I ordered a cake online and never got the cake or a refund. I placed an order for a birthday cake through the Sweet Affair website. I received a confirmation that says Sweet Affair and the phone number of Sweet Affair is listed as the contact for questions and concerns...My card was charged under "Sweet Affair Bakery". The day of our party, with a house full of guests, no cake arrived... I called and was told my order was through DoorDash, who manages their online order, and it was a DoorDash "Wifi error," and I needed to call DoorDash. There was no apology or accountability, only blame on DoorDash. The person I spoke to was so rude and spoke to me in a condescending tone. There was an offer to give me a different cake, even though- quote "we can't even prove you paid". When I click on "Track My Order" in the email confirmation I received, it takes me to DoorDash; however, when I click "Help," it says to call Sweet Affair Bakery. So, I decided to email Sweet Affair, since calling did me no good, and I got an auto-reply saying, "We don't respond to emails." I am going in circles with no one willing to help me at the bakery. I need my refund.

The casual restaurant looks typical everyday Chinese. There are lots of tables for 4 and a few round tables for 8. It even has a semi-private room with two tables. Every dim sum dish five of us selected was pretty good and had flavor. My favorites steamed dishes were the Chicken Feet in Black Bean Sauce and Jumbo Pork Dumplings (sui mai) which were truly jumbo size. Bean Curd Rolls and Jumbo Shrimp Dumplings (har gao) were also gone in a flash. Pork with Preserved Eggs Congee (Jook with "century black duck eggs" pei don) was given 2 thumbs up by 94-year old Dad. The stir-fried Singapore Style Curry Vermicelli Noodles (seen doe chow mei fun) was also really tasty and delicious. The baked BBQ Pork Buns (cha sui bow) could've used more pork, but were ok. Service was polite and constant. Food delivery was a nice pace. Tea pot was refilled quickly. The restaurant was pretty full on a Sunday at noon, with a line waiting. Restroom check revealed the same as most other Chinese restaurants. Just close your eyes and wash your hands with soap. We will definitely come back for more dim sum!

If everything was equally good, I'd give them more stars. The downside is that some of their food comes out cold. Why? I have no idea. This has happened to us before and this time it was the shrimp noodle. They also take a while to bring out your dishes, but some still come out cold? Service is friendly, and it is good enough for us when we don't feel like driving to East Ocean in Alameda or Yang Kee in Davis, which are both a lot better.

Disappointing Experience with Cold Ensaymada and Poor Customer Service. I had a disappointing experience at this bakery. Firstly, they served their ensaymada cold, which was surprising and concerning as it's typically served fresh. When I inquired about warming it up, I was told it wasn't possible. This left me unsure about the freshness of the product. To make matters worse, the staff member's attitude escalated when I expressed my surprise about the cold ensaymada, even though I hadn't even touched it yet. Additionally, when I politely asked for napkins, the response I received was unnecessarily curt. Overall, the combination of the cold ensaymada and poor customer service made for a regrettable visit. read more

The dough of the croissant and strudel left much to be desired in flavor and texture, even when reheated. To be honest, it tasted like it was raw. Maybe this is just not my kind of spot, as I know many in the community frequent here! If I were around the area, I would consider trying their ham and cheese croissants, as they may be stronger with savory options instead. RECS: + Guava cheese croissant ($5.50) had a delicious guava filling, which was perfectly tart and not overly sweet. This sorta made up for the bland croissant dough PASS: + Apple strudel ($6.75) had such fresh apples, but you really get a taste for the dough here which had an unpleasant taste and texture

The environment in here is great -- fun, bright, and welcoming. The person behind the counter was helpful and patient as we choose what flavors to try. What sets them apart is that they make the donuts to order. That means that you will have to wait until the donuts are ready. At that point, sure, I wasn't in a rush and they would cool down anyway by the time I get home, so no big deal. But because they're hot when the glaze is on there; the colors are not as vibrant as the picture, so don't expect them to look as good as the picture does. Of course, looks aren't everything. We finally got home and tried a few. None of the flavors particularly came through, all of it just kinda tasted like sugar. And for more than $1 per donut and a waiting time? Hard pass. I still rather go to a regular donut place. But if you want a freshly fried donut, you might want to try it. I personally don't like how it tasted but you might.

