasonable, especially if you're looking for a small cake or an individual dessert. The cakes were fresh and offered good value for the price. However, they were much sweeter than I prefer. Out of everything I tried, the double chocolate cake was my favorite because it had the richest flavor. My only complaint is the sweetness. I wish there were an option to make the frosting or cream less sweet, as that would have made the desserts much more enjoyable for my taste. Overall, it's a good spot if you have a sweet tooth and are looking for reasonably priced cakes.

You can tell that a lot of love goes into this shop. The selection is so fun. So many things I had never seen! They had the viral Peelerz in so many new flavors, things you can't find most places. I am really into jelly belly and saw some things I had never seen before too. It's not your local grocery store candy- it's really something special. They also have some great local brands like chukkar cherries and maeve chocolate, which saves me a trip to the city. It feels nostalgic and welcoming in here. Really fun way to break up an errands day with a nice treat.

Amazing! Full of new candy I've never seen before and ones from childhood! Family owned too!read more

When meeting for our tasting, we went with the more extravagant 8 flavor option as my husband is a chocolate fan but I am not...this was well worth the price as we got 8 mini cakes to try which meant plenty to take home and enjoy over the weekend! Christina won us over with her flavors and enthusiasm, she provided some off the menu suggestions for mixing and matching sponge and fillings which was awesome. Ultimately, we settled on a mix of a traditional wedding cake (we were so pleased to get more than one flavor choice), along with a smaller gluten free cake and a number of sweet treats to appeal to a wide range of dietary restrictions and palates. When it came to design, Christina was very attentive to our inspiration photos/vision but also mindful of our budget as sugar past dahlias are not easy or inexpensive! When we discussed incorporating our dogs, she had a vendor lined up to make figurines and took care of the ordering process once we provided her some photos. Ultimately, she knocked it out of the park both with appearance and taste! I am hopeful that she waives her fee minimum in the event we want a one tier anniversary cake (-:

My only gripe is that I would LOVE to order that cake again to surprise my SIL with, but alas due to the order minimum I probably won't be able to make it happen. Totally understandable as Christina is rightfully thoroughly booked with bigger orders.

The barista(s) were nice and the latte came out relatively fast--an employee was being trained, so it took a little extra time. For breakfast, I went to the "hot food" area at the end of the cafe past the sandwiches. Not only was the "hot food" breakfast sandwich a better deal than the cold one, but it also looked more appealing! It had an herb biscuit, bacon, egg, and cheese; perfect for the morning. They also have a lovely produce section! I got a banana that was pretty good as bananas go.
