We brought our family here and honestly didn't expect much at first, but the sushi was out of this world with a very fresh taste. The ice cream was amazing, and the churros were hot, soft, and crunchy. To be honest, this is probably one of the better Mexican spots in the Inland Empire. I would definitely recommend it to anyone passing by, and I will be returning soon. Special shoutout once again to the owner Alfredo for his friendliness and for bringing such a great vibe to the restaurant. Five out of five.

It's in a little shopping plaza with other small businesses. There is plenty of parking. It is brightly lit on the inside and you immediately see the counter with the ice cream bar and some tables. It feels homey and welcoming. There is some nice floral decor. I was immediately greeted when I arrived. I took a look at the menu that is on the counter. Menus are also posted on the window. They have some Hispanic flavors like cajeta and Mexican hot chocolate. I decided to order the Mar and Tierra sushi to go along with an horchata iced latte. Total came out to $25 with some change. I asked the lady how long and she said 15-20. I said that was fine and I took a seat. There was no one inside early in the day (around 1pm). Some customers did come in shortly after I did. My iced latte was done first and it was good. I did taste the horchata and cinnamon. My sushi was ready beforehand. The sushi cake with a bell pepper and soy sauce and other sauce. It was 12 piece roll which was surprised about, it's definitely enough for 2. The sushi is breaded and comes with carne asada, shrimp, avocado, and cream cheese. It was laid out nicely in the box. Delicious and filling. You can also order online. I really enjoyed it! Will definitely come back!

Okay, I finally tried Uncle Fluffy and now I understand the hype…read more I only got a chance to try the Original Japanese Cheesecake, but it was SO good. Super light, fluffy, and not overly sweet, which makes it dangerously easy to keep eating. Pairing it with their cold brew was honestly the move--the coffee and cheesecake together were . The location itself is pretty small, so in my opinion this is more of a grab-your-cheesecake-and-go kind of spot rather than somewhere you're going to hang out for a while. The parking lot can also get pretty busy, so just keep that in mind. Definitely coming back because now I need to try some of the other flavors. If the Original was this good, I have some research to do.

Prices are still affordable too - college student friendly prices. Location is unbeatable - right in University Village (and parking is free now, don't need validation), walking distance from UCR, and right next to the University Ave freeway entrance/exit. We both each got a Cheesecake Slice, Matcha for me & Blueberry for him, and we cut them in half to share. Both were really good! Great value - I think they were only $3.75 each slice! Service was good. Ambiance - it's small and tight so there's nowhere to sit. My friend and I went over to Qamaria to find a table to sit down at instead. Highly recommend this place and will definitely be back if/when I'm in the area again!

It has a hot pink sign and has interior and exterior seating options. You can park in parking structures or side streets in order to walk towards this location. On a hot summer day, they were blasting the AC which was super appreciated! We came in to cool off and enjoy a beer, after reading their signs! Of course, we opted for a glazed donut, too. The guy at the front was nice and friendly! Super chill. We took out items and sat towards the side, under their large TV. He switched on the TV and ended up playing the World Cup game!! I had drank a nice and chilled Space Dust IPA from the tap and my partner had a Blue Moon. I was very delighted by their glazed donuts which were massive! For $6, it was bigger than our faces; I'm guessing x3 the size of a regular donut. I enjoyed it because it was sweet, doughy, and perfectly glazed. A twist of a donut shop, but for their variety of drinks, I don't mind it! Loved the experience. Thank you for having us!

My wedding venue works with her as one of their selected vendors for some of their wedding packages to include the cake or cupcakes. I had the choice between two vendors and I'm so glad I chose her. The tastings are done by appt and you can pick 4 flavors to try. We went with their snickerdoodle and chocolate cupcakes after my tasting. Everything was good but we tried to choose flavors that would appeal to all our guests (no nuts in case of allergies, etc.) We added a small carrot cake separate from the included order just for us to cut. Our guests loved everything. She also does pop up markets near our area and we've tried her cookies, muffins and mini cakes as well. No complaints from anyone in my family. For an added cost she can do set up for you as well which I had asked her to. I provided the dessert stands myself and she did an amazing job with it! I will def be ordering from her in the future and visiting her at the markets when I have a chance to pop in. Thank you so much Joyful for an amazing experience. My guests were still talking about your cupcakes two days after (it's only been three days since haha). I highly recommend you check Baking Spirits Bright out.

I was quickly greeted by a staff member with a joyful "Welcome! What can I get for you?" This was gonna be one of the toughest decisions... which cupcakes do I get?!?!?? I knew I couldn't take one of each, that would be crazy. There were just too many to choose from. I finally decided on the Strawberry Shortcake (for me!), a Carrot Cake, the Lemon Lemon and the Salted Chocolate Caramel. Now that I got the goods, the next step is to get home as quickly as possible so I can enjoy these delights!!! Worth the wait! I took a bite of the Lemon Lemon and the Strawberry Shortcake...devine!

The entire reason why I put in a special order was because I was told one of the flavors I wanted would be changed out on the day I needed to pick up the cupcakes and I wanted the cupcakes to be fresh. I was assured that the bakers that day would see the order and make the cupcake flavor special for my order. Lo and behold, I walk in to collect my order on time and I'm told they dont have my order ready AND they dont have the specific flavor I requested! The person helping me looked at my order and it was the first time she had ever set eyes on it. I had already pre paid for the order at this point and did not have another option so I was SOL. Instead they gave me an old cupcake in the requested flavor that they had stored in a fridge for who knows how long and filled out the rest of the order with what was in the display. So I basically paid full price for old cake. This was my first experience with this bakery and if this is how they treat something as basic as a simple small cupcake order, how am I to trust them to handle anything more complex like a custom cake or a wedding order? No thanks.
