    Cute modern cafe and coffee shop featuring Filipino desserts and pastries, upscale coffee options and some intrigung savory dishes as well. The staff was welconing and the interiot and a warm modern vibe with good seating options. We tried the Ube Tres Leches Cupcake, Ube Pandan Cupcake and Pandan Panna Cotta. Everything was deliciously crafted and exquisitely presented. We are sure to be back for their other treats as well as savory options - in particular the empanadas and Crab "Aligue" Pasta!

    Heard about this new cafe from Nextdoor.com, and we decided to check it out when we were in the area. Sugar Toof is a very clean and cozy cafe, with many Ube specialty drinks and desserts. We ordered a halo halo, Ube tiramisu latte, matcha strawberry latte, bunko pandan panna cotta, Ube tres leches cupcake, and an empanada. I have tried other places with Ube drinks/desserts and sometimes I find the Ube flavor lacking or too weak, but not here. My Ube tiramisu latte had good Ube flavor and is just right amount of sweetness for me. The same for the other drinks and desserts. All were satisfying in flavor and sweetness. Even the savory empanada tasted good and fresh. The halo halo had a good mix of ice cream with the other ingredients like fruit jellies, sweetened beans, etc. It is certainly rich but not overwhelming. The only critic I have was that the pandan panna cotta was a little too firm for my liking. I prefer the Italian version which is softer. We will come back again when we have the craving for Philippines style drinks and desserts.

    Back again for another cupcake. This time tried the dirty Dino milk- malted chocolate milk with condensed milk- and added espresso shot. Deliciousness in a cup. Their service is always excellent and the food never misses. So happy they have reopened. Such a cute vibe. And love that now you can sit inside

    Recently came back shortly after opening. Service was meh and I was watching them be not so helpful to a door dasher because of a language barrier. That just got kind of put me off. I got some empanadas and cupcakes again this time. I tried the longsilog and I was low key disappointed. The food did not taste fresh, rice was hard like day old, longanisa was decent. For the price and portion you are better off making it at home or buying elsewhere. It was $16 and an abomination. It was trying to be all fancy and dressed up but fell flat. I've had this on my list to go to since it first opened. When you walk inside it's actually bigger than you think on the outside. They have plenty of seating. I was overwhelmed with all the items on the display case. Strawberry danish: Looks scary but is delicious. Soft, tart pastry. It kind of falls apart, dough soggy in the middle. I warmed it up in the toaster oven a little and it gave it nice crunchy edges Coconut tart: Loved the nice thick crust like a pie crust. The coconut on top was perfect. Honestly, I couldn't stop eating it Caramel cupcake: Delicious it reminded me of a cake that we used to get for my grandma on birthdays.. Bae's coff: Chocolate cupcake dry, buttercream good but hard Ube oreo cream cheese: Soft and delicious. Easily 2 bite cupcake. Mango caramel cupcake: Mango is typically my go to and the lady who was helping me said it was her favorite. Sadly this was a let down the cupcake was soft but I didn't really taste the mango. Dubai chocolate cupcake: I enjoyed the filling throughout the cupcake. It made the chocolate cupcake less dry. Buttercream a little hard. Ube caramel cupcake: Deliciously soft and flavorful. Cream on top was soft with the sweet caramel. Beef empanada: Meaty and flaky pastry. One of the first empanadas in a long time that wasn't mostly potatoes, peas,carrots, and raisins. It was nothing but beef. Chicken empanada: Meaty and flaky pastry. Ube tiramisu latte: This was more coffee than ube. Even after stirring I mostly tasted coffee with a hint of coconut. I'm not sure where the tiramisu flavor is. The picture made it look cool but what I got didn't look like the picture. This place is a hidden gem. I came here on a Sunday right before closing. The ladies were nice that helped me. Everything was so good I can't wait to come back. Upon looking at the website more after visiting, I believe they either worked or owned Sunflower Bakery. That's why the caramel cupcakes were so amazing. It's the one I used to go with my grandma. I highly recommend this place and can't wait to come back soon.

    Chicken empanadas & beef empanadas (pastry crust reminds me of Porto's!!)
    Gillian A.

    Place is poppin' during late afternoon merienda time. :p The empanadas are *amazingly* flaky! Dare I say the pastry crust is on par with the one used for the meat pies at Porto's Bakery (IYKYK). I specifically tried the chicken and beef empanadas. No skimping on the meat filling but the fillings are kinda bland. Chimichurri and aioli sauces are served on the side, but I still wished the filling was traditional-Filipino-style with peas, carrots, potatoes, and the most controversial empanada ingredient addition, raisins (yeah I'm team raisin, sue me!). I also tried the ube tres leches cupcake; flavorless whipped cream frosting but the soaked cake part has a bold ube flavor to it. Overall nice little chilled treat especially on a summer day. Wanted to try out the silvanas but they were sold out at the time of my visit. Very friendly staff. Humble interior; good for a no-fuss catch-up date with a friend. Ample plaza parking.

    Halo halo

    Came for the silvanas since closing of go-to-silvanas bakery. And happy to say it's quite comparable! Love the nuts and light /airy pastry. Halo Halo perfect especially since it's 93degrees outside. Nice energy from the staff and sitting area was comfortable and clean. Looking forward to trying more from their menu.

