    Homespun!
    Kevin T.

    Trying out Sugar Cinns' signature Homespun was a treat during a recent summer iteration of Foodieland, where they had a little stall setup. Their stall had nothing less than 200% enthusiasm for their baked treats, which certainly helps them stand out from the crowd. My brother was a tad skeptical and I admit I wasn't entirely sure what was special about it, but trust me when I say the baked goods are quite delightful. Nominally the folks promoting it described it as a muffin-donut hybrid of sorts. That did not prepare me for just how moist and soft it all was and to be frank I'd agree it's a good 'sweet' spot that it occupies that's closer to Chinese desserts than American ones. Tasting a little like cornbread, but with a well balanced sweetness...but texture-wise has to be the softest donut I've ever had. Even reminiscing about it now, I'd absolutely grab another one at the next chance!

    Maple homespun without an edible label.
    Thomas B.

    I just had a maple homespun from Sugar Cinn Bakery yesterday courtesy of Jenn Gilson Real Estate Group. This dessert treat is a cross between a cupcake, doughnut, and a muffin. It was really moist and flavorful and had a cream filling which was a lovely surprise. The associate (I forget her name) said that their edible labelMaker was broken and that they usually have edible labels on top of their desserts which is super cool! Other flavors in the two boxes, included chocolate, strawberry, and Oreo. If I need to bring a shareable dessert to an event, I will definitely consider them next time. I can't wait to go to their shop in San Bruno and try more things!

    Sugar Cinns makes the perfect addition to any celebration, Sunday brunch with the ladies,sleepover breakfast, office gathering and teacher appreciation gift. Not quite a cupcake not quite a muffin impossibly airy and fluffy, the homespun is fantastic.I love the maple flavor my tweens prefer the chocolate and my husband is partial to the lemon. I can't recommend these enough!

    I had a great experience here, so this review will be a pleasure to write…read more I was here on a warm Tuesday afternoon. It's a nice and cozy gelato shop. Plenty of tables inside and out. I asked for a medium, and asked for a scoop of chocolate and espresso coffee. The nice young lady behind the counter said she can put a third flavor in a medium cup. Well, what should I get? Some flavors weren't available. I asked for mint chip. The young lady said the mint flavor is strong, and will probably over-power the other flavors. So, I went with the great combination of - chocolate, coffee and vanilla. She offered to dress up my gelato with chocolate drizzle and a wafer for free. This made for a great Yelp picture! Most place charge extra for a wafer and toppings. I grabbed a small table inside and slowly enjoyed my gelato. Very nice place, I'll come again! 2-hour free parking at the curb.

    They don't allow sampling flavors, but we seem to have done a perfect job of picking our flavors…read morethe first time that we were here. We got the California Pistachio and the Espresso Coffee gelato. The verdict - easily one of the best that I've ever had. Not cloyingly sweet and simply divine. Service was pleasant and quick. Not much in the way of ambiance, other than a few white tables and chairs inside. I can see why the place is so popular. It maybe well worth having a bit more seating area outside. This gelato place is worth a drive to San Carlos.

I'm a sweet tooth but my middle-aged gut needs to avoid excess sugars/flour and dairy so their menu options are perfect. So far, my picky gut has been very happy with Mangonada, Green Smoothie, and Michelagua. Some people need bubble tea regularly, I need their Michelagua whenever I'm passing Belmont!! The staff are very friendly and patient as I'm still learning the menu and want to try everything. I walk out looking like I have a family to feed, meanwhile I'm solo tasting my way through the menu The decor is cute and the store always looks neat. Street parking in this area is always a crap shoot (not their fault), but there is a public parking lot across the street (on the corner of 6th & Emmett). I'm a fan and will be coming here like I have a gym membership. See you there!

When we walked in, we were greeted right away. Customer service is great, you can sample the ice creams. Different flavors than other ice cream shops, but BETTER. They had rice pudding, queso, eggnog, strawberry to name a few. The hubby decided to have the queso ice cream in a cup and I had the creminieve, it was fresh strawberries with 2 scoops of ice cream (you can choose what flavor ice cream, but I think it's best with the strawberry ice cream) and topped with cream, it was DELICIOUS I finished the whole thing! They also had dessert waffles available. Cute ice cream shop, friendly service, and delicious desserts. Definitely a must when you're in the area!

    I like visiting here with my family. We go somewhat regularly and I've also bought their cakes…read more Those are great! Lots of variety and new items to try. I had one poor experience, which is why I knocked off one star. As a Filipina, I was curious to try their Ube flavored drinks. I've had many elsewhere and I was very disappointed with the one I received. I understand it was a new item on the menu but frankly, the drink was gross... it didn't taste like Ube at all. It tasted like rancid, dirty ice water. I couldn't bring myself to drink more of it. I was involuntarily retching with any attempt to try it again. I normally speak directly to someone if something is off instead of resorting to yelp comments so that's what I did but the person at the register did not acknowledge what I had to say and he did not assure me of any systems in place to consider my feedback further. What I got was that "he never tried it" and "that's just how it tastes." I probably wouldn't have left this review if I wasn't left so disappointed with the interaction. I will continue to support the business because I understand that one bad drink is just that but I am nervous about ordering drinks from here again... All my other interactions and orders have been honestly stellar otherwise.

    I wish this space had gone to a small, independently-owned bakery instead, something more in line…read morewith an authentic French bakery experience, which is what the branding here suggests. This is actually a large chain, and the name leads you to expect something it doesn't deliver: the pastries and selection don't feel French at all. Having enjoyed real French cuisine elsewhere, this felt more like picking something up at a grocery store bakery counter than a genuine patisserie experience. Our son has wanted to stop in a few times, and each time I've left disappointed. Service has also been underwhelming and the staff seemed unhappy and inattentive.

It's easy to get lackluster service these days so I want to shout out the team behind the counter as a whole. They were doing what they had to do, learning, and efficient. The price of the drinks are a little high, but once you taste the freshness of the ingredients and drinks, it's understandable. They also had a special the day I came in. Looking forward to bringing my sister when she is in town. Keep up the good work!

Service is fast. Not a lot of seating inside, but there are a couple additional small tables for 2-4 people outside on the patio. Chose the cheapest item on the menu, which was the taro ube sago for $7.95 before tax. Honestly, it's pretty hard to mess up taro ube sago, so at best, I'd say it only meets the standard. It was more of a dessert soup than a pudding, which is what I expected. Serving size definitely way too small for the portion amount, even if you say the glass jar itself costs ~$2 (and that feels like a generous estimate). I've made an entire pot of taro sago that served 15 people that cost about $8 in raw ingredients. Personally don't see the value in coming back, but if you're looking for Chinese desserts in a pinch, then this place does the job.