I was driving through the area and had already passed the exit for this place…read more I was really craving some desserts and this popped up as being open and nearby, I decided that the pictures on Yelp looked worth it, so I turned back around and drove 10 minutes in the other direction. I'm so happy that I did! I pulled up and realized that it is located inside of a grocery store. They close down the grocery store side at night, but they keep The Sweet Spot open late at night. It was pretty crowded outside, with some people enjoying their desserts while others were waiting for their orders to be ready. You order through the tablet at the front counter and enter your name. I ordered the strawberry cup with milk chocolate. You can customize it with less or more chocolate or just the regular amount they usually put. I decided to go with the regular amount since I had not tried it before, so I wanted to try it as is. It's DELICIOUS! Not only that, but at the time that I ordered, I asked the two ladies behind the counter (who are gorgeous btw!) about how long the wait time was, since I saw there was a crowd. One lady (whose name I didn't get) told me to give her 2 minutes and that she would have my cup ready. And she totally did! Vibe: Chill but lively for a group of friends after going out or a date night stop. Food: Delicious Price: Not cheap but not super pricy- def worth it as a treat! Portions: I finished the strawberry cup on my own, but it's definitely enough to share with someone else!

Per google maps , this was going to be a thirty seven minute drive, so I called the telephone number that is on their business page , and it was disconnected. Their business page also stated that it opened at 3pm. So I decided that me and my partner were gonna take a drive. We got there early around 230p. So in order to get to them which they are in the very far corner, you have to go through the market. A very crowded (not with people) one at that. We politely asked if they will be opening and they did state that they were running late, so they will be opening at 330p. But my main reason visiting this place is because they had a specific dessert sandwich that they were advertising all over instagram. There was no menu posted, so to reconfirm.I asked them if they were going to be selling those dessert sandwiches. The gentleman did confirm that they will be selling those sandwiches , but not until 5p. WTF! 1. Their telephone number doesn't work 2. The hours posted is incorrect, or switches up as they please 3. They have a specific person at a specific time to make a specific dessert My partner has visited this place once prior to today. He was working in the area and since I was talking about it , he wanted to swing by to stay when it was all about. And he had a very similar encounter where they stated that they were open , but they need to open later due to whatever reason it was. Let me also add, there were three other consumers that stopped by at this establishment to just get in their car and leave due to them not being ready for business. To be honest , I will not be making my way over here anytime soon.

Before covid, I would come here to get a dozen or two of donuts to bring to work on Fridays sometimes. What I forgot is how big they are.

The woman helping customers was genuinely one of the kindest people I've met in a long time. She radiated joy, warmth, and kindness. After an incredibly long and exhausting day, that simple interaction completely changed my mood. The pastries absolutely lived up to the experience. I had the jalapeño cheese pastry, and it was outstanding. Even cold, it was flaky on the outside, soft on the inside, with just the right amount of spice. I caught myself wishing I'd bought another one before I even finished it. My family tried the apple pastry and the sugar donut, and both were equally impressed. The apple pastry was beautifully flaky--you could actually hear the crisp layers with every bite--and the sugar donut disappeared with zero complaints. Great pastries are one thing, but combining exceptional quality with genuinely kind people is what makes a place memorable. I actually considered turning around to buy more before heading home, but I was simply too exhausted after such a long day. That alone tells me everything I need to know. I'll gladly drive the extra distance to come back.

And when I walked in to this spot, they were attentive within 30 sec and ensured I got the help I needed.

The ones I liked the most were the raspberry jelly filled, the glazed, and both the maple bacon and chocolate round donuts. While they are all super soft and fluffy inside, the glazed seemed to be moreso. I was also surprised by the raspberry jelly -- it actually tasted like real raspberries, and there are seeds in it as well, so I'm assuming there are real raspberries in it. It was tart and sweet, and so unexpected. I would get that one again for sure. The chocolate and maple glazed are both very tasty. The chocolate is very chocolatey and actually tastes good (unlike some other places), and the maple has a solid maple flavor. The ones I didn't like were both the cake donuts, and the custard filled. The donut and chocolate part of the custard donut tasted good, but the custard is awful -- it has some strange taste, almost like a minty chemical taste, but not a good mint either, and why does it have such a flavor, anyways? It tastes artificial, and I wish they could make a real custard -- that would be amazing in this donut! Both the cake donuts had some strange, artificial taste in them as well. If they could get rid of the artificial taste, and make a cake donut without it, that would be stellar! I wouldn't purchase any of these again, as they currently are. They seem to shine at making their yeast donuts, not the cake ones, and the raspberry filled is worth getting, while the custard is not (unless you like artificial/chemical tastes). The man behind the counter was very friendly, and he had a good energy. **Edit after posting -- Upon further taste testing of the custard, it reminds me of Pepto Bismol, with a hint of vanilla. So if you think you might enjoy that flavor combination, you would like this donut.