    They revamped and elevated their business after the fire. It's kind of like the silver lining from that accident. They decorated the new location beautifully and the colors compliment each other so well. They also have indoor seating now! They expanded their menu too! They have drinks, pastries, desserts, coffee, and some savory dishes too. The coffee menu is limited. We tried the loganisa bowl which was underwhelming considering the price. The arugula salad didn't compliment the dish at all. The desserts are still on point though. I hope they expand their coffee menu because I can see this becoming one of my go-to cafes.

    Tiramisu Ube Iced Latte
    Gina G.

    There is something about the caramel cupcakes from Sugar Toof that hit every time. Now open in a new location in Hercules, Sugar Toof is back and I was so excited to stop in to try my first ever iced tiramisu ube flavored latte. Delicious and so pretty to look at! There are so many beautiful items to choose from, with a mix of Filipino x Italian fusion. So cool! I ordered a few empanadas to-go because I was on the run (love the different dipping sauces per filling type), but would love to come back and go ham with the array of desserts and Chicken Milanese sandwich. All in all, still so happy to see those caramel cupcakes behind the glass! There's plenty of seating inside and plenty of free shopping center parking. Service was great, you can tell everyone truly enjoys working here and has a love for what they're doing/selling/making. Loved the interior aesthetics and the good crowd of excited patrons that came in while I was there that knew about their old location. Forever fans! Looking forward to many future visits to come..

    Empanada - chicken.
    Anndora L.

    I've been here twice. I originally came in for the crab fat pasta but the guy at the counter explained they were out and about to change the menu. Service is outstanding and they don't mind answering questions either! So, I ordered the Dry Pork Sinigang and a chicken empanada. (and the second time I ordered the sinigang again with a matcha drink). The interior is modern with counter service. You can pick up and order baked goods too.

    This Biscoff Latte is so good. One of the best coffee drinks I have tried in a minute. I just moved around here a few months ago but I always find myself stopping by to get a sweet treat or a drink. Would be a cute and clean study spot too. The workers are always so kind and welcoming to my me and my family.

    Carmel Cupcake was good
    Alvin F.

    Man, I really hate to give bad reviews, but I really feel it's my duty to let others know about my experience with the food and desserts from Sugar Toof. It was a Thursday afternoon, and I remembered seeing their empanadas on Instagram. I was very excited get it. We ordered their Chicken, their Beef and their Vegetable empanada. First off, the outer shell of the empanada was ok. I kind of expected it to be less flaky. Maybe others like it flaky, but it just wasn't for me. The chicken was very dry. The Beef didn't have much filling. And the Vegetable, I don't know what to say about it. It wasn't anything special. The one thing that really disappointed me was their "Dubai Cupcake". I have to strongly not recommended this at all. If you know Dubai Chocolate items, they usually have kataifi inside. First bite into it, something didn't seem right. I opened the cupcake more and noticed the kataifi was raw. It was not crispy, it was not toasted, it was just like raw dough. It didn't even seem to have the pistachio cream. I was very disappointed in this and just threw the rest after taking a picture of it to warn others. Granted, maybe that Thursday they somehow forgot to toast the kataifi, but that really messed things up for me. The one thing that was ok was the Carmel Cupcake. But I wouldn't make a trip out here just for their Carmel cupcake. I wish this place luck, but I will not be returning.

    The matcha is life! Remember the caramel cupcakes at Sunflower... they are here!! Interior is bright, clean and has a nice cafe vibe. Buy your cupcake and other goodies ala carte or by the dozen

    Pistachio Cannoli
    Joseph M.

    My sister really wanted to try this place out so here I am. I ordered the pistachio cannoli and my dad and my sister shared a halo halo. The pistachio cannoli was crunchy and had the right amount of sweetness to it. I didn't try the halo halo but my sister and my dad said that they enjoyed it. The workers here are very kind and helpful. This restaurant has a lot of cool pastries to choose from. I'll definitely check out the next time I come by. Try it out if you like. :)

"Will a cake decorator be there today?" Their response "yes until 11am" Arrived at 1015am (before 11a). Saw the cake decorator. As she was helping another customer, she said "I'm leaving soon. I can't help you. You should call next time" little did she know, I DID call before I arrived. We asked politely "can you please help us and take our order." Rolled her eyes and took our order with annoyance. During this order, she made smirk comments "that's a weird way to spell a name"-- (it's a very simple name, only 3 letters). Then I pointed out a design of a cake in their binder and told her we don't need the toys. Im just interested in the border design and colors. She said "we can't make it". This order was for a first birthday, so I asked if they bake a free smash cake. They said "No" I showed the google results the Safeway and Lucky has this offer. They proceeded with "No, sorry" which is fine. I continued with my order and selected a design they can make. Fast forward 5 days later. I learned that Safeway El Cerrito honors the free smash cake with your child's 1st birthday sheet cake. So I went to cancel my order at hercules and receive my refund. Refund went smoothly in the customer service department. No questions. No issues. Walked over to the bakery dept to let them know I cancelled my cake order. No one in the bakery to be found. Someone from deli dept came over to help. SURPRISE: they CANT FIND my order receipt. THANK GOODNESS I CANCELLED. I WOULD HAVE BEEN CAKELESS FOR MY DAUGHTER'S 1ST BIRTHDAY. SAVE YOURSELF TIME AND ENERGY. GO TO ANOTHER BAKERY TO PREORDER YOUR CAKES/CUPCAKES. OTHERWISE, YOU MIGHT RISK NOT HAVING A CAKE MADE FOR YOUR SPECIAL EVENT. And who wants their cake being made by a rude/pissy cake decorator. Don't need that negative energy put into your cake.
